Ta, Evan. I'm glad I don't watch TV.

Those eyes. It's like if a religious cult leader made his followers all wear racoon makeup.

Speaking of Robert Hur, Gomer Comer said he was planning to put Hur in front of his shitass committee to talk about how senile Joe Biden is, now that attempts to tie Biden to foreign payments have gone nowhere. I wonder how that's going?

Specifically, I wonder if there's enough real attorney left in Hur to tell Comer to get stuffed, and if he gets dragged in front of the committee, he'll tell them they're full of shit?

I said from the start they should've put Hallie Jackson in that chair.

That was worse than a Chuck Todd. Chuck was wishy-washy and mush-mouthed and totally incapable of either fact-checking or asking a pointed follow-up. "We'll have to leave it there." Really? Why do you have to leave it there?

But I digress.

THIS woman made expressly false statements of affirmative fact, and kept doing so when her error was pointed out, not to mention the absolutely misleading screen-grab as the article points out.

This is not both-siderism, this is uncritical spouting of false, right wing propaganda.

I don't watch this show as it comes on in my market at a time I'm usually watching the Chelsea Football Club, or some Premier League match which might impact the Chelsea Football Club, so I didn't know how bad MTP has deteriorated. Yikes.

Lady, what is wrong with you that causes you to so strenuously carry water for people who despise you and want to marry you off to some rich old asshole without your consent the way they do in the FLDS, with no chance of divorce, and strip you of your vote, make you just another personal possession of your master whose job is to crank out the babies and shut up? Is that the life you want to trade your job and personal autonomy for? Pushing RNC talking points and enabling fascists is NOT journalism, and it does you no credit. Go and watch The Handmaid's Tale, and observe how Serena Joy Waterford gets broken by the very system she advocated for. Get a liberal feminist to watch it with you, to explain the parts you will want to ignore.

'Trump's a liar and now you're a liar too. You happy about that?'

The DNC needs to put on an advertising blitz now. NBC et al are not going to stop trying to get tangeranus back in office.

She’s still so pissed off that Jen Psaki got a job straight from the WH.

It's a reporter's job to repeat what many people are saying. Otherwise how will people know what to say?

Brought to you by our Comcast overlords! Call Comcast for your fascist needs.

Don't even need to call them. (Yeah, like some world exists where you could call them.) They're already sending our hard-earned dollars to support Fox News every month.

SURE everybody likes Landrieu just fine until the alert sounds and everybody goes crazy for a day.

David Gregory really sucked big time also, too!

Hard to know if Welker is any good. The format of Beat the Meat is dated and doomed to fail. It was one thing in the original days when it was hard to get air time because there just were not that many mics open. Now, every Tom, Dick and Sally has a hand held broadcast studio and the platforms for broadcasting are ubiquitous. So how do you get some blow hole pol to show up in a DC studio at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning? You offer them 1/2 hour of softball questions that they can answer with talking points of the day. NBC is just filling air time.

"...the Chuck Todd of Chuck Todd replacements..."

This wretched timeline exists for the sake of that bit.

Is Welker really to blame for The Allegedly bullshit? She doesn't necessarily write that stuff. She can suck for other reasons.

She was pretty animated...

Maybe the have her gran in a secure location and post her a finger regularly.

That would explain a lot
