I just posted on HuffPo re MTP and suggested after the suits realize

[monmouth]

Gregory is awful that perhaps Lawrence O'Donnell might be a good choice. Even if you disagree with this, would love your responses.. I am just so tired of the right-wing slant to every and all topics. Time for the center-left to be heard and bring MTP back to at least a semblance of the great show it used to be.

16. They still rule the MSM
I'm watching Biden on NBC right now. The host is as hostile as can be and every question is from the Reich Wing perspective. This media dominance make the GOP far more dangerous than they would otherwise be. All they need to do is cripple the internet in some manner and the country is their's.

22. "Their's" again, eh?
Obama and his team have learned how to go around and straight through the corporatemediaWhores..without which we would be now dealing with the fascist fuck mccain-palin idiot.

We have to change the tv corporatemedia.. by holding them accountable for their reich wing points.

Are you talking about david freakin'i'manassholegregory?

Thankfully, more and more Americans are on to them..and this will be done.

2. The great show it used to be??

Meet the Tim's show was a venue for the vampires to hoodwink Americans.


Example of "the great show it used to be" ...

Russert and Rumsfeld on bin Laden's mountain fortress

4. I did enjoy MTP a lot when TR was host. I agree he was a right leaner

but he did listen, he did follow-up and he just seemed a more pleasant person. He didn't do snarky I guess is what I mean.

5. MTP was at least watchable with Russert.

I rarely agreed with anything they said, but at least he called them on the ignorant and/or insane bullshit the second it flew out of their mouths. For me, it was the only RW M$M show I could watch without hurling something at the TV.

With Gregory, MTP has become an infomercial of RW talking points, no matter how illogical, lame or insane they might be. He simply allows them to rant and props them up when they stumble. With Russert, you had to be on your game or he'd pounce on your ass and tear your argument apart with facts and logic. If MTP hasn't already lost half their post-Russert ratings, then Kkkarl's been working the numbers for them.

Russert was never a friend to the left, but he was the enemy of the willfully ignorant, hateful, batshit crazy, far RW, and that's O.K. in my book.

3. A right-wing slant is exactly what the suits want. It just doesn't translate well to those who have

access to the internets.

Love this new information age -- facts can be speedily checked, lies can be detected, & people can organize at the drop of a hat when their election has been stolen.

6. Russert was at best an enabler for the war, at worst a facilitator

sorry to say it but it is true

ADM sponsors MTP and every dollar of profit they make from ethanol costs us $30-so it can not be discussed on MTP
