MSNBC has become

[Subdivisions]

Sarah Palin's book promotion company.

They are dying to me.

[goclark]

1. All of them are pushing her book like crazy

Entertainment tonight had Levi on and they are showing the book while they talk about Levi

2. it's good to step away from all cable news periodically.

It helps you regain some perspective. I'm doing that now, since nothing much is going on anyway. I only watch news on BBC, Newshour, etc without the hyperbole and commentary. It helps.

I'm not going away forever--just taking a break from it all. The constant drone is really wearing me out.

6. I've been doing that by muting the TV while working or surfing

the Internet. Even on Ed, Keith, and Rachel it's Sarah Palin this and Sarah Palin that. Heck, even right here on DU her trash is being promoted. I did a little experiment over the past week. Each day at different times I would search the front page of GD for the term "Palin". The average per day at any given time that "Palin" came up was seven. And, as they say, no publicity is bad publicity. I would venture a guess that half of DUers will get and read that twit's book based solely on curiosity.

I can no longer stomach seeing that idiot's name EVERYWHERE.

3. If you need to get news and information on the television, watch Bloomberg

every other network is garbage and gossip

It all depends what you want

[otohara]

4. This Week Willl Suck

her face will be everywhere.

[spanone]

5. started watching 15 minutes ago...already two stories about the palin in the ass

[HipChick]

7. I emailed them my displeasure, and if they are counting on people to tune in for ratings..

I won't be one of them..and that includes David and Tamron,Tweety,Ed,KO and Rachel...total boycott for a few weeks

[State the Obvious]

8. They are just doing their SET-UP WORK for next week's reporting....

.... when nothing will be discussed EXCEPT Palin's book.

Today's Classic Reporting Technique:

1. CREATE a seemingly important story
2. PRETEND the public is demanding it
3. TALK that story to death

:sarcasm:

9. They are part of a liberal conspiracy!

I didn't catch her name, but some Palin apologist nutcase was in a discussion on CNN this morning. She suggested that all of this attention might just be the "liberal media" conspiring to build up Palin so that they could shoot her down. Never mind that Palin has been going in front of camera after camera, making a complete ass of herself all on her own.

[wisteria]

10. Oh, even CNN is on the Plain thing. Oh, Clinton was asked if she would have coffee with her.

Because, Sara admires Hillary. The 2012 Presidental race has now begun with the pundits spinning and BS away. I will find better things to do with my time.:eyes:
