Do Not Watch Hardball Tonight!!!

[redstateblues]

I just got the Hardball daily briefing and the orders have come down from GE apparently- All Wingnut panel plus many stories designed to demoralize Dems- They must know they are losing- because Rove's talking points are the blueprint for tonight. Do Not Watch!!

[swag]

1. That piece of shit is still on the air?

[julialnyc]

2. who is on?

[candy]

3. Now I will watch----Know thine enemy! n't

[Goldmund]

4. Man...

Whenever somebody tells me to not do something, I always get an unstoppable desire to do just that.

[Reciprocity]

5. Thanks for the heads up.

I normally tune in to see if the good Tweety or the bad Tweety has reared his ugly head.

[rkc3]

11. I thought it was a "watery tart handin' out swords..."

[Canuckistanian]

14. "a watery bint lobbing scimitars" in one version

[rkc3]

19. There's more than one version - no wonder I find something new each time.

[DefenseLawyer]

20. I told you

we're an anarcho-syndicist commune!

[TheDebbieDee]

21. I thought it was "some moistened bint". :)

[Thrill]

6. No one is influenced

by these Cable News Networks.

[jbond56]

12. tivo

I love tivo.


Lately I get through hardball in 20-24 minutes these days.

[Raster]

7. Ah, that would be GE, "we bring good things to war profiteers."

[ogradda]

8. well now i have to watch

i'm always disapointed when tweety is particulary media-whorish.

[apnu]

9. Thankfully I have class tonight. n/t

[mzmolly]

10. Do you have a link or the text?

I don't dispute what your saying, but I'd like the context.

:hi:

[AmerDem]

13. a lil detail would be nice

no?

[liberal N proud]

15. I agree and I will not watch, but someone needs to be the

watchdog for us and tell us what crap we can expect.

[Cocoa]

16. they've gone into overdrive

last couple of days, they've stopped trying to hide that they are part of the Bush reelection effort.

[Historic NY]

31. need to freep their poll

[AlCzervik]

17. Could you tell who will be on at least?

[Mojambo]

18. You shouldn't be watching EVERY night n/t

[tritsofme]

22. Does anybody watch Hardball on any night?

Don't they only have something like 10 regular views?

[tomfodw]

23. How do they get away with this?

They don't even pretend to be balanced.

[quinnox]

24. I deleted msnbc

I don't watch that channel for past month, it got too bad in their GOP spin. As far as Mathews, I don't and won't watch his show anymore regardless.

[Contrary1]

25. But we also need

to send an email to let them know we won't be watching.

[neoSattva]

26. Al Sharpton, Norman Lear & David Boies

Don't strike me as GE Wingnuts
but, I agree, the panel is the usual media mediocre

It's long but here's the main event:

27. Thanks, but I'll be with Michael Moore tonight anyway. Anyone

else going to Decorah, IA?

[Fed Up]

28. His audience could fit inside 4 ballparks.

Nobody will see it.

[onecitizen]

29. I already stopped.......

after his treatment of Ron Suskind the other night I said "no more"! He was so rude to him. Similar to how he treated Phil Donahue. When he gets jealous of some guys, he treats them badly. How juvenile?

[fugop]

30. The Suskind interview

That interview was an absolute disgrace. I only watch Matthews in bits and pieces (I can't take his pompousness. Or his arrogance. Or both.), but I tuned in to see Suskind. Freakin' Matthews just would talk right over Suskind and was so clearly contemptuous of what Suskind was saying.

Still, it was all worth it for when Suskind told Tweety he needs to get out of the Beltway more. Truer words were never spoken.

[onecitizen]

34. I hear ya! nt

[no name no slogan]

32. Who even watches that tripe in the first place?

"Hardball" is to politics what "Inside Hollywood" is to the entertainment industry.

I've never watched except for that 15 min. Jon Stewart was on, and even that was way too much to stomach at once.

Good riddance to bad garbage.

[IrateCitizen]

33. Don't watch it any other night, for that matter!!!

I'd rather pull out my own toenails and dip my toes in hydrogen peroxide than watch that drivel.

[Reciprocity]

35. OMG I think I'm going to be sick!!

Silver, Whore and some old guy Ron, and multiple Matthews.

[Shopaholic]

36. Don't watch Tweety anymore--it's Keith Olbermann only for me

on MSNBC. Other than that, I've quit watching ALL cable news whores except for Lou Dobbs on CNN.

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. Or any other night!

[shelley806]

38. Hardball just now

I was about to post, because Chris Matthews just lost power with Norman Lear, and when it came back on there was no explanation or apology. THIS STINKS. Let's all write in protest...clog up his email!
