Daily Kos Founder Banned From MSNBC After “Cheap Shot” At Joe Scarborough
mediaite.com ^ | 7/7/10 | Steve Krakauer

Posted on 07/07/2010 4:31:21 PM PDT by Nachum

Following a harsh exchange between MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas on Twitter in May, Moulitsas writes today that he has been banned (for now) from appearing on the network.

He publishes an email from MSNBC President Phil Griffin explaining the reasoning (a “cheap shot”), but Moulitsas concludes he has “been booted from the network because of a Scarborough temper tantrum.”

Moulitsas writes today on Daily Kos about the circumstances in a post “Why I am blacklisted by MSNBC“. “In case you were wondering why you haven’t seen me on MSNBC recently, it seems that Joe Scarborough, he of the lowest rated morning show in cableland, has blackballed me,” he writes. “And Phil Griffin, the alleged president of MSNBC, is going along with it.”

I would like to know why Forbes Magazine has that idiot Quentin Hardy on the staff. He is the worst combo possible - he’s arrogant and ignorant.

And yet mainstream Dem presidential candidates dutifully troop to the KOS Konvention and speak to the Kossacks. As if such a rabid group is Dem mainstream too. And the worst part is, this actually IS the present day Dem Party. I read last night that Soros has been a seminal force for years in defeating ‘moderate’ Dems and replacing them with radical leftists. If that is true, he’s been quite effective.

There was a story in our local paper about a Tea Party meeting where Republican candidates spoke. The comments posted at the papers website were astounding! These liberals are filled with venom, and they were calling the Republicans hateful! Their hypocrisy is stunning.

I think ‘hypocrisy’ is the key word in what you said. Once a person has gotten to the point where they are total hypocrites, yet have no sense of that fact, sin has pretty much won the battle. That’s what Jesus was up against with the Pharisees. They were hypocritical above all else, yet blind to it. Today’s MSM and liberals are some of the biggest hypocrites who’ve ever walked the face of the earth, and yet they simply do not see it. That is a really scary place to be.

Why are progressives as thin skinned and pouty as a Jr. High cheerleading squad?

Because their IQs are roughly the same...no offense to Jr. High cheerleading squads.

If you’re banned from MSNBC, does it make a sound?

it seems that Joe Scarborough, he of the lowest rated morning show in cableland, has blackballed me,” he writes.

Well, if I had been kicked off the "lowest rated morning show in cableland," I darn sure would not be running around blabbing it to ALL of the other moonbats.

IDIOT.

I was thinking “if you are banned from MSNBC are there more than 3 people who give a cr*p?”

Another source sez "Moulitsas had been a semi-regular guest on Ed Schultz' show as well as Countdown with Keith Olbermann."

Alas, Kos probably has higher viewership than MSNBC. Here's a weird coincidence from mid-June: sidebar from late 2009:

Scarborough and Olbermann have both crossed swords with the Kossacks. MSNBC never wanted input from the little people, even those basically on their side.
