M$NBC Watch
The second mccain rally is being shown live. They have already had TWO palin rallies in their entirety on today, shown the rev wright ad several times and mrs. goldspan had a gratuitous clip of mccain saying something about "pork steak knives" as she went to break and when she came back, she lead in with a clip of mccain proclaiming "the mac is back".

WTF happened to msnbc? It's been like a nonstop mc/failin infomercial all day.

1. It usually is during the day. MSNBC is a dual-personality network.
During the day, they are spokespeople for McCain/Palin. At night, the sane ones come on and actually talk about other things.

5. So true! I think a nonpartisan media watchdog actually evaluated the networks
and said that Fox was of course the ultra right wing and CNN was in the middle with MSNBC being liberal. But the liberal nature of MSNBC was only more pronounced during the day. It kinda sucks that if you want to discuss degree of partisanship, MSNBC is still not as partisan 24/7 as Fox News is. I mean Fox is so partisan that the one guy they pay to be neutral, Shep Smith, is about the only one who's not allowed to have a point of view. That's just disingenuous! Especially when on MSNBC, you only have at most 2.5 personalities who are liberal (the .5 is for Tweety, who is rather bipolar like MSNBC :P) and the rest are rather moderate/conservative.

2. Only non idiots on MSNBC: Keith, Rachel, Schuster, Tweety & Tameron
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 02:17 PM by TexasObserver
I don't recall Tameron's last name, but she's the black woman usually working mornings. She's not a heavy hitter, but she's not an idiot like Contessa Brewer, Mika, Andrea, or Alex Witt.

6. More from bizzaaro world at msnbc. They just had a ....
commercial break and had a FOX TV ad claiming they were the number 1 network on cable TV followed up by the rev wright ad.

I shit you not. Does msnbc need money so bad that they would sell air time to a competitor like FUX? Weird.
