Calling all FReeper Sunday Show reporters!!!
As I said last week:
“We need more reporting on the shows themselves; what’s being said, the non-verbals (sighs, facial expressions, tones, etc) and how the guests are responding.
Some folks used to do some really good transcripts of the shows as they occurred. That was prime reportage. Our discussing Tim Russert’s hunched-over, paper-clutching grilling of Republicans was good, too. Sadly, not too many of the driveby interviewers are as readable as was Russert’s body language.
And another thing we kept our eye on that gets covered no where else is how much time the guests get.
For example, say Face the Nation has on Chuck U. Shumer and, well, any Republican, at the same time. We know Chuck is going to hog the microphone and Bob “Purple-faced Rage” Schieffer is going to let him. The Republican is lucky to get in one word. Our reportage is always on top of that.”
So, please help out! Brave enough (or strong of stomach enough) to watch? Please post what you see/hear!!!!
Condi Rice is giving a fantastic interview to Chris Wallace. Definitely worth viewing for anyone who has to catch the show on tonight’s Fox rerun.
I'm going to have to get back into this slowly. I cannot watch Barky Obama fawned over on MTP. Not good for my health.
But I will be able to watch Jeff Sessions. It's kind of like a 12 step program :)
*sigh*
You're a tough taskmaster, Alas Babylon!
I gave up watching these Sunday Morning DNC Commercials, er, news shows years ago and am not about to start again. It is too destructive of my peace of mind.
Nevertheless (now that I've whined in protest about it), you're right. We need more breathless on-the-scene reporting of these premier, execrable, revolting, Sunday morning propaganda organs, er, events.
Watching these things is a cross between watching Liberals in therapy and watching them mentally copulate. It's sickening on all levels.
I hope there are brave souls out there with more stomach than I can muster for this task. I know others as well as myself appreciate the herculean effort required.
My hat's off to you, Phsstpok, maica, and all the others that somehow manage to do it!
Think Chicago, think SNL, think "Chuck- from the south side of Chicago- Swarski's love affair with Mike Ditka..think
DA BEARSSSSS
It's the same! Don't know who got if from whom, but I finally put the two together last week after two years of puzzling the phenomena
Encouraging news is that Obama will anger his lefty base even more with the appointment to the dept. of Education. He indicates the "Clinton cabinet" has got 'em on fire, but D of E appointee will put 'em over the edge.
Since I've been worrying about the likes of a guy in the mold of Wm. Ayers in that post, this could be good news.
At one time, FReeper Peach was excellent at doing this.
