Donahue

Well, Donahue's been canceled. I'm not all that upset about it. I didn't really watch and didn't consider him a particularly effective advocate. I'd rather have him on than not on, I suppose, on balance, but I don't think it matters that much. There is one thing which drives me insane - the myth that Donahue's ratings sucked.

Well, they did suck, but so DO CHRIS MATTHEWS'. In fact, they were regularly the same or higher. Why the double standard?

On the other hand, I believe Eric Alterman will be chatting with little lying Tweety tonight.

(oops, just noticed Tom Spencer said basically the same thing)
