another reminder that there is NO hope for this country to ever reach its potential.

Fox News doesn't have any Democrats again.

See any Progressives in this group of clowns AT ALL?
And WTF's up with Press the Meat? On a show with Bebe "I'm-a-yahoo," two freakin' hawks--Nunn and, for god's sake tell me it isn't Fred (I've forgotten my teeth) Thompson!
I detested Tim Russet for being Cheney's access megaphone, so understand that when I ask what the hell's happened to Press the Meat?
Does the media recognize that there's any kind of left wing in this country at all? How can we impress this upon them?

What's with CBS? Republican John McCain? Didn't he lose the election? Someone should let Bob know that the Democrats are in power and he might want to book a couple. His bias is not playing well for his brother, who is trying to prove to Texans that he is a Democrat, and we should support him for Governor..

Four Democrats, eight Republicans, two egregious DINO's (including one washed up has-been with about as much influence and relevance as my left ass cheek), and one right wing loon from Isreal who's too much of a lightweight even to count as a neocon.
Damn, if only we'd won the last two elections by decisive margins, taken over the White House and controlled both houses of Congress by commanding margins. I'll bet the MSM would have to pay attention to us if that had happened.

And its not like DiFi, Brezenski and Casey are exactly what you'd call model standard-bearers for the progressive cause.

So is this disparity because Dems actually like visiting their families over weekends?

I have a gut feeling that many on the Left will be quite outraged this weekend. I'll just wait for the clips and blog reports. I won't be watching as I am in no mood for liars and cowards.

With a lineup like that, can there be anyone under 80 watching? I have to laugh at Gregory's lineup. Are Nunn and Thompson the only Americans he could get to appear with Netanyahu. I mean is that pathetic or what!

Good points all. Between crap like this and the Froomkin purge, you've got to suspect that their demographics are showing only old people care about the traditional media and so, like the last buggy whip makers, they're fighting it out to the death for the biggest share of a shrinking market.

Ex-Sens Nunn and Somnambulent Fred, plus Bibi? WTF???

A prediction: instead of asking really tough questions, with tough follow ups, Gregory will go all warm and fuzzy on Bibi. And Bibi, as a result, will appear to be reasonable.
What's going on with the media anyway? It really seems to have become more conservative since the election.

Hey, its okay. All part of being balanced and obective. After all, they seemed more liberal after Bush was appointed. Oh, wait. Never mind.

Wow, you'd think that John McCain was actually relevant based on this lineup....
Every time I start to think that maybe I'm missing something by only watching the Daily Show/Colbert's take on the traditional media, I see this kind of lineup and am assured that I most certainly am not.
