Bush-apologist Joe Scarborough finally got his come-uppance from foreign policy expert Zbigniew Brzezinksi on his show "Morning Joe," which I confess to watching every day - not because of Joe, but because of the variety and quality of the guests who provide a much more balanced "sound byte" view of current political events the rest of MSNBC's "news" programming. The problem is that shows that try to deal with the complex issues that constitute politics generally and foreign policy specifically do not get high rates usually. One of my favorites is PBS' "Newshour with Jim Lehrer" and the entire PBS Friday lineup that is probably the best "news" on television. But who's watching it beside those of us who want more than quick "sound bytes" that are easily digested? To use another metaphor, the American public wants their news presented like "Monday Night Football" with two teams with opposite views that they root for based on where they're from (party affiliation) and the color of their uniforms (classification as "liberal" or "conservative"). Like Blago, Joe is a poster child for narcissistic personality disorder, taking every disagreement (let alone, criticism!) as a personal attack and denouncing Jimmy Carter while extoling the dubious accomplishments of the most unpopular President in recent history. The show is my my wake-up call and a reminder that Friday night is coming and I'll get to watch Bill Moyer!
