Following a harsh exchange between MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas on Twitter in May, Moulitsas writes today that he has been banned (for now) from appearing on the network.
He publishes an email from MSNBC President Phil Griffin explaining the reasoning (a “cheap shot”), but Moulitsas concludes he has “been booted from the network because of a Scarborough temper tantrum.”
Moulitsas writes today on Daily Kos about the circumstances in a post “Why I am blacklisted by MSNBC“. “In case you were wondering why you haven’t seen me on MSNBC recently, it seems that Joe Scarborough, he of the lowest rated morning show in cableland, has blackballed me,” he writes. “And Phil Griffin, the alleged president of MSNBC, is going along with it.”

BTTT
What did he say?
Interesting.
The Daily Klown has his panties in a wad because he is banned from a show that no one watches?
Hooookay....
Must be a really slow news day.......
Given the sheer amount of blatant “cheapshots” idiotScarborough has dished in his time there, I find this hilariously ironic.......but then again, wussies always seek double standards that would easily fall under the banner of hypocrisy. =.=
It’s nice to know that even in the bad, dangerous adult world, there is still a sandbox called MSNBC where childlike adults can play.
Wow; I guess Markos could sound less mature if he really tried. Or maybe not. ;)
So..... does this mean MSNBC’s ratings will go up?
Why are progressives as thin skinned and pouty as a Jr. High cheerleading squad?
I think Hannity is a dolt, too, only one of a slightly higher order.
Say, dueling pistols hand grenades at ten paces :)
Back when Gary Condit was in the news (Chadra Levy murder), Joe Scarborough was considered a pal of Condit’s, and it was hinted by some that because of that Joe might be connected to the murder in some way. Kos referred to that suspicion in a post on his Twitter account.
Actually, Joe had his very own dead intern.
If “Joe Scarborough, he of the lowest rated morning show in cableland, has blackballed me,” IS indeed the lowest, why should Kos even care.
I love it when they starting their own. Heheheh.
I guess he was just ‘being himself’.
Post 15, meet post 16. And vice versa.
Kind of scary to think so. The guy who runs the whole shooting match over there at KOS comes across sounding like he’s in his teens. Maybe immaturity is ‘in’ on the Left?
drama queens
WMAL in DC took Chris Plante (who I really like) off the air at one point and put Joe Scarborough in his slot. I couldn’t stand him- I changed my lunch break time because of it.
It amazed me to read people on the net writing that they though of Scarborough as a Conservative.
Thankfully- WMAL realized the error of their ways and brought Plante back.
If they were truly gentlemen, they would have a duel.
The premise being false, the conclusion is obvious.
It's inextricably woven into the very fabric of Leftist thinking.
MSNBC’s only viewers are the Koz kids aren’t they?
OK. For BONUS POINTS:
Which industry, MEDIA or POLITICS, has had the most dead or sexually involved interns?
i have wondered why political commentary shows such as ABC’s This Week or all those cable shows would invite such uneducated liberal nutjobs like Kos or Arianna Huffington onto their panels. I mean, really, come on...who exactly are Kos and Arianna, and why the heck should ANYONE care what they think? What meaningful political experience do either one of them have that would make their opinions valuable? They run a blog. REALLY? REALLY???
A few weeks ago, the both of them were on This Week, taking the liberal wacko view against Liz Cheney and George Will. Needless to say, Liz and George could have taken sleeping pills and still had more brain power than those buffoons Arinna and Kos. They had absolutely nothing meaningful to say, and sounded like dolts. But they are liberals, so that is being redundant. Why do people keep inviting Arianna anyway? she is not even American, she is nuts, she is a total idiot, she tried to run for Governor of CA once and totally failed in a corrupt campaign.
What say you, liberal networks? How can you claim any credibility when you keep inviting such idiot lightweights to spew your liberal messages?
With real movie theatre butter.
Would that be Joe “dead girl in my office” Scarborough?
You know, that is so true. I just had a spirited exchange with a leftist who sent me two MediaMatters links to ‘prove’ that conservatives are racists. And this leftist admitted, when she sent the links, that some quotes were taken out of context. Now what mature person would consider that a valid much less persuasive argument?
Never fear. I pulled out all the stops [in my rebuttal] and gave a lot better than I got. ;)

 Where Are The Donors? Where Are The Loyal FReepers? FR Needs Donations! Now! |
The same one....
Comments like that will get him back on the show in no time.
Useful idiots = politically immature.
All 5 viewers must be really upset
That has got to be bad! Ha Ha!
Shooting or Shouting, either one will work. I have a feeling most of his 'posters' are in their teens, physically, or mentally.
Isn't KOS a blog and not a discussion forum?
That's what I like about FR. Jim Robinson doesn't decide WHAT everyone else should discuss. We do.
Maybe immaturity is ‘in’ on the Left?
I heard that once you grow up and mature, you turn to the Right.
What was that saying.....
"With age comes wisdom. But not always, and not for everyone."
We need more cats on the job.
Being banned from MSNBC is equivalent to being banned from eating rubarb.
Well that was the gist of one of Churchill’s famous quotes, wasn’t it? It’s not so bad to start out liberal, but if by a certain age you haven’t outgrown it, you have problems.
He accused Joe of killing the pretty intern that was found dead in his campaign office on a Saturday morning.
How can you cheap shot Joe? I mean-really!
You can’t blackball me! I’m big, rich important member of the American left!
/sarc
Kicked off MSNBC for being too obnoxious. Wow.....
