Stop. Watching. Hardball!!

[stopbush]

and stop posting about it at DU.

He's the worse. He lies as much if not more than O'Leilly.

If you quit posting alerts, no one will be left to watch Tweety and his stupid TV apperances will end.

As I've said before: I swear that the only reason they keep Hardball on TV is to piss off DUers.

1. See my post

Tweets is a Facsist!

[liberalnurse]

2. I was watching Dean.....

Plus, we need to keep tabs of the media temperature......it has to be done to know our adversary.

[stopbush]

6. The whole MSM is our adversary, and it's not like they change their

tactics.

What can one possibly hope to learn about Tweety at this point?

[JuniperLea]

12. Talking points, spin

So you can be prepared with the TRUTH in response...

[JuniperLea]

10. What liberalnurse said!!!

The best way to be prepared is to know your adversary!

Thanks, libnurse! Now I have something else to say when my b/f tries to mute the TV when Bushie and his liars talk. I want to know what they are saying so I can be prepared with THE TRUTH should I need to combat a RWNut talking point!

[liberalnurse]

17. You are welcome ....

O8) :hi:

[Wickerman]

3. Give that poster a beer!

:toast: :beer: :toast:

The only way Tweety stays on TV is by making his bi-weekly swerve to the center, (not the Left, kiddies) giving false hope to the non-cynical.

[JuniperLea]

4. I find it sharpens my debate skills to watch the liars lie

I remember telling my grand-dad that "the people in the TV" couldn't hear him sitting in his living room talking back to them. He'd have a good laugh on me these days;)

[Pirate Smile]

5. Can we watch if Howard Dean is on? I'll watch whatever the hell I want.

Don't open the threads about it if you don't like it.

[TomInTib]

7. Done. I think he had Distemper as a child.

I had a dog once that had distemper as a puppy.
Every once in a while I would think I could trust him and, just when I let my guard down, he would bite me or someone else.
Sometimes you just gotta put 'em down and that is what I've done with the tweetster.

[stillcool]

8. Too true....

no matter how hard you try you will not get an apple from a pear tree.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

9. Agree. Agree. Agree.

People who think they're actually getting valid information or insights from watching crap like this are people who need to go back and read some good old American history so as to get a proper perspective.

Tweety and his ilk are nothing but needy and desperate know-nothings who once had jobs reporting the news, but who have morphed - for reasons I'll never understand, but maybe it's just all that empty air time- into people who actually believe they're newsworthy.

They're not. They do nothing. They know nothing. And watching them makes you stupid.

16. when tweety talks to real reporters it can be interesting.

If he has a panel of reporters from WaPo,Newsweek, and other "legit" news sources comparing notes regarding what they are finding out in thier reporting, it can be pretty interesting.

Sadly he doesn;t do as much of that as he should. but he does do it occasionally. and I can always fast forward thru the repug talking heads.

And that being said he has had the best plamegate coverage on tv recently

[Bouncy Ball]

23. Hear, hear.

[AlCzervik]

11. can we also include Hannity and Colmes, Larry King, and Joe dead girl

Scarborough?

[stopbush]

13. Sure, but for some reason, those gasbags don't seem to eat up bandwidth

at DU like Tweety does.

[porphyrian]

14. Regardless of your intent, if you watch, you are a viewer...

...and you are helping them make money and stay on the air. Don't listen to or watch any right-wing propaganda if there's any chance they can profit from it or you are supporting them. And don't talk about them or post about them or you are advertising for them for free. Even if you are saying bad things about them, you are keeping them in the public consciousness, and that keeps them employed and well-paid. If you really want to hurt them, let them fall into anonymity. Ignore them. Forget their names. Talk about liberals instead.

Do whatever you want really, just be informed.

[Rainscents]

15. I stop watching all the whores long time ago!

Comcast is always calling me to upgrade... I will always say, WTF for? My head is already spinning and don't want to spin out of control! They always hang up the phone on me! LOL

[July]

18. Agree. He is not a journalist.

As his announcement of an unverified report about Democrats "just handed to him" by his producer shows.

[stopbush]

19. His show isn't worth watching...and few do!

Hardball ranks behind Olbermann, Aaron Brown, Paula Zahn, Nancy Grace, Wolf Blitzer, Scarborough Country, Anderson Cooper, Lou Dobbs, American Morning, Dayside...and a host of other similar programs.

Why would one take Hardball's pulse as being indicative of what Dems need to view to see what the RW is spinning to the country? It makes no sense. In July, he averaged just 313,000 veiwers per night. What's that? About 1.15% of the country watching him on a given night?

Obviously, nobody cares and nobody is listening...which means that he has ZERO impact on the debate.

20. Email them, even if you've stopped watching.

Email and tell them you wish you could buy the products they're probably advertising, but since Tweety and Joe are such obvious RW hacks you can't watch. I once asked msnbc if they'd send me a list of their advertisers in case I miss an interesting consumable.
:sarcasm:

[Rainscents]

21. Done!

[Bouncy Ball]

22. I don't watch any of that shit.

For those saying we have to watch to keep tabs on the enemy, that's what mediamatters.org is for.

Give them a donation instead.
