Elitist Liberals Look Down on Average Americans
Last week's episode of The West Wing was a live "debate" between the two presidential candidates, Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits, moderated by MSNBC newscaster Forrest Sawyer. I did not get to see the episode, but I did read the New York Post's Adam Buckman, who proclaimed that some
aspects of the telecast itself were poorly thought out. One gaffe was the use of the NBC News logo under the word "Live" on screen throughout the hour.Yes, you know—those people who might actually think Alan Alda is running for President.
NBC does its news division a disservice by slapping a news label on a piece of prime-time entertainment. It is irresponsible, too, because it confuses some viewers.
hey we saw it in Seattle and said "what the..." we knew it was not real but we could not figure out what the "live" was all about...
it came off as 2 bad actors practicing their craft.. we quickly turned off the TV.
