Yes it was. However, since the frump infection, wallace also played the faux games for his employer as well.
I've never given talking heads any real respect as journalists or pundits, as most of them come to work and pre read a script and perform in front of a camera. It is the anchor people themselves and the stations propaganda that tries to convince people of a talking heads integrity and professionalism and you can 'believe' what they read. When most their jobs consists of sitting down and reading copy off a teleprompter.
Yes, it's also true that some use their recognition off the camera for good causes. None at faux seemed to ever do that without some personal gain or ulterior motives.
I've worked with too many talking heads whose real background doesn't come close to the persona they try to portray. Due to all the plastic celebrities I've had to work with, I am jaded and sensitized to their career greatness. This is why I've made comments about fucker charlatan and his sick two faced games. People like fucker believe they are untouchable and above the law because they say they are only reading news. faux spews has gone over the line with fucker because he doesn't report the news, he and faux creates it. They used to call these people reporters and anchor people reporting happenings as they are. Now they are telling us what we should be thinking.
I went off on the news, not that you brought it to the board.
