I'm contacting MSNBC to ask them to take Halperin off the air - anyone want to join me?

1. Did that earlier! GO!

I think everyone needs to have calls. I call all the real "dicks" all the time along with the media.

2. E-mailed the show an hour ago...n/t

3. Who?

I'm glad I'm not obsessed with television.

5. Halperin is co-author of "Game Change" and a managing editor of "Time" magazine.

9. I think the last time I picked up a copy of Time was about 1973

Thanks for the information.

10. Was Henry Luce still the publisher of Time in 1973?

That would have been in the middle of Watergate.

11. Yes, I believe he was.

It used to be a decent source of news and analysis. I can remember editions of it being more than 100 pages long (a lot of ads of course, but still...). It had excellent coverage of science and technology back in the 1960s, which is why I started reading it.

15. You're a very intelligent person.

6. Contacted them an hour ago. Thanks for posting the link again

I asked that the entire "Morning Joe" crew be taken off the air :-).

8. Already did... and emailed Time Magazine as well...

Halperin has always been a smarmy little RW-ass kisser, but this goes beyond the pale.

12. I already e-mailed MSNBC.

This is my e-mail to them:

Is MSNBC going to have a double standard??? Should Halperin be allowed to remain on air after saying something so derogatory of the President? He knew what he said and that's why he asked about the 7 second delay. His apology sure didn't cut it and he can't unring that bell. Watching MJ is as bad as watching Fox News and I just can't do it anymore. From now on I will watch my recorded Countdown with Keith from the previous night. There are many viewers totally disgusted with this. It's time for Halperin to be kicked off the payroll of MSNBC.


Now I wish I had asked for the whole program to be canceled.

13. Why? So he can get a job at Fox or CNN?

Trying to get the media to become fair is a waste of time. They're nothing but a branch of the GOP.

14. Phoned.
