You Never Forget Your First Time … Watching MSNBC
I lean right on most issues, and I’m well aware of how MSNBC leans. I’ve read the channel’s web reporting and watched some of its video clips, all of which reinforced the image the channel has cultivated in recent years.
Sites like Newsbusters.org do a thorough job exposing some of the more outrageous comments uttered on the network.
But I never watched MSNBC for an extended period until Tuesday night, during the coverage of the Massachusetts Senate special election. I was genuinely curious how they would cover a breaking news story with the potential to run afoul of their most popular hosts’ belief systems.
I wish my curiosity hadn’t gotten the better of me.
The channel assembled Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow, two unabashed liberals and Barack Obama supporters, to comment on the breaking news. And who was anchoring this portion of the programming? Keith Olbermann, someone whose tone appears far more intense than his peers. (I’m trying to be gentle.)
Three hardcore liberals assigned to report on a major senatorial race, each looking as if someone was torturing their dog off camera. Norah O’Donnell looked equally pained, and she was stationed at Brown’s camp. Typically, when a newscaster is situated in the winner’s circle, the jubilation can be infectious. She was immune.
Fair and balanced? Doom and gloom is more like it. Where was the jovial Matthews, the feisty political observer, during one of the biggest nights in recent electoral memory? This is meaty stuff, an historic night with plenty to chew on, but Matthews looked as if he had eaten something that disagreed with him. It’s safe to assume he didn’t get a tingle all night.
but I felt embarrassed for the folks at MSNBC all the same.
General Electric owns MSNBC. CEO Jeffrey Immelt seemingly has a tact agreement between the network bosses and himself: push the global warming myth and national health care—and I will let you doing anything you so desire. He has bigger fish to fry. Immelt is one of the big losers of Scott Brown’s victory. It probably will force him out the door. GE bet everything on Obama’s domestic agenda—and it probably has lost big. Heads will roll. MSNBC will likely be sold. In the meantime, GE’s executives could care less what Keith Olbermann and the other clowns do for the next couple of months.
Be careful, Christian. That stuff has the addictive allure of a train-wreck, and it’s on five nights a week, each program running twice, and available on the net after the first show is broadcast. Once you build up a resistance to Rachel and Keith, you find yourself moving to the hard stuff . . . Ed Schultz. Then you can go to Daily Kos to see them grooving on how brill-yunt it all was. There’s an endless supply of it out there, but it’ll drain you of hope!
search out the video from msnbc of the morning after the 2004 presidential election returns when it at first looked like John Kerry had won over Bush.
The expressions of glee on the faces of Chrissy Matthews,et.al. was something to behold. The turnaround to dispair when Bush won was priceless.
Compare that with the fox reporting of the same time period.
I loved it…..you will too.
After an intense campaign, and Coakley conceded, I couldn’t help myself but to tune in to MSNBC.
I was also curious to witness the meltdown. I was not dissapointed.
They say that capital punishment does not bring closure. I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Chris Matthews, I used to watch your show. Like Andrew Sullivan, you were an early, enthusiastic supporter of the Iraq Invasion. You were so into that war, your eyes glowed red like Christopher Lee playing Dracula.
All the Obama-worship in the world won’t erase those videos. And it won’t expunge your guilt in cheering on that conflict.
MessBC is the Cuckoo’s Nest and Rachel Maddow is Nurse Rachet.
Olbermann. He was horrible at SportsCenter and is worse at MSNBC.
I remember when he did ESPN, I’d put the tele on mute and use CC. For the very unfunny Craig Kilborn as well.
Then again, I do (did) the same with John Madden, Joe Theismann, Dick Vitale and Dan Dierdorf!
GE has all of the financial reasons to support AGW and the push to alternative energy sources. They, GE, are the largest manufacturer of wind turbines in America. Their facility in South Carolina produces hundreds of the monsters each year and if AGW and the Cap and Trade legislation is successful, their stock grows even larger. Now that a new senator from Mass., a Republican (can’t believe the words can be printed or spoken out loud), has clearly stated he will oppose the wind farm offshore, and the collapse of the house of lies built by falsified science by AGW charlatans, the GE image is wearing a little thin.
