The death of the Sunday shows (partisan hacks chatting up sycophants or interrogating conservatives)

These shows are a wasteland. The Dems now use entertainment and comedy shows to reach their LIVs. Conservatives are mostly turning to the Internet.

To try and spice-up his lousy ratings, David Gregory is adding an animal segment to Meet the Press. Tune in this Sunday to Meet the Elephants.

DAVID BROOKS: And, let’s face it, Obama, whether deservedly or not, does have a — I’ll say it crudely — but a manhood problem in the Middle East: Is he tough enough to stand up to somebody like Assad, somebody like Putin? I think a lot of the rap is unfair. But certainly in the Middle East, there’s an assumption he’s not tough.

Was that off the wall coming from a liberal MSM or Face the Nation lapdog rino?

I never watch them, can’t bear it, if anything interesting happens it will show up here on FR, and that doesn’t happen as often as I would expect, their just empty suits and chairs as far as I’m concerned.

None too soon. One less propaganda outlet for the left.

In two or three minutes on the Internet you can scan the news and decide what to focus on, rather than sit down for an hour and see what the MSM think is important. And on FR, NRO, Breitbart, Media Watch, you can see the stories that the MSM ignore.

Correction: I did not mean Media Watch, I meant Newsbusters.

Not just ignore, they'll go all in lying for the democrat party. Agreed, it's much easier to get the news and opinion online. I just hope the lame stream media continues to double-down on what is good for progressives and the democrat party so all Americans continue to see just how corrupt they, along with their criminal party, have become.

I gave up on the Sunday shows a long time ago. Around the mid-1990s. Just couldn’t stomach the 100% liberal idiocy. By the early-2000s, I’d completely tuned out on all the non-Fox cable-news channels. Around 2010, I gave up on FoxNews, when it became the Rove/Romney network.

Now I don’t really watch much of anything anymore. Rarely even listen to talk-radio, and beyond FR, I don’t even bother much with other internet sites. Funny, because I used to be such a news/politics junkie, for several decades, going back to the Reagan era. But 2010-2012 really killed all that. The combination of the the GOP-E pushing Romney along with its backstabbing of Palin and the tea-party just killed my decades-long interests in news and politics, along with the media that serves it up.

i’d watch a show called “beat the press”.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I watch “Meet the Depressed” just to see if Gregory will explode.

[Amagi]

The very last Sunday morning show I watched was See-BS' "Face the Nation" where Ollie North was being viciously savaged with lies by Bob "The Stiff" Schieffer.
It made my blood boil.
At the end of his performance Schieffer offered his hand, but to Ollie's credit Schieffer got snubbed.

We are a nation which, in large degree, cannot really think about politics.

Politics is now sport. It's all about one team winning and the other team losing. Politics is no longer about what is best for the country, if it ever was.

Audiences have left TV news because they can go online and participate in the sport. Browse a few comments on articles on Politico. Just high def stupidity..
