Rachel could not only fix MTP, she could make it an actual informative news program once again. Sure, it would take a lot of work, but she could definately do it if given the opportunity. She wouldn't kiss ass like David does so I doubt it will ever happen.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

Rachel = Cronkite

Gregory = Beck

That's an accurate comparison between the two of them, if we're talking about their ability to run MTP with integrity...

Lets not forget...there's that audio out there of Gregory basically telling a republican senator 'if you come on my show, you can frame it anyway you want to'...

Who wants to bet David never said that any Democratic rep.... BFD, he called out Bush a couple of times in press conferences...so did Helen Thomas, ITS THERE JOB>>>>>

CNN's 'Beck alternative' (he's here all week, tip your waitresses & waiters): Lou Dobbs Describes Meatless Mondays In Schools As "A Political Storm In The Making"
- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/20/lou-...
On Monday night, Lou Dobbs did a segment on how "Meatless Monday" is being adopted by the Baltimore city school district in an effort to cut costs and get children to eat healthier food. The segment showed schoolchildren eating vegetarian chili and grilled cheese sandwiches, and CNN reported that they found no parents who objected to the policy.
Here's an idea...all those of you who think 'vegetarians' are crazy....watch the films: Food Inc, Processed people, & Fast Food Nation....and then tell us 'we're crazy'.....

"The Obama administration is cracking down on BP as the oil company overhauls its massive refinery in northwest Indiana." This has been a week to applaud the White House for positive statements and cracking down on Wall Street, calling out FOX's political agenda, environmental crackdowns, etc. BuzzFlash has been critical at times of Obama's presidency, but overall this was a very promising week.

I've been following HCwDB's since it was first mentioned in the Blog Roundup last year.

Since then, it was mentioned on national TV, and even declared the McCain/Palin ticket honorary "Hot Chick with Douchbag".

Now it has a TV show on MTV. And to think it all started here on C&L. :)

I can't stand Gregory and have not watched Meet the Press since. He is a complete milk-toast and never calls out his Reslug buddies on all their habitual lies and fabrications. I do enjoy watching Rachel right where she is. I like watching a true journalist, something Gregory will never be.

she does not own a television set. . . oh the irony

A license to play the radio within earshot of other people?

A performance license to sign songs at work, or else there is a fine?

This is England, but it should be coming to America real soon with the new International Copyright Treaty.