And, to top it off, having an effiminate, angry, failed ESPN anchor take off on Brown, is icing on the cake. But, as long as MSNBC makes a minor profit, it will stay on the air. Remember Air America? It is still around, isn’t it? As long as the trio of minor political savants continue throwing their poison darts at America, someone will sponsor them, one way or another. We can use the comedic relief.
MSNBC? Is that, like a tv show or something?
The only folks who watch MSNBC are Alinski drones and the WH. It’s a commercial disaster run by ideologues. As long as its parent network and the Soros band of brothers continue to pump money into this amateur operation, it will stay on the air. Could anyone send Matthews a nice little Mao hat? He would look so much more authentic and it would give him a bit more street cred.
I watched too. When Norah Odonnell came on I thought I was looking into the face of Mme Defarge. There she stood, mentally stitching the names of her enemies – in this case, millions of Bay Staters – into her fetching little Armani jacket, plotting their execution. I had to laugh. The hatred was palpable and disturbing, even by Progressive standards.
But hey, look at it this way, Norah. With so many swamp people tuned in to watch the carnage, at least msnbc had a rating that night. But don’t get too used to it.
Christian, their gloom reflects the understanding that their gig is up and their cushy contracts are about to be a thing of the past. They know that once the emperor is seen as having no clothes, they will have nowhere to hide. They are supposed to be journalists of a sort and to not question this administration or report what happens somewhat fairly, the viewers are a very harsh judge! They had better start saving money, Fox won’t have a job for them.
Norah O’Donnell looked like she was in a hostage situation. I thought Rachel Maddow just wanted to go muff diving at Doyle’s. And the Yankees suck.
The proof is in the ratings. MSNBC can’t even come close to competing with FOX News, and for good reason. I think some nights you can get more people to watch an accident on a highway than any single show on MSNBC. No liberal programming has succeeded anywhere, especially on radio (AIR AMERICA died a horrible death, and that was even with massive financial support from the far left). The far left may rant and rave, but they will always be in the minority (thank GOD) because they just don’t understand what this country is all about. Obama’s ultra-liberal agenda is crashing and burning and the massive public revolt against his administration has begun. Virginia, New Jersey, and now Massachusetts have spoken and the midterms are only 10 months away. Hope Obama likes being this century’s Jimmy Carter. I’m sure his friends at MSNBC will be sad to see him go.
Really?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b5zWn5Va7I
Tell me again that Palin has been attacked like no other politician. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
Matthews is an admitted Alinsky junkie,
we can’t expect much from him or the people he associates with on the programs..
Interesting that Toto didn’t quote ANYTHING the people at MSNBC said. They “looked” this way or that. They “appeared” to be “feeling” this or that.
That’s the best you got? Fox is a lot easier to document when it comes to ideological lunacy.
But wasn’t it fun to watch. Now here’s to election night 2010 (and 2012) being the same deal.
I would love to know MSNBC’s ratings that night, because I wouldn’t surprised if they jumped 50%, with scores of conservatives, like us, diving in to witness the spectacle.
There was no mention here of the Ed show, who like Olberman, has such a ‘pi–ed off at all you idiots out there’ demeanor that I was literally giggling like a kid with a new toy as I watched him try to deal with the fact that Brown was going to win big.
This was also where I first saw the first rolling out of the… ‘Brown won because voters wanted the same “change” as they did one year ago, meaning they want radically federalized health care and voted against Coakley because Dems hadn’t delivered it’… excuse, which I also laughed out loud at. I’m laughing a bit less as it appears they really intend to stick that line, and now I am just stunned.
(Now I must give credit where due, and I think that’s a pig I just saw go past my 12th floor window…
…but if you haven’t seen Chris Matthews interview Howard Dean on this, go there now…
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/01/20/howard-dean-brown-won-because-obamacare-isnt-liberal-enough-or-something/
It is utterly priceless, and yes, props to Chris Matthews, who just hammers Dean on the sheer preposterousness of the argument mentioned above. You can even glimpse inside Matthews mind, as he tries to gauge whether Dean is knowingly spouting sheer nonsense (which is known to some as “lying”), or if, just possibly, he really and truly believes the mind-bogglingly stupid argument he is making, essentially that Brown won because Democrats weren’t progressive enough.
