The Sunday "news" show wonder why their ratings are so bad?

fake examination of the issues. Maybe we could get to the truth if real reporters earned about $30 per hour.

The average pay for a journalist is between $25,000 and $30,000. That's why so many good reporters leave the profession. When they have children, they have to take their communications degrees and go into something that pays - like PR or marketing.

i used to watch them every Sunday. Then they turned right and started stupid repug talking points for their entire shows with an occasional Democrat token. I stopped watching and have stuck to it.

Haven't been able to watch them for a long. Just have no interest, none at all.

I used to be a Sunday talk show junkie. Now I can't stand to watch.

what does a a former speech writer know about taxes and medicare? Why in the world is she treated as if she has anything to add to the national conversation on anything other than writing speeches?

that is the only necessary qualification

obviously either drunk on her ass or so hungover she was seriously nasty on several shows, altho I only so saw her on Morning Joe. I think MJ told her she had to sober up before she could be invited back on. I hope she gets help for her obvious drinking problem...

Since Tim Russert died I quit watching. Even tho he was a Repuke I admired his professionalism.

incident at some reception when Russert approached W, giggled, and turned over his lapel to show a "W" campaign button on the underside.

He was persuaded by the big bucks to go right.

Do you have any specific links?

Yeah, I used to watch them..

Then I got the internet and learned just how full of shit they really are, even worse than I suspected..

I watched Meet the Press for decades, but can't handle it since David Gregory became the moderator. I can't even tune in for the segments which feature Democrats like my Governor, O'Malley, who I truly admire, that is how much distance I feel I have to keep between Gregory and me. I would have thought he would have been replaced by now, but he must have friends in high places.

But the long and the short of it is, I don't watch any of them and that used to be a regular routine for me.

Boring and predictable garbage.

the fact that Romney paid only 13% in taxes or LESS. They could have wasted Grover Norquist in one swift blow by bringing up Romney's taxes. Someone was asleep at the wheel!
