You think Martin Bashir is a "mainstream" journalist?

Thanks for the laugh.

He spent years as a newsman for the BBC and for ABC, and hosted
Nightline for a while. That's all pretty mainsteam.

---------------------------------

I guess it all depends on one's point of reference.

Personally, I'd like to see Bashir and Piers Morgan deported back to
the mother country.

I agree on both counts. Come to this country, then tell everyone what's
wrong with this country!!!

--------------------------------------------

Morgan does more than just complain about what's wrong with the USA. He
has become a loud activist for banning the private ownership of handguns
and rudely interrupts or talks over anyone who disagrees with him. I
can't understand why CNN pays him the big bucks for this unless is
purely from a standpoint of ratings.

Bashir is similar in his bashing of American culture and laws. He also
talks over his guests if they don't share his viewpoints. I find it
very difficult to listen to either which is too bad because if they were
more considerate and polite to their guests, I'd probably at listen to
them even if I didn't agree with them.

Both expel a "I am superior to all" attitude.

Ahh, but no one is forcing you to watch or listen to either of them, right?

------------------------------------------

I'll watch and listen to them for a while because I am interested in
other people's point of view but when they become disrespectful of
others, talk over them (they both have a habit of doing this when their
guest is making a reasonable point from an opposing point of view), I
usually grab the clicker and change the channel.

Both like to climb up on their soapboxes and start sermonizing on what's
wrong with America and what should be done to fix it, usually
referencing Great Britain as a shining example. They don't seem to
understand that there are reasons why we are no longer part of their
country.

Quite frankly, I don't believe you "grab the clicker" as you never come
up with any discussion based on anybody else's point of view but
Commentators at MSNBC... If you ever watch anybody else, it sure must be
a tightly held secret what you watched, if you ever did, you would
sometimes comment on their rhetoric beyond the "msnbc talking points"...
Just my observation.