Again, in spirit of fairness, props to Matthews at this one, and give it a look if you haven’t, it is a total hoot.)
You will remember that GE stockholders showed their disgust at the annual shareholders meeting about the strong leftwing tilt of NBC. Immelt could care less what shareholders think.
Once Comcast buys NBCU, I would suggest any tea-partier, conservative, republican, etc. cancel their Comcast cable service, and let them know why you are doing so. Cable companies are no longer monopolies, and there are always deals being made with other providers in bundled services, therefore you may save money while making a statement.
Zucker is the true villian, and he must go.
Thank god I don’t have cable or satellite.
Matthews is a piece of work. Much of his weirdness, particularly the squeaky voice, and tingle down his leg is the unfortunate consequence of wearing too tight undershorts.
Yeah, it’s an entirely different planet over there. I have to flip through every so often just so I can watch the children reliving “flower power” and the Age Of Aquarious. Good for some laughs. Think I’ll watch Easy Rider tonight, and then Night Of The Living Dead.
I tuned in specifically to watch their discomfort. I left a very happy man. You could almost hear Olbermann crying in the background while Brown gave his speech. Their lack of commentary and poor spirits spoke volumes.
I, too, tuned in not because I wanted to see any of the three listed above but because I was channel-surfing for actual “news”. I knew, of course, who (and what) Chris Matthews is, but Rachel Maddow and the blonde bimbo were a revelation. I watched them plotting in front of God and everyone how to overturn a majority vote, alternating with discussing how the voters just didn’t “understand” and why that voter stupidity resulted in what they were seeing. THe other thing I noted was that in the hour or so I did watch, there was not one single clip or quote from the WINNER of the election, but lots and lots and lots of interviews and clips from the LOSER. Who cares what Martha had to say at that point? But it’s all NBC chose to run. I hope they do get sold, and I hope all of these “broadcaster” are fired and end up unemployed on the same street as their media brethren from bankrupt newspapers. Obama’s White House won’t be able to create jobs for *all* of them!
The only time I ever watched Don Rather on the CBS news was on election day in 1994. By late evening, you could see the pain and terror in his eyes; it was wonderful!
So, I thought I’d enjoy watching MSNBC for the MA results. Didn’t work. Maddox was OK several brief times. The blond guy just blathered whenever I saw him. But, Olberman just demonstrated what a graceless, no-class guy he is. What’s with all the facial tics and mugging?
I remember thinking that these guys couldn’t have, like sponsors. But they did. Some schmuck was actually willing to pay to have these three jerks babble about something important. I didn’t think, at the time, to make a list of the sponsors so I could avoid them in future and, maybe, if I ever watch this channel again, I’ll make such a list.
“Immelt could care less what shareholders think.”
Jeffrey Immelt is similar to the guy who jumped off an eighty-story building. It’s too late to change one’s mind. Immelt has placed all his bets and GE’s fortunes on Obama’s domestic agenda. Damn the torpedoes and the stockowners. He will likely be fired in the near future and go down in history as probably the worst CEO in GE’s history. Jack Welch’s reputation may also go down in flames. He chose Immelt and must take the blame for a disastrous decision.
17 – Oh please, skeez, forgive us for not having our notebooks out to transcribe.
The entire point of this post is that body language, tone-of-voice, and demeanor are huge elements of human communication. And everyone who watched MSNBC that night saw that every one of them there was reacting like they had just won the lottery, and then the wind blew their ticket into the furnace.
Regardless of one word said or not said, we all knew exactly what was going on at MSNBC that night, and we all agree on what we saw: A bunch of genuinely angry, pi–ed-off-every-single-day-at-the-world-that-refuses-to-see-their-brilliance “progressives” were utterly B-slapped big time by the people of Massachusetts (of all places!), and it was damn fine television.
But do keep hoeing that row, by all means.
