MSNBC: So how did Jay Leno help with the Blagojevich investigation?
Governor is arrested for selling a senate seat, and they're showing a shameless plug for Jay Leno's new primetime show. FUCK MSNBC!

1. Jay Leno's going to TANK big time. Almost as much as Gregory will on MTP.
What's sad is that it won't matter since our M$M is so de-regulated ONLY the CEOs decide what us peons should watch in the CORPORATE States of America. :(

2. The problem I have with it...
is that this is a shameless promo that's taking coverage away from a serious crime and national event.

3. I turned on the TV and saw Andrea Mitchell saying to Joe "What's the bottom line"
I figured they were talking about the case, how far did it go.

And Joe says "well, the bottom line is that NBC wants to keep Leno so he can't be taken by another network blah blah blah..." I nearly fell out of my seat trying to turn it off. WTF? Do they WANT to be a laughingstock?

5. We need to raise hell about this...
it's a clear violation of journalistic ethics, one which had a materially harmful effect to the coverage of current events. That channel is a fucking joke anymore.

4. It was also on CNBC
Leno is more important than our crumbling economy.
