Steve Kornecki's game, Up Against the Clock, on his weekend show often proves

that his panelist or sometimes guest know very little about current events. Questions about politics and political situations are often unanswered or answered incorrectly. They get all their information from the teleprompter.

They must not remember what they read, or something.

8. That is a really good point. It is very revealing.

I would love to see Chuck Todd on there. The producers would never let that happen, as he would be completely humiliated (Well, on second thought, Chuck Todd has no shame since he is very well paid being a cheerleader for the 1%).

It was really shocking how few newsreaders knew much at all. The best participant in the shows I have watched was a sports writer, whose name I cannot recall at the moment. I will try to look up his name and post it.

Great post! Thanks.

I was totally taken aback.
