Olbermann/Matthews demotions

[SkinBasket]

Olberman is no different than O'reilly.

Did O'Reilly anchor the convention coverage?

As i stated..who cares. MSNBC election coverage...bfd.

Yes, this is only an issue of election coverage, not an issue of an ongoing advancement of a political agenda by a major media network, so no one should be worried if it coincidentally fits into a pattern of indoctrination via public programming.

1. You and i have a fundatmental disagreement about what constitutes major media network.

According to the conservs...everyone knows msnbc isn't fair and is liberal. Are they playing a game that you are unaware of?

2. Indoctrination..you mean like Fox? I know Fox is slanted right...you don't hear me complaining.

I think MSNBC has made the mistake of thinking that liberals want to watch a left wing version of Fox News. I watched some of the Dem Convention, and got really tired of the cheerleading. Apparently I wasn't alone. They've got a mess on their hands.

They're kind of making the same mistake as Air America. People don't enjoy the relentless negative spiteful viewpoint.
I liked Olbermann's show a lot when it first debuted. He was funny and pretty much took shots at everyone. I noticed the change to the left right away, and never tuned in again.

Just like Rush spewed in the 90s. Every night on his show he had the White House Taken Hostage story once Clinton won.

Why weren't you out in the 90's screaming about the conservative bias in the media?

And now, they've hired Air America hack Rachel Maddow for her own show. MSNBC's so far left, it's not even funny.

Now it's Kent Jones Now, With Kent Jones, Now!

This reflects the fundamental flaw in the thinking of liberals. They don't merely pretend to see Fox as right wing. They actually believe it. MSNBC is the left being as extreme on the as they PERCEIVE Fox is on the right.

However, what exactly on Fox really IS right wing? Absolutely NOTHING unless you consider the normal uncontroversial views and values of generally apolitical Americans to be right wing. They--the left--think love of country, Christian beliefs, preference for lower taxes, self-reliance instead of desire for dependence, etc.--all of those things are EXTREME or abnormal or flawed to the extent that people need to be cured of those views and values. Well, most of us simply don't see it that way. We don't want to be "cured" of our normalcy. And that's why Obama is going to lose--just like MSNBC is losing the ratings battle to Fox--just like Air America lost miserably to Rush and Hannity. Love of America beats hate of America every time!