Don’t you know any better than to tune in there? When you turn on the light in an infested kitchen, the roaches all run under the fridge–and MSNBC et al. are equally predictable.
When I watch news, it’s on the Fox Network, where we get to hear from all sides.
Tuned in to bsnbc for the first time in many years specifically to witness their utter incomprehensible demoralization. I wasn’t dissappointed. Maddow tried to actually smile several times but it was obviously strained. I listened to olberman vomit his vile bile “comment” twice then turned to CNN for a few minutes then back to FNC for the remainder and acceptance speech. Great night!
…
MSNBC – Morons Spouting Nothing But Crap
..
Google “olbermann + rant”…then take your pick.
Doesn’t get any easier.
@17 skeeziks: “Fox is a lot easier to document when it comes to ideological lunacy.”
Are you trying to make the argument, then, that all of those MSNBC commentator-type people Toto mentioned above AREN’T ideological leftists? That they’re “objective” in their presentations? Do you seriously want to make that argument? Because that’s too funny. Deluded, but laugh-out-loud funny.
I had fun watching one of FNC’s liberals (yes, they have several). Greta, on election night, was pale, washed out, stiff. I loved it!
Wow, and I thought I was the only one to take in this guilty pleasure.
Guess not!
Enjoy your one night ratings boost guys…
not to appear like a fake reich-wing marxbot senor olbermann-kennedy has turned over all his private property to the klepto-castro regime in cuba. he displays extreme bravery bypassing the
kennedy property exemption he holds.
I wrote this post on my blog a few days ago:
http://hyphenatedamericans.blogspot.com/
Keith Olberman is making a very strong case against Obama
In this video, you can see Keith Olbemann from GE controlled MSNBC unloading on Scott Brown: “In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees.”
Now, in all fairness, we must note that while Brown is accused of being mean, his opponent, Martha Coakley, a state prosecutor, is undeniably guilty of keeping an innocent man in jail for two years. A truly objective observer would be torn apart between hurting Keith’s feelings and voting for the cruel, immoral ( and possibly criminal) prosecutor.
But lets ignore everything that Keith did not tell his listeners, and instead take at a face value what he did say. He continued his rant with the following explosive statement: “In any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead, the commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States.”
So, what’s so special about this “time in our history”? Why is it, that the people in the most “progressive” state of Massachusetts, the state which is most pro-homosexual, pro-women, anti-racist and anti-violence ignored Obama’s teary pleas to help his liberal policies, and instead voted for the “irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman”? Just how horrible should president Obama and his policies be that the moderates and independents in Massachusetts would choose such Scott Brown? Why is it, when given a choice between an “irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman” and Obama’s preferred candidate, people with a huge margin pick the “irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman”?
Any takers on this puzzle? Liberals and “Progressives” are most welcome to explain this conundrum.
ROFL
Lots of us tuned to them to see them melt, cry, whine, bitch, name call everyone who dosnt think like them, and be even more nasty than usual.
All we did was help their ratings!!!!
Open minded??? Most close minded people i know are on the left…tv, radio and my friends who are on the left!!!
Skeeziks:
I watched the video link you posted. I missed Fox claiming that Obamas children were actually his grandchildren. The rest of it, though critical of your hero, seemed pretty substantive. The only one who might need to tone down a little is Beck.
Matthews is your professor at a marginal college, “sneering at the right,” but he at least has a brain, even if its all on his left side.
Maddow is your older sister who reads fiction but never touches hard news or non-fiction (“its boring”).
But Olbermann….Matthews drips disdain, but Olbermann oozes hatred; Maddow thinks we’re all wrong, but Olbermann would march opponents to re-ed camps. He has no background in or understanding of history, economics or why government historically is a menace.
Maybe he’s trying to be a leftist Spiro Agnew. But the voters are the ones that sent his beloved Teddy (a man who in an earlier age would indeed have been “laughed off the stage”, at the very least as a poor driver and worse swimmer), to the senate for decades: but Olbermann cannot figure it out.
MSNBC has stained cable news with marginal or worse people and biased line ups. Sad.
#21: No cable or satellite? How do you live man?
