The Journal Sentinel reported on Monday that the probe grew out of leads discovered during an earlier investigation of aides who served Gov. Scott Walker (R) during his time as Milwaukee County executive. That case ended with six people convicted on criminal charges.

All I recall from morning blow this AM, was Mika DID get a real life person on the phone when she called the health care hot line, but joe still continued to only talk about the disaster the website was. And there was some sports talk, a little GQ and some JFK talk.
Gee I wonder why joe never mentioned the article about his bud walker. Why Joe?

(15,438 posts)without mentioning the corruption and illegalities surrounding him! It only underscores my contention that Corporate Media - ALL corporate media, which includes MSNBC - are in 100% support of Republicans no matter what.
Just think ... if Walker were a Democrat, would they be as remiss about reporting the fraud and illegalities surrounding him when reporting on him? Don't think so. *They'll lead in every single segment with, "Walker, Democratic Governor of Wisconsin who is plagued with corrupted underlings ...".
But when it's a Republican ... nothing but praise is good enough.

(2,679 posts)its all joe would have talked about. But it also explains why when there is bad news about baggers faux talks about the sex trade Obama started and the ever giving war on Christmas.

(15,438 posts)That's no secret to anyone, and it's expected that they'll propagandize lies in order to protect their preferred pols.
But Joe has a three-hour show on MSNBC, and he's not the only one on that so-called "liberal cable news source" who constantly omits the ugliness surrounding Walker, and that's the danger here.
People buy into that well-propagated lie that MSNBC is as partisan as Faux News when nothing can be further from the truth. The entire morning is dedicated to pro-Republican/anti-Democratic/anti-Obama reports and only around noon (here on the West Coast) do they begin to even out a bit with "The Cycle". But even then, the progressives on the evening line-up are loathed to mention the lawsuits against Walker's underlings who define his political career. I had to read about it here, thanks to you, and I'm an avid MSNBC viewer!

(2,679 posts)In the morning MSNBC mostly leans right, with morning blow and toadie. Thomas Roberts, Alex Wagner and Tamara Hall are why even bother with MSNBC before 3pm.
After 3pm MSNBC finally starts to lean left with The Cycle. By 4pm the really good shows start, Martin Bashir, The Ed Show, Al Sharpton, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. On the weekends I love Disrupt with Karen Finney and UP with Steve Kornacki and of course Melisa Perry Harris.
I wished they would ditch the prison shows and the caught on camera stuff.
Faux news is all right wing spin 24/7

(15,438 posts)Yet the propaganda being spread about MSNBC is saying that MSNBC is as partisan as Faux News Channel. I still don't understand how anybody can honestly say that given that Joe has a three-hour show, Chuck Todd has an hour show, Andrea Mitchell-Greenspan has an hour show, and Tamara Hall is pretty much right-leaning. Only Thomas Roberts and Alex Wagner are pretty much in the middle or lean left at times.
Yep. I'd love to see MSNBC ditch that prison-porn and caught-on-camera crap. Oh, and I'm a fan of Karen Finney and UP with Steve Kornacki, too!

(525 posts)I just read an opinion article in the Walkersha Freeman by Todd Robert Murphy that maybe Wanker shouldn't run for a 2nd term and focus on the presidential election. The piece goes on to say that Wanker could win or lose by a narrow margin. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but it sounded to me that Wanker and friends are afraid that he could lose the governor's seat.
