WARNING! All guests on Face the Nation tomorrow=Republicans including a Tea Party strategist

[alp227]

The guests on tomorrow morning's Face the Nation:
- Marco Rubio, Republican candidate from Florida for US Senate
- Ken Buck, Republican candidate from Colorado for US Senate
- Sal Russo, chief strategist, Tea Party Express

Yep. That's it. Apparently the producers couldn't book a damn single Democratic guest to interview, even though Fox at least got Steny Hoyer on tomorrow's Fox News Sunday alongside the Republican representatives John Boehner and Kevin McCarthy. Makes sense, as Hoyer is the House Majority Leader and Boehner his minority counterpart. (Both CBS and Fox are forgoing roundtables tomorrow morning it seems.)

On NBC's Meet the Press, Reps. Chris Van Hollen (chair of the Democratic Cong. Campaign Cmte.) and Mike Pence (chair of the Republican Cmte.) are the guests...followed by the special Education Nation roundtable featuring the three "reformers" Michelle Rhee, Robert Bobb, and (gasp!) Arne Duncan alongside the American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten.

On ABC's This Week with the new host Christiane Amanpour, Queen Rania of Jordan will discuss the Middle East peace process in an exclusive interview. Also appearing are White House adviser David Axelrod and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell. The roundtable: George Will, Donna Brazile, Matthew Dowd, and Ron Brownstein.

1. resetting alarm for 12 Est Fox Sunday Football.

thanks

[WCGreen]

2. Round up the usual suspects....

Yawn, blah blah blah

[gratuitous]

3. Well, you KNOW how hard it is for the Republicans to get their message out

I mean, Fox is only one network out of four. And Face the Nation has to get the newsiest, most controversial people on to attract viewers. It's a mere coincidence that five weeks out from the election, they're running the equivalent of a half-hour political commercial for one party. Coincidence, I tell you!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. A Raving Loony strategist

[jillan]

8. I saw that - but Schieffer (spelling?) has been doing a decent job at holding their feet to the fire

lately - he was the one who got Orange Julius in trouble w/ his base for saying he would vote for middle class tax cuts even if it didn't include tax cuts for the rich.

9. I think I'll watch just to see if he throws hardballs.

12. How do the wingnuts keep convincing themselves that the media is "liberal"?

Can they not see what is right in front of their eyes? And how could an industry controlled entirely by huge mega-corporations ever be "liberal"? It's a contradiction in terms.

Why do the things republicans say never, ever make the slightest amount of sense? What is wrong with them?

:shrug:

15. Sunday mornings have historically been biased toward the right

13. Put the spotlight on them and show the world what idiots they are

This is one show that should be recorded to extract every gaff, every contradiction, and every wacko statement they make.

It will be Youtube time for the right wing nut jobs.

[RainDog]

16. another example of how the U.S. media whores for right wingers

and this is also why I no longer watch mainstream news programs - they're a waste of time.
