I just sent this to Hardball..

I didn't think it out very well, because I am so pissed right now, but still;



Have you not done enough damage to the election already??? You need to be FIRED. Media is totally out of control, with their MIND GAMES and the candidates in this election. Your hatred of Hillary, and I'm not even a Hillary supporter, is totally unacceptable.

I don't know how you can sit there and SHOVE Obama down our throats!!!! I will not vote for him, and I don't know anyone that will. You all already killed MY candidate, with your selective media coverage. Joe Biden was the best candidate this country had, on either side of the aisle, but apparently, he just wasn't glamorous enough for the media.

I also find it OUTRAGEOUS that people are MAKING money on Intrade, for our presidential candidates!!!!!

I thought this was FUCKING AMERICA, and we lived in a DEMOCRACY.

Apparently, I was mistaken!!!!

Well written rant and I totally agree.

-P

say this, Corona. No one better than you. Outrageous in the EXTREME!

e-mail! You let 'em have it and they deserve it! :thumbsup:

'While the world’s oldest democracy, the United States, spends trillions of dollars claiming to bring democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq (through the barrel of a gun), what have we got here? A process driven by major donors shoveling huge sums of cash into the troughs of television broadcasters, who are holding the electoral process hostage through their control of the public airwaves. The same broadcasters arbitrarily exclude viable candidates from their so-called debates, elevating themselves to kingmaker.'

touche'! with any luck someone will read it.

to get this off your chest. Intrade is pretty crazy. I guess that's what you get when capitalism comes before democracy.

Nothing pissed me off more when Matthews had Biden on after Bhutto's assassination, and then said this will help Hillary because she is the candidate with experience.

I question his sanity.

I think he's losing it.

I've been questioning his sanity.

I know he's received a lot of criticism, but I forgave him the occasional whacky remark and ridiculous pandering. Now he's just making no sense at all. I wonder if his days are numbered at MSNBC.

I heard somebody say (probably Randi or Rachel) that Matthews thinks he IS MSNBC, and Olbermann feels the same. I don't know if there's bad blood between them or not, but if it is, it'll be the ratings/$$$ that makes the determination -- which means Olbermann is the fair haired boy.

That is why they put Dan Abrams on after him and he is basically emulating Keith, though not nearly as good. I remember when Abrams had a show before and he was never that "perky".

During that last election, they put Matthews and Olbermann together for the first time and it was a tad awkward in the beginning. At the end Matthews cleared the air by paying Olbermann a very nice compliment about his special comments and compared him to Eric Sevareid.
