Lizz Winstead on the media at the Media Reform Conference. She was talking about all the pundits who keep asking why Obama stayed at Rev Wright's church for 20 years. She asked if there wasn't at least one reporter who could go to Chicago and find the answer to this question. We (the viewers) are supposed to ask the questions and the pundits should have the answers.

It's been a great conference. Billy Moyers was wonderful this morning. You can watch him here:http://www.freepress.net/conference

1. Who is Winstead? (for those who may not know)

Lizz Winstead is one of the creators and executive producers for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the warm-up show for the Greatest News Program Ever!

3. Sat next to her at a session this morning and we had a nice chat

She really is very funny.

Another neat thing is Rev Yearwood this morning went OFF on Fox News. He was on a panel and they were talking about media bias and Rev Yearwood stood up and pointed at a camera and said "Yes, I mean YOU lurking over there in the corner! Fox News!!" And sure enough, over in that corner was a Fox News camera, filming the session. And everyone in the audience stood up and started cheering. And some stood up and held up middle fingers at the camera. Definitely one of the highlights of the day.

2. So damn true! If you remove speculation, gossip, and brain farts from the 24 hour

enternewsment channels, you get an entire 15 minutes of programming--think about that, it's little exaggeration.

4. Oh you are correct

[WWolf]

5. Bill Maher sucks.

Hes nothing but a more conservative version of Dennis Miller, except he wasn't good enough to get on HBO and had to settle for (shudder) basic cable.

6. ???

[kentuck]

14. Well, that's a very auspicious start...

There are some folks here that like Bill Maher very much. Did you intend to piss them off with your first posts?

[WWolf]

7. Ohhhhh, Billy Moyers!

(Puts on dunce cap)

for what its worth, its still true though

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Moyers is a conservative version of Maher

:wtf:

No way, Dude.

[treestar]

10. Who gives a *&&&& where he went to church for the past 20 years?

Like that was of the LEAST interest for the last 300 presidential candidates?

Racist fucks.