FOX can be insufferably stupid at times. Especially during the day, they tend to descend to the supermarket tabloid level, with breaking news of car chases, goats born with three heads, celebrity babies, etc.
And they fall short of the old “objectivity” ideal (which some think is outdated, but I disagree) which, if we’re honest with each other, we have to admit that no news outlet even comes close to, if indeed any ever did. So there is a grain of truth in the Left’s accusations of “opinion journalism.”
And yet, watching MSNBC–or even CNN or any of the paleo-networks–will reveal that their commentators are angry over the mote in Fox’s eye, while being blinded by the 2×4 protruding out of their own.
MSNBC is an irredeemable circus of left-wing propaganda and left-wing emotional catharsis. It is so far beyond mere “bias” that it doesn’t even rise to the level of “advocacy journalism,” because it hardly rises to the level of “journalism” at all. It is about nothing so much as venting whatever emotion is overwhelming on any given night.
And as dumb as Fox can be at times, they still have Special Report. There is no finer television program that deals with political and societal analysis. One reason for this is that Special Report comes closer to that old-fashioned standard of balance than anyone else, and which the harpies of MSNBC flout, all while making a show of bemoaning “opinion journalism.”
I’m tempted to try and explain all this by what I have seen for a long time as a key difference between the left-wing and conservative psychologies: The conservative psychology deals in common sense and facts, while the Leftist psychology is solipsistic.
The conservative tends to seek out actual facts (and sometimes falls far short of that goal) and tries to separate the knowable from the not knowable; he tends (again, failing sometimes) to try and separate facts from his feelings about the facts.
A person of the leftist persuasion, by contrast, tends to seek out validation for his feelings. If facts are inconvenient, their existence is ignored; if they’re convenient, they are blown up out of all proportion. His feelings are what give facts their very existence in the first place.
I was disappointed no one at MSNBC actually had a head explosion.
I am so glad I have read this article (excellent) and respective commentary, except the progressive lad telling me to be ashamed for watching FOX News (I’m not).
I thought for the better part of a day that I had singular unexplained sickness enjoying the comic relief of watching MSNBC implode. However, I left somewhat disappointed evening before last due to the fact the staff couldn’t dredge up the never right but always arrogant Nobel winner Paul Krugman to explain the train wreck, including his take on teabaggers being nothing but a a jackbooted gang of racist rednecks, and how Americans secretly wanted Obamacare.
I also required Paul’s take about how progressives had announced Conservatism dead for a generation and wandering in the wilderness as recently as last spring. Somehow, time compressed.
When Bush was the President, the msm always refer to him as Mr Bush
never affording him with the proper title he rightfully deserved.
It was as to recognize him as not the president.
Kind of a way to belittle him. Unlike Obama at every turn the msm
calls him by illegally gotten title.
Soon we will know if under false pretense Obama was elected.
Don’t worry, if Obama is removed and hauled off to jail, we still
have Biden who will be more than happy to take his place.
Check the lates on WND.COM
It would appear all of you viewing MSNBC for the potential trainwreck will be surprised to learn that it did not dent FNC ratings. I just looked at the numbers for Tuesday night and FNC beat them all with 5 times more viewers…..Matter of fact both Sean and Greta had more viewers than ABC and NBC programs which includes Jay Leno. Hannity had over 6.3 million viewers.
Don’t know if keith olbermann ever reads articles or comments at Pajamas Media. But my observance is that, based on the bitterness he quite consistently expresses, one might be left to wonder who has been tea-bagging him (or perhaps he is himself the tea bag, smacked onto the demoncraticparty collectively). In any case, if anybody really cannot find much better to do than waste time listening to keith’s diatribes, that individual deserves the misery that results from having olbermann/junk/speak bandying about in his/her brain. YES, I made the mistake of listening to olbermann once or twice, BUT NO MORE!!! I’d rather listen to ANYONE who is more positive and less vitriolic than that BIMBO!!!
