My e-mail to MSNBC
After watching a few minutes of Tucker discuss the Libby case I felt the need to e-mail MSNBC.

"Tucker Carlson should refrain from his "what's this about" confusion regarding Scooter Libby. One google search of "Carlson Libby defense fund" will give him the answers. His dad is a primary fund raiser for Libby's defense fund. If MSNBC wants to retain the viewers Olberman has brought in, they might want to tell Tucker to stay away from the Libby case or he should disclose his family connection to it."

I was disgusted by his "Aw shucks What's going on" tone in his his interview with A.B. Stoddard and some GOP talking head. A.B. Stoddard was suppose to be the "fair & balanced" liberal voice. Yeah, right. She sidestepped it quicker than the GOP guy. She wouldn't talk about the news revealed today in the opening arguments, just that Cheney might be something else the GOP has to run against. Tucker cut her off and said something about "I hate the war too, but go after Bush, not this crazy political witch hunt"

Again, his dad is a primary fundraiser for the the Libby Defense Fund.

1. Good letter.
He really shouldn't be allowed to pretend disinterest on this subject.

3. I may have heard this before but had forgotten it
GREAT E-MAIL! He absolutely should be prohibited from discussing the case if he has a connection to it (and especially in the very biased way he's covered it in the past).

4. Thank you for writing them a letter
Tucker Carlson has gotten away with this for far too long. It's a shame that we have to do the MSM's research for them as well.

5. Excellent letter.
There was a time when a man of values and ethics would have told his viewers he was not in a position to comment on a particular topic, due to family involvement. Apparently those days are long gone.

Tucker should not be permitted by MSNBC to discuss the Libby case at all, and if he chooses to do so, he should have a disclaimer prior to and/or immediately after any discussion.

6. Excellent letter.
How Tucker expects to be taken seriously about this, especially with his family's conflict of interest, is beyond comprehension.

On another note, how Russert has gotten away with his "take" on this case, considering that he will have to testify and he rarely discloses that fact, is beyond belief.

15. He has a lot of nerve calling it a political witch hunt.
Considering the witch hunt exercised on Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame.

Great letter. You made your point directly and with facts to back it up.

:thumbsup:

Tucker@msnbc.com

and this page will let you email msnbc website, tv, comments & feedback about msnbc, and the various news shows
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10285339/

now i know where tucker got his bow tie idea



read all about him:
http://www.scooterlibby.com/committee/?id=5

it's an interesting list of criminals on this board for libby's trust fund. including mary matalin

maybe tucker is afraid his daddy will beat him (with his tie!) if he says anything naughty about scooter.

18. I emailed them about the same thing.
Tucker is obviously another republican "boy" with an Oedipal complex.

19. thats great heres mine..........................
FUCK YOU and your stupid grip hold on the media consolidation, what I love best about your whole basis for news is the speculation of what is going to happen next when you already know what is going to happen next because its just another page from your story.

Why not tell the American public the real news for just one day? LOL well we both know why you won't and can't do that.
