Fuck em, yeah, fuck you Joe Scarborough,

ITS NOTHING BUT THE MSNBHOCHANNEL

2. Stop crying
Stop crying. They're not paying alot of attention to it b/c there are no delegates. It would be unfair to pay equal attention to the win when there no delegates being awarded. Why are you so angry?

14. Why am I so angry, have you watched the coverage?
it is the way they are slanting it.

You know, I look at this totally differently.

Florida has been off limits to the candidates, it's a great experiment.

No unfair advantages to any candidate, its a clear result.

But I guess they are too stupid to look at it that way.

Fuck em and fuck any obamatons that are sour grapes cause your candidate didn't do very well.

26. ...
Don't you think she won b/c she has a very large name recognition? I mean, many people voted early and didn't know Obama at that time so its alittle unfair that he wasn't able to campaign so people could get to know him there. But you don't think of that right?

33. Unfair Advantages?
Oh yeah, because actually campaigning in a state, that would give certain candidates unfair advantages. And that wouldn't be right.

This is totally manufactured momentum on the Clinton campaign's part. Clinton only wanted the Florida delegates to be seated AFTER it was clear that she needed something to blunt Obama's momentum when he ACTUALLY won South Carolina. Oops.

6. This really shows more that Fox wants a villian. They aren't fair and balanced here
Its a reasonable decision by MSNBC to not really cover this. Hillary is clearly working to manufacture a news story. To the extent it works, bully for her. But it seems odd that you'd blame the news organizations for not following her around like a puppy dog.

Then again, considering they usually follow anyone, perhaps this is unusual....

20. Because the GOP wants Hill to win in the worst possible way
so they can win. They know they can beat her ass in the GE and they will if she's nominated.

The 'beauty contest' label is slapped on it at times, but it is getting some play and discussion.

11. No one campaigned in Florida
The same thing happened in Michigan.

Are you wanting the network to shill for Clinton? Her campaign is trying to make the Florida primary, whose delegates was agreed early were not to be seated at the Convention, be a manufactured "momentum."

Their party and their ratings are based largely on Hillary-hate.

Just saying.

For all the bitching people do about M$NBC, I cannot for the life of me understand why they even turn it on in the first place.

23. shout all ya want - it still won't count
FLA vote = meaningless babble.

How do you count the thousands of folks who did not vote today because the vote = 0 delegates?

You don't.

That's why it does not matter.

It should have...

But remember the candidates pledges?

and went back to sportscasting because of it.


Maybe he has flashbacks.

32. No.... he went back because his news show turned into "Crisis in the White House"
When the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke in 1998, the show morphed into White House in Crisis. Olbermann became frustrated as his show was consumed by the Lewinsky story. In 1998, he stated that his work at MSNBC would "make me ashamed, make me depressed, make me cry."<5>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Olbermann#Return_to_ESPN


... he has spoken about in in a couple of interviews.

37. how about USA today? and his speech at his Alma Mater?
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2005-06-13-olbermann-espn_x.htm

Despite scorched bridges, Olbermann rejoins ESPN
By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
Pigs have flown: Keith Olbermann is once again going to cash ESPN paychecks.
ESPN will announce today that Olbermann, a SportsCenter anchor before leaving in 1997, will have an hour-long weekly show on ESPN Radio that will air Friday afternoons and begin this August.

Olbermann's exit from ESPN, where Olbermann was known for catchphrases such as "premature jocularity," wasn't amicable. He then moved to MSNBC to work on a news show that often focused on Monica Lewinsky.

The job, as Olbermann noted in a 1998 commencement address at his alma mater Cornell, wasn't fulfilling: It gave him "dry heaves," and it would "make me ashamed, make me depressed, make me cry."


http://cornell-magazine.cornell.edu/Archive/2007marapr/features/Feature.asp
The publicity saddled Olbermann with a reputation as a difficult co-worker, a perfectionist and prima donna who could be his own worst enemy. In 1998, that image only sharpened. Handed an opportunity to do a newsmagazine for MSNBC, "The Big Show," he quickly found the program consumed by the mushrooming Clinton impeachment scandal. The show was renamed "White House in Crisis," and, after seventeen months and an unsuccessful effort to broaden it beyond l'affaire Lewinsky, Olbermann wanted out. He found a very public outlet for his frustration: a convocation speech for the Class of 1998 in Barton Hall. "There are days now when my line of work makes me ashamed, makes me depressed, makes me cry, "Olbermann told the assembled graduates. The speech helped seal his fate at the network. "I remember, as I was writing it, that I had no inclination whatsoever to hold anything back," he says.

30. I have been watching FOX just to see what they are saying...
it is sad but true... FOX and friends have said that they are the "Fair and Balanced" news station... and the others favor Obama big time...

how many days did we listen to Bill call the Obama campaign a Fairy Tale... before they released the footage before that which spoke about Obama's Iraq record being a fairy tale? by then, Bill was a racist! and Hillary needed to get rid of Bill...

Obama and friends were above it all... but I saw a clip of Michelle saying something like... we fought against this years ago and we are still fighting the battle... once... after that... the Obamas have not played the race card... they don't want to get involved... poor poor pathetic Bill!

Rezco? who is Rezco? well, there is a picture of Bill and Hillary with Rezco... so neither one wants to talk about that.... FOX NEWS - Obama made over $300,000 on home purchase next to land by Rezco... later bought vacant property from Rezco... did MSNBC or CNN ask Obama about this? NO did they ask why he said, "No, no, no, no, I just did 5 hours of work for Rezco as a junior lawyer," during the debate?

Hell no! Obama would never tell a lie

34. They were right to condemn hillary's silly spectacle, she should be ashamed
They weren't suppose to campaign there, florida was stripped of it's delegates. Yet she considers it a legit victory, acting in direct defiance with the DNC. But whatever it takes to win I guess. Pathetic.