Yes, I remember Keith Olbermann on ESPN in the early 80.s, he was a fantastic sports reporter. I do not think he is as good at the political thing, but still a great speaker. He is just not as loony as the whacko right guys like hannity and limbaugh, hence, not as entertaining. Also, I visit all shades of reporting and news, from the far left to the t-bag right like pjm. I think its important to see all sides. We should not be afraid to learn about what others think. By doing that, we get a more “refined” view. Only cultist types dont like people to learn others’ points of view. Learn baby learn….thats my motto. What’s yours?
Not only are Madcow, Olberwoman and Mr. Tingle members of the Kool-Aid drinkers of the month club
but they really should be dressed in pom poms and short cheerleader skirts. Or maybe the best comparison
you can make of them is clowns only the mother of John Gacy could love.
I was fascinated, though, and chuckled at how wrong they were about possible Democratic reaction to the Brown win.
While those MSNBC boobs were delving into ways Democrats could save StealthCare, later real Dems got on TV including
Obama and decided to go in a very conciliatory, measured direction. Pledging to seat Brown first and then deciding what to do
remembering that the American people are ready to figuratively lynch the bunch of them for trying to shove
a hugely unpopular piece of putrid StealthCare cursedlation down America’s throat.
Getting back to the MSNBC’ers, even in their extreme bias, they’re inaccurate as can be. The times have passed them by. These fetid maggots from MSNBC are pitiful, lost, confused, talentless pukes that should all be sent out to pasture. Or all placed for the rest of
their born days into the witless protection program before somebody fires cream pies into each of their plastic faces.
Firing is too good for them.
skeeziks is just mad because Scott Brown’s victory revealed so starkly what America truly values. I mean this is Massa freaking chusetts! If Massachusetts is through with Obama, it’s a done deal for the rest of the nation. This just made it official.
They insult the Browns, they insult Curt Schilling, they insult Fenway, and even the President of the United States has free time to go up and give the beat down on a guy’s truck?! Are they kidding us? Why does he think mocking the very citizens he is to be serving is a good strategy. He shows who he really is every time he marginalizes the citizens of this country. Why does he even want to be President when he despises the very people he was elected to serve? When you hate a country enough, I guess you want to rule it to overthrow it?
And whatever some might feel about the Tea Party movement, I would be careful to make such light mockery of their name. What has our country become when being mocked for being patriotic in light of the American Revolution is the highest form of journalism? I guess that’s what people do that really hate their own country – or hate the history of their country, or simply don’t even know the history.
And good grief Poor Citizen – you want to be taken seriously with tripe like that? You actually don’t think it is important to see all sides, you just want to appear that way in print. Your ‘t-bag’ doth give you away.
Hah! I had a great time watching MSNBC election night. All my family from Texas and Arizona called right after Coakley conceded, told them what fun it was to watch Olbermann, Matthews and Maddow. We’re planning to all get together in November for a MSNBC Election Night party! They could replace Seinfeld…great comedy!
Hey skeeziks, im just curious, what part of that youtube link to fox news commentators is not true?
We await your answer…………..
Anyway, I’d like to thank Skeeziks #17 for that medley from FOX–I’m also ready for another year (many more) of the same! Media Matters does a really good job of piecing together these clips, summarizing conservative talk shows, etc. I don’t know what they think they are proving or accomplishing by spreading our word, but it’s their time and money.
well, ok poor citizen, let me try it with you also, please tell us what part of Rush’s analysis of events is not true……..HUHHHHH?
We await your answer also……….hehehe
MR.TOTO:It’s fun to watch three,largely ignored, impotent syphillitics,ranting out their stalinist biases,while deploring the gradual destruction of the clown whose boots they lick.it’s almost as much fun as provoking the libtard trolls who attempt to infest PJM.
After reading all the comments I’ll just have to go to MSNBC to see what I’m not missing! Sounds like fun watching lib commentators implode
PA Bred,
Do so with caution, and then best enjoyed when it is either really bad news for Obama, MSNBC and the “progressive” party. Watching Keith Ogremann is a little like sitting in the audience watching a combination of Andrew Dice Clay, Roseanne Barr, and really bad Shakespearean theater at an elementary school.
