Russert Fails Again

Unfortunately, Tim Russert assembled a lopsided panel of liberal voices to bash the Bush administration on Meet The Press this morning. It sounded like an out of tune echo chamber as the lofty liberals discussed in their nuanced positions in shrill and strident tones slamming the President and his foreign policy team. These so-called intellectual heavy weights set aside the goals of statesmanship and productive dialogue to make ridiculous attempts to exasperate the Bush administration, and espouse a political strategy that they believe will rewrite history and benefit the democrats in the Fall elections. NBC and Tim Russert need to seriously consider the rich and storied history of Meet The Press, and engage expert guests who can engage in meaningful and genuine debate. Instead of furthering an authentic, deliberative forum, Russert is permitting the long running program to become a platform for the pious that are lost in cerebral gymnastics designed to demean the Bush administration.

Robert Gallucci, Dean, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University and Chief Negotiator for the 1994 North Korea Nuclear Agreement, sang the tune prescribed by Madeleine Albright and Wendy Sherman who believe that the 1994 framework prevented further weapons development. Gallucci was the designated excuse-maker in chief for the failed policies of the Clinton administration. Their buddy, former President Jimmy Carter, injected himself into the 1994 situation, and is once again partially responsible for the United States having a failed appeasement strategy.

In the world of Sunday Morning News, and in the scope of the main stream media, Meet The Press has become nothing more than a propaganda tool for the leftists who control the paradigm of thinking in New York city and Washington DC. They probably never met anyone in their circle of contacts who voted for or supports President Bush, Vice-President Cheney, or Condolizza Rice. Probably all of these experts on Russert’s program this morning supported the Nuclear Freeze movement in the middle 1980’s. Enough said.
