Romney incident illustrates MSNBC's problem - Article from SF Chronicle that I missed this AM

Ruben Navarette is a right winger Hispanic columnist featured in the SF Chronicle I just read this article as I was enjoying seeing Christie explode on TV and didn't get a chance to read the paper. I just about puked when I read this article.

Mitt Romney says it's time to move on from the controversy involving MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry and his adopted grandson.

I say it's time to turn off MSNBC. Its angry talkers take personal attacks to a new and uglier level. They offend, we recoil. Alec Baldwin was fired and Martin Bashir resigned for making crude comments while hosting shows at the network. And even when Harris-Perry tried to save her job with an apology to the Romney family, she wasn't up front about everything she did wrong.

This is what I wrote back to him:

What happened on MSNBC happens everyday on Fox. They attack the President, poor people, minorities, gay and immigrants. A hit piece like this about MSNBC is laughable considering how Fox has misguided. lied to and divided this country. The reason why this country is so messed up is because of Fox propaganda shrilling for the 1% getting misinformed people to think and vote against the their own best interests. Ms. Navarette is either woefully misinformed, lying or stupid to write this column. This is trash journalism to score conservative points. And shame on the SF Chronicle for printing this piece of garbage.
