...the network was “in the tank for Hillary Clinton.”

Breaking news?

LOL, I forgot to add the translation for Leftists...their favorite word to denigrate conservatives is “Buffoon”.

For some reason, they apply that to conservatives preferentially, with no stratification!

The takeway wasn’t supposed to be that either camp was good, but that Schultz was being heavily dictated to as to what content he could feature on what was, supposedly, HIS SHOW.

The taste I get is that, whereas Schultz preferred a candidate I don’t like, he’s at least trying to be an old-school “straight news” guy, and MSNBC is decidedly NOT an organization that permits that; they micromanage content such that it isn’t a hospitable place where “straight news” thrives.

Now, you may say, “Well, DUH! We’ve known that for years,” but it isn’t ever harmful to have that “knowing” periodically reaffirmed by current or former insiders. The leopard hasn’t changed its spots, and I’m thankful to Schulz for his candor.

Bernie for many was just an “anybody but Hillary” option. And he still beat her and forced her to cheat him out of the nomination to become the Democratic candidate.

The First Amendment doesn’t give you the right to use your employer’s facility to promote something your employer doesn’t like. You have a First Amendment right to say or print whatever you wanna - on your own dime.

The First Amendment doesn’t give you the “right to know” - it gives us only the right to figure out as best we can.

A “right to know” would imply only a “right” to be indoctrinated.

Thanks Kaslin. The enemy of your enemy is still your enemy, but when your enemies fight, it often makes sense to root for one over the other.

[I love it when they eat their own.]

Yes.

All of the Bernie supporters (though Bernie was crazy like anything) should not be very happy that the DNC rigged it for Hillary. Further, they should be really mad at Bernie for selling-out to Hillary.

Bernie is crazy; Hillary is evil.

[ Anyone under 25 who supported Bernie is an idiot too. ]

Correct.

Lost a friend telling him anyone who supported Hillary is an idiot. But Hillary hides her evilness in her craftiness and the Clinton operatives.

Bernie’s proposals were as nuts as could be but resonated with itching ears.

What’s more alarming is the high ratings MSNBC gets. I meant he entire network is a joke.

I think it more likely that MSNBC fires him because he is as crazy as a rat in a tin sh!thouse during a hail storm.

I figured that was the reason he was fired. Who shoots their own dog?

They probably fired him because:

1. They already had enough nuts on their shows to fill an oak tree.
2. He was too crazy and volatile even for them. One Larry O’Donnell is enough for any planet.
3. Bernie wasn’t red enough for them so a Bernie supporter was just a Marxist-Lite.
4. Nobody liked him. He had the personality of a sewer rat, just like Lawrence O’Donnell. The Plague, Boss, the Plague!
