1. Wasn't it him who admitted to getting daily e-mails from GOP high-ups during the election? |
|
I'm almost positive it was.
God I loathe him. I can't even bear to watch MTP anymore.

7. Do you know how do they calculate who is watching what |
|
If I watch MTP on my comcast cable, does comcast report the numbers? I would like to tank that right wing tool also.

15. It really is this simple - this and shoot the network an e-mail telling they you refuse to watch |
|
He won't last long, oh, and shoot an e-mail to the advertisers who support him telling them you will not watch him and you are disappointed in them for supporting him. Like I said, he won't last long.

18. I was judging based on your description of them |
|
"GOP talking points" are easily refuted.

4. I think he's doing a good job this AM. He's asking the questions that have been raised |
|
over the last week or so, and that's his job.

HOW ELSE CAN YOU KEEP THE ILLITERATE (US ) FOOLED? THEY SAY THE MEDIAS LIBERAL. WHERE DO THEY GET THE FACTS FROM? THE CONSERVATIVE THINK TANKS. THERE IS NO DOUBT THE AMERICAN WORKER IS IN DIRE STRAITS. HE'S LOSING PENSION PLANS,HIS 401K IS A JOKE,HIS LARGEST INVESTMENT HIS HOME HAS LOST VALUE AND THEIR SEEMS TO BE NOBODY LOOKING OUT FOR HIS INTEREST. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT SO MANY DEMOCRATS WERE ELECTED IN NOVEMBER. IS IT ANY WONDER WE VOTED FOR CHANGE? YET THESE HARD CORE RIGHT WING REPRESENTATIVES ARE DIGGING THEIR TOE NAILS IN TO PREVENT LOSING THEIR FAT CAT WAY OF LIFE. WE ALL KNOW THEY DO NOT HAVE THE WORKING CLASS INTERESTS IN THEIR HEART. BUT THEY NEED TO BAMBOOZLE THESE PEOPLE TO HELP THEM CONTINUE TO TAKE THEIR TAX DOLLAR. AND BELIEVE ME THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT. YOUR TAX DOLLAR IS THE BIG PIE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THEY WANT IT ALL. THANK GOD THE MAJORITY IS STARTING TO WAKE UP. THE COUNTRY DOES WELL WHEN WE ALL DO WELL. WE NEED JOBS WITH BENEFITS. IF WE HOLD OUT FOR THEM THEY HAVE TO SUPPLY THEM. WHY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO IT ! LABOR AND FAT CATS HAVE NEVER MIXED!

8. That's MTP and the NBC franchise. Which is why you shouldn't get too comfy watching MSNBC. |
|
David Gregory is also the guy who stuck it to Bush, and made him a laughingstock in France. "Ewww, que bueno!!! Ah kin speak a foreign language TEW!!!" or words to that effect...
Don't expect "party loyalty" from people in the news media. Don't expect them to be great, or even good. They are what they are, people trying to make a living.
Contact them...and say WHAT? Waaah, I don't like the fact that Gregory took the opposing view to a guest on his show? Please. That's what he is SUPPOSED to do. I used to get annoyed when Russert would coddle the GOP, and NOT take the opposing view. But he's dead now, so there's no worrying about him anymore.
If Axelrod can RESPOND to the points, he smacks them down effectively. The worst thing is a QUESTION LEFT UNANSWERED. And the GOP have been circulating "questions" for all too long.

9. I actually thought the questions were fair, and I usually can't stand him. |
|
I don't think they were "gotcha" questions, but "gotcha" questions have been a part of Meet the Press since Tim Russert, so it's no surprise.
Axelrod did a good job.

12. I find adversarial questions fair |

Edited on Sun Feb-15-09 10:35 AM by ErinBerin84
But it always seems like his questions to Repubs are um, less than adversarial. At least lately (on MTP).

17. I was listening to him while I was doing something else |
|
He's very combative. Thinks he's a hardnose journalist. Axelrod handled him well.
