Sorry to single you out, this is for

the few on this board capable of judgment based on experience and facts.

I urge you to watch MSNBC'S Lawrence O;Donnel' show "The Last Word" and
"The Rachel Maddow Show," which follows.

In my opinion, she and her staff are the best investigative reporters around now
like Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward were during the nixon era.

You're opinion is based on these fidgets telling YOU what you WANT to hear.Lawrence O'Donnell and Richard Maddow(it don't look like no Rachel to me) wouldn't make a wart on Woodward and Bernstiens azz.

Rick. i ask you to reflect upon yourself for using the word judgements, when clearly you should have used the word opinions. Is this a trait?

It is dangerous to mistake "political commentary entertainers" for "investigative reporters".


We globalists have successfully dumbed down America. Scoreboard!

#6 and #7...good posts.

Remove the Critical Thinking from a daily regimen and surrender that to others that you believe have your best interests???

Yeah...the Sophists had it right waaaaay back when.

Nothing new under the sun, but when you're a slave to the boob tube or rip the knobs off and watch only one you've narrowed down the deciphering that the "reporters" are doing.

Let's face it...the talking heads only read a teleprompter...Just like Ron Burgundy...they'll read it all...everything that's there. Remove them from their make-up and fancy suits and they're a stuttering dolt with an axe to grind.

It doesn't surprise me that Rick feels this way in one iota. He's surrendered a long time ago. If you can't join the chorus then at least sing really really loud to make sure you're heard, right? Maybe make a convert along the way. Perhaps even get a few to stop actually correcting poor behavior. Eventually the herd thins itself out. The Cliff Theory.

It's a shame.

The dumbing down that was accurately foretold in "Idiocracy" is here. Right in front of our eyes. People now watch Dancing With The Stars and then the PMSNBC to watch their filtered news. There was a thread about where people got their news about a week, maybe 2 weeks ago. Insightful. When I had DirecTV I would watch BBC news. I found it enjoyable that they would devote 15-20 minutes to a story instead of the snippet 1-3 minutes and then the obligatory "...and Chuck back to you for today's Sports...".

As we spiral downwards the exit signs become blurred. You can get off the "road" if you want. It takes Action not words. It means YOU have to DO something. As the toilet bowl spirals to finish the flush sequence I only hope that the real turds get flushed down the drain.

I even watched American Idol last night. Why does Randy call everyone "dog"?

I do not criticize people for becoming enthralled by their political commentary entertainer choice. The world needs tools, too! Meanwhile, trust "us" to take care of everything.

He used to call everyone bitches, but Ryan Seacrest would always think he was calling him by name.

Here's how Americans are choosing to be entertained:

25,000,000 watched American Idol Wednesday night
20,000,000 watched Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday night
3,300,000 watched Fox News (O'Reilly's numbers; Beck and Hannity have about 2 million each)
880,000 watched MSNBC (Maddow's numbers; Matthews and O'Donnell are a bit lower)
