msnbc = more sheen @ nbc

[spanone]

how much is enough?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

1. He's turned into Palin...he doesn't know when to shut the hell up

Keeps trying to out-do himself. It's way past the point of being "amusing."

[Uncle Joe]

3. I don't view the tragedy to be Sheen so much as the corporate media obsession with him.

They spent more time covering him on the morning propaganda programs than the ramifications and developments of the showdown in Wisconsin.

It's just more shiny bauble corporate media propaganda working to dumb down the American People.

[spanone]

11. i agree 100%

[walldude]

15. Maybe he would if they stopped pointing the camera at him

:shrug:

[CTyankee]

2. they went on and on ad nauseum about sheen on morning joe today.

Pointless, irrelevant, silly, stupid, idiotic...

[TuxedoKat]

7. Yes, Joe was particularly obnoxious

(as usual) with his insensitive and offensive comments about Sheen. In general he seemed particularly whiny and petulant today too with nasty remarks about the president and the Wisconsin protesters. Kudos to Mika for standing up to that bully.

[CTyankee]

26. She's gonna have to do a lot more of it if she wants to live down the

"piece of ass" comment. I hope she does or leaves the show after slapping Joe silly some morning on live TV...

[flakey_foont]

4. very few things in this world

that I care even LESS about than that schmeadle?

[DJ13]

5. It could be worse I suppose

Sheen could have gone missing on Aruba..........

[truebrit71]

20. ..and been accused of shagging/killing an intern...

..then we'd NEVER hear the end of it..

[liberal N proud]

6. I am afraid he will be a statistic one day too soon

He appears to be on a binge that will surpass all binges.

[TuxedoKat]

10. I feel badly for his family

they must be suffering so much to have everyone witness this public meltdown. Lawrence O'Donnell, who knows Martin Sheen from the West Wing had the best and most sympathetic reporting on the situation. The saddest thing I think I heard last night was when he quoted Martin Sheen speaking about his son's situation, he said, "It means we just have to love him even more." Heartbreaking.

8. Apparently not enough for you,

Since here you are, complaining about Sheen on DU, thus dragging those of us who have been studiously avoiding all things Sheen into the morass we have have avoided on TV.

[spanone]

12. you poor thing.

and to think you could have avoided this thread too

[ProfessorGAC]

17. That's What I Was Going To Say

Ya beat me to it.

Some people are just so darned serious all the time. Can't have anything distract them from the catastrophe du jour.

[pipi_k]

14. OMG the same thing happened to ME!!!!

One minute I was doing laundry and the next minute I found myself being dragged by invisible forces to the computer, where a giant hand forced me to click on this topic and read it. I tried mightily to click on the "hide thread" button, but was overwhelmed by a force I couldn't fight.

:scared:

[Dappleganger]

18. =10000

[Critters2]

25. You owe me a keyboard!!!

:spray:

[Stinky The Clown]

22. I'll bet you fail to see the irony of your post

[spanone]

24. i would fail if i worked for m$nbc ...as an observer i see none

[Shagbark Hickory]

9. Its rediculous. Who gives a damn about this media whore?

[walldude]

16. The media...

they like their whores.

[Upton]

13. Interesting...

the haters dislike Sheen so much and are so tired of hearing about him ..they just can't wait to start another thread about him.

[Uncle Joe]

21. This thread isn't about Sheen, it's about the obsessive corporate media coverage of him, especially

during a time when far more critical and important events are taking hold here in the U.S. and abroad.

This thread is criticism of corporate media behavior, Sheen just happens to be latest example of their dumbing down propaganda at work.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. If you can still point to Wisconsin on a map . . . . .

. . . . it isn't enough.

[sad sally]

23. Hey, look at this over here! Hey look, hey look, come on look over here!

Instead of real reporters digging up real news, news channels cater to the short attention span - that's what those advertisers want. The continual dumbing down of America - get rid of teachers, hire more cops, spoon out the pablum.

[AngryAmish]

27. Winning!

[PBS Poll-435]

28. Well, when your Dad was President...

You tend to get attention in the world of our awesome media.
