"I don’t see a petition to have him fired yet."

Why fire him? GOP Senate Majority "leader" Mitch McConnell gleefully agreed to appear on his show this weekend giving validation to hyper partisan liberal media.

One huge reason that Stephanopoulos has a moderator gig on ABC is because the GOP validated it. Washington GOP'rs are in on the game it seems.

When I was editing a small newspaper in the Philadelphia suburbs, one of my reporters asked for a meeting with me, which was in itself unusual — my standing policy for reporters was that after hiring them I did not care if I ever saw them again, so long as their stories showed up on time.

This tells me right away that this guy wasn't much of an editor. I've been a managing editor and it was my job not only to know my reporters but also their beats. That doesn't mean you ask personal questions, but it does mean you communicate and give guidance where necessary. It turns out he had an honest reporter working for him and he found out by accident.

"There needs to be a seminar for Republican candidates on how not to answer stupid questions to play politics against the democRATS."

When it comes to politics, the GOP and their followers are the most stupid, ignorant bunch to ever have more than two brain cells tied together. I'm ashamed at the lack of political savvy that the GOP has. The GOP only have a majority because the democRATs have proven their flawed policies on their own.

If a child sits on an ant pile and gets bitten, they learn quickly not to ever do it again. Why is this different in politics? GOP candidates, Sunday after Sunday gleefully appear on these low rated shows hosted by hyper partisan marxists, only to get burned with questions like "when did you stop beating your wife", then complain when the host is outed as a democrat operative? The GOP validates and feeds the liberal media

STOP APPEARING ON THEIR SHOWS/NETWORKS!

What? Rand Paul did it first when asked the question, do you support no abortions after 20 weeks, or something even more sinister in the question.

He answered. "I will answer the questions when you ask Debbie blabbermouth if she thinks aborting an 8 pound baby at 39 weeks is OK with her?

Also Bush, could have answered knowing what I know now, that Iraq was the success story that Joe Biden was claiming in 2009, but now it has totally collapsed and is being used as a Caliphate, due to the withdrawal done by the current POTUS. Now with that in mind, the total withdraw of all our troops and the CURRENT administration not mindful of its total collapse, doing nothing about it, no I would not have invaded Iraq.

even Greta... she’s good at catching lies.

...but sadly, she contributed to the Clintons too.

He shouldn’t have been there in the first place. And neither should Tim Russert have been on MTP, even though foolish conservative hosts say he was even-handed. Far from it. He would put the conservative on first every time and then put the liberal on to dispute everything the conservative said, and no one could dispute the liberal because he/she was the last one on. He had other ways of getting his point of view across that the conservative was off the wall while the lib was OK.

This guy seems like an ethical sort but I reject his premise.

George Steps on all of us should never have been hired as, or referred to, as a "journalist." Nor Tim Ruskert. Note, AFAIK no one calls Chris Motormouth a "journalist."

And "journalist" occupies a lower rung on the evolutionary ladder than "reporter."

A simple test...would Karl Rove ever be hired as a "journalist?"

Can “Kerry Smith” be reached for comment, I wonder?

Reality does not match the narrative in their little brains, quaint notions about media and democracy. Crazy or stupid? Who knows?
