Is the Morning Joe always so pro-McCain? What on earth is this?
Bizarro world. The entire panel is shilling for GOP. Repeating lines about Ayers and the BS about Obama receiving money from Fannie and Freddie.
How is this possible?

1. Pretty bad isn't it. Did you hear Mika say she thought it was funny when McCain
said "that one".

7. Yep. I can understand not seeing McCain's comment as TERRIBLE. But, at the very least, it wasn't
cute, it wasn't funny, it was just plain disrespectful.

29. She has always been in the tank for McCain and
publically roots for Palin. She went to the darkside a long, long time ago.

being that her father is a well respected man of opinion.

The designer of The Grand Chessboard is a well respected man of opinion?

2. That's Joe for you
He will fight his hardest to make sure that McCain gets elected, regardless of how ridiculous the spin he has to put on events. MSNBC early mornings, unfortunately, in many ways, might as well be Faux News.

5. They opened the program by declaring the debate as a tie. And very boring. They would have
rather watched a baseball game.

Such idiots.

3. When Obama is ahead, they praise McCain.
When McCain was ahead, they praised Obama. They are only in it to create some tension and to keep the fight between the candidates going. They have not realized that it is over with. Obama WILL be the next President.

4. They're being ridiculous and more unprofessional than usual.
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 05:29 AM by DangerousRhythm
What is this snoring shit? If it's so boring don't bother talking about it, you douches.

Mika is REALLY grating on me today with this Sarah Palin is like Obama CRAP. Apparently the "KILL HIM" and "TREASON" bullshit slipped her by because none of that goes on at Obama rallies. Ugh!

9. If they think that all there is to Barack Obama is a large draw to one of his rallies.
That's the basis for her statement. The idiot blowhard's mom and dad went to see her in Florida and, wowee, zowee, there were a lot of people there. So, therefore, since a lot of people have gobe to see Barack Obama, they are exactly alike.

6. Its entertainment not news. There is a viewership that can be sold "soap."
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 05:29 AM by HereSince1628
In a country divided by partisanship the television must be divided to reach the targets of the "soap" manufacturers.

The executives want to hit as large an audience as possible, to sell as much commercial time as possile. That can't be done on unless you have entertainment that appeals to both sides.

8. Its like Entertainment Tonight. What morning news is the best in your opinion?
We just got a television after a 5 year break, along with basic cable. I really thought MSNBC would be good because of the liberal leaning evening programs. I can't believe this BS that I am seeing.

11. Cool. I've been checking out Media Matters to see what is what and who is who these days.
I almost wish we hadn't brought the TV thing back into our house.
Still, it does help to know exactly what sort of thing most people I talk to have seen on the tube.

14. It's not the TV I dislike, it's the service that is awful
And now even the weather channel has been invaded by the jingoistic military history bullshit.

It was so good back in the olds day when cable would broadcast temperature, barometer and windspeed & directoin. It was a respite of certitude in a world gone mad.

12. Media is pro-horse race
If Obama was down by 9 points in the polls, they would want to help him out.

He & Pat=the Grumpy Old Racist Secessionists (of,course, Pat sneers that there's NO Proof about the Holocaust!)

19. I did NOT know about Pat and the Holocaust denial. WOW! No wonder he loves Sarah Palin so much.
I can't believe people like this are paid for their opinions.

20. Turn your cable box off
If Rachel Maddow is the last thing you watch before you turn the TV off at night please change your box, or turn it off as well. If your box is on it registers as a viewer when Joe Scab is on. He is getting ratings from her leftovers.

21. Morning Joe is all over the map. He likes someone one day, hates him the next
According to Morning Joe, neither one of the candidates are viable because neither one of them are Governors and have never created a job.

He can't really say anything bad about Obama without coming off as a complete fool, so what's he do...he tries to put Obama in the same boat as McCain by pointing out that both are Senators, neither are Governors, and it's only Governors who are able to create jobs. He's trying to make Obama look irrelevant by equating him with that loser, McCain. MJ can be so sickening with that whiney ass way he talks.

Next, Joe will be pointing out how one of the tickets has a Governor on it, so that's the one that can create more jobs. LOL

22. Occasionally they go off the reservation and say something Dem positive.
But I imagine that they are circling the wagons now that things look truly grim.

(Sorry for the horribly mixed metaphors)

24. Does that surprise you? Joe is a GOP congressman who murdered his
secretary and wasn't even prosecuted because he's a Repuke. The rest of them are right-wing hacks who are afraid of being scolded if they're not pro-GOP enough. what I can't believe is that any DUers watch the propaganda and then post about it.

28. They're just upset
that the Republicans are so inept that they are losing to a Black Man!!!!!!!

OMG - the world as they know/like it is coming to an end.

If Obama is elected and is even marginally successful, it will forever improve the face of the USA internally and in the eyes of the world. The old stereotypes and prejudices will have been proven false and the USA can finally have an opportunity to mature a little as a culture.
