Will Against The Liberal World on 'This Week'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/30/2008 12:15:26 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Have a look at the screencap from today's This Week, then please answer this serious question: has ABC no shame? How does the network justify a round-table consisting of four liberals against one conservative?

Let's review the batting order:

* Frank Reich: Clinton's former Labor Secretary comes from the leftward reaches of the Dem party. He's a co-founder of the liberal American Prospect magazine. * Paul Krugman: Like Reich, a very liberal professor of economics, and a NYT columnist. * Donna Brazile: Dem activist, Gore 2000 campaign manager. * George Stephanopoulos: The show host was a senior political adviser to Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and later became Clinton's communications director. * George Will: conservative columnist and [since we're talking batter order and this is Opening Day after all] baseball aficionado.

In the introduction to the roundtable, Stephy labeled Reich and Krugman "our dueling economists."

Ha!   Duelling on what?  Who's more Marxist than the other??

Krugman has been calling for a recession for seven years now,

LOL! Krugman, the former ENRON adviser (as James Taranto incessantly points out)? By all means, listen to him! ;-)

Watching that little weasel Krugman licking his chops over the economic crisis was a disgusting show of how liberals are hoping for another depression.

Now now Stephanopoulos is a “journalist” and hence impartial and above reproach. /sarc

This assumes Will is a consrvative and not just someone in love with the elegance of his own prose as he tries to emulate, unsuccessfully, William F Buckley.

Your understanding is spot-on. Congress forced lenders to lower credit qualifications so normally unqualified borrowers could get money combined with the easy money policies put in place after the tech wreck led to this mess. My financial manager also puts it squarely on Congress’ doorstep. And now the damn Congresscritters are poised to make a bad situation even worse. And worst of all, they are going to take the money from us to pay off people who had never were qualified to borrow money in the first place.

4:1 might be a new record for lopsidedness.

Nope, I've seen it numerous times. The lopsidedness tends to be worse when Dems hold the Presidency and I think they're jumping the gun a little in gleeful anticipation.

ABC has no shame and the mere fact that Stephie, who I read is an adviser to the Clinton campaign, has not recused himself is proof positive.

Oh come on, George was lite on them. It was almost fair. Whatta ya want, another liberal to make it perfectly even? The idiocies spewed by Bazille alone set the liberal side into the red, and Steponallofus can’t dig her out of her liberal hell any more than Reich can (with a step ladeer he might be able to see her mouth). Which reminds me, do the directors give him two DC phone books to sit on so he’ll be eye to eye with little Steffie (he gets one phone book, that’s why his chair is turned the way it is, to hide the book)?

I don’t care because I don’t watch the show. Just do what most Americans do and turn the channel. Hopefully they will just dry up and blow away.
