I thought the DNC was this week?

Turned on MSNBC (you know, the "liberal version of Fox News&quot , and the Vast majority of guests are the GOP shills who were on last week talking about the RNC.

WTF? Shouldn't it be all Democratic guests, heaping high praise on their party, the way they did it for the GOP? One would think, huh. Nope, just GOP usuals telling us what is wrong with Democrats.

Conversely, Soledad was pretty good on CNN this morning, with mixed panel of guests, and she pushed back pretty hard when they'd try to simply read their party script. I might tune back in to MSNBS to check out Tweety's take on things, but if today is any indication, I expect their DNC coverage is going to be wholly unwatchable this week.

So little time to transition between conventions. Just makes it so much more obvious how they play their game.

Before he was "retired" by MSNBC you'd see his forehead wrinkling up and his hands chopping the air on almost every show during convention time.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for "balanced coverage" friend.

You do realize who owns the crap you are consuming, right?
