1. These GNUS jerks are most likely union workers themselves...
I wonder how they reconcile their own blatant hypocrisy.

2. I noticed that earlier in the week.
I was hoping I was just over sensitve, which I really do tend to be.

13. You aren't. It has become pretty obvious...
...which side NBC and MSNBC are one...ever since 'Education Nation' started bashing teachers and unions. Now it's only getting worse. I turned it off.

Been doing that a LOT lately. :)

8. There must have been a memo
Morning Joe Scum was nothing but a union bashing fest all morning. Not ONE positive aspect of union was presented. :puke:

4. Just look at MSNBC's parent company. That all you need to know.
Giant defense and insurance industry player. I'm sure they'd love to get rid of those pesky unions and add a few more billions to the bottom line.

5. Joe Klein, William Cohen
Those guys need to stay on Fox and CNN.
There is scant balance to the wall of propaganda on all the other media outlets.
This is pretty disgusting. There are a few MSNBC shows that ARE the balance. Now Ratigan's show has the same damn union bashers as all the other outlets.

7. they'd be rewarded far more by their corporate masters at this point
Corporations really reward betrayers and mouthpieces like these douche-bags.

9. Now he's giving airtime to former NM Gov. Johnson (R)
Great, more airtime for RW propaganda. The Repuke is spewing cut social security and medicare, but don't raise taxes.

Free advertising for his (R) presidential nomination too -BONUS! Meanwhile, so many great Democrats are ignored. Great job Comcast, you are winning the Pyhrric victory of all time.

11. I don't have anything to change to
DmocracyNow! is on local cable access and was already over. There's no other source of non-corporate info for me. And it's being chipped away.

12. The liberal part of MSNBC is at night
Rachael, Lawrence, & Ed. I don't know where to fit Chris Matthews in but he sure isn't conservative.

14. Not any more. Did you see Ann Coulter on MSNBC...
...on LO's show?? During Keith's old time slot? Pathetic. I'll never watch a show that thinks she should be a guest...never.

17. OMG....He's not my favorite, but I always considered LO to be a democrat
if not a progressive...Why was she a guest?

What was their "conversation", if you will?

19. Wish I could tell you. As soon as I saw Coulter...
...I switched the channel. Made mental note not to watch Lawrence again...and became ill at the thought that it was during Keith's time slot. Yuk!

18. After giving airtime to Coulter...
...it's like the curtain has been pulled back on LO. He smears liberals from time to time, but that was just wrong. He looked like he had a thing with her too.:puke:
