I have to watch stupid FOX news because MSNBC has their nightly prison program on...

[fadedrose]

It might be the same program they show all the time, who knows, they all look the same.


Fox, as crummy as it is, at least has Clinton-Obama stuff on.

Bad MSNBC, bad, bad, bad

And you call yourselves a news station - like hell you are.

Friday to Monday garbage all day long.....

1. Hi, fadedrose. Do you ever watch PBS?

I'm listening to Bill Moyers tonight, talking about the election, the war and the media. He' great. :)

[fadedrose]

4. Thanks,

It has a music program on now, pledge week I think.

At this time of day, I never remember to watch it, sometimes after supper, but not during the campaign for some reason.

Have been off schedule since the Michigan infamous primary...

(But, Keith Olberman likes to brag about beating Fox every once in a while - why doesn't he recognize why FOX is No. 1 - I know why, they ALWAYS have news that I don't watch unless I'm desperate and don't show 2 days of prison life.)

[EFerrari]

11. Well, at least those prison shows are an upgrade from

all those serial killer shows!

I think Moyers has a web site where you can check out the schedule in your time zone. He's just terrific. His guests are interesting because they always know their stuff and no one else ever has them on. :)

19. If it is the Irish lads you should watch it

if you like that type of music. I have watched it, because....well, I like their voices and they are cute in a young man kind of way. (anyone under fifty are kids to me) I like the Irish lassies also when they had them on PBS also. I must have something for the Irish. Who would have thunk. :rofl:

[jojo54]

2. Then don't watch them, ESPECIALLY Faux Noise.

Stay here on DU and you'll get all the facts you need or watch Bill Moyer and BBC America.

[fadedrose]

6. I only watch Fox for 1/2 hour per month - that's all I can stand...

then I get provoked and send MSNBC nasty emails...

[AlCzervik]

3. well it's a mostly opinion show channel with some ***news*** here and there.

[Hippo_Tron]

23. Fox weather reporting...

"You know I'd have to check, but didn't this hurricane vote for Kerry in 2004?"

[AlCzervik]

24. "Do democrats cause cancer, find out on Fox medical update"

[Maccagirl]

5. No, you don't "have" to watch Faux News-ever.

n/t or explanation needed.

[fadedrose]

8. I changed it a while back because I couldn't stand that lady's shiny lipstick...:)

[fadedrose]

10. Actually, I don't watch Fox hardly ever, never would be more accurate

But I know that some people at MSNBC read this website and was hoping to wake some of them up as to how pathetic their weekend programming is.

[EFerrari]

15. That's pretty sneaky.

:)

I've honestly almost posted the same thread in GD. "Hey, MSNBC, why do you want to put me in prison? How cheap ARE YOU?"

LOL

[rebel with a cause]

20. they're weekend schedule is horrid!

Why are the news channels only opinion shows and thing like these prison shows? Did they take up the slack from court tv or something? Sometimes I will even watch CNN on weekends for a short time, if it is something I can stomach. NO FAUX!!

[EFerrari]

21. I've become a LINK TV addict. They have a website

with a posted schedule. Also, on the weekends, CSPAN 2 has "BookTV" where authors talk about new books and take questions for half an hour or so. They have a site, too, booktv.org. Makes the weekends much nicer. :)

[rebel with a cause]

22. thanks. n/t

[Trajan]

7. It's Friday night ....

Try a symphony .... a play in a small theater ... a movie .... visit a bookstore ...

Hell ... watch the paint dry : ANYTHING but watching faux ....

[blonndee]

9. UGH, I hate that prison porn.

That crap belongs on FOX, ironically enough.

ETA: You could watch CNN. That's what I have on right now. It's reruns, but at least it's not To Catch a Predator or aforementioned Lockup, or worse: dreadful FOX.

[cynatnite]

12. I've got Stargate SG-1 on SciFi channel...Faux news will not get my business n/t

[bluestateguy]

13. MSNBC is obsessed with prisons

And of course the prison guards are ALWAYS the good guys.

Uh huh. Yeah.

[Fox Mulder]

14. I have Faux News blocked on my cable.

I'll never watch it.

[fadedrose]

17. I watch Fox news ONLY when KO shows some outrageous item on his program

otherwise I wouldn't know anything about it....

This post is mainly a gripe to MSNBC...

I'm an avid reader thank goodness, but on the pc, I enjoy a background of TV news..

[Speck Tater]

16. "Have to"? What, you don't have the Cartoon Network? nt

[Moochy]

18. Don't Slip Up, CITIZEN ! (this could happen to you!)

MSNBC is showing you the consequences of bad actions!!! :sarcasm:

In all honesty I know of no reason why they dominate the afterhours schedule.

[lxlxlxl]

25. ALTERNATIVES -- Internet mostly

I only watch TV with my family, but I sympathize with you.

Face it, TV is pretty worthless.

I think everyone should listen to Ian Masters's show on KPFK. Google it...He has great guests on every week and you are bound to learn something.

I like Counterspin by FAIR also, and Behind the News by Doug Henwood.

[global1]

26. Boy - Am I Glad Others Feel The Same Way I Do About MSNBC.........

they call themselves a news channel - but really don't have 24/7 news. There alternate programming sucks. I can't believe they get good ratings on any of the prison shows and then you have the predator shows that are equally as bad. Maybe when first aired it was informative - but now they are just getting annoying. I look to a news channel to broadcast the news. I turn to ABC at one point at night - because they have some good news coverage and not these stupid specials.

[LTR]

27. My suggestion? TURN OFF THE NEWS!!!

I mean really, it's Friday night, fer cryin' out loud!

Sometimes I get so tired of the shit that I just have to put in a good flick or turn on anything NOT related to news or politics. Let's face it, they're really just playing the same shit over and over again, or putting on boring pundits you're likely to ignore anyways.

Granted, I know the people here are political junkies, but for the sake of sanity, sometimes you just gotta get away from it. Again, TURN THAT SHIT OFF!

[Donkey_Punch_Dubya]

28. Why not CNN instead?

Much better than fox news. And better than MSNBC in my opinion.

[aaaaaa5a]

29. I've posted about this many times before...

I just don't get it. The entire network takes the weekend off!

I almost wish MSNBC could issue and official statement as to why they can't work weekends. And what is their obsession with prisons sbout!

[southern_belle]

30. HGTV is cool.

Just Sayin' :shrug:
