Any DUers work for CNN/NBC/MSNBC or (G-d forbid) FUX? Post 'dish' here:
...if you are brave enough to admit it, that is!

I wouldn't hold you personally responsible for the misconduct of your corporate bosses. This is one of those frivolous, gossipy-type threads... just wondering if you could share any behind-the-scenes anecdotes or insider dish about those talking heads, their bosses, their politics, their REAL opinions of B*shco. OR... if you don't work in the media, but know someone who DOES... why not spill a juicy tale right here?

I've got one (sort of). I don't work in media... but in the spring of 2000, I used to take a car service once a week for my job, and used to chat with the regular driver. A Pakistani immigrant, he worked as an engineer in his country but was unable to find comparable work here, he was intelligent, a family-man, very chatty and curious about the state of affairs in America. I asked him what he thought about (candidate) B*sh, and he said he didn't really know much about him BUT the journalists/broadcasters/"important people" from CNN that he drove used to talk "all the time" about how "stupid" B*sh was, how "all of them" said he was an idiot. I doubt he could have told me their names, but one wonders who these "important people" were. I got the idea back then that they were anchors or on-air personalities, and had met B*sh.

Any more?
