OMG, why is Reichwing Joe Scarborough moderating a DEM 'spin room'...
post analysis?
Why does MSNBC *always* trot out the Reichwingers, whenever the Democrats have an event/forum/debate?!?

More news here.

1. My Thoughts and feelings
The Rights on MSNBC like Tucker and Joe maybe leaning right but I can continue to listen because even though they have their beliefs they are fair. Unlike the right wingers on Fox. I actually think that MSNBC as cultivated a pretty balanced line up and are still working on it. They are not obnoxious to the point of my turning the channel. Tucker is not my favorite but it is always a good idea to listen to the opposing point of view to understand them similar to diplomacy. I can watch him and disagree but can refrain from turning the channel or as in Faux throwing something at the TV.

2. Can't MSNBC find 2 Dems to discuss the Dem debate? It's midnight EDT, ...
and the hosts are of MSNBC's ongoing coverage are Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan.
:eyes:

I know Olbermann was on earlier - but, isn't there another Democrat (or liberal) to be found?
You can be sure that MSNBC will have a fleet of Repukes to analyze the Repugnant debate(s).

8. Agree with both the above posts...
MSNBC has seemed pretty fair lately to me, although I don't watch TV much at all. But I also agree, they should have had like CM/JS or KO/PB as the hosts. JS/PB is just a touch UN-fairly tilted to the Right (PB being in my book the by-far-more-egregious of the two - as I noted in another post, JS at the very least isn't a veritable kool-aid fountain of RW talking points like bow-tie boy, and seems astute enough to refuse to go down with the GOP's rapidly sinking ship of tools...fwiw...)

4. It's unbelievable! Can you imagine the outcry if two Dems or liberals...
hosted a one-hour show to discuss the GOPedophiles' debate?!?

5. Total double standard
I think we should raise a stink about it. It seems that not even that many on DU have noticed this, or care. Well, maybe they're already in bed...

6. Right, I think this is *huge.* This is how & why the Reichwing pushes...
certain Democratic candidates to the top, long before the primaries.

7. Also, they are airing footage/soundbites that show certain candidates...
in their weaker moments (although they all did well) in the debate.
Now, when the GOPedophiles have *their* debate, this same Reichwing crew will be heaping on the praise.
Hence, the end result: inspiring people to think that the GOP is the 'better choice.'
