Just to add to the Liz Cheney item posted below.
I always chuckle when I read in the mainstream press about how liberal MSNBC is and how it's the liberal equivalent to Fox News. I laugh, of course, because MSNBC devotes its entire morning drive to a program hosted by a former right-wing Republican member of Congress. (I'm still searching for that far-left FNC host.) And lately, MSBNC has been making news by airing Pat Buchanan's incessant and hateful, anti-minority rants against Sonia Sotomayor.
But hey, MSNBC's liberal.
Greg Sargent notes that in recent weeks MSNBC has practically given Liz Cheney her own cot in the green room because she's on the air there so often defending her father and chiming in on how the Obama WH is making America less safe. How and why Liz Cheney suddenly descended from the media heaven as a fully formed must-see guest remains a mystery, and Sargent put the question to an MSNBC flak.
The answer: “Liz is a great guest.”
