These cable TV personalities (like Dylan Ratigan) are SO uninformed!

[Zen Democrat]

I catch these people in misinformation, or simple lack of knowledge, every single day. And I'm sick of it. To think there are people who rely on what they hear from these bozos, well it boggles the mind.

Just this morning Ratigan was hyping the appearance of Ron Paul on the "Morning Meeting" show on MSNBC, and I heard him refer to the representative from Texas as SENATOR Paul, not once but six or seven times. Senator Paul this and Senator Paul that. If these cats don't know the basics, why are they on my TV??????

1. I swear he's the dumbest of the dumb.

They get on tv cause... I dunno... maybe someone somewhere has a stake in a good percentage of the electorate also being dumb.

I don't know why anyone watches any of those shows. Well, unless it's for the comedy value.

3. It's NOT accidental..or ignorance.. It's M O N E Y

networks stand to lose a PILE of money, if real health-care reform happens. The make a LOT of money from ads, and their parent company probably has many tentacles that wrap around the same companies..all one big happy, incestuous "family", all pushing the same pile of money around to the members of the family..

The LAST thing they want is to cut that umbilical cord of corporate loot that feeds them all..

4. I don't watch M$NBC until David and Tamron come on. Until then...
