Futility: Looking backwards at a plan in progress
Dkos diarist Tirge Caps is spot on with this report registered below. There was something that disturbed me with both “Meet the Pres” and “State of the Union” today.. Reading Tirge Caps has given me my voice.
David Gregory of “Meet the Press” and John King of “State of the Union” truly showed up today as being ‘the not ready for prime time’ amateurs they are. For whatever reason, we have moved into an era of teachers and there are never too many of them. I first noticed it with Rachel Maddow and the success of her show. I had not heard about her before but the people at Dkos did and talked about her regularly.
With so much information to disseminate these days, and with so many people crying for understanding, there is all the more reason a moderator should assume some role of giving accurate information to the citizenry in an orderly and comprehensive manner. Assuming the role of a teacher, if you will, and not the contemporary aura of a naysayer. I am sure there are other words that could be used instead of naysayer but I am not that kind of a guy to use bad language, insulting people and all. (Smile)
What David Gregory and John King did today was a Mainstream embarrassment. In my opinion, this is what they did:
They wanted to discuss some plans already made and some already in place and began asking questions that were both asked and solved BEFORE the plan was drawn up. In other words, they asked series of “what if” questions and hypotheticals. Those types of dialogs occur at the moment of an inception of a plan. That’s what separates a plan from a good idea. A lot of blood, sweat and tears goes into it and for the two hosts in question to infer, “You guys were so stupid because you didn’t think about this or that. What it…?” If I were Sec. Orszag, I would have peed on King and left the set. Spare me, Jesus! Hoping lots of people read Tirge Caps’ diary.
As always,
BB
P.S. I had a much more pleasant time watching Fareed Zakaria.

Excerpt:
The media is often pushing the question of whether President Obama is living up to his campaign promises. I have seen very little narrative from the media, outside of Rachel's show, on what Obama has actually accomplished. The list is quite long and it matches up nicely with his campaign pledges.
