Tweety-Dee and Tweety-Dumb (5.00 / 1) (#27)

This is another rant about cable news, namely MSNBC.  Already, I can't stand to see Keith Bloberman's smirking face, and as such, I haven't watched his "All Obama All the Time" noise hour.  I've thus far held my nose and watch Tweety's show because I already knew he wasn't at all an objective news man, so I wasn't quite as disappointed in him...yet.  It had seemed to me that after Hillary won New Hampshire, he scaled back his untoward attacks on her to some extent.  That new attitude seems to have passed, however.

Last night, in what looked like a direct read from the net roots, he did a segment on the sniper-gate story.  After reading through all the customary lines about how film footage shows Hillary being greeted on the tarmac, in apparent contrast to the story she told, he mentioned her campaign's statement about how she "miss-spoke."  Then, in one of his most condescending and intelligent-insulting moments, he scowled about how "miss-speaking' is identical to "saying something that isn't true."  Why exactly would be telling an apparent intelligent audience something that is universally obvious?  He was become such a Hillary-hating hack that he needs to talk down to his fans as a mother would talk to a 3-year old.  As though only HE is intelligent enough to interpret what a "miss-statement" is.  Listen up, folks; Daddy-Tweety is going to tell you what people's statements mean, and only his interpretation matters.

If that wasn't bad enough, he then began to accuse Bill Clinton of "Cutting" Obama out of the race when he talks about how good it would be to have two candidates who care about the country discussing what direction they would take ( I'm paraphrasing his comments, but you get the idea )  I can't say if Tweety is blinded by his hatred of Hillary, or just too dumb to understand Clinton's point here.  Either way, his buffoonery prompted Chuck Todd to speak up and (correctly) say that Clinton was talking about getting past all of the race recriminations and get back to real voter's issues.  But Tweety wasn't done with his loonacy yet, he cut Todd off to blurt that nobody has more baggage than the Clintons.  He just refuses to understand the meaning of words, and thinks his distorted interpretations are the only ones that matter.

One more show on my boycott list.
