Tweety is feeding his audience all kinds of misinformation on MSNBC |
|
about Plame; how she sent Wilson, how Wilson was not an objective person to send, etc, etc. Impossible to watch calmly.

28. Just In Case You Didn't Get An Answer.... OR In Case You Didn't |
|
figure it out..... Chris Matthews is what we here at DU call him, he looks like TWEETY, and is really a bubble head!!
While once working in Democratic Administrations (Carter) and aide for Tip O'Neill for a long time, he now seems to have fallen in the sword of his OTHER family members! They're Repukes!

6. There is a very visible campaign to spin misinformation. |
|
Mary Matalin was on Imus saying some outlandish things this morning. Something about how the scandal days were over.
I suspected that Patrick Fitzgerald made a mistake by delaying these indictments because I knew the media would do this. Go on the defensive. Now Tweety is part of it.

2. What a prick! Tweety must be in on the WHIG deal! |
|
Wasn't he one of the early journalists to be contacted along with Novak?
He's only making his case worse, because he's going to make himself a target if he keeps spinning misinformation. Maybe it's time to remind everyone that he was one of the people contacted by the White House and we should start a campaign to force him to reveal this to the public?

8. Yes, he's become part of the cover-up. |
|
Maybe he should be indicted also.

9. I think many, many e-mails to MSNBC correcting his misinformation |
|
would be good. He is just using all the crap that was all discredited months and months ago, and it's not playing devil's advocate. He is just utterly delusional.

4. He's not known for his "research" or "objectivity"... |
|
and thus he's not a "journalist".

5. Whenever Tweet gets a little shaken up by bad news about * |
|
he looks at the picture of W in the flight outfit with the crotch guard and drolls and it's enough to get him back on W's team.

10. He never mentioned Cheney's trips over to the CIA |
|
Acting like Libby had such a long leash he could do all sorts of things without the VP knowing aobut it. Yeah, right.
I had to leave halfway thru the interview with Herbert and Burns.
If indictments come down - you watch, Tweety will act like he'd been "reporting" on it all along.

None of it will make a damn bit of difference once the indictments come down, not even trashing the prosecutor.

when the Plame affair was getting some press, and got knocked off the news by something or other, I forget what.
People were so upset by that, but it didn't matter, and neither does any of the press spin now. The ONLY thing that matters is the indictments, or lack thereof. The rest is all what the Brits call wanking.

14. I loved his "little crime like perjury" line |
|
and then I thought back to 1998 when Tweety was all atwitter over the Clenis and the (then) amazingly important crime of perjury that threatened the presidency! Why, that perjury was so important Tweety even featured people who called Pres. Clinton a rapist!

17. I wonder how the 112,000 people who watch his show |
|
are reacting.
Get a perspective. Nothing Tweety says or does makes a difference either way. Why do you watch? I swear they keep him on air just to piss off DUers.

Listen and learn or watch and learn about that fucker. He always dangles a carrot or two trying to suck Dems in to bolster ratings--HE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. Give him another 24/48 hours and he's back to the same Bush ass kissing,boot licking ways that he's shown since even before the 2000 elections.
That ASS is never on the side of Dems,hell..he's not even on the side of fairly reporting BOTH sides of a story. Quit watching his pathetic crap show and tune in Olberman instead.I haven't given that jerk any of my time for years.

24. he's obviously been coached to protect CHENEY |
|
Both he and Mrs. Greenspan proffered all manner of chaff today -- contradicting information, disinformation, propaganda -- all designed to muddy the water, and to obliquely attack both Wilson and Fitzgerald.
Obviously, someone took Tweety to the woodshed overnight. Obviously, Andrea Mitchell has been instructed as well.
I don't think too many people will be fooled, though. Certainly not Fitzgerald.

He did, however, interrupt Kate O'Bad to note that Wilson is an expert on African affairs, even if not a WMD expert.

His manic rants tonight were *infested* with errors and misjudgments. He should get a slot as a Fellow for the other RW Propaganda Outlet for Mensa GOONS, American Enterprise Institute, AEI. No one can lie as good as these evil geniuses. They truly freak me out when they are guests on CSPAN. I hear AEI and I know some glorious palatable BULLSHIT is going to be shoveled at the masses. They are the scum of the earth ... just plain amoral. Hell, I'm going to get my garlic and crucifix just in case another RW genius FREAK appears on my television. :puke:
