Has MSNBC turned into $%@&ing Romneyvision????

I only have 15 t0 20 minutes in the morning for a cup of coffee and a few minutes of news before I leave the house. Since I turned the TV on it has been Romney speaking at some speech in VA. Saying the same things he's said for the past six years. Why in the hell is he getting 20 full minutes on MSNBC?

I am not stupid and notice how often the newscasters say a Pro Obama statement but then give the Repubs all the air time they want to refute it. There often isn't even a Democrat voicing the opposite view. That's the reason I stopped watching CNN. Now I'm getting just as mad at morning MSNBC.

I just want equal time.

And I want Romney (still talking) to shut the $&@* up and stop ruining my morning!!

I hate liars, and if rMoney's lips are moving then he is lying. The dude can't put two sentences together without telling a lie. Nov 7 can't come fast enough. Mittens is destroying our country as we speak, normally presidential candidates never do that but not this liar. We should be coming together as a country after disasters not more divided. And I hold Mittens rMoney responsible! Liar liar pants on fire.

But I thought I read the real President is speaking later today, I'll tune in then, he is honest but when that other dude talks my lying-o-meter goes off the scale and my brain hurts, I mean come on man a person can only taken being lied to so much. Damn I need advil and the weather channel is getting, the liar needs to hurry up and finish lying so I can turn the news back on.

as I worked at my computer. I couldn't concentrate. Romney is extremely difficult to listen to, even in the background. Too distracting to work.

I had the same thought - MSNBC should be covering news but the entire speech?

I like Alex Wagner a lot, Tamron Hall most of the time. The Cycle is unwatchable because of SE Cupp, I DVR Martin Bashir. Mrs Greenspan, Chuckie & others are awful.

IT's amazing what a nice day I'm having today since I decided to keep my television OFF. I've done everything I needed to do regarding this election, and now I'm just going to wait to see BO re-elected! I sincerely do not need to watch ANY talking heads on television, particularly Chuckie Toad & Andrea Mitchell. Even some of the moderators on MSNBC have been getting on my nerves, BUT I HAVE been quite irritable lately. I guess that's what happens when one sees too many images of Mitt Romney's whoring for votes!

Example. Hosts of 'Morning Joe' are not newscasters, they are commentators who comment on political news. They are in essence, bullshitters around current events as long as those events are political. They do not report huge stories that are not directly tied to American electoral politics. Not the news, just opinion.
MSNBC is not a news station. Do you see reporters? Does you Joe introduce their in depth report from a staff member, prepared for the show to communicate facts? No. They just say shit. That is their job, to just say shit. They are not reporting the news, it is not a news show. It is commentary on political issues, only political issues. Only commentary. Facts are presented only to be discussed, commented upon, exploited to create fodder that fills air time.
