Turmoil At NBC as Suits Want To Replace Chris Matthews With Air America Talker
Friends and Fiends at TV Networks | MB26

Posted on 07/17/2008 6:44:58 AM PDT by MindBender26

The remaining (few) conservatives at NBC are angry about The Suits plan to replace a show host, probably Chris Matthews, with radical far-left openly lesbian Air America host(ess) Rachel Maddow.

Maddow makes no secret of her beliefs, or her ability to use her time on the air to promote them.

Her political beliefs and very strong activism are focused on AIDS and prisoners' "rights." For example, she sees AIDS prevention and treatment as the job of government, not the "victims" who engage in known risky sexual acts in the first place.

She is openly gay, very butch and lives in NY and Massachusetts with her long time lover Susan Mikula, an artist.

Old newsies at network, not just the Conservatives, but many of the old school types see the possible removal of Matthews and replacing him with Maddow as the last step in the complete destruction of any reputation NBC/MSNBC still has as a fair journalistic operation.

To quote one of them; "She has zero journalistic experience. She has plenty of air time on radio and now face time on CNN and MSNBC, but the sole purpose of her getting on air was to get a paycheck and more importantly for her, to promote her very far-left liberal agenda."

The Suits say all the above is Ok, because there are so many Conservatives on the air, "We need a liberal voice."

You can't make this stuff up!

This is great. The more America gets a good look at these wackos the better it is for the whole country.

You know the Left’s takeover is complete when Chris Matthews is viewed as the conservative voice.

I honestly have no problem with liberals having their own shows, to the extent that there is a market to support them. To each his own.

The problem arises when someone like Maddow gets a show and the left applauds — but they object to Limbaugh (and enact legislation to shut him up).

I think it's a little late for that.

As someone who has spent their life drawing, painting writing music, I am always skeptical when the media uses the word “artist”, so I looked up Susan Mikula to see her work. Apparently an artist is someone who takes out of focus pictures of uninteresting items. Now I need to call my Aunt to inform her she is an artist...

Please send her in. Ratings will drop to zero within a year.

Why not just take the big step and put in the "A Team" that not only has the Far Left's message, but the looks as well.

My daughter and I got into my elevator at work yesterday with 2 women, one of whom was very “butch”. I avoided looking at them and my daughter Debbie was staring at the butch because frankly she wasn’t sure whether it was a man or woman. As the elevator door opened on their floor first, the butch says to my daughter “you’ve been staring at me for some time!”...Needless to say, my daughter didn’t respond, but we just were in shock that 1) they didn’t really fit in with the corporate business atmosphere and 2) was it a he or a she?

We told my husband later on at home about the “elevator incident” and he said we should have responded “Are you PAT?” (after the 90s SNL character!)

Tried to tune in to Morning Joe, on Moday, and found that I all I got was snow. Just found out that in order to get MSNBC I’ll have to upgrade my cable package and pay an extra $3.95 a month. Don’t think so. At least they left Fox alone.

I say let her co host with her wife as well. Let these scumbags get out in the open. Maybe she should have barack mcgovern on as her first guest.

Well at least it will help fox with the ratings. This woman much like at the bankrupt air america will drive down msnbc ratings in whatever time block she occupies, so let her have it. Mathews actually has 2 time blocks in the chicago area, 4 to 5 P.M. central, and then they replay mathews hardball show again from 6 to 7 P.M. central. I've always wondered why they didn't want to put another liberal nut on in one of these time slots to spread even more liberal trash. But I believe Madow will tank very quickly, she is a nut and already has had problems with Scarborough the turncoat over there. They probably want to use her like the pig Rosie O'Donnell without near the following!

I love red on red action. If this is the end of the road for Matthews I’m all for it. She (or he) will fail just like MSNBC has.

"[MSNBC wants to replace Chris Matthews with] far radical far-left openly lesbian Air America hostess Rachel Maddow. Maddow ... is openly gay, very butch and lives in NY and Massachusetts with her long time lover Susan Mikula, an artist. "

Maddow looks like a male (first picture set below) but when she appears on cable networks she usually dolls herself up a bit so she appears to be at least a tad feminine (second picture set below).

Another leftist trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

Set 1: butch to be sure:

set 2: if you didn't know otherwise you'd just think she was a normal woman with a short, easy-to-manage haircut from the below images when she's facing a mixed audience.

Fake "center" so middle America thinks that "she's OK" -- she even looks a little glamorous, is wearing feminine business suits and makeup:

The absolute only way this happens is: if Matthews really IS in line for Tim Russert’s job on Meet the Press or, (longshot) the rumors from a while back are true and Matthews plans to run for the senate. Outside of those two scenarios, no way Matthews is replaced by anybody.

Good. People will watch her out of curiosity for a while, but then get sick of looking at her and listening to her garbage.

The network will keep her long after the ratings drop, so as not to offend the most vicious, angry, venom-spitting and vengeful of all Victim Groups.
