@Sicilian Papa
Thats because he gets paid by the second and not the hour I guess
The lib. media is ignoring the Susan Rice comments. The comments would be devastating to the Prez.
Sicilian Papa, I wish Jeffie would do that. But noooo he has to come in and mock the 12 step program that has helped and is helping millions of alcoholics and drug addicts. Nothing but class from Jeffie. Anthony pls take note that those who supported your post a couple of years ago don’t really support you.
Mark wrote: “I never get why MSNBC feels the need to play jail documentaries on Friday nights after Maddow. They would be better served doing reruns of the best segments of all shows on Friday”
Outside election cycles, the documentaries bring MSNBC more viewers in the demo than their regular weekday programs. They used to claim dominance in one of the young demos (other than A25-54, I don’t remember which) on the strength of their weekend run of documentaries. Instead of a third run of Hardball on Friday, they could have repeated ‘Politics Nation’.

Well said DB!
I said it before and I will say it again, Cant Fix Stupid!!
I get a kick out of the libs here going crazy over MSNBC election driven ratings when Fox continues to double and sometimes triple their ratings. Its like these polls that show Obama ahead, that have oversampled dems. Its like they are leading 1 to 0 in the first inning but the dems are keeping score only for their team. The other teams runs don’t count.
@
Coffee Steve
I used to cringe when the Bush people would say stupid things but they would get pounded by the corrupt vermin in the lib. media. The media is a nice poodle to own. Lets talk about Kate’s knockers.
@Sicilian Papa
The lib. media is ignoring the Susan Rice comments
They could produce a video showing a flat out attack and no protest crowd and a video produced a day before of the terrorist saying they were going to do it, and the WH would still win the Media game because we all better get used to the fact, they are not going to report anything of value to put him in a bad light.
Bit now if Romney’s dog passes gas? Week long stories on his animal abuse on how they don’t feed the dog right, Polls will be taken, horror stories of dogs starving and pictures and videos of sad looking dogs.
Rat, can’t fix low class either!!
@
Mark, Apple
Also a lot of the MSNBC viewers can relate to prisons.
Coffee, I hope Romney’s dog never craps on the carpet, we will have a full day of the media following the stuff down the sewer to analyze its contents. Actually it might be fun watching that!!!
@AppleStinx and Mark
I have to admit, the numbers MSNBC has been getting has to help their moral there. Not bad considering what they were doing.
@DB
LOL, GREAT one!
*Libyan president: ‘Completely unfounded and preposterous’…
I tell you what, the Libyan President is starting to get alitte upset being called a liar
The account that the attack started suddenly backs up claims by a purported Libyan security guard who told McClatchy Newspapers late last week that the area was quiet before the attack.
“There wasn’t a single ant outside,” the unnamed guard, who was being treated in a hospital, said in the interview
He doesn’t have the information we have,” the U.S. official said of Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif. “”He doesn’t have the (data) collection potential that we have.”
Another Libyan source stated “There was no protest and the attacks were not spontaneous,” adding the attack “was planned and had nothing to do with the movie.”
To be continued…
Been watching CNN all day at work. They have hardly talked about Romney at all. They have been talking mainly about Egypt and that whole mess. So when you guys say “THE MEDIA” you mean MSNBC I guess. Fox News does the same exact thing MSNBC does. MSNBC will come up will all kinds of cooky things to attack Romney on….sounds kind of like Fox News with Obama….
If it mocked you DB, cool!!
@Suikostinger
I’ve actually been somewhat impressed with CNN the past few days, yep, they still do the Overplay on the video and stuff on Romney, but they have been balancing it out with hard news on the protest.
By the way, it does seem to be calming WAY down in Egypt now. I haven’t watched Fox much so I can’t say how they are doing, I did watch Special Report tonight though, seemed to be fair coverage.

I saw a line of attack on CNN first reported by Mother Jones about comments at fundraiser.

Fertilizer Boy can't appreciate 12-step programs because he's not yet old enough, or bright enough, to climb 12 steps. lol

So you attack them for doing that once or twice in a day. Yet FN lights up Obama and the Democrats many many more times than that on dumber things….yet you can’t see through that……….?
