hey MSNBC...If I wanted to watch right wing BS I'd watch FOX

Whom ever is shilling in for Hardball" is making me shake my head & wonder. Who thought the comments by Sen. Durban are to be derided as overly harsh should be the top of your program & how in the hell with a straight face can you dangle such a foolish argument. Distraction??? Yeah & that's all your bringing to the table.

Of course Republicans are racist-sheeesh. Better to look at the facts than start a new mud fight.

But MSNBC just took the Fox road to ratings mana-oh well.
Damn we need a "liberal" media-or at least a fact based one.

totally from MSNBC......so, I missed this and plan to miss the many. many more to come (I believe) RW talking heads.......spewing their bs as the "well-paid corporate host" lets them get away with it all.

I feel the same way..I can go to FOX if I want to hear any of it....I simply won't subject myself anymore.

They've ever so subtly but noticeably been moving to right.
It's apparent in the questions they ask, the guests they bring on
and the side comments they make. I already have Fox blocked
here... I have no tolerance for more Republican bullshit.

On to Al Jazeera, at least they are truly neutral. It doesn't mean they haven't any biases, but not the ones all the RW outlets describe of them...

6. I miss my fart jokes in the AM-Stephanie is on Vacay...NO way would I watch Dead Intern Joe...

And now this-I like when Tweety unwinds a Repuke live. I know his fence is creeky & swings in od fashion. But his outrage is real when he displays it-and usually well placed.

I switched to top Gear reruns-

8. RT network has Thom Hartman on opposite Hardball

Thom goes one on one against right wingers. Free speech Tv which has our Stephanie in the Am with Thom afterwards. I rarely watch daytime MSNBC until Ed Shultz, then Al, switch over to Thom on RT then Chris and Rachel then I am totally burned out.

I live on the west coast but whenever I have been on the East Coast I watch local news never watch the intern murderer. They keep scarbore on because he sucks up to Comcast management. Put John Fuglestang on in his place and the ratings will go up. He's handsome, smart and entertaining. He would crush scarbore.

Thank goodness for Sirrius. It's unfortunate though we have pay to listen to progressive radio. They pulled the popular, money making liberal radio in San Francisco and put on Glen Beck in the am replacing Stephanie Miller.

It's freakin SF ! the most liberal city in the US.!This was a slap to us in SF!

11. Don't expect anything different from the MSM. Just please don't.

Even when the MSM reports truth, it's only a selected view of truth and what it unselects is never addressed. Even w.r.t. the selected truth that it does report, it does it with a spin delivered by professional pundits treated like movie stars, their credentials rarely examined, the wider context of world-wide reportage NEVER even hinted at.

It's a bubble. A thick, thick bubble totally enclosing the English speaking world, the English speaking countries, the "5 eyes", Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
