"The right dictates MSNBC's programming decisions...."

Now that we have a "Joan of Arc" to rally 'round, we intend on taking back our country - and it starts with demoting those two PMSNBC chimps.

I think he is more pernicous than Olberman because so many people still give him the benefit of the doubt.

He'll soon correct that, I'm sure.

If we have that much power, let’s get his goofball face off Sunday Night Football while we’re at it.

Tell me about it. I didn't relize my husband was watching football yesterday until I walked into the room and saw the TV on. I asked him if something was wrong with the TV because there was no sound. He said the only thing wrong was Olberman and he turned the sound off because he couldn't stand listening to the idiot.

-- So all of a sudden the Right commands the MSM. --

The left has been making this claim for some time. Some media outlets more so than other (FoxNews at the top of the list, but they complain about ALL of the outlets as having a rightwing bias, occasionally even MSNBC!)

Direction of media bias aside, one opinion the left and I have in common is that the media sucks pond water.

The report is MSNBC finished dead last in the ratings during the two weeks of conventions. How are the ratings numbers the fault of the “right”. Sheesh.

If that were true, both Gregory and Greenwald would be digging fence-post holes for me instead of demonstrating how ignorante they are.

Salon.com, the online magazine of choice for metro sexual and homosexual family hating, Dagon worhipping, pseudo intellectuals who need to vent after jumping rehab with Bob Beckel and sharing cab fare to latest "stand with Al Qaeda Rally".

No, now you don't have to mince words. Tell us what you really think!

It is our fault because we decided to tune in to a different channel!

I hope their ratings are a result of the right. No self respecting member of the VRWC should be caught dead watching MSNBC.

Am I understanding this?

The LEFT is saying that because Tiny and Chrissy were removed for their obvious left-wing bias it is because of RIGHT WING bias?

So who was it that dictated FNC's programming decisions to not air any Democrat Primary Debates?

Wrong, if we dictated it, most of their shills would be replaced with real journalists.
