She needs to go back to Canada. She will fit in very good in that Socialist environment.

Starf--r.

Huh?

[CindyDawg]

Guess she will write a book now.

NBC News dumps Ashleigh Banfield...

...to make room for the next socialist pusbag who will take her place.

[Cicero]

She ought to be able to get a job with CBC.

I think NBC picked her primarily for her looks. I've always thought that the surplus of media posters you see around New York City and at train stations in Westchester are directed as much toward advertising executives and decision makers as they are to us common folks. For a while there, Ashleigh Banfield's face looked down at you from posters all over the city, as the face of NBC news.

It's a good sign if they canned her for being too liberal. I didn't think that was possible.

I'll throw in some more letters for you:

Starf*cker

I'm not sure what the point is, unless she recently crossed paths with Mick Jagger or some such, but that's the word.

Regrettably, we were unable to agree on a new assignment for her,"

Let her drive the "Zamboni" at the Garden. She's Canadien,Canadian eh! She'll love it.

[Petronski]

I kinda thought that's what it meant, but they really should have put "Star-----r" to indicate the proper number of letters.

Banfield's address also suggested some cable TV networks skewed their coverage to please advertisers.

This ditz is at the wrong network; she needs to talk turkey with PBS, NPR and Pacifica Radio.

"cable news operators who wrap themselves in the American flag and go after a certain target demographic."
That's pretty short on specifics. What demographic? What cable news operator?
All of the war coverage I saw on CNN was pretty awful and anti-american... so she doesn't seem to be talking about them.
By the way, why did they have someone so obviously anti-war doing "objective" iraq coverage?

[Betaille]

"Banfield hosted "MSNBC Investigates""
Should be called "MSNBC Editorializes". I ask again, why did they have someone so adamantly anti-war doing coverage of IRAQ???

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

So the media's coverage of GWII wasn't objective enough for this Marxist (objective = anti-American). If today's media had reported on WWII, everyone East of the Mississippi would be speaking German and everyone West would be speaking Japanese.

[litehaus]

Was it not this gal who during the Floriduh recount could not add a column of figures on msnbc?

[F16Fighter]

Banfield, in a speech at Kansas State University, had lashed out at "cable news operators who wrap themselves in the American flag and go after a certain target demographic."

If the "target demographic" Banfield was after were Leftists, anti-Americans, and corpses, she met ALL her own expectations with flying colors.

Campbell Brown will be next, I hope. I imagine she wears a T-shirt that says Whoeverwilladvancemycareerf***er..

[Bobby777]

ditz (dit*s) - noun, though often used as an adjective

a) One who cannot tell the difference between a democratically-elected President and a terrorist-dictator; i.e., gushing about "Chairman Arafat"
b) An anti-Israeli weeping for the "oppressed" Palestinians giving tacit approval to terrorists
c) A "useful idiot" for the Middle East (reference "Rachel Corrie")

I think NBC picked her primarily for her looks

A few years ago, after they sent Ashley to the Middle East and she changed her hair color and started wearing those horn rimmed glasses, Glenn Beck came up with a parody song about her changing looks that was hilarious.

The title was "Oh Why is Ashley Banfield Now A Man?"

[Endeavor]

They canned her because she shoved a finger in their faces - it had nothing to do with her liberal politics.
