Hardball....getting even worse

[medeak]

I know... shouldn't watch. This is the last time listening to the "hardballers" msnbc freeper dialogue. (Bush innocent..Cindy Sheehan bashing)

That does it... obviously all our emails have not done a damn thing.

1. Friday night Hardball is the worst

all the worst of MSNBC at one time

[gimama]

2. lucky for us,they have no 'news' ALL wk-end

..they run 'specials' on people in jail, 'specially the titillating 'WOMEN BEHIND BARS'. Sick freaks..
and NO real NEWS.

3. Mushball or perhaps Shuttlecock

Hardball, of course, is a baseball term to differentiate itself from softball..

Hardball, the show is not even softball quality these days..so in the interest of remaining in a sports genre, I am proposing 'shuttlecock' as the new name..works on a few levels..badminton's a sport..and the image of a shuttlecock(also called a "birdie" by some) certainly befits that loathesome show more than the current name :)

4. I wonder if these self-impressed tv politico yappers

get pissed at being bombarded and targeted after f**king up.

I remember reading somewhere (sorry, can't remember) that a major newspaper ombudsperson reacted very negatively toward a lot of feedback that was against them.

they think they are 'not going to be pushed into doing something' - egoed out, and reacting the opposite way we would like.

just a thought..

after I saw Harry Belafonte on CNN I wrote a short note, devoid of any politics, stating it was very interesting to hear Mr Belafonte, he was articulate and I enjoyed the interview.--- that way CNN couldn't put my message in the 'democrat'/liberal/ bin, and might view it differently - more objectively.

5. Why is it getting worse? My three guesses

I haven't watched CNN or Tweety in over a week. It is pretty apparent that CNN and Tweety have both fallen into Winger Canyon and I see three possibilities:

1) BushCo is pushing the envelop and losing. With polls down and whispers of Chimpeachment growing the wing nuts are leaving all borderline media and returning to the hardcore safety of FUX Central. CNN is throwing the kitchen sink at wingers to get their attention. J.C. Watts, Beck and Bennett are joining Wolfie. At MSNBC The Tweetster is letting loose his political dogs on Dems and defending Chimpman for the same reason.

2) They are owned by pro-Chimp Corps who are demanding a protective spin from each and every mouthpiece on camera to protect their buddies, and interests.

3) CNN and MSNBC do not want to be seen as part of bringing Chimp down if the Publicans can pull through this morass and hang on to all the power they have amassed. They are so afraid of Flying Monkeys out for revenge.

Well...

6. A fourth possibility

4)They are smug, shallow,dumb, arrogent, elitist little pricks who don't have the imagination to actually think oputside of the tiny little box they have jammed themselves into.

[Disturbed]

7. The order has come down from the Media Moguls.

Defend the Neo Fascist Regime that props up the Corp. Media. The majority of the Talking Heads and so called Reporters are Presstitutes in service of the Media Whore House and the Bush Neo Fascist Regime.

8. I think it is both their scum bag elitism

and the media moguls but the people have got to stop it. Maybe boycotts (I really don't have the data)are already hurting both CNN and MSNBC so they're turning more right, but turning off is not good enough. They must be forced to change.
