re: #74 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce

I can’t begin to understand why the decision-making yahoos at MSNBC chose Chuck Todd over just about anyone, but over Maddow in particular. Compare their educational backgrounds, for a start.

Aside from that, even if she were stricken by some horribly unfortunate hormonal malady, there’s absolutely no way she could grow facial hair that looks as stupid and smarmy as Chuck’s.

Maddow and others like her might ask real questions of the guests, making them mad and refusing to return, or refusing to appear at all.

I don’t know exactly when this started, but I first noticed it on Fox with Hannity and Colmes, where Republicans would only be “interviewed” by Hannity, and non-Republicans by Colmes. I thought that was complete bullshit, but it caught on.

The neutering of the tv press is all but complete now, except for dusty corners where few viewers go.
