What the hell is wrong with MSNBC?

[Archae]

They just had a debate on this college republican group that is handing out $250 "scholarships" to whites only.

They had a guy from Air America, and to "defend" this "scholarship," who do they get?
Bush's whore, Armstrong Williams. :grr:

1. I do not see the problem is MSNBC

Air America has put Armstrong Williams on staff to speak for Air America on "lefty issues".

Air America is the problem, not MSNBC.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. earlier they had to neoGOPers talking about how the dems are

screwing up IraqNam.

It makes sense. They cannot understand that the people voted these shits out just yet. And for another few weeks, they are right. We won't take office until January.
I suggest we just let them blab away. They are past the point of looking silly. Once they start looking irrelevant, then we can start acting.

6. Their new meme: Dems screwing up Iraqnam

I agree. Send more troops (which will not work) it will be the Dems fault for not being willing to send enough...or sending any. Don't send more troops, and it will most definitely be the Dems fault the war was lost.

The war is already lost, as is was before it was started.

Watch out for the falling dollar and currency markets. Raise taxes? It is all the Dems fault. Let us hope that the Dem do their homework, preempt the spin, and make sure that the American public understands what's going on.

3. I saw that---now remember...

ALL MAJOR MEDIA is owned by Republican Factions.

Let's check out MSNBC for example.

MSNBC is owned by NBC.
NBC is owned by General Electric.
General Electric makes what?

Toasters, Microwaves, Televisions, Washing Machines and?

Every conceivable tool of death and destruction that a major defense contractor could produce.

Think that things have been good while the Bush Family Evil Empire is in power?

There endeth the lesson.

By the way, I hate those nasty little Nazi College Republicans.

Did you also notice that none of them were interested in going to IRAQ?

4. air america hired armstrong williams?

if so they have jumped the shark.

[Cleita]

5. They did some months ago. We all had raised eyebrows here.

Speculation is that Air America has been infiltrated by neo-cons to destroy it from within, a tactic they have been using a lot lately, like at AARP and the Sierra Club.

7. This is from the Rachel Maddow Blog

<snip>
As of September 18th, the morning show on 1600AM in the NYC area will STILL be the Armstrong Williams thingie. It's not an Air America show; it is the new NYC local affiliate's decision to keep that show in that timeslot. Williams and his co-host are employees of WWRL (1600AM), the local NYC affiliate of Air America, not of Air America itself.

This maybe a screw-up on MSNBC part. Maybe the OP may want to E-mail Air America for clarification.

9. so its just an affiliate thing? AA has had little control over the

affiliate programming.

10. This is a tried and true ploy they use.. They love to "piggyback"

on so-called liberal venues.

and we keep letting them do it.:grr:

it's a win -win for them too.. Their "followers" understand that this means they have successfully infiltrated yet another "librul" bastion...and to the progressives, it;s a stomach-churning event, and may cause them to listen to/read less of what the "parent" organization is offering.

Dopey bosses think it's "broadening" their fanbase, but it's just turning it over to them, once again..:puke:

May I offer you a delicious ice cream sundae??

8. That would explain a lot of things

Please keep us posted if you hear anything.

Thanks.
