1. Surely couldn't see that one coming

:patriot:

2. This just in: Water is wet.

3. MSNBC is for the Democratic Party?

[blm]

4. Their night time opinion lineup since 2005 is progressive, but, MSNBC news is very pro-RW fascism

especially during daytime.

5. Thanks.

I have only caught it in the daytime for awhile now.

[BlueCaliDem]

6. Yep. I can't stand watching MSNBC during the day. About 85% of MSNBC

is pretty pro-rightwing propaganda and pro-GOP. Rarely, do I see a commentator challenge a Republican when s/he is espousing rightwing talking points that are so easily to disprove with just a few questions.

It's no wonder why Chuck Todd is exclusively on MSNBC during the daytime line-up.

7. duh

8. Larry King... widely known for his amazing profundity... NOT. n/t

12. Larry King is actually a very smart guy and qiuite liberal

He did kind of sink into the trivial mud of cable news, but his radio show was actually quite good back in the day.

And if you've ever seen King interviewed in the right setting, he's a pretty sharp guy, and is liberal.

13. Larry Coined The Term "Whacko"...

...on his radio show in the late 70s for any right wing nut who'd call in. Yep, he was very liberal and spoke fondly of his interviews with the Kennedys in the 60s as being influential in his worldview.

I would listen to Larry in the 70s and early 80s...no one was better. He was like the ballplayer that stuck around too long and lost his edge. He really wasn't a TV guy.

Cheers...

9. No shit Larry, I see no moss grows under your feet

[name not needed]

10. And CNN is a forum for dipshits who take reality TV seriously.

[blm]

11. CNN and MSNBC daytime are far more dangerous than FOX - they POSE as neutral news organizations

while catapulting pretty much every rightwing talking point about the economy/governance that exists.
