MSNBC About to 'Blow Up'?
AOL News ^ | August 28th 2008 | Jay Allbritton

Posted on 08/29/2008 9:10:02 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

The implosion of MSNBC's DNC coverage is ironic since the narrative being sold by the media going into the convention was whether the Democrats could achieve party unity. Since the Clintons resoundingly stifled that storyline, the question now is, will Olbermann, Matthews and Scarborough unite to save MSNBC?

Jon Stewart called the infighting, "Lord of the Flies on the NBC roof!" If you've been enjoying the convention on C-SPAN or one of the other networks, this clip from The Daily Show will get you up to speed. Kudos to them, satirizing the surreal is a difficult task.

The MSM is all stressed out about the house of card’s they’ve built over the past year. Even the MSM cannot hide the fact that their candidate is in way over his simpleminded little head.

There is like zero accountability going on with NBC now.

Check out the current bold headlines at msnbc.com this hour:

“Roe v. Wade makes campaign comeback” with Sarah’s face next to the headlines.

Beyond that.. when Sarah was introduced by McCain today MSNBC news showed a breaking news alert caption below her, which said “how many houses does this add to the McCain ticket?”

From the article:

“You don’t want to run into Chris Matthews anytime soon, especially en route to the bathroom,...”

We can only hope.

Or as my namesake once said, "Don't try to make friends with me."

"Lord of the Flies on the NBC roof!"

Flies, NBC, sh-t. All makes sense to me.

Gee and to think until this post I missed the whole Obamaman/Chrissy spat!

Will Obamaman stop at nothing in his quest to become the new minister of propaganda in the Obama dictatorship? Guess not.

If it blows up I hope FOX doesn’t hire any of those losers.

I was watching Bill O. tonight and he was pretty pissed about an MSNBC footer while showing Palin’s speech under “Breaking News” that read “How many houses does Palin add to McCain’s total?”

Pretty amazing and not a good amazing.

It’s good they added Rachel Maddow. At least now there’s someone on the MSNBC lineup who can satisfy a woman.

That blowhard Bill O’Reilly asked Brit Hume tonight if this were this horrible at NBC when he (Hume) was there, and Brit hemmed a bit and then said “well, let me just say I was very glad to have had the opportunity to move to Fox.”
