For years now on Fox news, the weekly standard would run ads for there magazine. Now I noticed recently that the Nation is running ads on MSNBC. Could O'Leilly be right?

Tweety and Dead Intern Joe still work there. and the rest of their programming is Prison Planet. no, MSNBC is far from being "our Fox News".

5. This minute, Tweety said if we were Parliamentary, W would be out |
|
Shocks the hell out of me that he even uttered the words.

MSNBC knows Olberman saved them and now all of there shows ratings are up because of him. Why would a neutral network run ads for a slanted Nation magazine.

9. The Nation is no less "slanted" |
|
than Time, for cripes sake. every MSM "news magazine" spent much of the last 6 years in total wetness and thrall to Bu$hCo. i don't always agree with everything in The Nation, but it's more truthful overall than any of the MSM "news magazines".

Simply put, the MSM will NEVER side with the forces of truth and justice.

6. Has anyone on MSRNC called for GOP congressmen to be executed? |
|
No.
Has anyone called any GOP conrgressmen traitors or enemies of America? No.
Does MSRNC have a liberal:con, or even Dem:Rep ratio of 100:1? No
Do any former MSRNC anchors work for Dems in government, like Snow Job? No
But Drudge probably agrees with you

8. Excuse me, but as least MSNBC has Keith Olbermann. |
|
Besides, it's fun to watch to see how often Keith makes BillO "Worst Person in the World." :evilgrin: Keith's ratings have gone up, and O'Leilly's have gone down. I love it. Bill's head is going to explode soon if he doesn't watch out and take better care of himself while he's on the air.

10. They're definitely the least rightist |
|
I'm not familiar with their anchors, but I saw one anchor laying down point after point against Bush in the hour before his big speech today.

But at least they have the guts to put a liberal show on and they should be applauded for that. However, Tucker, MAtthews, Scarborough, not liberal. With the exception of Matthews they are conservatives with a conscience and are angry with the President.

12. MSNBC is our best bet to be our Fox news someday, |
|
There is Olberman, and although Scarborough has been making efforts to be less obnoxious to liberals and Matthews could be worse, they are certainly not anything like I would like to see as a "liberal" channel. I think there is a chance that, given the increased popularity and power of liberals and Democrats today, it could steer in that direction. Olberman has been carrying the channel almost single handedly, it is true, but maybe thay will see that their most liberal commentator is their most popular, and act accordingly. I hope so.

15. Unlike Faux News, Scarborough has realized it's time to jump ship |
|
It's not that he's less obnoxious to liberals, it's that he has decided to stop spewing propaganda for Bush because he realizes that defending him just isn't worth it.

They have 1 show (KO) that comes from a liberal viewpoint, and that show most of the time is just making fun of stars or silly radio morning show news items.
I would not call that a far left wing news channel like Fox is to the far right.

14. Yea, if Keith Olbermann were on 24/7 |
|
MSNBC is much closer to being balanced than FAUX, no question about it, but it's not slanted to the left by any means. The Nation just advertises on MSNBC because they know that liberals are more likely to watch it than FAUX or CNN (which has lower ratings in general because it has become complete crap).
