My email to MSNBC while watching Martin Bashir.......

[FrenchieCat]

Dear MSNBC,

The fact that most of the pundit talkshows on MSNBC were today leading with this Weiner Non story about some grey underwear, means that MSNBC is offering up evidence that the media is Balloon Boy intellectually bankrupt.

While Americans are hurting financially, devastation has hit Missouri hard, and Republicans are toying with the future of this country for their political gain, MSNBC has chosen to believe that what is most important is a story that is a lot of nothing about nothing that means nothing to most Americans.

This is, once again, a pathetic showing by our "alleged" newsmedia, and the answer as to why this country is in deep trouble. Truth be known, our media stinks and MSNBC is right up there as part of the reason why.

Sincerely,

My question is why did the media publish these photos for the entire world to see, and what were their reasons?

1. K & R. Well said. n/t

2. Bashir is talking about it too

I had hoped he had mended his ways since the Jackson interview. Guess he's part of the problem also.

[FrenchieCat]

3. Yes. He led with this story......

And it was a pathetic display of absolute nothingness.

4. This is exactly why

I rarely turn the TV on during the day and limit my news viewing to O'Donnell and Rachel.

Sometimes I wonder if I am missing much but When I read about stuff like this on DU I know I've made the right decision.

5. Embarrassed to admit it, but

I gave up writing to MSNBC when they insisted on swapping "news" for prison shows.

Glad to know you are hanging in there.

7. K&R

[Shagbark Hickory]

8. +! So true. So very true.

9. Yeah, I just turned Bashir off.

He spent about 20 minutes on the Weiner "story". Interesting that not a peep about Judge Thomas's financial disclosure has made it into the news.

10. Good for you.

:thumbsup:

[Stinky The Clown]

11. Boy. That'll do it.

I bet they call an emergency board meeting to deal with this.

[FrenchieCat]

12. And you say this to say what......

exactly?

How is writing my comments to MSNBC not as effective as
you writing your every thoughts
here at DU? :shrug:

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Oh sna-ap

One of us is under no delusions that what we say matters.

[FrenchieCat]

15. That is correct, much of what we say doesn't matter. So how do you feel about it?

as I see you are still posting a minimum of 4 or 5 OPs per day in sayings that don't matter.....

It is comforting to know you follow my every word.

Say hewwo to fwank for me, okay?

I gotta go out to dinner right now.

Buh bye.

:hi:

[FrenchieCat]

17. I don't follow most of your words......

although I do see your headlines,
since I don't have you on ignore....

But since you decided to give me a bad time
for writing to the media about Wiener,
I decided to give you a bad time about
saying shit that doesn't matter multiple times a day.

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.
