Watching MSNBC: WOW!!! Who are these people?
They are telling more truth than I have heard since this illegal war began. Deborah Norvell is a really great interviewer. She make Zhan look like floozie.

Lots of great insight on this show. Discussing how images (pictures) have changed public opinion throughout history.

Wonderful show.

1. It is very, very good isn't it.
The guests have all been repeating the illegal way in which this war started. They have also been pointing out that it isn't the pictures that is going to define the * presidency, it is the entire illegal war. One failure piled on top of another.

These guys are great!

3. She almost acts like a a a , dare I say it.....a JOURNALIST
a REPORTER. Someone who wants ANSWERS.

Maybe they finally figured out that our country is in mortal danger from the dweebs in this administration.

8. That's what I said. Haven't seen that in a very long time.
I don't know how to take it. We should email her and commend her.

7. I always thought Norville was a conservative... She seems to be..
be one of the very few talking heads who is actually acting like a journalist. Maybe I'll send her an email.

9. I was mesmerized....
Every guest had something to say about the lies leading up to the war or the myth of the US moral high ground. Basically saying the age of full disclosure is upon us and any attempt to hide the truth in this age of instant communication is doomed to fail. It was great to see.

13. I didn't get the names but
one of the guys (I think) was the Life Magazine Viet Nam Death Issue, showing (252?) troops who died in one week. Very good show, if it repeats, please watch.

11. Lies may be "doomed", but thousands of people died
thanks for posting what is being said on the program, as I can't receive it.

Sounds like some of the media is getting a clue.

Guess we all need to write/call, and let them know this honesty is what we want!

18. Thanks. My email to Norville..
I have been very skeptical of watching cable "news" shows because the "personalities" of the talking heads frankly repulse me. Most of them are very biased and they don't bother to hide it.

A bunch of us at a liberal blog observed your show tonight. We all independently concluded that you have been doing a fabulous job with your new show. You are giving us something we haven't seen on cable in years. Namely, "journalistic integrity." You provide unbiased reporting and unnbiased interviews. I personally feel like I'm in an alternate universe when I watch your show. No smirks. No snideness. No one posture when speaking with members of one political party over another. Please continue the good work. When word gets about about your "journalistic" (haven't used that word in ages) integrity I am sure your ratings will grow.

21. What little glimpses I've caught of Paula recently..
she seems to be improving a bit. I could be mistaken. She's on my boycott list so I only catch a few minutes of the lead in of her show. If I'm not mistaken, Paula and Norville were rivals. Maybe she's a little bit concerned that Norville will show her up.
