Of course. But all day coverage of one of their employees is just weird and seems wrong to me. [ Reply | More

He was also a major player in American politics. No politician was taken seriously on the national stage until after an appearance on Meet The Press. You could be a mayor or maybe a governor without one, but not President. Even Cheney came to him. [ Reply | More

He took great care to make sure no one saw any bias. He started his career in politics working for Daniel Moynahan and Mario Cuomo - he was a Democrat. [ Reply | More
