Can we find out how much airtime all the NBCs have given to Coulter? |

Is this something Media Matters can check into, or any other news watchdogs?
It seems they give her even more time than FOX does.
Just in this past year it seems a definite INCREASE has been ordered.

1. People love watching a train wreck |
|
And Little Annie is one helluva train wreck. MSM is all about the entertainment value and the bottom line. Of course they will milk her freakishness to the end.

2. I doubt it's for entertainment value - more like they WANT her views |
|
mainstreamed just as they did with Limbaugh, Savage, Beck.

|
but don't count the actual running time of the appearances. 7 times in less than 2 months number of appearances by ivins, chomsky, zinn, franken, rhodes, cohen, malloy, garofalo, seder this entire year: 0 remember, nbc is an example of the so-called liberal media

5. NBC = Fox. Same garbage. |
|
If anything, NBC is worse because they have more credibility. NBC has gone into overdrive propaganda mode since the Chimp's approval sunk under 40%. GE has a lot of missiles and other hardware to sell to the war machine, so they want that war machine working! They will do their best to keep the war party in power.

7. That's my point - the NBCs are more mainstream than FOX and have been |
|
expected to be honest brokers of news by the casual viewer based on their earlier history.
I'd guess most people don't even realize that GE now owns NBC.

6. I'm surprised she was on Lou Dobbs. |

Edited on Thu Jul-27-06 08:50 PM by Cleita
Randi Rhodes you know refuses to go on his show anymore since they edited out most of what she said on her last appearance. It looks like scraping the bottom of the barrel for Lou now.
On edit: Sorry I forgot Dobbs is CNN. :hide:
