Even though her husband is out of the game, he still has friends. So does she.

Circle. When one refers to the Punditocracy of D.C.,Mrs.Greenspan,Tweety.Joe Scab,and other Bloviators. With the Media power of Comcast/GE/Anshutz Hedge Fund,anything NBC/MSNBC and their Reality Channels,will be organized alone Conservative Political lines. If you read Media Matter stories,the facts smack one right in the face as to how they control the National Political Debate.

Remember Poly Sci 101,he who controls the debate wins. With twenty per cent of the populace in the middle politically,this is the Strategist red meat,just craft a message that sells to the eleven per cent and you win. Duh!!!!

If they keep dumping their best commentators like Joy Ann Reid, I won't watch them. MAYBE I'll tune in for just Rachel Maddow but who knows how long she'll be there?.
