MSNBC:Scarborough likens Dan Rather/CBS to Taliban

[SoCalDemocrat]

Watching it now. What a total POS.

Scarborough is demanding an investigation, and criticizing CBS for not having it. His guest is comparing them to the Taliban. God I hate this guy.

We really need better regulation of the news networks. If they are not going to do news, then they shouldn't call themselves NEWS. Call it an Editorial show.

1. Will they push too far??

This is getting interesting. I wonder how far CBS and Dan Rather can be pushed before they do an entire show on corrupt cable "news" and Rove's intimidation of the press. That would be stellar, maybe this will be the catalyst that finally breaks it all open.

2. scarborough should watch what he says..

maybe Mr. Rather could do an investigative report about that intern.

3. That guy sucks a$$..

5. Not a bad idea

[stickdog]

4. It's so unreal. The report was 100% true. The documents were 100% real.

How can they get away with this shit every time?

[Union Thug]

6. Scarborough is a laughable buffoon.

turn it off.

[Mojambo]

7. Rove must be working the phones like crazy. n/t

[Sugarbleus]

8. Dan Rather is the Taliban now??? LOL

Oh, hell...I'm sick of it all. I think it's just ratings. They KNOW better. Dan Rather is a veteran journalist, fercrissakes! Rather was doing real journalism when scarborough was in diapers.

You're right; these aren't NEWS programs, they are ratings driven, hollywood staged, media events

MSNBC is way behind Fox in ratings: fox at 2.7 MSNCB at .07
MSNBC probably invokes madness in order to cull away some viewers from Faux.... it's all money and politics.

I'm learning to just turn it off.

9. wow, if you can't argue the argument, go personal-----again.

this is just so old it's not even funny anymore. can't they come up with something new?

[HawkerHurricane]

10. I liken Scarbourough...

to a man who had a dead employee found in his office under suspicious circumstances, but whose power and influence prevents a real investigation.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Yeah, well...

maybe half of the 16 people watching Scarborough might give a shit what he or his guests have to say.

There's over 120 million people voting in November, and a hell of lot more of them watched or heard about CBS than some schmuck on cable "news."

OK, so Scabby is one tiny cog in the huge rightwing lie factory, and talk radio will have more of an effect, but CBS is still CBS.

And NBC is having a Kitty Kelly marathon on "Today."

It's getting out there.

12. Hmmm.

1. Would that be the same Taleban bush's handpicked "president" Karzai says should be allowed positions back in the government because "only a handful" of Taleban were "bad guys" anyways?

2. Would that be just more SOP of the rightwingnuttery, comparing anyone who DARES speak anything out of lockstep
to Hitler/Saddam/Pinochet/Taleban/Terrorists et al?

3. Or would that be the same Taleban George W. Bush paid $40 million of our money to in August 2001?

Just wondering.

[Michael Harrington]

13. Also...

The same band of Taliban thugs, nourished as part of that sick fuck Reagan's little fantasy freedom army, the Mujahadeen.
