Admit it: You think he's a stupid "TV Doc" with no real credentials.

[Writer]

C'mon now - this follows suit with the common belief that "the people" who "read news" on TV don't have brains. You think they're all uneducated pinheads who only sit around all day, read the wires, then go out for hi-balls at night.

I mean, would you all STOP watching Fox News???


BAH-duh CRASH!

1. I think the fact that ALL of the media is saying....

..... that this was a good pick shows that ... ahem ... WE might just be wrong on this one. ;-)

I realize they're talking about one of their own, but when do those guys ever agree on anything?

5. They agree on something when they have an agenda (like the Iraq War). You suddenly trust the MSM?

[Raven]

2. I don't really care about his creds, all I want to know is:

will he wear the uniform? I love men in uniform!

[Buzz Clik]

3. Gupta is a real doctor with real credentials who compromised his credibility on television.

It comes with the territory: when you have to answer to producers and audience share, comments and opinions can be extended for all the wrong reasons.

If you want professional credibility, stay off the tube.

6. DING DING DING! We Have A WINNER.

4. Clinton made him a White House Fellow in the 90s.

7. Is any Surgeon General does something important I will be amazed.

He never really bothered me all these years on CNN. Anderson Cooper on the other hand, he is always posing, like he thinks he is a male model. I watched him last night and it cracked me up.

8. My only question is -

What is his stance on Universal Single-Payer Health Care?

As far as i can tell, he's a corporate shill.

14. Universal Single-Payer Health Care makes him shit nails n/t

9. Sorry, most of them don't

They have access to all the news in the world in a way none of us has - and yet they just spout press releases and talking points and rarely go off the script. It doesn't take any brains to do that.

[Lilith Velkor]

10. Yup.

[Naturyl]

11. No, I think he's a well-qualified doctor.

But I don't want him anywhere near government because he opposes the kind of health care change we need.

[unapatriciated]

12. yes - he's a real dr. - he's also a...

real bad choice

[truebrit71]

13. CNN enabling tool more like, right? RIGHT?

He went after Micheal Moore and got it 100% wrong...

I personally think the guy is a smarmy confidence man, but hey, that's just me...
