Questions Not Asked

.

This morning on the Imus Show, Orrin Hatch coulda been asked what he thought of Michelle Bachmann's attack on the bill he co-authored. Whether he agrees with her that he's facilitating re-education camps.

Let's all start making note of "questions not asked" and start pushing back about them.

Which brings me to...more shootings of police this morning.... What will be the "questions not asked" on the string of cop killings and violence against immigrants, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Mr. Beck? Mr. Dobbs? Hannity? Limbaugh? Hmmm, FAUX, CNN, MSBNC?

Prairie's Question asked: Why do rightwing Republicans incite violence and hate against America's cops on the beat protecting the "homeland"? And why does our media enable them with half-truths and whitewash?

Just askin'....

NYT Says, So It Must Be So

.

The New York Times finally jumps on yesterday's blogosphere bandwagon to chime in that David Gregory is the likely host of Meet the Press.

And, according to the Times article, it's all about the Today Show.

Yep, that's right. The long-standing gold standard of Sunday morning gasbaggery has been relegated to stepping stone to the Today Show.

And ol' twinkle toes is being catered to bigtime lest he leap to ABC GMA.

Which leaves me with questions:

The Today Show is a news show? Since when is infotainment "news"?

And, why not Lester Holt?
