SDS Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 While Gov. Palin was giving her speech today, MSNBC ran a line under her picture under the "BREAKING NEWS" banner: "How many houses will Palin add to the McCain/Palin ticket?" Say what you want about Fox, if this isn't as bush league as it gets - I don't know what is. Cheap shots under a "BREAKING NEWS" headline? That wouldn't be acceptable on a party run station let alone a news station associated with NBC and the late Mr. Russert.

SDS Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 That's classless. It goes WAAAAAAAY beyond that. I mean way beyond that. These are news stations and while you can question the quality of their coverage or their point of view of the coverage - you aren't really supposed to have to decide what is "breaking news" and what is a partisan kick in the crotch. It is as unprofessional an act that I have ever heard a news station commit.

Several times they misidentified anti-war Republicans as Democrats.

Several times they misidentified anti-war Republicans as Democrats. I highly doubt, that under a banner titled "Breaking News" that Fox News did anything of the sort. If you don't appreciate the difference, then there really is no reason to continue the discussion.
/dev/null Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 With the exception of Chris Matthews, I think everyone at MSNBC should be fired
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 2 Is that the answer? What do I win? It is classless... Heck, from a class warefare angle... Funny as hell. I would love to see a class struggle in this country... It would scare the sh*t out of a lot of people!

Like the rest of us who were caught in the crossfire

I would love to see a class struggle in this country... It would scare the sh*t out of a lot of people! How are you defining "class struggle"? Back to SDS's q, I doubt anyone gets fired over it as no one at MSNBC seems to understand why they are the last place channel. It probably has something to do w/ little things like that or Olbermann stating the day Hillary addressed the convention that Hillary would support Obama because of some joke McCain supposedly made about Chelsea when Chelsea was a teen. Funny, I thought she'd support him because they are BOTH democrats.

If you don't appreciate the difference, then there really is no reason to continue the discussion. I do appreciate the difference but I feel it's outweighed by all of the accumulative crap Fux Knus has done. I already said it was classless. I'm sure if I looked into it Fux Knus has done the same thing with something at one time or another.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 How are you defining "class struggle"?

The more people make less and see the separation between rich a poor... It is just a matter of time before what happened in the 1930's takes place again. You can see it now in places like Chicago... The ecomomy goes down, the violence starts to go up. People become restless and resentful. A guy like McCain, with 7 houses would have been surely targeted back in a bygone era.

So you would like to see the economy go down, so that class warfare begins / escalates? I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean, but it's late and I'm tired and that's what I am taking from your message.

You mine as well get more bang for your buck!
/dev/null Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 No. But if the economy is going to be tanked by a dounchebag out there... You mine as well get more bang for your buck! Or at least one that's a MILF
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Or at least one that's a MILF Hey... I got my very own! Well, that is what she tells me!

BillsNYC Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 O'RLY lost it a long time ago Maybe, but he's right. This wasn't during Olberman, this was during the actual breaking news.
