I no longer watch MSNBC (5.00 / 2) (#43)
by IKE on Wed Apr 02, 2008 at 07:34:42 PM EST
Their ratings must be taken a nose dive because I don't know why anyone would watch that network anymore. Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, Idiot shuster and the rest are so anti-hillary that I get sick every time I watch that channel. If they were to come out and publicly endorse Obama instead of pretending as if they are neutral than perhaps I might watch them. Craig Crawford the only fair guy on that network no longer appears. Maybe he's sick of MSNBC crap just like every body else.

Yeah, whatever happened (5.00 / 2) (#52)

to Craig Crawford?

(Actually, Chuck Todd is very good, not biased either way as far as I can tell, but just reality-based.)

But as of the time my boycott/boredom started, Chuck Todd didn't appear very much on KO.  He's often on the Today Show, which is such a pleasant change from Timmeh.

I doubt KO would have Todd on much because he's actually not into crass talking points.

KO's show tonight ends with Michael Jackson Puppet Theatre. How appropriate.

Don't know about Todd on KO (none / 0) (#128)

since I haven't been watching him, but I bet you're right he hasn't been much.   Interestingly, he is on Matthews a lot, despite the fact that he very politely and in a low-key way tells him he and his favorite shills are full of xxx pretty regularly.

I liked Craword as well- but (none / 0) (#173)

he was fair minded and not vicious towards Clinton, so he is rarely alloed on anymore. The last thing allowed by the MSM is unbiased reporting. KO was my hero and I looked forward to his show all day- I feel sad and terribly let down.

Yeah, they got rid of Crawford (5.00 / 1) (#59)

after he refused to drink the Kool-Aid.

Now, KO is paying himself tribute by re-running his prior commentary on the Administration's changing excuses for the war. It's the fifth anniversary of Countdown this week, he's apparently been paying himself tribute all week.

Actually, this segment is pretty good -- it's giving the lie to Tony Snow's assertion that Bush had only said the phrase "stay the course" eight times.  KO put together a clip with 29 other instances.

It's too bad he doesn't do stuff like that -- you know, reporting -- any more.

You mean his producer (5.00 / 1) (#76)

doesn't make his interns scan Nexis anymore?

Apparently not (5.00 / 2) (#93)

I think they are getting whatever they put on the air from orange trees. ;-)

I noticed they haven't asked (5.00 / 3) (#109)

Wes Clark back either. Next one will be Gen Paul Eaton, the general who retired early so he could speak out about Abu Ghraib.  He supports Hillary too.

You're right hairspray. (5.00 / 2) (#184)

After Wes endorsed Hillary, that was it. He even asked us a while back to write MSNBC to have him on. He still has a contract with them.

For the first time in a long time, he was on just yesterday with Dan Abrams.

Here's a link to the video, and transcript:

Interesting factoid I learned from him -- which many may already know. Gen. McPeak -- Obama's top FP adviser, is a-okay with McCain's plan for long term US troops in Iraq. Do Obamacans know this, and are okay with it?

As for what I watch -- nothing. No teevee at all.

Dad and I used to tune in to KO every night, although Dad always tuned out for odd-ball. Once the Hillary bashing started I stopped watching, and after a night or two dad got disgusted and quit too.

Dad's an old-time, conservative Dem, steelworkers union, then operating engineers union worker -- always voted Dem, but can't stand Obama. (No experience, arrogant.) Didn't like Hillary at first, and originally said for the first time in his adult life he would leave the top slot on the ticket blank. Now, he says if Hillary's the nominee he'll vote for her. He says the Repubs/Media are scared of her because they know she'll beat McCain. Dad's pretty sharp for all his 81 years.

Obamacans (5.00 / 2) (#187)

trust and believe anything Obama says.  He will magically work it out and be everything to everyone in the end.
