E-Mails Expose MSNBC Host’s Involvement in #StopRush Boycott

The Other McCain ^ | June 22, 2012 | Stacy McCain

MSNBC host Krystal Ball was in close communication with leaders of an online boycott aimed at advertisers on Rush Limbaugh’s popular radio show, e-mails between the boycott leaders indicate.

...snip...

Ball, a Democrat who ran for Congress in Virginia two years ago, is a paid MSNBC contributor who was recently announced as one of four co-hosts of a new daily program, The Cycle, on the left-leaning cable news network. It is unclear whether MSNBC executives were aware of the extent of Ball’s involvement in #StopRush, which used the social network in a campaign to drive Limbaugh off the airwaves by threatening boycotts against advertisers on his conservative talk show, the nation’s most popular syndicated radio program.

Professor William Jacobson’s Legal Insurrection blog has described how the #StopRush effort was evidently coordinated with the tax-exempt non-profit Media Matters for America, apparently using so-called “sockpuppet” accounts in a fake-grassroots ”astroturf” campaign.

This might get VERY interesting... as McCain continues his updates.

“Krystal Ball”???

Really?

[CodeToad]

“apparently using so-called “sockpuppet” accounts in a fake-grassroots ”astroturf” campaign.”

Typical liberals: Censorship.

[PGR88]

They really have a newsreader named “Krystal Ball?”

Anyone at MSNBC named “Ima Ho” or “I.P. Daley?”

[Mr. K]

I wonder if Rush has a list of MSNBC’s sponsors he could present on his show... just for informational purposes

[Truth29]

"“Krystal Ball”???"

I wonder if she any publicirty stills and do they involve poles or wads of cash in G-strings?

[JimRed]

...on the left-leaning Marxist promoting cable news propaganda network.

Correction added.

[MuttTheHoople]

“Krystal Ball”???

sounds like a porn star.

[SumProVita]

Lol! Yep.... a far more accurate description!

;-)

I had to check...its her actual birth name, per wikipedia.

She is married...but chooses to keep her maiden name.

Also from wikipedia:

“Ball received national attention when photos taken six years earlier emerged showing her at a holiday party dressed as a “naughty Santa” sucking a red dildo attached to her then-husband’s nose”

Its some of the first images to come up on a Google search :)

A show about PMS?

[Buckeye McFrog]

“Krystal Ball”???

Another entry for my growing list of "Parents who need to be found and shot"...

[Pecos]

She probably leaked the e-mails in an attempt to get a salary increase from MSNBC.

[Bon mots]

Isn’t there an antitrust law against secondary boycotts?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ya, this news can only enhance her reputation, and her “qualifications”, to be a talking head on MSNBC.

For an MSNBC host to be involved in boycotting of Rush is a resume enhancer.

It would like someone on the conservative side reporting that someone goes to church on Sunday. It’s something that can only give her “street cred” among the liberal crowd, with no downside to being involved with this.

[Kevin in California]

Krystal Ball? Hmmm, let me guess.

Parents were hippies?

"Yes, Krystal Ball. You gotta problem with that, Honey?"
A fella girl's gotta pay the rent, and NBC's
the only place payin good money for hookers."

Sluts against Rush!
