I wonder...

The current death of Tim Russert from Meet the Press caught a lot of us off guard. Here was is one of America's most intelligent and very well respected journalist in the world of politics. Russert was one of the few political analyst that would interview politicians without softening his questions. He never jumped into an interview unprepared. Unfortunately, networks have candidates on that they support to make them look good. Even though Russert worked with Democrats on a few elections, he did not overlook their shortcomings. Many times Russert would have guests on the show and show them video clips that were taken at different places and times that contradicted each other and made the person clarify their position.
Russert was a true political journalist who put personal biases to the side and interviewed his guests with disregard to their party affiliations. It didn't matter if his guests were Republicans or Democrats, Russert interviewed everyone with hard-hitting questions and addressed any and all inconsistencies in the guests statements or actions. Russert will definitely be missed by those of us who follow politics and who still have faith the media in a time of right-wing propaganda.

bored!

I have been up since 4:30 a.m. and have not been able to go to sleep. However, I am tired enough to not want to do anything but not enough to take a nap. So I tried watching the news but it is all garbage. Fox News is foaming at the mouth about anything that disagrees with the right wing ideology. CNN and MSNBC keep running the same damn Hillary story. I missed my best source for news, Telemundo, so now I have to wait until 6 p.m. to see what they have to say. In all honesty, I know some people will find it hard to believe, Telemundo is very balanced when presenting the news. You know they support the Hispanic community but their news stories are not left wing oriented like Fox news is for the conservative right. I guess I am going to have check out their website but that requires reading and I am not really in th mood for that. I read enough during these past four months.

For once I'm nervous

I have a job interview at 2 p.m. I usually don't get nervous about things like this but it will be the first job that I apply for that isn't retail or warehouse work. It is somewhat of a professional job. I have my resume and references in order which is good. I am going to go for my walk, come home, shave and shower. If I get this gig, things are going to start getting a lot better. I'm praying for the best.
