Jon Stewart leaving/Bill O’Reilly staying

[Cyrano]

Jon Stewart is perhaps the greatest “weapon” we liberals have/had in our arsenal. Now we’re losing him.

O’Reilly is perhaps one of the most despicable creatures on TV. But he’s not going anywhere.

Every time you think it can’t get worse, it does. Either the gods are screwing with our heads, or this planet is a bad dream directed by Quentin Tarantino.

1. Losing Colbert hurt too.

And Olbermann back in 2008.

2. It was 2011...

...but I LOVE your avatar!!!

3. Yep. MSNBC also fired Phil Donahue for

the crime of truth telling. He told us that the Iraq "war" was bullshit and that Bush/Cheney were the scum of the earth. How dare he speak the truth to the American public?? Doesn't he know that America has been privatized?

6. Donahue was too cerebral

in the era of Jerry Springer and Sally Jesse Raphael. Are there any programs that encourage thought and reflection any more? The emotional pap appeal is wearing thin ...

and making me feel all [font color="red" face="algerian"]angry[/font] inside.

[font color="gray"]Maybe that's the point.[/font]

4. Bill Moyers is gone too

5. Moyers was the best of what used to be

called Journalism.

I find it incredible that so many people buy into the Fox propaganda. But as H.L. Mencken said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."

Sigh.
