VANITY: I'll Make an FR Donation for Everyone Who Pledges to Boycott MSNBC
me ^ | April 8, 2004 | redlipstick

Posted on 04/08/2004 7:14:37 PM PDT by EllaMinnow

I've been driven to post my first vanity by the out and out disgusting behavior of Chris Matthews and Don Imus. Matthews gave full rein today to 4 9/11 widows spouting conspiracy theories...he even said that VP Cheney should be given sodium pentathol before his Commission testimony. Imus has become unwatchable. He has gone far beyond humor in his insults of President Bush - far beyond.

So, here's the deal... the only way we can hurt MSNBC's ratings is by boycotting them ourselves. I'm willing to donate 25 cents to FR for every boycott pledgee on this thread - my maximum is $50, but so is my minimum!

I'm hoping that others might be willing to match my donations. How about it guys? I would love to wake up in the morning and find at least a hundred pledges.

What drug am I supposed to ask my doctor about if I have MSNBC? Levitra? Enzyte? Valtrex?

I'm in. All I'll miss is the eye-candy anyway, and that's a very small sacrifice to make. There's a good reason they're dead last in the cable ratings, and they just lost another occasional viewer.

My husband says there's no finer eye candy on cable news that Patty Ann Brown, and she's on FOX.

It was pretty incredible today. I kept channel switching to try and get a feel for the general treatment of Condi across the board.

HIDEOUS. ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS.

And these people walk the streets in daylight with their heads high and their noses in the air!!! SHEESH!

God, please have mercy on us, but not on them unless they repent and change their ways!
