Not surprisingly, heavy pro-McCain spin from MSNBC this morning.
Did they make a deal with whomever that they'll hand over the low-rated morning show to daily McCain info-mercials in exchange for putting KO and Rachel on in the kick-ass time slot? The crap coming out of Joe and Pat's mouths this morning is stunning. Trotting out every right-wing shill to say how this will benefit McCain because Americans will look to someone with experience, while Barack is in the pocket of Wall Street. It's like Morning Alice In Wonderland, even worse.

1. There MAY have been a trade-off...
The daytime hours on MSNBC are decidedly RW. They put the truth on later in the day.

2. Joe is scum
I'm just glad it is on early. Imagine if he was still in his old time slot.

3. Daytime GETV specializes in deceit.
Which is why I no longer watch.

4. "Experience" is what created this mess.
Experience meaning years and years in Congress...working the system...cutting deals for the benefit of corporations, not the American people.

"Experience" is exactly what Americans DON'T WANT right now. We want CHANGE.

CHANGE and EXPERIENCE are two different things, and right now experience doesn't seem to mean much. And as usual, Joe & Co. are out of touch with mainstream America...right wing talking points seem to be the standard for this show, which is why I NEVER watch it. :(

Did you read that, MSNBC advertisers? I don't see your ads because I don't watch MSNBC because of their poor morning programming. You'll catch me during Olbermann or Maddow, but that's it on MSNBC!

5. Aren't they owned by GE - a company that wants part of the rescue plan?

7. Yes, that's right.
Their owner is now on the welfare list.

6. John King of CNN calling in to the Bill Press show - same subject - King reports
on the people's doubt or lack of knowledge about what Obama would do - Press more or less listening and leading him. Very disappointing.

The BIG FIVE WHITE HOUSE AND CORPORATE NETWORK PROPAGANDA NETWORKS still reign.

Press than had Sen Bernie Sanders on and he was excellent, as usual.

Why do so many Dems defer to these big five? We need to know more about what our people think, not John King.

8. At 7:00 am Joe was saying how really bad this is for McCain. Pat
agreed and Mika stuttered. Wow, how a couple of commercials can change things, or when a fax is delivered from upstairs...LOL.
