Reply #15: Beltway Circle Jerks... [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

Much of the problem are in the producers...the people who arrange the panels as much as it is Gregory. These are beltway types who live in the bubbleworld of "conventional wisdom". They've created their own "stars" and this dictates a lot of what one sees on all the Sunday shows (or if one choses to watch, which I don't). McCain has always been a darling within the beltway media types...the "maverick" no matter how badly he got his ass handed to him in 2008. Doesn't matter to them, they think he and the others on their "A" list (Lieberman, Boner, Cheney) are "ratings" winners. Remember, the bottom line to these networks is $$$$ and the fact so many here tune in and bitch proves how well their "conventional wisdom" works. Sunday morning shows used to be informational, that ended in the 90s. Now it's a lot of verbal diahrea.
