@ lbsles, when you post I think I am at an intelligent briefing.
Well then that makes you one up on obumbles.

Not bad, that rates on the comedy meter. lol

Mark I never see Michael Steele anymore . He did kick A. MSNBC Does not have any conservatives on. Repubs do not count.

As I said I seen many conservatives Republicans who are regulars on MSNBC. Maybe you don’t like then because like the lefties on Fox they get despined but the fact is both networks have guys on the other side to make a counter viewpoint
One guy that comes to mind who I see on alot of MSNBC shows is the guy who is the leader of the Family and Research Council, now if that isn’t a conservative at his core I don’t know who is(although eh is not a pundit for MSNBC he is on alot when it comes to social issues)
The also have Ron Christie who used to work with Dick Chenney. Michael Medved who is a conservative radio host among a host of others.
To act like Fox is the only news network that has token people from the other side and that somehow makes them “fair and balanced” is ridiculous

I guess if you pay people money they will do just about anything. That goes for libs. on FOX and conservatives on MSNBC.

I would rather have an ice pick in my eye than sit down and talk to Tingles.
An NBC Latino/IBOPE Zogby survey asked Hispanics whether they would vote for a presidential candidate with a different immigration stance than their own. Of those surveyed, 42 percent say they would, 37 percent say they will not, and another 21 percent say they are not sure if they would vote for someone with a different stance on immigration.
What issues worry Latinos the most? The economy is by far the top issue – 60 percent of Latinos in the survey say the economy is their biggest worry, and 20 percent say personal finances. Nine percent of Latinos say health is their biggest worry, 5 percent say immigration, and 3 percent terrorism. Three percent are not sure.

I pretty old like Matthews, I would love to get him in the ring and have him answer for rooting for our troops to die in the Iraq. The memory of him smiling while announcing US deaths still haunts me.

I think when you know where the paycheck is coming from you sort of hold back when it comes to attacking the network bias. I know whenever I watch Fox I just want to scream at the so call libs they have for giving the hosts a free pass when I could easily come up with an easy counter argument, same deal I assume with righties who watch the republicans/Conservative on MSNBC and see how much they let easy arguments go or refuse to stand up to the host and call them out on things.
Ironically the lefties on Fox and Righties on MSNBC probably come off the most sane on both networks. lol
Hey Doug, the difference is that MSNBC doesn’t go around saying that they are “Fair & Balanced” that way Fox News does. I mean seriously, everybody and their mother knows that Fox News is a Conservative News station that pushes the Right-Wing agenda. And guess what, there’s nothing wrong with that. Just don’t go around saying that you’re “Fair & Balanced” when you’re not.
@
Mark
I don’t have a problem with either network. The only one I truly dislike is Matthews. Rachel, Ed, Lawerence O. or even the gas bag of all gas bags Keith, more power to them. Liberals had no where to go before MSNBC put them on the air.
@
Mark and Mark2
If you watch the news reports with Brett Bair and Shep Smith they aren’t bad. They do a better job than the lib. media networks at putting out fair news.
I would consider Bair and Shep both right leaning moderates. Sure they not as biased as some but they do tend to lean to the right at times. Once again I don’t consider that “fair and balanced”.
As for your other statement, I honestly don’t get why the right hates Maddow so much. I think the fact she is a lsbian is enough reason for some. In terms of how she reports stuff I find that she has a much more lighter tone then most the others on both networks(although I guess some might find her trying to add a touch of humor condescending)
it should be pointed out the word “le$bian” is blocked so i had to take out the “e” to post it
Shep does not lean right by any means
Problem with MSNBC is that when the election is over, their ratings will fall, FOx News will stay the same!
-Rep. Paul Ryan,
Reportedly, he has been marching around his campaign bus, saying things like, “If Stench calls, take a message” and “Tell Stench I’m having finger sandwiches with Peggy Noonan and will text him later.”
He did a PowerPoint presentation for the crowd… The Romney campaign was furious. But Ryan reportedly said, “Let Ryan be Ryan and let the Stench be the Stench.”
Can you blame Paul Ryan?
LMAO!
Another great observation from a conservative. Chew on this….
Kristol: Republicans Could Lose the House
Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, who last week was in despair over Mitt Romney’s campaign, now says control of the House is within reach for the Democrats.
Kristol, writing in his magazine, cited a new Politico/George Washington University/Battleground poll that shows Democrats up 1 percentage point on a generic House ballot. He called the result consistent with previous polling and said it should be considered credible.
In previous election cycles, split popular votes and votes with small Republican margins have led to slim Republican majorities in the House. Kristol said that if President Obama’s national lead holds in the presidential election, the Republican grip on the House is not safe.
“I don’t think one can say that it’s now out of the question that we could wake up on the morning of November 7 to the prospect of … Speaker Nancy Pelosi,” the conservative pundit wrote. He said it’s time for the GOP to “start panicking.”
A rounding error suggests the situation may be worse than Kristol thinks. The poll actually shows Democrats leading the generic House ballot by 2 points.
CNBC poll: Americans think:
a) they’re worse off and
b) Obama is better for the economy.
… Wait, what?
