    Thanks again Glen

    for shedding light and leading us to or reminding us (those who already read the article), on the issue of a lack of journalists.

    NBC and MSNBC have long been jokes.

    Brian Williams lost any respect I might have had when he mentioned how much he respected hate monger Rush. What the hell is wrong with people. Matthews gives voice to people like Coulter and Ingram. Maddow happily gives Buchannan a regular spot. And slugs like Tom Delay are treated with respect on the MSNBC set.

    Yet these men and women practically seethe with hate even mentioning the name Clinton. What the hell?

    When I saw David Gregory dancing with Karl Rove in the schtick news gathering, I wondered: WHY do these people not get it? Socializing with, fraternizing with, being friendly with the politicians is NOT a good thing. We need watchdogs for democracy .....not lapdogs.
