[quote=saden1;737852]Did you see the new [URL="http://www.gallup.com/poll/143132/generic-ballot-virtually-tied-democrats-republicans.aspx"]Generic Gallop[/URL]? It was only a few weeks ago Republicans had a ten point lead and they were all sky high about their pretty numbers.[/quote]

Problem with that poll is that it only has registered Dems and Rep. and we all know that its the independents that will sway how this turn out. Its a pretty stupid poll.

Did't they get McChrystal fired? Last I f*cking check Fox News or National Review weren't breaking any mother f*cking stories. You love to hate NYT and RS because they do it big. And of course Taibbi has been a huge critic of Obama.

All I ask is you come correct. Is that too much to ask?

You have no basis to disparage their journalistic credentials. Perhaps you're confusing their credibility with their politics? If you want to take on what they say and call them on it go right ahead.

However, Matty said Taibbi is legit. I don't agree. That's as far as my statement on RS credibility goes. My Rolling Stone-Politics LOL is that it's no huge surprise an article bashing the Tea Party comes from them.

I don't think this is something a legit journalist would write:

His wiki page mentions dressing up in a gorrilla and being on LSD for a debate, I don't know if that's true or not, but again doesn't sound like a legit hournalist to me.

I took "Rolling Stone & Politics.....LOL" at face value. As in "they don't do credible work and shouldn't be taken seriously."

Oh, because if that's your definition of what constitutes what a journalist is I take it you don't think Fox News and National Review are legit journalists either with all those flawed characters on their roster and content in their archive?

The article on the Pope was a tasteless on the part of Taibbi but he did come out and admit it was stupid and tasteless and clarified its intent. You are more than welcome to think him a moron but that still doesn't change the fact that he is a legitimate and credible journalists. I will admit it myself, when it comes to talking about Lord Oama and how he betrayed the left I think Taibbi is a moron.


p.s. Vincent Van Gogh was a crazy mofo but was a genius painter.

SS33, you have your mind made up when it comes to RS, yet you don't read it? Not very objective.

RS, legit.

Don't get me wrong, the magazine itself is an American classic for music and entertainment. Politics, not so much.

If you can't shoot the message, shoot the messenger. If that's not possible then shoot any ol' random person on the street and announce them to be the awful message carrying messenger. Just be sure that that person is not someone important or related to one.

Here's an article on the Tea Party movement by a real journalist.
