Both Sides Do It! Both Sides Do It!

Offering actually political analysis hurts Luke Russert's #dudebro brain. It is much easier for him to say, "Both sides do it." #LukeRussert #media #politicalhack #MSNBC #NBCNews #hack #progressive #liberal #cablenews

Is there a least deserving person on a cable news gig than Luke Russert? He graduated from Boston College in 2008 and was hired by NBC News to cover the prtesidential election. While still in college Russert was co-hosting the XM Satellite Radio show 60/20 Sports with James Carville. I have no idea what their shared expertise in sports is.

If you think Luke Russert didn't get these gigs because his father is Tim Russert than you are a fool. In Russert's entire journalism career he has never broken one story.

Tom Brokaw has an embarrassing imaginary on-air conversation. This guy really needs to not get shit-faced drunk before he goes in front of a camera.

Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer Part 2

CNBC financial pundit Jim Cramer used the mighty power of NBC to enact vengence on Jon Stewart. Cramer went on the Today Show and Morning Joe. My favorite bit was Joe Scarborough challenging Jon Stewart to predict the future of the stock market. The Treasury Department can't even do that.

Stewart responds to Cramer's Today Show and Morning Joe appearances. This feud is giving the popular Stewart extra exposure. Most of CNBC was smart enough to ignore Stewart's first skit. Not Cramer, but then Cramer did urge viewers to buy Bear Sterns stock.
