The all new Meet The Press - the "news" show formerly known as Dancin' Dave Takes It Hard And Deep From Both Ends Sides - is kinda set to debut pretty soon, and they're announcing the additions of Luke (you-knew-my-dad-so-you-owe-me-something) Russert and Scabrous Joe (The Schmo From That Morning Show) to a production that prob'ly won't be called "UpChuck The Toadie Is Not Here To Tell You The Facts".
Meet The Press hasn't been a news show for quite a while - and that includes the Tim Russert era. To wit:
When your show's big advertisers are Boeing and General Dynamics and Raytheon; and your guest list is always dominated by "The Right", then you're not a news show - you're a soft porn infomercial pimping for an oligarchy. And your little puppet parade has nothing to do with your responsibilities as The 4th Estate in maintaining a healthy democracy.
It's shameful. We deserve better.
