This video shows you everything you need to know about the Sunday news shows: unbalanced spin. That's all it is. Don't believe me? Then ask yourself why the two guests booked for Meet the Press are two Republican governors. The media form of balance? One (Florida's Charlie Crist) supports the Stimulus Bill and the other (Louisiana's Bobby Jindal) does not. Hoo-boy! I bet we'll have lots of unvarnished facts coming out of that show. It's definitely governor week on the talk shows, with no less than twelve governors out to give their spin on this national crisis. And on This Week, the Governator of Cully-forn-ya will be on, touting his "success" at balancing the budget. Of course, all those state employees on unpaid furloughs he drives by in one of his eight Humvees might not find it that successful.
