Anyone listening to CNN, Larry King, w/Russert? I just

[babylonsister]

tuned in...

1. :cricket: :cricket: No one watches that crap anymore

Larry King and the rest of those hacks are a complete waste of time.

[babylonsister]

3. Russert's getting critical call-ins from angry Americans.

Schiavo and the Runaway Bride were brought up, and how inane both stories became. He agreed there's a problem.

2. I don't have Russert on.. but I just saw him on NBC and...

=WOW= It was all ~~GREAT~~ news for Democrats!!!!

I'm sure everyone on the east coast saw the same news we're just now getting here (we're 4 hours earlier)..

Russert went down the Wall Street Journal polls and :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: Democrats were ((( ROCKING ))) straight down the list!

He ended it by saying that ..."if the 2006 elections were held today, Democrats would win by a wide margin"

I'm sure this was on here 4 hours ago.. but hey.. I'm in Alaska and the national news just came on.. :)

4. Thanks for the update!

:toast: He's also hawking his book, but admitting there are problems with the media.

[flordehinojos]

5. when his book first came out (was it last year?) he went on every talkshow

imaginable to sell his book. He was on some show with Tom Brokaw and the two of them talked away about each of their books, and each of their dads. He was on the Imus show and he talked up a streak about his book. I think he was on LK talking about his show ... you name it his face and his book were on every talking show possible. So, why is he hawking his book again, a second time around? Could it be he is not making record sales on his book?

I had him and LK on mute for a little while--but decided whatever little russ had to say was inconsequential, so i changed channels.

12. hahahaha....

First he sells us out, and now his book! :rofl:

[kevinmc]

9. He is the Media.......

I'm glad I don't have cable, couldn't afford the TV's that would have been destroyed.

6. Democrats need to GOTV in 2006

Few registered voters actually bother to vote during the midterm elections, so Democrats have a real opportunity in 2006 to pick up seats.

I'll be there.

[Mark Williams]

7. Yeah

I just recorded it just in case anything interesting came up. I'm guessing that it was mostly about his father. Was their anything interesting that I should take a look at?

[babylonsister]

8. Yes, he's fairly critical from what

little I saw, of the media and politics. It's broke and needs to be fixed. There's fluff there for sure as he's hawking his new book (not out yet?), but it's not all about his dad. So watch it and give us some feedback.
And Welcome To DU!

10. Tim Russert - critical of the media?

that's like Cher condemning outrageous outfits.

[babylonsister]

11. That's precisely why it was worth noting. nt

[FrenchieCat]

13. Basically you're saying that he's talking out of both sides

of his mouth, again. I thought...only on Sundays.

[babylonsister]

14. Okay, I'm a sucker. I try to be

optimistic and always get shot down. But I won't stop trying.

[faithnotgreed]

16. good for you babylon.... keep fighting that good fight. were with you

[cestpaspossible]

15. And just as credible
