Crickets from MSNBC

You know what really grinds my gears?
Two days ago, Joe Scarborough said some of the most vile, disgusting, racist and quite frankly, inhuman remarks that have ever crossed an MSNBC anchors lips. And this is the network that employed Don Imus and Pat Buchanan for years. It was honestly the most racist rant I have heard in a long time. Coming from the station that is supposed to "Lean Forward" their deafening silence, to me, means that they have absolutely no plans of reprimanding Joe Scarborough for his insensitive and asinine comments.
Its time to ask the question -- what the fuck is MSNBC supposed to be anyway? Their ratings have fallen to their lowest levels in a decade in October, and it is because MSNBC has absolutely lost its way as a center left news outlet, and has completely dropped the ball with their confusing bipartisany bullshit.
But the last straw is letting these vile and racist remarks stand. I cannot watch a news channel that would give such a racist man a microphone and allow him to spew shallow bullshit, then turn around and pretend to be a wonkish center left news outlet with a "Lean Forward" tag line. You know what, Phil Griffin and MSNBC, that slogan rings just as hollow as "Fair and Balanced".
i first noticed a change after the NBC Comcast merger big business tends to support the ri8ght wing propaganda machine, now if my TV goes off my phone won't ring or you don'thear from me Comcast didn't appreciate my blog. most of the more popular host have started leaning back and forth one day Progressive the next the ugly other side they are like the illegitimate cousins of Fox and Friends.  i used to watch all day bu now a select few, with their numbers dropping they are not attracting the Fox audience if that was the plan their grade a big g00se egg.
