I just emailed MSNBC
and told them if I wanted the Republican Talking Points of the day I would watch FoxNews, so they have lost our household as loyal viewers.

The 2 reporterettes this morning, Alex Witt and the one who used to be on CNN, we spouting the Repub line about Bush being the Saviour of the Gulf Coast then then were practically crying about how wonderful he was walking down the street in Biloxi on Friday and talking to 'surprised victims'. You remember the 2 girls who had their hair and makeup done and were not the least but surprised to see Herr King- it was obviously a KKKarl Rove set-up photoop.

Told them MSNBC was now MSFOX and we were gone (except for Keith, of course).

1. Good for you. I knew it is too good to be true.
When we take power again, it's time to go after the network monopolies. Take a page from Teddy Roosevelt, "Bust the Information Trusts!"

Also, how about boycotting all things General Electric, owners of the "NBC's"

...and siphons yours...don't pay them their monthly extortion money and they'll have to PAY attention when they have no profit margin...just tuning out and telling them about it won't do anything.

5. And pushing the propaganda of an unpopular president
Is getting ratings how?

Continue to turn them off and tell them so. We own the internet through activism..let's now take back the media.

6. Witt Has Always Been This Way...
There's still Anderson Cooper and Christian Amanpour. They did a fantastic job last night on CNN! As I watched with my jaw dropping!

I think many of them are still outraged, if not then we have to hit harder!!!

If you haven't noticed... DU has gotten a lot of coverage at different places of late. And no, I don't have specifics, just recall reading them mentioned at different news sites. Anyone who has links... post them.

9. Do they know that when he went to Biloxie
he brought props with him, like a Salvation Army food distribution center which disappeared after he left? Just heard it on AAR from Laura Flanders. It seems he told a woman who was hungry, to go there to get food. She was confused since it had not been there before.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that it had disappeared along with AF1. They BETTER start telling the truth ~ this is not Iraq, this is the US and the lies they told about Iraq are only beginning to surface ~ this is the US and there are rat-eaten bodies of US citizens all over three red Southern States.

Wow, Gen. Honore just called Chertoff's claim that there were security issues in the area, preventing help from getting in, BS!! He, the Gen. asked the reporter if she had had any problems with security. She said 'NO'! He asked citizens to come there, there is no security issue. Chertoff tried to contradict him, the Gen. walked off the platform. Chertoff then said 'I'm going to follow the Gen.'. The CNN anchor said 'Yes, you better follow the General'.. Great, the military is now telling them where to go!!

10. I did also...
Clearly, it is "damage control" and Rove's tentacles are all over it.

11. What email did you use - I'd like to send them this thread
We get 20,000 hits a day here and I think they should know that.

I went over and there are several emails. Do you remember which one you used?
