FUCK YOU MSNBC!!!
I mentioned this in a comment, but thought it worthy of its own thread.

Fuck you, MSNBC, for cutting off Obama's speech so you could air your stupid, fear-mongering Doc Block prison shows, while letting McCain and his barbie doll finish their speeches.

Don't think we don't know how you propagandists operate...

1. In all fairness, MSNBC could be trying to distance itself from Obama.
They've been accused, rightly or wrongly, by some of being biased for Obama. While there could be a certain amount of truth to it, MSNBC is still the only cable news network I can stand to watch.

2. MSNBC tore the repukes apart all week last week and fawned over Obama
Some people are just never happy. I'll take 10 MSNBCs before I'll take 10 MINUTES of FAUX. This is the network who gave Rachel Maddow her own show for gawds sake!

5. Brace yourself
Rachel will have to make a hard pivot to the center to make her handlers happy on TV. Don't expect to see an Air America version of the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.

7. I don't
I expect to see the version of her I've gotten used to over the last few months on MSNBC. She's ready for prime time.

12. Rachel is very talented - don't get me wrong!
I just wonder if she'll really like TV - Lots of masters to serve there.

13. Agreed.
Will TV like her? LOTS of masters there. The viewing public can be very fickle.

6. Depends what time of the day one is watching.....
cause in the morning to mid afternoon, MSNBC detests Barack Obama.

14. Matthews, Maddow, and Olbermann
Lauded several of the convention speakers and Matthews nearly broke into tears after Obamas. If you didn't see it, fine, but don't assume I'm full of shit.

16. MSNBC has been fawning over Obama since last October. Sometimes they like McCain...
better. But they've given Obama great PR for nearly a year.

15. look at the positive side
showing the trainwreck that is John McCain on the stump was hilarious, and Palin was pretty damn uninteresting as she repeated her exact "PTA to Reformer" speech from yesterday.
