Joe Scarborough's rails against "liberal media" - Imagine if KO or Rachel did this
Edited on Mon Aug-17-09 01:52 PM by RamboLiberal
Imagine if KO or Rachel spokes like this to a Democratic group. The howls of outrage! Snippets from article.

TUSCALOOSA | It was a true homecoming for MSNBC talk show host Joe Scarborough when he came back to the University of Alabama campus Thursday as the keynote speaker for the local Republican party's annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner.

In his 25-minute address to more than 500 of the party faithful at the Bryant Conference Center, Scarborough was entertaining and seemed to be entirely sensible. To my surprise, he drew applause a couple of times when he criticized the rightwing fringe for some of their more outrageous attacks on President Barack Obama and the Democrats.

He said it just wasn't "smart politics" to call Obama a Nazi or to claim his health care proposal includes "death panels."

Scarborough also excoriated the "liberal media" and said knowingly he had "looked behind the curtain" and that "it's worse than you think," even if local cable subscribers can't judge for themselves because Comcast does not carry MSNBC, something that really should be corrected.

And at least on Thursday, Scarborough was unabashedly partisan, invariably saying "we" when he talked about Republicans, their causes and strategies and how "we" can take over Congress again. In other words, he left no doubt whatsoever that he was still a proud, card-carrying member of the GOP.

3. But KO and, especially, Maddow are always railing against the "liberal media."
Of course, they do it tongue in cheek while reporting on MSM outrages.
