You're probably one of those idiot conspiracists who thinks GE/NBC has
been pro-Obama, but this is the same company who's chairman in 2000
pushed NBC News to declare GW Bush the winner of the Florida election,
and it's given plenty of coverage to John McCain, who continues to be
one of the most frequent guests on its Meet The Press programs.

Randi Rhodes is a lot better than Limbaugh. For one thing, she isn't
a shill for any political party, as Limbaugh is for the Republican
party that he leads, and it's not rare for her to criticize Democrats,
even on some of their mainstream positions. Then there's the matter
of Rhodes presenting her opinions coherently and in a manner
consistent with facts from nonpartisan sources, something Limbaugh
avoids regularly.

No, I don't think they're pro Obama; they have him on one 'news' program
or another at LEAST once a month, and Merideth Viera might just as well
wear an Obama cheerleader outfit, as well as a few others.

I think they kinda have to or get fined by the FCC.
Who better to have than the opponent to the person you helped get elected.

I guess you aren't much of a viewer of NBC; either that or your rose
coloured glasses keep you from seeing the truth.

She's a friggin' nut. She's worse than Limbaugh from my point of view, and
at least as bad for the way she selectively spews out what SHE thinks is
important and never mind the rest, it's not important. When it comes to
completely presenting an issue, she ranks right next to Fox, maybe a
little higher.

Like I said, I rankr her right up there with Fox News on this.
