11. I whole heartedly Second that motion!
Turn that Shit OFF!
I understand the idea of monitoring the enemy, but that can be done by transcript and other web options.
I turned off cable news as the Saddam Statue fell in the square while the big throng of cheering people watched.
I have not watched one single minute of CAble news since-- with the exception of Jon Stewart.

Turn that shit off, especially the squawking yellow ass-hat Tweety.
I was once a fan, he makes me puke now.

3. He's as bad as Scrub.
When the Scrubbies pack up and head back to Crawfish, they need to take their tweety bird with them.

4. Posting from My Dupe
Letting him blather on and on. Whereas the other time he did his cobra thing on the swiftbot, this time he's doing the kid gloves thing, and is focusing on JK-dealing-with-N.Vietnam.

Tweety, "Both my brothers were Navy ROTCs and both went over. We may disagree but with all due respect."

I got none for either Tweets or the swiftbot. Thank Zeus Frank RICH is next.

5. What a WHORE Tweety is !
The first question that any JOURNALIST would ask Oneil would be why he lied about Cambodia, and then changed his story threee times, after the tape was discovered with him telling tricky dick that he was IN cambodia.

After being caught lying why should Tweety or any serious journalist believe ANYTHING oneil says ! ?

Tweety's a whore !

6. For every Zell Miller moment
Tweety has about 10 hours on his back with his legs in the air.

14. Agreed. This needs to be hammered home.
If we don't watch, we hurt them. Stop helping them put this shit on the air. Stop being a notch on their ratings belt.

If the sponsors see less for their dollar, as in declining ratings, the cost of advertising goes down. If the cost of advertising goes down, the board of directors will force changes in their product(anchors.)

9. Does anybody have a contact number for MSNBC?
I'm not looking for their rarely used viewer call-in number, I'm looking for a complaint line. It's time for tweety to molt. He needs to be put in his place.

12. Holy crap, I just tuned in...what the hell is O'Neill talking about???
I've been off of the whore media for about a month (been on vacation and then recovering from vacation....too busy to make time for the right wing news) - What is this crap they're concocting about Kerry and some North Vietnamese leader? It can't be true. I had to turn it off, but please someone catch me up to date. Thanks.

16. Change the channel.
When I saw O'Neill I almost wretched. I turned Hardball off immediately.

Why in the hell is this guy getting so much airtime? This is outrageous.

Once a whore, always a whore, I guess. Tweety will never be able to redeem himself in my eyes.
