Cable TV Primary Colors

The former "Anonymous" Joe Klein files "Lou Demagogue" under his real name: "Why the network [CNN] allows Lou Dobbs to continue spewing false, inflammatory nonsense under the guise of objective journalism."

Joe blows on: Now, I know that Dobbs brings in some serious ratings. And he is certainly entitled to his own opinion. But he is not entitled to his own facts--especially not on a network that makes a real effort to separate truth from falsehood and represent all sides of the political debate. Shouldn't someone be editing this swill? Doesn't CNN have a responsibility to tell its viewers that, in this case, one of their presenters is engaged in flat-out anti-immigrant fearmongering? Perhaps the network could employ a simple superimposed title--THIS IS NOT TRUE...or LOU HAS JUMPED THE SHARK ON THIS ONE--whenever Dobbs pretends that there is such a thing as the NAFTA Superhighway. This sort of thing diminishes the credibility and hard work of the other journalists on the network. (And no, I do not count the execrable Glenn Beck as a journalist.)

Joe, give it up. Cable Tee Vee networks have ALL jumped the shark on credibility. I detest Lou "Ted Baxter" Dobbs. But the train left the station in 1998, Joe. No point spinning your wheels...

Over at MSNBC the above ugly ass photo of "American Psycho" Hillary Clinton revealing every crater and ditch in a new "Hardball" promo PROVES Chris Matthews is a Hillary-hating sexist dickhead. NewsBusters Hillary has no "right" to the number two spot on Obama's ticket. MSNBC continues "jump the shark" fanning the sexist flames...
