Why should I be surprised?

I have steadfastly watched Keith Obermann on Countdown for the past several years and am coming to the realization that not only does he not have any anti-war people on his show, he does not ever have any people of color as guests on his show. I have had to take my head out of the sand, like an ostrich, to come to this realization. I am going to switch over to PBS News, where they have a diversity of guests that reflect America. Even Lou Dobbs, whom I watch also, has a diversity of guests.

It’s not that they’re “white men.” It’s that they’re pretty faces without any credibility, curiosity, or depth who jealously guard their status as a White House invitee for Bush’s soirees. Dont’cha just love those caviar canapes? And didn’t Bush look dashing in tails? Cozy enabling bastards all.

But if you called them “empty suits” instead of “white men,” you’d've cover Katie Couric too. C’mon, Media Matters, your deliberate exclusion of the pioneer pretty face female teleprompter reader posing as a journalist exposes your sexist underpinnings. Is that why you were careful to restrict your penetrating analysis to cable?

Bottom line: who cares when the product they’re delivering is nothing but a pile of steaming crapola — propaganda and lies designed to manipulate the underinformed. Stay on point, Media Matters.

In light of facts, resort to ad hominem insults.
Yup, liberal.

You don’t seem to understand the meaning of “in light of.” Or are you actually admitting that JPark insulted you after taking into account the facts?
Yup, another neo-CON troll who can’t write English well

A serious question though. Why are liberals so threatened by black/hispanic/female conservatives?

Well, Nota, check out the percentages of minorities in the US and compare it to the percentages of minorities in cable news. YOU have been duped. You believe that every issue has NOTHING racial in it.

I’m shocked!
That the headline didn’t incude the adjective “Pasty” White Men.

Would U presume BET might be where U find the most of them?

Olbermann has that beautiful black lady announcer fill in for him when he’s away. She has charm, intelligence, fairness, and skill. Would we think this to be a qualification?

Raise your hand! How many of you are just sitting out there looking for a racial issue to jump on?

Main objective regarding race: This is Republican’s big PR through Rove: Divide and cause trouble between US citizens by whatever means available. You’ve all been duped! Again!

“Want to know why Bush II did it? Because the Dimocrats insisted on blocking all worthy minority candidates to the appeals courts in his first term.”

Hehe, Dems did it!!!!! Shut up m12 or say something intelligent.

I love the idiots who bash on Supreme Court fundamentalist catholics, when 4 of them deviate from the Catholic church’s position on the death penalty.

Why don’t you ask Clinton why he nominated white man Steven Breyer instead of a minority?

Want to know why Bush II did it? Because the Dimocrats insisted on blocking all worthy minority candidates to the appeals courts in his first term.

Also #32, would it be racist to have a headline that said

“Major Sports Teams filled with black men”?

Personally, I find BOTH offensive. jesus christ

Wow, not racist at all. Assumptions leave you open to big falls.

Your comment is bereft of intelligence. “would pollute the airwaves”-why, because Michael Moore dared to criticize the Bush administration and its needless reason to invade Iraq, thereby causing the deaths of over 4000 Americans [counting civilian contractors] and over 655,000 innocent Iraqis?

Michael Moore couldnâ€™t even get on Larry King.
Comment by Bluedog49 â€” May 7, 2007 @ 6:30 pm

He’s white and slimey. He wouldn’t help with the lack of minorities and would pollute the airwaves.

One could also look at it this way: Of the 108 total Supreme Court Justices, only 11 (10.2%) have been Catholic, while 24.5% of Americans according to the 2000 census are Catholic.

Comment by John M â€” May 7, 2007 @ 5:46 pm

Right, but that would be stupid. of 108 and eight supreme court justices, only 2 have been black, or .018%, where’s your arugment now, troll? When you’re done with that, explain why only .018% of the supremes have been women while you’re at it.

“This is stupid. Whatâ€™s the point in pointing out race?” said the white guy.
