Commentator's simply give their opinion... (none / 1)

a journalist does the research before giving their opinion.  If Cenk is just a large wind bag like Rush then I wouldn't have much respect for him.  I believe that he actually tries to do some research, that makes him a journalist.

A commentator is a nice word for a "talking head." I doubt Cenk is a talking head.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

He might be a GOOD commentator (none / 1)
I don't think being a "commentator" is automatically a bad thing, but I think there is something to the idea that "journalist" and "commentator" are separated by a bold line. Maybe journalist minus responsibility equals commentator.

Ergo, commentator minus steady work equals blogger.

Ergo, blogger minus blogs equals Ken.

Well, I can't argue that logic... (none / 0)
still I would prefer he were more journalist.  It would enhance his reputation.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
