Al Hunt: 'I Have No Idea What Bob Schieffer's Politics Are'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/01/2015 5:31:33 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Is Al Hunt the most oblivious man in Washington, or was he just not telling the truth? On today's Morning Joe, lauding Bob Schieffer upon his retirement, Hunt actually said "I have no idea what Bob Schieffer's politics are."

No idea? Really? Maybe Al hasn't been watching Scheiffer, but NewsBusters and its parent MRC have. Take a look at this link for a compilation of Bob's greatest hits on Republicans and his gushing praise of Democrats. Then come back and see us, Al, and let us know whether you now have an idea of Schieffer's politics.

View the video here.

Oblivious boob or just not telling the truth? Al Hunt claims he has no idea of Bob Schieffer’s politics.

Ping to Today show list.

Schieffer’s been covering for Donks his entire career.

How can Hunt be cognizant of Bob’s bias when his own head is stuck up his a$$ so far?

Good example how political correctness is self delusion.

The Associated Press unifies all journalists into a mutual admiration society. The only arguing that they do is just who respects the objectivity of the other the most.

IOW, none of them are objective - and we were fools who ever thought that they were even trying be objective.

I had every idea that liberals like Al lie.

Alas, Al must have been either,on the moon or has a medical condition affecting his brain if he doesn’t know Bob’s politics.

An interesting thing about these people is when you poll them, about 90% of them self-classify as “moderates”. Their voting records (when revealed) and “personal opinions” on various issues indicate that roughly 90% of today’s media are extremely liberal.

Lack of self-awareness is a really dangerous thing...

I'm not seeing this compilation of which you speak?

He does have a medical condition. It's call Liberalitis and it forces people to lie, even when they know the truth.

It appears to be more of a brief list.

Rumor has it that as a young man Al Hunt changed his name from the original Mike.

They lie so often that reality is not longer part of their life.

How do Texans like Rather and Schieffer ever make it to national prominence? Would that happen today? Are they really Texan?
