Good on you.

We rarely get 100% of what we want. Life doesn't work that way.

Wisdom is accepting that and acting upon the best scenario available to avoid the unthinkable...

Wisdom is being able to climb above our egos I hope there are many more out there like you...

Griffin maintains that MSNBC has been "very fair" to Clinton, despite what he calls her "baggage." "Obama had a lot of early success, and that colored people's thinking," he says. "That was a newer story, a fresher story, and people locked onto it."

NBC is clearly a racist network, read between the lines and you can see it's bubbling up in their subconscious.

I get bored with F&F and their nonstories so I flip over to joe...oh my. That show is a disaster especially with joe gone. Willie is a wimp and mika is a twit.
That whole network is simply amazing to watch. It is difficult to describe!!

Beck was showing Olbermann delivering one of his rants a couple of nights ago and I nearly lost my coffee.

The man looked demonic and what he was spewing was absolutely off the charts as one who needs some serious help in the form of meds or a long vacation and counseling.

I’ll be honest - the guy has burned his last bridge to valid broadcasting if he was ever capable of it in the first place.

Another unexpected benefit from “Operation Chaos”?

At this point anyone, and I mean anyone, who has the stomach to watch any of these broadcasts, especially PMSNBC, and can't see the bias dripping from your TV set, should either get a new set of glasses or a frontal lobotomy.

I have scrapped better things than Keith Olberman off the insides of a rusty septic tank.

Didn’t know MSNBC was still on the air.

The real value of pMSNBC to shareholders is that it is an established channel on sat and cable systems.

In all honesty, for live, non-political "situations" as they happen, MSNBC isn't bad. They lack the tabloidial hacks that both FNC and CNN foist upon viewers.

And I was impressed with the director's presentation of camera shots [from the local affiliate] last time I watched a real "breaking news" event.

“To call us an arm of the DNC is a joke,”

No you're not an arm. Your another appendage that's a little further South.

I would put Keith up there with Bill Mahr. Maybe they could do a tag team of hate.

“To call us an arm of the DNC is a joke,” he says. “We have people with multiple points of view. Everyone is getting a little thin-skinned.”

Sure, they have liberals, socialists, communists, anarchists, Maoists and Troskyites. And these are the moderates. All point of views are presented.

It’s an organ for the farthest left part of the Democratic Party. That’s their niche audience, and they play to the far left to the hilt.

There’s no question the news media is biased. I don’t know what these people use for brains. They haven’t had an original idea in forty years. They just spend their time talking to each other, I guess.

The only value I get out of MSNBC is to see libs in the raw in the news business. Their smary comments (ie the implication that John McCain is dead guy Bernie)and KO’s rants, give a wide open look at libs in the MSM.

I agree, KO was the kid getting swirlies in school. My thought has always been that he was that little know-it-all smarta** that continually got smacked around.

Liberals call Fox RNCTV. Conservatives call MSNBC DNCTV. Seems appropriate.

“Willie breaks in...”You mean Weekend at Bernie’s?” Mikka giggles like a schoolgirl.”

A couple of things. First, it’s a morning show, not a hard news show, so you will get a little bit of nonsense.

Second, that IS funny. I’m going to vote against Obama, reluctantly for McCain. But that is funny.
