Perry is a class act. Her apology was sincere. I don't believe MSNBC made her do it. She had already apologized via twitter. I believe she apologized because as a host, she felt responsible for the content of her show and the direction it took.

As a champion for families of all types, this will make her voice stronger.

I respect her.

Not so much, Glenn Beck, who knows he has a lot in his camp who aren't dealing from a full deck. His website is full of racist comments. If he had any self respect, he would clean up his own cess pool...until he does, I find anything he says suspect with an ulterior motive.

Although, I could totally understand why anyone can see, Melissa is just a good person. Period. I wish there was a better place than MSNBC for her.

maybe losing audience . we know fox is losing ratings because of demographics. the mostly older white audience that dies off is not being replaced by younger whites.

so he is a better business person and knows he needs to appeal to others.

or maybe like that michael savage guy there are a few issues where they aren't wingnuts.

or the teabaggers have gotten so bad that they haved turned off even glenn beck ?
