59. I don't watch as often as I used to
I stopped watching Tweety a long time ago and the only time I ever watched Tucker was when he and Bill Press has a show on CNN.

There are other important stories other than the primaries to cover. It may be because I haven't been watching as often but I can't recall the last FISA story and he has said nothing about Wilson and the alleged buying of votes in New Mexico. I always stopped watching after World's Worst Person because I could give a rat's patootie about celebrity news.

At least Olbermann and Alter admit the media loves the extended primary of the democrats. Alter crossed the line IMHO when he made the monastery comment last night. There has been so much bile recently that I have stopped watching a lot of the coverage and choose to read. At times, it is no better than TV. I imagine when he calls your candidate of choice out on something, you don't like it and that's normal. I am an Edwards supporter so I have my own issues with MSM.

I will be happy when the news shows start covering politics more and less of the primaries. Basically the same stories air with different hosts, pundits and commentators all day long. If you watch it all day long, by the time Olbermann is aired you could recite the story by yourself.
