Will no one stifle Pumpkinhead and Tweety? Please.

Digby on one of the more distressing aspects of the debates:

Judging by their silly questions tonight, Russert and Williams obviously know nothing about health care policy, Iraq, Islamic terrorism, economics, global trade or any other subject that requires more than five minutes study to come up with some gotcha question or a stupid Jack Bauer fantasy. It's embarrassing.

These people guide the way citizens perceive politics even if the citizens don't know it. It's hard for me to see how anything can truly change until this is dealt with.

Update:
Backgr0und N015e gives one Jewish reaction to Chris Matthews' disgusting pursuit of the phony Farrakhan topic here. Tweety is such a disgusting a*****e.
