Full Version: Lying about Obama on MSNBC

Joe Scarborough is hosting the most slanted version of race for the White House ever. He is currently talking about Obama's Iraq policy. Saying he flip-flopped. He JUST said in the interview that he was still committed to getting out in 16 months! These people are such liars! Saying he has changed his position. As Rachel Maddow said, he had the same nuanced position as early as March.

I think they are doing it becuase the election is not close and they want to keep their ratings up.

If he is lying about Obama's position (something we dont have to do about McCain, his flip flopping and ignorance is legendary) then someone needs to counter it and quickly and most importantly point out not Obama's true position as much as the fact that Scarborough is a prick.

Like I said, RM tried but she isn't a very strong speaker for this particular format. Randi would be a much better steward of our worldview to be on the show.

OF COURSE they're going to lie. Since 200, the MSM has NEVER given us even a drop of truth.

Whenever it was convenient and they let Kieth do one of his canned rants.

The first time, it was novel...

Kieth also covered the election fraud when nobody else did, so there's that.

He is such a sexist bastard. He and Rachel have been going at it tooth and nail. He has some weird tension thing with Rachel. They have gone at it before and he stormed off the set. I am not sure why he has his own show! As much as Mika irritates me, "Morning Joe" has been much less tense and condescending with him gone! He is a complete jerk, and I am not sure what MSNBC finds ratings worthy about him. He is really pathetic, and there is something very wrong about him. He obviously hates women...he treats them like dumb twits, no matter what party they are from! Maybe his wee-wee is really small...that's why his mouth has to be so big!

Joe really wanted Hillary to win too cool.gif

Yes! That segment was sooooo freakin odd. Joe was sarcastic, sexist, condescending (sp?), and just nasty. I almost had to check to see if somehow I had changed the TV to Fox (Faux) News. Did anybody hear that list insult he shot at RM about "cackling"?? I wish RM would have been more assertive and forceful in dealing with that block head!!

Peace angry.gif

I guess if Rachel asked him if the dead staffer they found in his congressional office was "cackling" before she turned up dead, she would be wrong....sorry, but I am just so tired of these hypocritical repthuglicans that I can't stand it. Funny how crap happened to him, he leaves congress and gets his own show, isn't it? He is one creepy dude. Seriously. And he seems totally threatened by Rachel. Don't get me wrong, I have had my issues with her too, but tonight...she was right, factual and on the money!

So what has happened to MSNBC tonight? The last show was Scarborough as far as I know, now they are showing a bunch of documentaries - anyone know what is going on?

Joe is a Repub operative disguised as a talk show host.

I've see the way he treats Mika on Morning Joe. He is an ass.

Fool me once. I really thought MSNBC was going to make a difference in the MSM by doing quality programs to target smart people, I wasn't expecting them to be spoke people for my liberal points of views but at least just do smart analysis, engaged people in the process and display a realistic picture of the political spectrum. I thought that they were giving Obama a real coverage but now I think that they were more "anti- Clinton" than "pro Obama" Now that HRC is out of the picture MSNBC has geared up and felt in line with the rest of the news networks against Obama.

come on. here is going towards the center, I dont like the double talk from either canidate, but this is going to win obama the election. This election can not be won by somebody far to the right or left. Obama is smart and is doing what he needs to win this thing.

They dipped their toes in being a pro-democrat fox news. They never impressed me with smart or cutting edge reporting except when Kieth covered the 2004 fruad. By the time the fifth "special comment" rolled out, this has already been mechanized and corprate approved.
