Evidently it's part of Rick Kaplan's strategy to get MSNBC out of the ratings cellar. Go after Malkin, Miller with rabid intensity, I think it's part of the strategy to give HARDBALL "buzz". I think the plan is to encourage Darryl Hannah do even more Chris Matthews impersonations on Saturday Night LIve. Their fall season of new shows will start soon, just in time to add to Matthews swelled ego. Betcha you're right
Thing is, it can backfire on them .. I use to just boycott Noballs Matthews .. after these stunts, I've boycotted ALL of MSNBC
And McCain ?? .. he can go pound sand
Did everyone see when Dan Rather interviewed former President Bush?
Or when GHW Bush stopped by the NBC broadcasting booth to describe to America how it feels, as an ex-president himself, to watch his son accept his party's nomination?
No? Oops. That's because they didn't. Their bias has destroyed their ability make intelligent decisions.
Savvy viewers recgonize it as bias. The average viewer sees it as crappy coverage.
