Funny in a stupid way because they couldn't figure out anything else to say. Morons.
CNN & MSNBC lost their credibility long ago.
Thanks jdamn13
minor update: y'know, I was thinkin' about this (dangerous bad bad no no dangerous) if this was Red Eye or SNL or Letterman or Leno this would have been alot funnier. But these guys are SUPPOSED to be professional journalists. To put it another way imagine Cronkite or Jennings or Brokaw or Rather saying the same thing as the MSNBC knothead.

After the Obamafest election coverage I removed CNN from my TV package. I miss Lou Dobbs but c'est la vie.
I haven't watched CNN since Hurricane Katrina. Aaron Brown may not have been perfect but he was a damned sight better than what they have now.
MR - I agree. It was funny, if it weren't supposed to be a real news show. If it had been SNL I would have laughed (I need to repent, I know!)
I wonder what Gergen is thinking right about now? I know he is smarmy, but is he as sleazy/nasty as the anchors?

ah see! The TEA parties did have some postive value--I learned a new word. /sarc
I didn't know what it was either.
But, luckily, there seems to be no modesty left in the world, and practically every website I was on over the last two days (OK, not Martha Stewart's) helpfully defined it for me.
Sheesh.

You ladies need to get out more :)
Good point in the post, MR. Not only can you hear the bitterness in Schuster's voice, and not only is the humor incredibly lowbrow and unfunny, but punning? It really is like a horrible MadTV sketch. Schuster should work for TV Guide or Seventeen magazine with that kind of 'cleverness.'
I don't think they'd hire him.
The heart of this is that those who look in the mirror and see the well educated, high thinking, morally correct, determined not to offend minorities, well meaning, peace promulgating, gaia loving product of all that has gone before them, cannot bear the thought that if someone, let alone MORE VIEWERS THAN THEY ALL HAVE TOGETHER, disagrees with them, it might mean something.
To those people the election was an end point, a final decision on capitalism, conservatism and the ideas of the 'old white slave holders'.
Now they are presented with the bitter truth. It does not feel good.
In order to push this feeling away, we get ridicule, intolerance, and finally the refusal to accept reality.
It will be interesting to see if the media accelerates or gets hold of themselves.
I think the cue will come from the democratic party, and it's leadership in the WH and Congress. I have hopes, but different expectations.
MR - maybe we need to stay IN more. . .
Ha!!

Hmmm. . .
