MSNBC should have its airwave license removed
Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 07:37 PM by debbierlus
Okay - they have NO evidence to support this THEORY but MAN, they are running with it.

They give three possible scenarios for the Texas shooting.

And, the one that they droned on about forever was that the person was acting on orders from a Al Queda operative who told people on military bases to conduct shootings such as this one.

Terrorism....Al Queda....here we go. And, the shooters last name is Hasan and he is a muslim.

Let's just prime it right up for Limbaugh. Let's get the right wing wackjobs good and riled.

2. Except, they don't broadcast over the airwaves.
They are cable/satellite channel.

Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 07:41 PM by nc4bo
just reading some of the bs on other news networks, your advice could probably apply to all/any of them right now.

I Rec'd since I believe that it is the news networks responsibility to report the facts as the news not rumors and speculation. In fact, it should be demanded by all of us.

Very irresponsible and disgraceful.

9. Worse than that really
Not even a real Al Qaeda operative (whatever that is), but some dumb kid named Adam Pearlman who Cheney hired to play a "terrorist" and did a really crappy job of it.

13. MSNBC doesn't have an airwave license
never did, never will. Are you sure you're not confusing them with Fox?? Most if not all sources know the truth that the guy converted to Islam and was an Army Major psychologist.

14. Sorry Hugo, that doesn't fly in America.
Besides which, they are a cable channel, MSNBC doesn't broadcast over the air.

If you are displeased with television content, talk to the channel about it. How did we get to government shutting down media outlets?

19. MSNBC seemed to be very careful to caution against judging the motivations
They are talking about the aspects of this very carefully and appropriately, IMO.

33. and should DU be shut down by the government because some DUers engage in speculation
