The dorks at MSNBC

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 19, 2008 08:19 PM

I switched to MSNBC when Fox cut away from Fred’s pep talk in Columbia, SC. They all cackled after Thompson finished speaking.

I should have switched it off right there, but I decided to stay with the left-wing channel for Mitt Romney’s appearance.

The dorks at MSNBC grilled him over his hair, his unbuttoned collar, and his rolled-up sleeves.

Romney pointed out he was in Florida and it’s Saturday night and yes, so what, he hasn’t thrown away his three-piece suits. Big deal.

The dorks weren’t buying it.

After the interview, if you can call it that, ended, Brian Williams praised Chris Matthews for “being on to something.”

A mob of Sherlock Holmeses, aren’t they?

    So Williams gets excited about this as being “on to something”? What about issues? These idiots are just too pathetic. I never watch NBC or MSNBC. Apparently, I have made a good choice.

    Wow, your brave! I haven’t turned MSNBC on for years. I tired of Joe “Beaker” Scarborough claiming the mantle of, “real conservatism,” all the while attacking every republican in an attempt to boost his ratings in the either of the left Tucker moved times and that was all.

    We have blocked MSNBC in our living room and the only time I watched it in the bedroom was during the last debate. I doubt I will venture there again. They continue to lose market share and don’t appear to know why. I will be glad when they finally tank.

    They don’t even try to be impartial. They are so in the tank for the Democratic candidates and other liberal causes it’s not even defensible. Their reasoning is that Fox is partial to conservatives so they have to balance it out. But, to liberals facts don’t matter.

    Michelle, thank you for watching that channel. It sends my blood pressure into outer space, and I just cannot tune in. Do you have “staff”, a al Rush, who are tasked to watch the Clintonista News Network? If it weren’t for Dr. Bennett on CNN, or Glenn Beck on Headline, I would not even have memorized the channel numbers.

    PMSNBC, I think Rush calls it. It is just me, or are they making fewer and fewer efforts to even appear objective? They even headlined their broadcast the Nevada causes — no mention of the Republican South Carolina primary. Anyone want to guess what next Saturday’s Main Event will be? Why, of course, Hillary Clinton Coronation Part Deux.

    I stopped watched any kind of news on either NBC or MSNBC years ago because of their bias which was evident even back then.

    Now, I don’t watch them at all, not for any programming whatsoever, because I refuse to support them in any manner. Same goes for CBS, ABC, CNN, PBS and any local affiliates.

    Anyone actually watch MSNBC? Don’t they have something like 300,000 viewers?

    Yes they have 300,000 viewers. This includes staff, staff families, extended families, and then they count them twice to boost the numbers.

    You’re saying that MSNBC preempted another repeat prison-show with Williams, Matthews and Olbergong tonight?

    I do watch segment’s (channel flipping) of PMSNBC, Tucker, Chris Malignant and never Olbergong. The practice of Sun Tzu (The Art Of War) keep your friend’s close and your enemies even closer, I want to see what the other side’s opinion is as biased and wrong as it is, plus it’s pretty much comic relief. Malignant apoligised to Billary for his comment’s on Morning Joe, probably cause the Clinton’s threatened to put a hit out on him. Chris Malignant is nothing more than a egotistical growth on America’a hind end. I hardly ever see Brian William’s but when I do he’s alway’s towin the party line and for Olbergong he is proof of the Liberal hate factor and I have to turn the channel. I can’t even watch NFL Sunday Night I wonder if the NFL has noticed that the number’s fall way off when he’s there, people did’nt like him at ESPN and they don’t like him on PMSNBC what a tool. I understand why Michelle did’nt turn the channel, it’s like watching a train wreck.

    Oh Mr. Matthews was on to something all right!

    He was on to the truth when he said Hillary’s claim to fame and rise in the political arena was due to her husband’s infidelities - a statement the old “Hardball” couldn’t back away from quick enough when the pressure came down!

    I don’t know which is lamer: the fact Matthews so easily folded and backed off a statement he obviously believes is true, or the idea that a supposedly major cable news channel like MSNBC would allow itself to succumb to “pressure” from Steinem, Gandy, and Smeal - three irrelevant has-beens who couldn’t apply enough collective pressure to crack the hull of a peanut.

    Mr. Matthews, in displaying the same lack of conviction and commitment you so often accuse those on the right of showing, you have renounced the moral high-ground from which you judge the masses, along with your credibility!

    You know, that Olbermann guy has a lot of attitude for someone who use to shill chicken for Boston Market just a few years ago. It seems with that on his resume he’d show a little more humility.

    I only watch that channel for Pat Buchanan ….Chris Matthews never shuts up.. whenever he talks he removes all doubt that he is a complete idiot. I still remember his exchange with Michelle years ago when he wouldn’t let her get a word in edgewise. Amazing that such a clueless perosn has his own show,

    Let’s be honest, if an average of 500,000 Fox viewers didn’t keep flipping over to MSNBC during O’Reilly commercial breaks to snicker at Olbergong’s sanctimony, Keith wouldn’t have any viewers to begin with.

    And call me shallow, but I can’t even get past the mismatch of Olbergong’s rather rotund face and those swiss-precision lesbian frames that he wears.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
