Nora O'Donnell on Hardball- It's watchable for once

[redstateblues]

e-mail them and tell em she's a better sub than Andrea the Wicked Witch of the north. Maybe she'll get her own show. I've grown to hate Matthews- how did I like him way back when?

[babylonsister]

1. I strongly disagree. She's fair tonight, but her

eyes light up when she mentions dimson's name. She's a partisan repug imo, and has proved it time and again.
Maybe she's heard previous criticisms and is toning it down.

[MidnightWind]

7. Not only do her eyes light up when she says Bush's name

she does this little "smile" thing. She's a whore for BushCo for sure. I'm surprised she hasn't gone to work for Fox yet.

[FreedomAngel82]

9. Maybe she's trying out

Maybe MSNBC is the try out place for Fox. Blech.

[Supersedeas]

18. Yes, I have to agree--Norah is a Bushist shill

[rqstnnlitnmnt]

2. what's to like about him

Media Matters -- Chris Matthews: 2005's Misinformer of the Year

3. Nora is one of the biggest Bush media whores around

but even she has to do an occassional fair show once in a while.

[AtomicKitten]

4. yeah, she's a Tweety clone

Although I loved the first segment. She proffered all the GOP talking points which were summarily bitchslapped down. Sweet.

[Atman]

5. I thought tonight's show needed a laughtrack

I can't believe some of the shit coming out of the mouths of Nora and the war whores! That show was un-frickin'-believable! They should be banned from using the name "Hardball." It is false advertising.

6. Blueball?

Redball?

What would be fitting?

[Lin]

8. Low-ball NO-ball ;) (eom)

[ladjf]

13. Yet, the two guest did a good job of presenting the case

against Bush. Nora interrupted and argued and wound up looking like a partisan idiot. On balance, the good guys won the show.

10. They were trotting out one of the most disgusting lines I keep hearing

One of her two talking heads, not the WSJ guy but the other guy said, (paraphrase) "Most Americans care about Bush keeping us safe and it's just a few "intellectuals" that care about civil liberties"?!!

I guess only pointy headed intellectuals care about civil liberties. Nora cited some poll that seemed to say 31 % of Americans thought it was ok for Bush to do whatever he needed to and 69% of us had a problem with it. Here is that same 30% figure that comes up over and over and over.30% of this country is Bush's hardcore base. 30% of the American public is invincibly ignorant, gullible, complacent, complicit, bovine, naive, I can't really pick a really defining adjective. Good news and bad news. 3 tightly organized pitbulls win over 6 unherdable housecats everytime.

[Evergreen Emerald]

16. Seriously, do they get the talking points faxed to them?

Because, Katie Couric used that same line the day after the story broke.

[Supersedeas]

19. some 30% means most Americans in Norah and WSJ speak

[tishaLA]

11. I want Gregory back

even if he did like Wedding Crashers more than a regular person should.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

12. Me too. I wish he would replace Mathews permanently nt.

[Neil Lisst]

14. I agree. Mitchell and Matthews have lost their way.

They've been there so long, and they're so desperate to stay on the TV, that they have no morals. They don't believe in anything. They'll do or say whatever seems to fit for that moment, without regard to truth.

Mitchell and Tweety have gotten so they cannot have a hard hitting interview with any Bush spokesperson. They're too busy kissing ass.

Boot both them.

The NBC team should be David Gregory, David Schuster, and Nora O'Donnell.

[Slit Skirt]

15. I couldn't stand hardball today

NOra just keeps repeating the bushco lines over and over

guy from SLATE referred to Bush spying...."so what if he bends the rules"


uh..excuse me...asshole that was breaking the law...not bending the rules....

that kind of twisting of semantics is what they want the public to hear to confuse them and marginalize the issue...

[tsuki]

17. Watchable? What are you talking about?

Tweety's an award-winning journalist. He won the Media Matters Mis-Informer of the Year!:evilgrin:
