This may be too English, but how about:

Nattering Nancy

To "natter" means to "talk profusely".

Regards, Ivan

It is not possible to be "too English," and anyone who says otherwise is a Stoke-on-Trent wanker who lives in the loo. And me Trouble-and-Strife agrees with me on that lot. Cheers....

As in: "Nattering Nabobs of Negativity"?

My memory fails me on this, but I think that was an Agnewism, intended to describe the US media.

No matter the original author, it is an apt description of the press today, also and certainly applies to Peeloseri.
