Michael Ramirez for March 14, 2014

Hey, just about all of the news programs are pure entertainment these days. Edward R Murrow is spinning in his grave.

Those liberals at CBS sure were making up stuff about Obama. So he must not be liberal. Or something.

What a maroon.

News outlets give the people what they want. We have shown we don’t care about geo-political implications. We don’t want to understand thousands of years of hatred and retribution in the Middle East, as long as we can see today’s actress’s “baby bump” or that fashion faux pas that someone wore to the Oscars.

As long as we are unwilling to care about real news, the news will give us pablum and titillation. And as long as we are willing to only watch “news” programming that reinforces our worldview, we’re going to get filtered and limited information with a heaping helping of attitude.

Actually, her track record is very in the middle. She’s investigated both sides of the aisle and done a pretty good job in my opinion. I wish her well and hope to hear from her soon.

Really? Maybe you can teach us how to fnd the truth in their “reporting”. I keep getting distracted by all of their eye rolling and drama filled terminology.

What a maroon.

C word? You mean like:

CoolCommendableConsistentCredible

None of which, I would agree, CBS is any longer.

Conscientious

Capable

Cooperative

Captivating

Charming

Cheerful

Classy

Chipper

Cordial

Correct

Let me save us both some time:

What’s really sad is this seems to be an actual website someone took time to create.

Besides, you have to give her some credit (Did I use ‘credible’? I did). She didn’t compromise her standards (not a ‘c’ word I would use). Maybe they aren’t standards you agree with, but it’s still commendable (see what I did there?), especially these days, when someone sticks to their guns. I don’t think anyone, even Ramierz, would call her a c^#!

Thanks.

I’ll give you the point about someone calling her a C word. I should have written ‘she shouldn’t be called a C for sticking to her guns’.

It’s not that she is a talking head. I could care less about that. It’s that she appears to have left because she attempted to do a credible job as a reporter. However, that didn’t fit with CBS News’ political agenda. Between Fox News, MSNBC, NPR, and the New York Times (and all the other ones I could name), I’m just happy to see a journalist whose not willing to be the mouthpiece of one or the other party.

I haven’t really seen the man-crush on Putin yet. I’ve seen some say he’s a more decisive leader and better at playing the foreign policy game than Obama. Honestly, I would agree with that. However, I haven’t really seen many say he’s a great leader. I may not have been reading the right comments though.

On the other hand, I see a lot of leanings in both sides towards a ‘my party right or wrong and yes we’re building camps’ type mentality. Honestly though I see it more on the left than the right. Or perhaps I should say I’m more troubled by it on the left than the right. In my opinion the republican party is dying. Probably in another fifteen or twenty years it will be a distinct minority if there at all. I’m not sure that’s a good thing. I don’t agree with their rhetoric. Well not all of it. But I don’t like the idea of just one party in charge. Particularly our Reds. I’m seeing too much bitter self righteousness and desire for revenge on that side. Hopefully I’m being paranoid. We’ll see.
