Has anyone in MSM called bullshit on GOP for trying to cut deficit AND lower taxes on rich?
It seems like that bit of hypocrisy should be the only conversation when they go on the talking head shows and Sunday coffee klatches, and the question should be doggedly pursued until the Republicans run off the stage in tears, and not just on one show, but every show.

I gave up on TV news for everything thing but fires and car chases within a year of 9/11, when it became clear the news had been cancelled and replaced with a remake of Starship Troopers starring Muslims as the bugs, so I don't know how much time they actually spend on what anymore.

2. Exactly the same outlets that called for cutting the military to pay for Medicare.

3. No, because they are nearly all rich themselves.
So why, in our narcissistic, me-first, me-only, culture would they do that?

6. Because the republicans would simply say....
The democrats agree with us. After all, Mr Obama extended the Bush tax cuts.

7. Lawrence O'Donnell got pretty darn harsh yesterday
He may not be on MSNBC (NBC) much longer. He may join the ranks of Keith.

8. The ranks of Keith, he should only hope
Kieth Olbermann is now news director of a network and the sole editor of content for his own new Countdown show, starting next month. You do understand that, right?
