Today's Face the Nation Recap

Courtesy of Tweets & Retweets by @EricBoehlert

If you're scoring at home, FaceTheNation had 3 Trump surrogates (Conway, Chaffetz, Carson) & 1 Clinton surrogate (Brazile).


number of times Trump's tax returns were mentioned? 0


number of times "emails" mentioned on @FaceTheNation today? 27.


i guess this is what passes as campaign journalism. (Dickerson actually asked, 'why isn't Clinton winning by more?)


good grief. Donna Brazile was on @FaceTheNation today. Host John Dickerson only asked her abt two topics: Clinton polls and Clinton emails.

...about the "Libbrul Media."

That's like shooting your unarmed neighbor in front of his family and then demanding better gun control.

The Sunday morning shows used to mean something. "Meet the Press", the oldest of them, used to actually mean meeting the press. Now it is solely "Pressing the Meat". (I will let people interpret that anyway that they would like -- hopefully with negative connotations.)

Where, oh where is Edward R. Murrow, or, Keith Olbermann, when we need them?

Good night, and good luck.
