How David Shuster Lied to Get Me to Appear on MSNBC

Today is the day that I have been invited to go on MSNBC for the very first time. At no point during the ACORN story was I put on the hot seat to defend the work of James O’Keefe. My thesis from day one has been that the mainstream media is biased in favor of the left and MSNBC is its most obvious case study.

So when MSNBC led the charge on Tuesday against James O’Keefe when he and three others were arrested in New Orleans at Senator Landrieu’s office, it came as no surprise that the cable network seized upon a narrative that presumed O’Keefe’s guilt, falsely extrapolated that he was being charged with felony wiretapping and instantaneously coined and repeated endlessly the new buzz phase, “Watergate Jr.”

Updates on O’keefe.

And do you think that Maryland should prosecute Okeefe and Giles for the “Illegal” filming of ACORN? DO you think that Holder should go after Okeefe and Breitbart on RICO charges, as some leftist pundits and federal prosecutors would like to do? (Extortion and blackmail)...

[Nachum]

Feel sorry for Okeefe. He has a big target on his back.

Updates on O’keefe.

I’m referring to the criminal politicians when I say criminal cockroaches (no offense intended to any cockroach-americans by the comparison to politicians).

Someone’s got to expose these criminals because the lame media no longer cares to do anything except enable and coverup for the political criminals.

wow, that Schuster is really a twerp.

I didn’t realize that Comcast has gone thru with the NBC deal..

...and you know what?? We have a LITTLE more power over MSNBC now since we have to PAY so much for cable access...

I propose that we all demand that comcast REMOVE all access to MSNBC from our cable boxes...not just “We block it” from our homes, but that they REMOVE it from our transmissions.

Thanks for the ping. Been up since 3:30AM to be at work by 5AM so my mind is ready for sleep at this point, so I will not attempt to analyze and respond on this one.

:)

you never have to answer me, unless I am DEMANDING ANSWERS!!!!! :0

[Marine_Uncle]

Have a great upcoming day. With that I am signing off.

[Nachum]

He obviously is trying to make a name by being "The" twerp.

MS- DNC is just one step away from professional wrestling.

I thought it was obvious that’s how you meant your comment

well it was to me anyway

some folks are a bit “quick on the draw” around here

"MS- DNC is just one step away from professional wrestling."

oh, please, don't you think that's a bit of a stretch?

(1) professional wrestling has much higher standards than PMSNBC

(2) professional wrestling is far more entertaining than PMSNBC (well I don't watch either, but there's no question which has many more fans and more 'intelligent' fans)

(3) professional wrestlers are more honest than anyone on PMSNBC (or at least not as consistently dishonest)

(4) professional wrestlers are more patriotic than *almost* anyone on PMSNBC (since I wouldn't watch the bozos I hestitate to assume that ALL on PMSNBC are traitors..... maybe just Olberdork, Madcow, Shuster, a couple of others?)

there, now don't you think you owe an apology to professional wrestling?? they are many cuts above PMSNBC!!

[Nachum]

OK... not professinal wrestling.

How about- American Idol rejects?

Yeah. How about that.

[Junior_G]

Whatever ends they imagined DO NOT justify the means.

You make it sound like they were beating people up or something. These nefarious "means" you speak of...sounds like there isn't much there.

LOL. I’m finding it hard to think of any comparisons that don’t leave Shuster & co. at a severe disadvantage

[stormer]

What if the perps were from PETA or ACORN and the office was Michelle Bachman's or Jim DeMint's? What would your view be? I don't distinguish criminals based on their political affiliation.
