Why does MSNBC have Ben Carson on now as a commentator?

[DesertRat]

Andrea Mitchell asking him about the House sit-in, Supreme Court, etc.

[spanone]

1. cause ben is such a brilliant pundit!

[Siwsan]

2. Comic relief??

That would be my guess.

[DesertRat]

4. Unfortunately he's not funny

[Siwsan]

6. I've found him to be unintentionally (on his part) HILARIOUS, at times. Remember the pyramid theory?

And Hilarious because you knew he didn't have a snow ball's chance in hell of ever getting the nomination.

I've long contended that he ran across some stray prions, while performing some of his brain surgeries.

[DesertRat]

17. True, come to think of it

his Egyptian grain silos theory was pretty hilarious.

[Chasstev365]

3. Because MSNBC is No Longer the Last Bastion of a Liberal Voice on Network "News."

God, I miss Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz!

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Never was a bastion of Liberalism.

Couple hours a day,forget about it. This is a GE Media created by Jack Welch. And they to this day ,still have a Libertarian running the show.

[AntiBank]

18. fuck Jack Welch

sorry, Pavlovian response

[Wellstone ruled]

19. What ever.

Look at today's ownership and Management. In that is the comment.

[AntiBank]

20. never figured someone with Wellstone in their name

would step up to the plate and defend ol' Chainsaw Jack, the big daddy of rank and yank, mega war contracting, and financialisation of vast parts of the human sphere

[Wellstone ruled]

21. Wrongo!!!

Would never defend that sucker,what I said was,this is a Welch designed operation and he always ran it out of his back pocket. Old Chainsaw is a workers nightmare. Lived through one of his hit and run deals. And today NBC-MSNBC has not changed since Welch's so called retirement. Still a Neo-Con operation trying to fool people it really cares.

[AntiBank]

22. I stand corrected

I guess I misread your thrust.

cheers

[DesertRat]

8. If they want a Republican, can't they find someone with more political gravitas?

[BumRushDaShow]

7. He needs a job?

[underpants]

9. It's a plot to institute the siesta into Murkan culture

I for one aprrove... of the siesta.

[Cha]

10. Oh gwad.. for ratings?

DesertRat~

[DesertRat]

13. Maybe he'll be Trump's V.P. pick

[Mike Daniels]

11. Can't believe how he defended Trump attacking Hillary's faith

Carson claimed that you only know one's faith by one's actions and their priorities.


I guess Carson hasn't paid much attention to how Trump has made his fortune and what he prioritizes in life.

[DesertRat]

14. And Carson said Trump only attacked his own religion because he was "desperate"

12. It's a shifting to the right wing channel now.

I can't watch it anymore.

[TeamPooka]

15. Because Mitchell is a GOP tool. nt

[tabasco]

16. Because all of the mass media in the USA is owned by plutocrats who wish to increase their wealth.

What do you expect to see on right-wing-owned mass media?

[Rex]

23. The state of mass media.

Sad.
