You mention a very important point. Although the viewership on the talking head shows isn't stellar, choice clips from those shows are shown on the major news networks all week. It takes one numbskull making an inappropriate comment, to suck up all the air time good comments should be getting all week. Even if the good comments didn't show up on the news programs, at least we wouldn't be contributing to burying ourselves all week.
Great point...just think, out of 6 hours or debating on that Friday of the House vote on withdrawing from Iraq...
about the ONLY clip that was shown repeatedly, was Jean Schmitt being shouted down for supposedly calling Murtha a coward...which is ironic...because if you listen to the actual clip..instead of the newsreader's TAKE on the clip...
you would hear Schmitt NOT call Murtha a coward...just those that would cut and run.
If the shoe fits, Murtha...
