Please tell my why the MSNBC pundits or "journalists" feel it necessary
speak for the Republicans and offer the RW talking points? Is this the role of the media? I am calling for Chris Matthews to be fired by MSNBC for his behavior toward Rev. Al Sharpton tonight. But now I am adding his behavior after the Kerry speech to the e-mail.

1. Tweety is a RACIST just like David Duke.

2. Matthews
He was trying to bait Sharpton, just like the reporter tried to do with Theresa prior to the convention. Sharpton didn't bite at all. Good for him and sham on you Twetty!

4. It looks like they recently fully sold out to the Republican party....
I wonder how much money did the Republicans bribe all these reporters with. Shows how now the News Media has been mostly bought by the Republican Party....

5. Not recent, but their existence depends on pandering to
Republicans. They let Bush slide in 2000...they can no longer hide their institutional bias.

3. Cable and network news anchors

are bound by the policies of their employers. They are not journalists, they're entertainers and propaganda pushers. That's why you'll never see one of them breaking ranks or going off the script - this is what they get paid to do.
