Sorry to single you out, this is for

the few on this board capable of judgment based on experience and facts.

I urge you to watch MSNBC'S Lawrence O;Donnel' show "The Last Word" and
"The Rachel Maddow Show," which follows.

In my opinion, she and her staff are the best investigative reporters around now
like Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward were during the nixon era.

You're opinion is based on these fidgets telling YOU what you WANT to hear.Lawrence O'Donnell and Richard Maddow(it don't look like no Rachel to me) wouldn't make a wart on Woodward and Bernstiens azz.

Rick. i ask you to reflect upon yourself for using the word judgements, when clearly you should have used the word opinions. Is this a trait?

It is dangerous to mistake "political commentary entertainers" for "investigative reporters".


We globalists have successfully dumbed down America. Scoreboard!

#6 and #7...good posts.

Remove the Critical Thinking from a daily regimen and surrender that to others that you believe have your best interests???

Yeah...the Sophists had it right waaaaay back when.

Nothing new under the sun, but when you're a slave to the boob tube or rip the knobs off and watch only one you've narrowed down the deciphering that the "reporters" are doing.

Let's face it...the talking heads only read a teleprompter...Just like Ron Burgundy...they'll read it all...everything that's there. Remove them from their make-up and fancy suits and they're a stuttering dolt with an axe to grind.

It doesn't surprise me that Rick feels this way in one iota. He's surrendered a long time ago. If you can't join the chorus then at least sing really really loud to make sure you're heard, right? Maybe make a convert along the way. Perhaps even get a few to stop actually correcting poor behavior. Eventually the herd thins itself out. The Cliff Theory.

It's a shame.

The dumbing down that was accurately foretold in "Idiocracy" is here. Right in front of our eyes. People now watch Dancing With The Stars and then the PMSNBC to watch their filtered news. There was a thread about where people got their news about a week, maybe 2 weeks ago. Insightful. When I had DirecTV I would watch BBC news. I found it enjoyable that they would devote 15-20 minutes to a story instead of the snippet 1-3 minutes and then the obligatory "...and Chuck back to you for today's Sports...".

As we spiral downwards the exit signs become blurred. You can get off the "road" if you want. It takes Action not words. It means YOU have to DO something. As the toilet bowl spirals to finish the flush sequence I only hope that the real turds get flushed down the drain.

I do not criticize people for becoming enthralled by their political commentary entertainer choice. The world needs tools, too! Meanwhile, trust "us" to take care of everything.

He used to call everyone bitches, but Ryan Seacrest would always think he was calling him by name.

Here's how Americans are choosing to be entertained:

25,000,000 watched American Idol Wednesday night
20,000,000 watched Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday night
3,300,000 watched Fox News (O'Reilly's numbers; Beck and Hannity have about 2 million each)
880,000 watched MSNBC (Maddow's numbers; Matthews and O'Donnell are a bit lower)

You call this a Judgement and you are a Lawyer ?
Opinions are how you feel about something based on the information you are given and how your mind processes that information.
Judgements are taking your opinions and imposing them on someone or thing.

The only problem there, Rick, is that your opinion sucks.

Bill Maher Tells Rachel Maddow He Hates Republicans as Much as She Does
By Noel Sheppard | April 13, 2011 | 00:59


Bill Maher Tuesday made a statement on MSNBC that would be truly embarrassing for the so-called news network if any of its executives cared at all about being an impartial disseminator of information.

At the end of an almost thirteen minute interview with Rachel Maddow, the comedian said of Republicans, "I hate them as much as you do" (video follows with commentary):


As readers would expect, what preceded Maher's final assertion was his typical Republican bashing of his usual targets such as Ronald Reagan as well as the newest object of his disaffection, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.).

This was all the predictable, GOP-hating fare that one is bludgeoned with when HBO's "Real Time" is in session. The only things out of the ordinary were the venue and the response from the host.

If Maddow wanted to preserve even the slightest appearance of impartiality and journalistic integrity, instead of laughing like a hyena when Maher said he hates Republicans as much as she does, she would have countered by stating that she just disagrees with conservative viewpoints, but doesn't hold any animosity towards those on the opposite side of the aisle.

If she had even a shred of journalistic sense in her body, Maddow would have made it clear to her audience that she doesn't hate Republicans at all.

Since she didn't, one has to conclude that Maher's right, and not only does Maddow despise a large percentage of the nation, she's also comfortable allowing it to be aired on the very "news network" she's employed by.
Quite a statement, don't you think?

Makes you wonder what kind of a business model exists at this network where it is acceptable for its employees to disparage such a large percentage of the possible audience. As it is the goal of any company to expand its market share, it's considered bad for business to insult and demean potential customers, especially such a large swath of them.

Does MSNBC not care about this? Ditto NBC, GE and Comcast? What kind of an environment exists in this organization where its employees are given license to antagonize such a large portion of possible patrons?

Of possibly utmost importance, how can she be allowed to participate in any primary or election coverage in the future if she's not willing to counter an on-air claim that she hates Repubicans?

It would be from this point forward categorically absurd for MSNBC to allow her to be involved in any events where her antipathy toward the GOP could cloud her commentary. This of course assumes the network she represents actually cares about such a thing, which at this point seems highly doubtful.

As much as it pains me to say, congratulations are in order to Maher as he unknowingly and quite likely unintentionally exposed just how biased Maddow and the station she represents are.
