Come on MSNBC, don't you have an intern that could use

Andrea Greenspan's hour. She is bad and getting worse. They book "right leaners" and they run over her. If it weren't for the fact that she blinks once in awhile, I would swear she's in a coma.
rethugs come on her program, read their talking points and then go to commerical...
Thanks for all your help you fuckin prune.

She's utterly useless, and she shills for the AlwaysWrongRight, allowing them to pontificate endlessly while cutting off Democratic strategists (like Stephanie Cutter yesterday).

People who continue to claim that MSNBC is like Fox "News" Propaganda, only needs to tune in the mornings from three hours worth of Morning Joe on to Mrs. Greenspan's hourly segment.

Also, that Latino who is filling in for Tamaron Hall needs to go. He's a little too right-leaning for me and Ms. Hall is anything but.

I'm sick of her too. It's just an hour in the middle of the day that hardly anybody watches but It gets mighty old seeing blatant lies from the righties go completely unchallenged - especially on msnbc.

Why even bother trying to appear balanced at this point. Just make sure people get the truth - isn't that what real news people are suppose to do? Fucking money corrupts everything.

Just replace "propaganda" with "MSNBC":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

---Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes.

As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare.---
