This chick TV writer is a dolt!

Here Stanley seems to be claiming that Thompson is some sort of traitor to the flailing TV show by leaving it at a time when the producers might need him and that this move might make people doubt his character.

Think about it: McLean Stevenson never became President either.

There are those out there that thought Geena Davis was President during that TV show about a year or so ago.

Arthur has a weakness for the young, tall, gorgeous prosecutors in his office and for mentoring them through their cases.

i've never even noticed this about Arthur Branch... this sounds much more like Jack McCoy... this entire piece of writing is bizarre!

A former boss of mine worked for “Governor” Reagan. He loved “Ronnie” and always said “with Reagan, what you saw was what you got.” President Reagan was a genuinely nice man and a patriot. Reagan dearly loved this country. No matter what picture Liberals tried to paint of Reagan, which included ridiculing him as having been an actor, Reagan loved our country and our military. I don’t doubt that Thompson is also legitimate. The MSM is always in attack mode when it comes to conservatives. Liberal hatred for conservatives is only matched by our scorn for them.

Excellent analysis. This is what we want the MSM to print. They will try everything to get Hillary into the WH. These types of attacks will further distance them from the rest of the country and allow FT to win.

Bill O’Reilly has a long history with Mz. Stanley. Here are examples:

Well, Frank Church was a lousy theater critic, so the NY Times made him a political columnist instead. Maybe they can do the same with Alessandra Stanley, likewise a lousy, biased critic.

Even the Times seems to realize that Church is, as someone once called him, an “attack poodle.” They only roll him out of the closet rarely now. So, now they want two attack poodles? Another step down into the sewer for Pinch.

I just read another one analyzing “Arthur Branch’s” chances. And they really used the record of Arthur Branch!! I decided it was just too stupid to post on FR.

This TV writer is a dolt!

Well, this is the paper that gave the world Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd.

Show biz and pop culture are the cultural context for the Times.

It's funny to find them complaining about the fusion of politics and show business when you can see the same thing on their op-ed page.

[socialismisinsidious]

This is pretty funny coming from the left. You know the same people who put some two bit actor on a train with a presidential candidate and sent them cross country (he really should have been given a script) to talk to America.

The same people who gave political voice to idiot, hollyweird types who say "if you think that rape should be legal, then don’t vote." and "get out the vote or die".

These same people hold the likes of Streisand, Dreyfus, O'Donnell, Fonda and many other socialist sickos up to be political geniuses precisely b/c they are on t.v.

So which side doesn't understand fiction from nonfiction?

[Atlas Sneezed]

Query:

If “journalists” think that actors are unqualified for office, why do they spend so much energy reporting about the political views of actors?

(Oh, never mind. It’s because they think actors are wise when they are liberal, and unqualified when they are conservative.)
