Question for the conspiracy theorists |
|
He's wondering what happened the other night on Rachel Maddow's show when the gay soldier got cut off. He's wondering if the government did that.

1. could have been the govt., or perhaps |
|
perhaps somebody didn't like what he was hearing and happened to be near a switch, or cable and cut off his sound...
If that is the case, it's the work of a real asshole, fuck them in the eyesocket.
It also might have been an actual technical snafu...but damn....timing is mighty suspicious.
Did Rachel get him back on tonight? I just had to watch Bill Moyers.

4. MSNBC is part of the Military Industrial Complex |
|
While MSNBC may be slowly moving to the left to maintain business and ratings, it is more than likely that the Operators of the station itself would have intervened as to not annoy any sponsors. Ratings deal with one side of the business, and they use it to price air time for the advertisers.
However, if advertisers just boycott, they lose it all, and now they are financing a TV program for the viewers, which is not how it works.
The interactions between the Government and Corporations are blurred these days, but I doubt the Government would be the ones to perform the act of covert censorship. They have the Media Cabal to do that already.

I think that it was just technical difficulties. Now if the guy shows up dead then that would be a different story altogether. Come on - Rachel is gay too. Rachel can have the guy on LIVE in studio and it wouldn't be cut off. Rachel had technical difficulties tonight too when Michelle Obama's brother was supposed to be on air.