You will be personally offended at the vile delivery, aghast at the lack of tact and class, mortified at the utter ignorance, and a little embarrassed for an actor out of his league, who thinks there’s a future in theater as he pretends to be the poet.
Air America, the leftist answer to Limbaugh and the like, signed off the air today after filing Chapter 7.Their stated reason was the drop in advertising revenue due to the bad economy.Pretty funny stuff considering the success of Fox News and conservative talk radio.Here’s a hint for the slow learners on the left.The specious programming/news content, that the majority of the American public rejects is the sole reason for your failure.
Sooner or later it will catch up to MSNBC, and the discredited dinosaur media too.Your target demographic is what, 20% or so of the population self identifying as “progressive”.Do the math geniuses and consider yourself as having been “tea bagged”.
hey poor citizen and skeeziks,,still waiting for you answers to my very clear questions…….hehehe
You liberal clowns are soooooo predictable…….
I’d agree with you fully except that you forfeited any claim to a moral position when you admitted that you are a fan of the Evil Empire. As far as I’m concerned, the only question that anyone need ask about the Yankees is whether they are a metaphor for evil or the embodiment of it.
That said, I don’t watch any of the cable news channels very much except for breaking news, a space shot, or that sort of thing. But O’Reilly and even Hannity habitually have panels of three commentators and at least one is a Democrat or liberal. MSNBC and to a lesser extent CNN often do not do that. Fox may or may not be “fair and balanced” but it has a better claim to that than the others.
funny, because I watch FOX for the trainwreck.
Best comedy show on TV: Fox & Friends — just when you think one is the dumbest ever, another one talks and then the third one rounds it out for an all-out tie! But my personal fave is the Deuce!
Worst comedy show: RedEye. beyond pathetic.
Last 4 or so minutes of Beck: priceless. his earnest talk to the camera in that voice… eyeroll gold!
ah, to each its own, though.
I LOVE RedEye! That is brilliant programming. Why is it on so late? It is LMAO good!
Some sneering elitist up there knocked stories about three-headed goats. What’s your problem, Mr. Pointy-Headed Intellectual?
Comcast will drop MSNBC in a heartbeat. General Electric will regret putting those putrid clowns on cable as payment for the corrupt Obama Administration’s favors. Cap and Trade is dead. Global Warming is over. Scientists are discredited shills. Russia looks circumspect. GE better fire up the plants making incandescent light bulbs. They have already gone off in our heads … no fools are we.
# 62: Hey Banjo, you pay attention to what’s important to you and I’ll pay attention to what’s important to me.
#60 AVOIDS WORK: Tell me, do you also avoid your govt. welfare check,or is to OK take money from the “dunces” ?
I switched to CNN for a few minutes. They also were giving the spin of a weak local candidate and the results had nothing to do with BHO’s policies etc, but they tend to be a bit more subtle than MSNBC about it.
i gave up on msnbc sometime ago. i believe the comcast purchase is indeed in the works. i don’t know when the takeover will be. if they keep these goofy people on, then i have to think they want something from obama as well.
53. whosebone:
What part is not true?
All of it. I await your proof otherwise – hehehe
Here’s the difference between MSNBC and FOX. When Olberman goes over the top, he stops, examines his comments, and then admits it. When Glenn Beck says Scott Brown’s “daughters” remark will result in a dead intern, he gets called on it, but doesn’t admit it. Instead, he says it was a joke. Olberman is a man. Beck is a pussy. Feel free to extrapolate.
Have you heard of Miracle Fruit? It contains a glycoprotein that affects you taste buds so that sour and bitter flavors taste sweet.
I seem to have something similar going on because when I tuned into MSNBC on Tuesday night to watch them weep bitterly over Scott Brown’s election, their tears tasted as sweet as honey.
I didn’t like Beck’s comment about the intern thing. That WAS out of line and just out of nowhere. It was uncomfortable that Scott Brown said his daughters were available. I cringed a tiny bit, but chalked it up to being overly excited about his shocking win. Just an off the cuff comment after a long campaign. It’s just a jokey kind of thing from Brown. From Beck, it was just unnecessary. I wouldn’t call Glenn Beck a ‘pussy’ though.
