WTF Why in the hell does MSNBC continue to interupt its program for Palin

[grantcart]

She isn't an office holder.

She hasn't issued any policy positions.

This is mind boggling the exposure that they give this nitwit.


Edited to add

They are aware that she is a paid contributor to another network aren't they?

[Uzybone]

1. the liberal favorite MSNBC

[HughMoran]

2. I was waiting for Obama to speak, then I had to flip the TV off

in more ways that one :(

WTF? Who is this joker and why does the media give her so much airtime? She's nobody.

[HillbillyBob]

12. Me too. I had to turn it off or throw something at the tv

nt

[jezebel]

3. Wall to wall coverage on cable. CNN and Fox are covering her too. nt

[Supersedeas]

13. Makes you wonder: MSNBC, ABC, and CNN giving a Fox News Host so much free campaign...errr...

publicity for her Right Wing news show.

4. Doncha know? According to George Steph, she 'could be'

the 2012 contender. That's their current lame ass excuse.

22. I hope she is. It'll be almost as large an electoral landslide as Reagan/Mondale.

[progressoid]

24. George Stephanopoulos: Next host of Dancing With The Stars.

5. Ratings... Plain And Simpleton...

:shrug:

[EFerrari]

6. Probably because their audience shrinks every day and they're trying to get someone to watch.

[NeedleCast]

7. Because she puts butts in seats

This shouldn't be any secert with our MSM. They don't care what she says as long as its sensational and gets people to tune in. Liberals hate her, Neo-cons love her. She's a can't lose as far as ratings are concerned.

Same reason Bleck and Hannity are always on TV

[chill_wind]

8. Andrea Mitchell- airing the whole thing, Palin droning on and on

without interruption. And on and on.

[chill_wind]

16. Pres Obama on now- on Justice John Paul Stevens

Finally!

[Mike Daniels]

9. She's overexposed given that she doesn't hold office but....

if this gives opposition teams more material to work with in the primaries and (god forbid) the general election then fine by me. I can always choose not to expose myself to the twit's rambling.

[rcrush]

10. Cause its cable news

You are watching garbage covering garbage.

[madrchsod]

11. i`m watching some Norwegians lifting a oil rig deck.....

far more interesting

[liberalmuse]

14. I hate this bitch.

I truly, truly hate her and wish she'd get mauled by a wolf or a moose. Or perhaps stuck in a turkey grinder. She just needs to go the fuck away. She is the face of the worst and most stupid elements in this country. The fact that our media gives this stupid c*nt any credence at all shows that they are less than useless - a corporate-owned entity meant to dumb-down America so we remain mindless consumers.

[butterfly77]

21. Oh Boy! You hit my points exactly.

I have been holding back from posting I was screaming at the tv because this stupid BITCHq! Is throwing out wolf tickets her ass can't cash...STUPID,IGNORANT,BITCH.I can't wait...

[defendandprotect]

15. Schultz, Olbermann, Maddow . . . also give immense time to Palin stories!!! I don't get it --

[Hepburn]

17. Trying to lure idiots away from Faux Snooze???

:shrug:

[karynnj]

18. But didn't they do that when Edwards spoke in 2006 - the person in the parallel situation?

Oh - they didn't.

[Stagecoach]

19. Use reverse psychology

Palin keeps saying how she dislikes the MSM, yet the MSM keeps airing her, hoping eventually she'll say she likes the MSM....which her people know as long as she keeps saying she dislikes the MSM, the MSM will continue paying attention to her.

It's no different than guys like Limbaugh, and such mentioning the "liberal media"....Limbaugh knows the media isn't liberal, but he keeps using that phrase because he knows the media doesn't want to be considered to be liberal, so they report things with a "right" slant. So, Limbaugh knows as long as he calls the media liberal, the media will continue to report things in their favor.

[Kceres]

20. I was just about to post the same question.

Both CNN and MSNBC are carrying her drivel. I'm turning off the TV and going for a walk.

[CakeGrrl]

23. And I wonder WHY in the hell anyone wants her to be the 2012 nominee?

Do they really, really want to see the media prop her up every damned chance they get? Because this would be just a taste of things to come.

If people around here who want her to run think the media will 'wise up' come election time and treat her like the idiot she is, they're not thinking clearly.

[virgogal]

25. It's daytime TV. Most people don't watch it anyway.
