quote: MSNBC Takes Incendiary Hosts From Anchor Seat MSNBC tried a bold experiment this year by putting two politically incendiary hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in the anchor chair to lead the cable news channel’s coverage of the election. That experiment appears to be over. After months of accusations of political bias and simmering animosity between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, the channel decided over the weekend that the NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host David Gregory would anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night. Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews will remain as analysts during the coverage. The change — which comes in the home stretch of the long election cycle — is a direct result of tensions associated with the channel’s perceived shift to the political left. “The most disappointing shift is to see the partisan attitude move from prime time into what’s supposed to be straight news programming,” said Davidson Goldin, formerly the editorial director of MSNBC and a co-founder of the reputation management firm DolceGoldin. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/08/business/media/08msnbc.html?_r=2&hp=&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin [sm=dancer.gif]

It won't matter. The ratings will continue to slide. David Gregory is just as biased as Mathews and Olberman.

Sometimes when I'm channel surfing I'll stop on MSNBC for a few laughs, then move on.

I had to mute my TV tonight at halftime of the Bears/Colts game. Keith Olberman is back doing sports..

Keith Olbermann on MSNBC is great. He tells the truth and just like me and many other people who are fed up with right wing politics and its hypocrisy. And he's telling the truth. I'm sick and tired of the right wing hypocrisy and lies. George Bush doesn't want Hillary care, what a joke! Socialized medicine is good enough for him and Dick Cheney and everybody has to pay for it for them but poor George doesn't want it for anybody else. I'm so sick of that bastard! They've looted the United States treasury for $1 trillion paying for that stupid war to secure oil for Exxon and BP, Mission nothing accomplished.

Keith? Is that you?

Somebody's been drinking Koolaid

Brain -> RE: Oberman / Mathews Lose Anchor Seats (9/7/2008 8:58:16 PM)
Here is some more Koolaid for you. Sarah Palin ‘affair’: big media stays quiet as ‘lover’ named While America's respectable media focus on John McCain's acceptance speech to the Republican faithful, blogs and gossip sites continue to lead the feeding frenzy surrounding the National Enquirer's allegation, reported here yesterday, that McCain's running mate Sarah Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner. http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/uselection,0,sarah-palin-affair-big-media-stays-quiet-as-lover-named,43515

Yep, thats the same kind of Koolaid that said her 5 month old son is really her 5 month old grandson.

Olberman used to do sports in Los Angeles and is one of those people who think they are smarter than everyone else. He certainly is more annoying than anyone else. I guess that is an accomplishment of sorts. [:D] And Dan Patrick and Olberman on Sunday Night Football was painful.

We already had a thread on this.....it didn't amount to a hill of beans in that thread either.

I know - ain't it great? The media's feeding frenzy (as you called it yourself) is causing the media to implode. quote: ORIGINAL: Brain Here is some more Koolaid for you.

I guess this below and all the other slime of this administration is Koolaid also. I can't wait for you guys to get your clocks cleaned in November! One good thing about George Bush is that he will cause the first black president to be elected in the United States. And that's the only thing good about that slimeball. Anyway here's your Koolaid: http://www.newsweek.com/id/157439 McCain Operatives Trying to Derail Palin Investigation newsweek.com — Key Alaska allies of John McCain are trying to derail a politically charged investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her public safety commissioner in order to prevent a so-called "October surprise" that would produce embarrassing information about the vice presidential candidate on the eve of the election.

And That It Lied About Antivirus Software... from the wonders-never-cease dept Consider me to be in a state of shock. For nearly half a decade Diebold has always responded in the identical way to every single report of a problem or security vulnerability with its e-voting machines: attacking those who pointed out the problem and claiming it really wasn't a problem at all. This has happened time and time again that I'm not even sure how to react when the company (renamed Premier to get away from the Diebold name stigma) has finally admitted that its machines have a flaw that drops votes. Oops. It's warning 34 states that use the machines of the problem which was highlighted in the lawsuit Ohio filed against Premiere/Diebold. Not only that, but it's admitting the flaw in the software has been in the software for the past decade. http://techdirt.com/articles/20080822/0352532064.shtml

Yeah, I know, I heard - she's a real two-headed monster. Run, run away and hide!

Does this mean I get to play Spanish Inquisition with her? I have been meaning to test a new idea for a rack.[;)]

Tell us now, are you going to put cyanide in your Kool-Aid come November when the Dems lose...Again? Face it, the Dems picked the wrong guy...For the third straight election...That's really gotta hurt.

The Republicans should lose the next election unless of course they steal it again with their dirty tricks UCTV--University of California Television Loser Take All: Election Fraud and the Subversion of Democracy with Mark Crispin Miller (#14713; 59 minutes; 7/7/2008) Mark Crispin Miller, professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University, discusses election fraud in the 2000 and 2004 national and state elections, emphasizing the process and consequences of compromised democracy, and the implications for the 2008 election. Center for Film, Television and New Media at UC Santa Barbara For all programs in this series, visit: Carsey-Wolf Center for Film, Television and New Media at UCSB http://www.uctv.tv/search-details.asp?showID=14713 Anyway I don't want to argue about politics anymore. the neocons have gone too far the last eight years and I'm looking forward to change. The funny thing is I used to be very conservative but one thing about me is I am fiscally conservative and George Bush is not. I don't know how to people are going to balance the budget in the future with all the money that has been wasted on nonsense the last eight years. And those ridiculous tax cuts for the rich that they want to continue.Obama has to get elected or the United States will become insolvent.
