I watched Meet The Press this Sunday, and while David Gregory did NOT mention the facts behind Fast and Furious, as recently uncovered by journalists writing for Fortune Magazine, the roundtable participants seemed to agree Eric Holder's contempt of Congress charge is politically irrelevant. I guess that's the best one can ask for in a political show. It's not their job to inform the public, it's an opinion show.
David Gregory had the best line of the show, however, when he asked Bobby Jindal "are you equating healthcare to Mardi Gras?" which was exactly what I was thinking! Jindal had just finished telling Howard Dean Mardi Gras wouldn't work well in Vermont, as the same healthcare program Massachusetts has had since 2006 wouldn't work in Louisiana. Gregory almost NEVER says what I am thinking, so that was a good moment.
The also failed to mention the majority of the Supper Pac's money is now coming from CHINA ..lets keep this just between us ...wink wink !
The Fortune article was very disappointing to me as a marker as to how broadcast editorial standards have precipitated in this "Fast and Furious" 24 hour instant news cycle. CBS did the nation a disservice by vocalizing a disgruntled ATF Agent without fact checking or context which enabled the publicity whore congressman to grab the national stage and promote the NRA agenda.
This was followed up by on camera twits repeating uninformed chatter from the SCOTUS watchers. Broadcast news can never have the credibility it once had, all in the interest of being the first to report misinformation.

I can't figure out if it's sheer laziness, or they are understaffed, or they are competing for ratings, or are following orders from corporate America, but broadcast news has become highly untrustworthy.
It is clearly coming from corporate and it is all about ratings and money!
The MSM couldn't care less about facts. It is all about the Benjamins!

I happened to be watching the Fox twit when SCOTUS came down, but apparently CNN botched it too. No. 1 maybe ideological, No. 2, maybe just using cheap rookies.
I missed the fun last Thursday...I see more whining and lame arguments from the right on here. IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL BITCHES!!
