Tweety's Fox-Styled Reporting
Did anyone other than me watch this god-awful mess? I swear I had to check the channel, because it smacked of the fearmongering Foxians...

3. Only because fox is cleared in a larger part of the country
There are a lot of places that don't get MSNBC.

8. So? More visitors go to the monkey cages to watch them fling shit
Does that make them better?

Tweety is lowballing his supposed journalism for ratings -- pulling the same shit, as it were, as Fox. MSNBC should be receiving complaints about this *shit shotgun* piece of his.

7. Did we watch the same program??? Tweety is not approving and
certainly is warning America of the potential danger.


Fox PROMOTES and ENCOURAGES the Radical Right.

9. his piece was bullshit -- not journalism at all. He's gathering bits of crazy
Edited on Thu Jun-17-10 02:24 AM by Donnachaidh
in videos and calling it *reporting*. It's not.

He may not be promoting and encouraging the right -- but he's sure fearmongering with a shotgun. This was NOT an in-depth piece. I'll bet dollars to donuts he and his friends sat in a bar and wrote the entire piece on bar napkins.

Rachel does investigative reporting. Tweety's pulling out pieces to clump together to keep his ratings up. It's an embarrassment to watch this drek.
