After Tom Delay was indicted he could have had his pick of any show to be on in the mSM, and the reason would be to beat him up verbally from pillar to Post and to throw insults about the president in with the onslaught. The MSM invites their Guests on not vice versa. Do you think that Trent Lott would be on any of those shows if he did not have a huge vendetta against President Bush, and look like a bloody fool half the time? Lott has his agenda and the MSM have theirs and that is why he is on, they use the guy, and he foolishly thinks they are helping him. This is the type of Guy that gets invited on the MSM shows. I would love to see Dick Cheney,John Cornyn, Delay, Etc on more often, but they do not run the MSM. Unless there is some controversy you will not see these people on because the MSM knows that if they start asking the inappropriate questions not pertaining to the reason that they are there that the Pubbies or White House Representative will call them on it. Sometimes the Pubbies will not get beaten up because they force them to stick to the subject matter, but you cannot guarantee this will be the case.
Not only do these shows pick who THEY want on...they PAY the Senators and House members to fly in for the interview, if they are back home...or elsewhere...which I find offensive.
