Why is anyone watching MSNBC?

Boycott MSNBC. It would be one thing if they had replaced Olbermann and Matthews as anchors IF they replaced them with a non partisan. But David Gregory is a Republican hack. So TURN IT OFF and let their numbers plummet.

Of course, you can turn it on for Countdown.

Where in the hell is it a good place anymore to tune to for news?

:shrug:

The news has been cancelled.

Whenever I do tune in to BBC or Canada I just get more furious that we aren't getting those stories here.

on CSPAN!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Also, tell everyone you know to do the same... it's the only way.

And I'm taking your advice on C-SPAN. Except for Countdown, Rachel's new show and very occasionally Tweety if there is someone I like on it, that's it for me.

All of the MSM/cable news channels are on McCain's campaign payroll. Bleeech!

CBS and BBC. After a steady diet of ABC and NBC, CBS seems more willing to cover stories that are critical of the administration and the GOP. I like Jeff Greenfield, who used to be a speechwriter for Bobby Kennedy. Bob Schieffer--he's okay but not as insightful as Jeff. They have Joe Trippi on stafff, too.
ABC is the worst--they will sugar coat Bush and look the other way when something blows up in his face. And NBC is sometimes good--they covered Katrina thoroughly, but it's is not as hard-hitting as I'd like.

Recently CBS reported stories recently about McCain and Palin's claims-- and then immediately debunked them, right on the evening news. That's the kind of stuff I like to see.

The BBC has a nice perspective also. I liked Matt Frei's very smart take on the conventions, and Katty Kay is good too. I watch the BBC America channel's hour-long version, and it's always colorful, interesting and international. They are not all politics all the time, but you do get some nice stories.

To each his/her own, but this is what I'm watching these days. I've traditionally been a PBS viewer, but Newshour does get very dry. I like Keith Olbermann too, and have been with Rachael Maddow since she got her first Air America job in the morning back in 2005 I think it was. But I want to hear more than just red meat for the Left.

I hope everyone will see that watching CNN or MSNBC exclusively is as bad as someone who will watch nothing but FOX. You have to get more perspective than that--you need a well rounded diet. Cable News 24/7 is like eating junk food all day. Go back to the networks and see what you are missing.

everything is entertainment.

The decision to move KO and CM was made by NBC. Watching shows like Countdown and Hardball allows one to listen to the messages that NBC wants to silence.

I've written them and told that, too.

KO wanted to be out of the debate hot-seat. It allows him to be more...Keithy. I think it's a good move, because otherwise the focus would be on Keith and the MSNBC Eastern Media Elite.

.

is exactly what the republican party wants. It is a shallow response for democrats to advocate.

This is one small step to taking on Rush Limbaugh and his siblings on the radio. To break the establishment on this it takes time. One small set back is not going to mean the end of Olbermann. Rachel Maddow starts today and that is going to catapult MSNBC ratings. By the next election they will realize the real vale of Olbermann, Matthews and now Maddow.

and let them know why.

The polls are *fixed* ... I can feel it.

Don't believe the M$M polls and work for Obama. :-) :hi:

I don't really care what the talking heads are babbling about.

C-span did.

:hi:

He was taking it to the Bush administration in the daily presser and people here were falling all over themselves about him. Women thought he was cute and wanted to have his babies, etc. Now he's a partisan hack. It's just funny to see the turnabout.

My opinion is that he tries, but he's just not bright enough for his job.

the turnabout he did when he went from being a reporter to being a shill. It would be nice to have a real journalist on tv, wouldn't it? It's all funny.

this is just more propaganda being spewed and the truth of dissent is being shoved in the corner.

turn on for Olbermann and Rachel tonite then shut off the TV.

:sarcasm:

keep their jobs? Well alrighty then. :eyes:

if people stopped feeding the beast. The only reason why the gab-fests on the television are relevant is because people make them so. Oh well.

I think we should keep sending emails to all news organizations calling bullshit on their bias. The fascists do it why shouldn't we.

Time to "work" the referees.

... and subconsciously believe an implosion is imminent, if the media would just do its job.

Just like with W.

It is more important than ever to KNOW what the OTHER SIDE is saying... and that includes their press lackeys!

We need to keep an eye on them!!!

I think it's stupid to ignore them.

Hope others will continue supporting Olberman and Maddow.

Just let the station know if you were watching Chris and Keith anchoring election coverage and now will go elsewhere for that because you dislike the biased reporting of David Gregory.
