No, my point was no matter who did the study, Huffington Hoax is about as credible messenger as National Enquirer.... So... let me get this straight. It doesn't matter that a VERY well respected, one of the best research centers in the world was the ones who came up with the data, because the Huff post reported on it means that it isn't credible???? Are you really that stupid? So, please show what data you have that contradicts Pew's data..... |

As opinions and commentary goes, I thought it was fairly well presented and balanced by all of the participants, from those who just claimed "lies, lies, lies" to a reasonable explanation .... right or wrong .... of what was going on in Bush's head at the time. So, you had a few libs doing the loogie and suggesting the most sinister view of what Bush was thinking and the republicans (surprised they allowed them on MSNBC) were dismissing it for what it was? Ok.. makes sense:) ------------------------------------------- I think "Morning Joe" is the only show on MSNBC that is hosted by a Republican (Joe Scarborough) . The rest the commentary shows are all hosted by liberal Democrats. They have regular conservative "guests" or political commentators like Michael Steele, but they are usually used to emphasize and contrast the liberal host's agenda. I like Michael Steele. He's smart, has an open mind and usually holds his own against the liberal attacks. They used to have Pat Buchanan but he was an obvious racist. He was often funny, but he went too far some times and it finally caught up to him and he was canned. |

If think for a moment, the Pew Study actually presents Fox News in a favorable light .... at least as compared to MSNBC .... in terms of time spent presenting news versus time spent delivering opinionated political commentary. |

If he were running for office here in Maryland and he were a Democrat and ran a decent campaign, I might vote for him. He's a lot better as a commentator, though, than as a political candidate. When he ran the last two times, his campaigns were really sleazy. |
