Mo Rocca's commentary

cowbite · 12:39 AM

Did anyone else find him to be incredibly hilarious? I especially enjoyed the little segment about Edwards being a "stay at home vice president" and "setting the vice presidency back 30 years." Good stuff, I tell ya.

He's terrible, though I could see how someone who's not a wonk like me would find him cool.

The best part of watching him during the convention is how all the other CNN reporters look so exasperated after they cut back from one of his talks. Larry King's just like, "That was funny, Mo Rocca. Very funny," making no effort to mask how disgusted he is.

I just like how he goes off on some random schpeel about some plant from South Africa that has an edible root while the the others just sort of laugh awkwardly.

Yeah, uh, those other reporters are bigger jokes than he is.

Oh, come on, man. I know you don't exactly have a love affair with the media, but at least guys like Larry King (whom I'm not exactly fond of either) know what they're talking about.

Larry King should have died years ago. That old bag of bones only caters to retarded diaper wearing old people. Who gives a shit what he thinks. He and Paul Harvey need to be put in an octagon ring to fight to the death. The winner then gets to be shot in the back of the head. Fuck those old guys.

This is all true.

And, sadly, Mo Rocca is still worse than that.

Supposedly he used to have a respectable radio talk program. Now his career has degraded to discussing the day's vapid, soap opera news stories with that woman from Court TV.

Mo, along with most the other commentators, are now in my eyes the lowest form of celebrity whores. People yapping about anything to be on television. It's like a reality show gone HORRIBLY wrong.

Lehrer, Rather, Koeppel.....those people though not likeable, still kind of just report the news without using suggestive tones or words to convey their slant. A new generation following their footsteps woudl make the media more credible to me.

I'm only watching PBS and C-Span during the campaign. Those channels filter out the crap talk from the sidelines.

I think he did. That's Jim Henson Studios' creation on CNN these days.

Larry King never knows what he's talking about. Mo isn't stupid, he's irreverent.
