Though I'm pissed as hell at MSNBC for KO, there is one aspect to think of...

[HardWorkingDem]

and that is this sort of gives MSNBC an opportunity to point out they do give a shit about "journalism" and quality journalism is important and this shows they are different than a channel like FauxNews.

Not only that, just the other day KO did a piece on the difference between "his" news and FauxNews.

Still, if they are going to do this shit, then they need to start hammering everyone of their employees because as someone pointed out, Joe Scarborough has been attending partisan events and really, isn't his position and what his appearance will bring in little different than that of a person donating to a candidate?

Now, at the least, KO should have disclosed what he did to his viewers and most likely his bosses.

1. MSNBC once had left wing folk, cancelend them, went right...

when right didn't work, cancelend them and moved back left.

Now that Republians have retaken the House...

Maybe I am wearing a tinfoil hat, but it looks to me like they are trying to readjust programming to find an audience.

2. When I watch Joe Scar, Andrea Mit, Contessa Brew, and the other

early morning woman, I don't think LEFT...I think Right.

Even when watching Matthews pretending to be Left, Ratigan pretending to be Independent,
I still see them as on the Right....cause they smear Democrats and let Republicans off the hook....and they have been part of the cabal predicting the Democrat's downfall in the 2010 election since the fall of 2009....cause that's what they ended up manipulating for all of those months.

They show 1 minute of an Obama speech, then talk over the rest. They are corporate,
and that ain't good.

3. They once hired Michael Savage.

This was back when they were trying to decide if they wanted to be worse than FOX.

I guess they changed their mind.

I like Rachel, but I won't watch MSNBC unless K.O. returns.

4. I agree, IF journalistic integrity is the real reason.

If it's personal or ideological disagreements with the higher-ups and a band-aid of an explanation, then we're watching Kabuki theater. We shall see as more facts come out. The Comcast connections are discouraging.
