The day it is announced that Donahue has been cancelled, I think we should hold an online party celebrating the demise of that smug Socialist! He was so arrogant when talking of why he was coming back to television. Claimed there was no 'voice' for people who believe like him. Apparently there is also no audience.

I just heard something really strange on Fox.

Apparently GWB is enjoying a 40%+ approval rating among blacks and they are beginning to switch to republicans.

Can this be true?

And if it is, how do we welcome our new members?

I suggest a big party! Plenty of food and drink and done on a national basis!

MSNBC is in denial. Calling this the summer of dead news. They are out of their freaking minds. We are at war. We are entering a new phase of the war soon with Iraq. We have Al Qaeda tapes. We have kidnappings. We have every debate for the coming elections. We have 9-11 anniversary coming. We have Israel's war to cover. We have floods in Europe from hell. I mean I could seriously name 40 high news topics here. I have not even hit the running trials and Wall Street scandals yet.

MSNBC is in total denial and is in risk of losing everything by pouring money into the Donahue show. By focusing on this insane new idea they have of talk shows all day and night on, people get lamed out. They want breaking news all the time. They want investigative pieces. They don't give a shit about Phil. They never really did. He was something for burned out 60's wives to watch in the late 1970's and 1980's.

He barely even has the Nader crowd. You have to apply the old saying of "I was liberal when I was young and became conservative when I got smarter,wiser, and older", this is obviously what happened to Phil's audience. He is boring. He can't connect with anyone but a cult. He is out of touch. He tries to be hip. He fails. He is too biased. He can't spin for his life. He is rude, obnoxious, and he looks like he is on a speedball.

Most of all his worst attribute is he books 3 liberals to 1 opposing view and shuts them up and interrupts them constantly. Bill O'Reilly was right when he said Phil won't make it to the Fall.

These MSNBC execs are trying to pull a rabbitt out of a hat with a hole in the bottom of it. They have filled their anchor desks with some seriously ADD ridden super former local NBC or wherever news hacks who have absolutely NO DELIVERY and are ugly.

The news business is shaping up to belong to 2 organizations. 1. Fox News Channel and 2. CNN. That is it. The networks are so damn stale they make a 2 week old loaf of bread that has sat out on a counter look fresh.

MSNBC will be sold. Watch. It will be sold off to some other corporation who will swear they can do wonders with it. They just can't afford to keep losing the money they are losing.

But where is Bill Gates? You know...the MS in MSNBC?? Where are his brilliant ideas that he spoke of the first day MSNBC went on air? Oh yes...I remember that day well. Where he said MSNBC will be just as popular as CNN in 2004 and maybe even more connected.

Having Phil Donahue is not a step to the future. They are digressing back to the age of television when there was nothing to watch. Which is exactly what people are doing right now with MSNBC. Not watching because there is nothing to watch.
