VIDEO: Rock Center: Inside the world of opposition research
In case you missed it, MSNBC's Willie Geist takes a look at inside the world of opposition research Wednesday night on Rock Center with NBC's Brian Williams
Whoever unearthed the story of Seamus on the car roof deserves a special prize in oppo research. David Letterman has NOT let it go. I enjoy the contrast of President Obama with Bo and Romney with Seamus.
Jeepers--Rock Center's ratings must really be low for First Read to play a trailer for it.
Are you kidding; Willie rocks? He should have put his rap music in the background. That would have been the real bomb for the scary right wing nut jobs!!!
"Opposition research" for a conservative is watching the Obama-poodle MSNBC.
Brian Williams literally bowed to the President in an interview early in his presidency; since then, Williams and NBC have bowed over figuratively with Obama friendly coverage....
I wasn't familiar with Suffolk, so I just looked up the poll you mentioned:
"Fox News host Bill O’Reilly was chosen by 7 percent of respondents as the most trusted reporter or analyst on TV. He is followed closely by Diane Sawyer (5 percent), Brian Williams and Anderson Cooper (4 percent each), and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity (3 percent each). About 24 percent of respondents were undecided."
7 % ??? Statistically speaking, I'd say "Undecided" is actually the runaway winner here.
Oh, and you forgot to mention this from the same poll about repealing the healthcare law:
"Although ‘repeal’ is the buzz word for the most conservative Republican Primary voters, the poll tells us that, among the broader electorate, only a minority want to repeal it, and a majority say it has made no impact or a positive impact on their lives,” said David Paleologos, the Suffolk pollster."
And then there was this part, too:
"-- Voters still largely believe Obama will win reelection, with 51 percent expecting him to remain in the White House, while just 28 percent who believe Romney will defeat him."
Oh, and this was interesting:
"-- More than half of likely voters believe Major League Baseball players who have been nabbed for off-the-field illegal activity should be banned from the Hall of Fame. Only two in five, however, believe that players identified for using performance-enhancing drugs should be blocked from the Hall, with half believing they should be allowed to be inducted."
Very interesting...
How easily candidates forget EVERY single word is captured today & ready to view within minutes on the internet.
Pretty hard to crab walk back video...
And Feisty - it's always a treat to see those demon sheep again, isn't it? One of my all-time favorites!

Opposition Research? Ha!
How about truth telling (aka opposition research)......
Too bad telling the truth brings doom. Just ask Valerie Plame and her husband Joe Wilson. Just ask Dan Rather......and countless others.
Dubya?....Would not tolerate the truth being told!

I watch NBC news with Brian Williams nightly and I get continually amazed at what gets swept under the rug and what makes first story.
ABSOLUTELY no doubt Mr. Williams is pushing for Obama's reelection! Massive Main Stream Media political hack!
Hell, it wouldn't even surprise me if he had Feisty DumbFux as his coffee grabber *wink wink*
just curious...
Why would you do that? entertainment? i quit watching Fox when the joke got stale.
I guess you are more easily amused. Or you have the attention span of my 4 year-old grandson and it always seems new to you,
New Suffolk poll have Fox most trusted network. O'Reilly most trusted commentator.
