Turn Tweety off!!!

i finally saw the light yesterday - this is Day One of no-Tweety-anymore.

I get it - he is the penultimate whore - GE says jump, Tweety cashes the check.

I like it much better this way.

3. You turned off too soon

I was getting ready to hit the switch when tweets turned the tables on the POWs. A real gotcha moment. He got another POW on the phone who completely ridiculed these guys and he was in the same camp. He never heard of John Kerry and all their stuff is bunk, etc. I about fell over. Tweety never ceases to surprise.

9. People just don't get it
Matthews loves controversy. He wants drama and conflict. Maybe he had someone on who contradicted the anti-Kerry POW. But why did he have the first nut on in the first place? Is Matthews interviewing anyone on the Bush AWOL story? Is he even bringing the controversy into the living rooms of America tonight? No. Yet he's making everyone aware of a controversy over whether what Kerry said affected POWs in Vietnam. He put on another show, with the pro and the con. But what matters is that he gave the very issue credibility, whereas it shouldn't have had any at all.

10. Sensationalism vs. Credibility -- Matthews presents the type of media that
is the problem.

An educated electorate is Rove's worst nightmare.
Media Wonks like Matthews make sure that Rove has nothing to worry about.

4. And let me add, if I may,
that if you must watch this crap and boost some fool's ratings, don't bring it here.

It reminds me of when I lived in the city and had to watch out for dog poop everywhere.

I am sick and tired of dog poop!

8. Wasn't it though?

Reading DU, having a little dinner, listening to AAR in the background.

Much, much better than my "former" life. :)
