To all those at DU please e mail MSNBC below to get Russert Jr.off the air.

[busterbrown]

He’s like a guy who never played a fucking down in football telling people how to play the game. He really stunk up the screen tonight after Obamas press conference. Promising his audience that certain things are going to happen down line with the debt cliff. He doesn’t know shit and certainly shouldn’t be promising his audience anything. Smiling Punk....

1. I just wrote them.

THAT felt good! Thanks for the link!

[mark eagledove]

2. Just commented on that hack....

here is what I said

When I see Luke Russert, I always immediately change the channel.
He has no talent or depth. A complete fraud.

[Hekate]

3. He's young, callow, and inexperienced

Needs to work in the company mailroom for awhile longer. He has not managed to grow into this job sufficiently.

[rsmith6621]

4. Here is mine...

Please remove Luke Russert. He has no talent and would not be working at MSNBC had it not been for his Dad Tim.

We dont need entitled twits inflating disinformation.

Get him off MSNBC.

Thank you

[Cha]

5. The US mediawhore corp is full of

Incompetence of the worst order and Luke is one the most glaring.

[budkin]

6. He's just awful. Just awful.

[jillan]

7. never mind :)

[oldhippydude]

8. he can works at fox

like Chris Wallace

[HawkeyeLibkid]

9. I don't have a problem with Luke

I think you are totally missing the message he is portraying, stop acting like you certainly know better.

[woolldog]

10. um, ok Luke--

I mean "Hawkeye"--whatever you say

[busterbrown]

12. And that message is??????

I mean the one you are telling us he is portraying. So, be my guest....

[HawkeyeLibkid]

21. You sure are a message board mogul

Simply put, not everyone understands how everything works in Politics, unlike yourself it seems. I'm wondering why you're not beating the door down to replace him yourself? Oh noooo we don't like him whaaaaa whaaaaa he doesn't spew our rhetoric whaaaaa. Granted, I don't affix myself to the television like a hawk with nothing better to do, so I have only watched him report 15-20 times. Carry on, you have more complaining to do on your other posts.

[busterbrown]

23. We have a Luke Russert apologists in our midst!!! Maybe you need to watch him a few more

times.....Brother!!!!!

[chillfactor]

29. I happen to like Luke...and I have watched him several times...

and are not other DUers allowed to defend someone? You have your opinion....as others have theirs

I am sure other DUers would defend Luke as well...but not so they can be put down so you can dump of them...you remind me of the right-wing nuts that post on HP....

[busterbrown]

36. Do you like Luke because he seems like a nice young man trying hard..........

We are in the battle of our lives against political forces who have an immense power to take this country down. We don’t need a young nice men to incorrectly report what’s happening....

[HawkeyeLibkid]

39. Yes

Scream as loud as possible that you don't like something over and over again. I was just going to post that buster is acting like the RW nuts I deal with on a daily basis.

[rurallib]

26. I ahave seen him maybe three times and he stinks to high heaven

jeez - he is just lousy, better suited to a frat than a newscast.

[catbyte]

13. His insensitivity towards women and age is legendary, hawkeye. He is a disgrace.

You don't have a problem with his glaring incompetence? Seriously? Wow. As as woman, he offends me and as a person who appreciates quality journalism, he is a dismal failure.

[busterbrown]

15. I haven’t been on DU long, however every post I have read concerning Russert has pointed out

how idiotic he sounds because of how little he knows.....The guy stinks it up everytime he’s on!!

[HawkeyeLibkid]

22. If you are watching MSNBC

for journalism, you're already lost.

[catbyte]

24. Excuse me?

[Glaug-Eldare]

[TeamPooka]

11. The Little Prince? Good luck with that... nt

[Cosmocat]

17. right

he is the pet of that network.

It is the best we have, but the entire main stream media is so stuck in its back slapping, self appreciating nature. And, even at NBC/MSNBC, they love themselves too much to be honest. Lukie is the sainted Tim's son, and we are stuck with him because of it.

[appacom]

33. Pet is right, and its sickening to watch

[thebard77]

14. Indeed :)

[avebury]

16. I just wrote them.

Luke Russert is an example why nepotism does not belong in the news room. Russert has not earned his bona fides and needs to be sent straight to the minor leagues. If he was not the son of Tim Russert there is no way that MSNBC would be giving him air time. When he comes on MSNBC I change the channel.

[Ilsa]

27. This is how I feel about him. You

Stated it well.

I'm not inclined to urge any employer to fire someone, but he isn't ready for primetime. He doesn't belong on Capitol Hill, IMO.

I turned him off last night after hearing two or three sentences of nonsense.

[alp227]

19. Russert is perfect for M$NBC

A corporate son of white privilege parroting "centrist" corporate talking points for Comcast's media arm, M$NBC.

There's an easy way to avoid spoiled frat boys like Russert: don't watch corporate media...

[Bluenorthwest]

20. Personally, I stopped watching all NBC news folks due to Luke and the way they all polish him

I simply can not respect nor take seriously any of those who pretend Luke is a journalist worthy of the job. Yep, that means Rachel and while he was there, it meant Keith as well.
Turn them all off. Tell them why. None of them is better than their weakest link.

[chillfactor]

28. I happen to like Luke..he is young just as his father once was...

no email to MSNBC for me....if you do not like him..hit the mute button.....instead of having a hissy-fit..

[MADem]

32. No. Hitting the mute button isn't an option. We PAY for cable, and we deserve better than "Luke"

warm crap.

[HawkeyeLibkid]

38. It's apparent

that certain posters are going to kick and scream and yell loudly if they don't hear someone on MSNBC echo a radical stance that will get nothing legislative done.

[jenmito]

30. I've complained about his ignorance before. Today he mispronounced "Wasserman"

pronouncing the "a" like in the word "pass." He also mispronounced "gaggle" (rhymed with "bagel&quot and "Maher" (rhymed with "player&quot . And yet he speaks loudly and obnoxiously, so sure of himself.

[MADem]

31. Mock him on Twitter, too, if you're really gonna get down on it. Do it every time he shows his face

on the tube.

He doesn't belong. The job was some kind of "sorry your old man died" bribe. He has zero talent, plus, he's a dumbass shitbird, to put it bluntly.

[jzodda]

34. wow

I don't have a problem with this guy.

The OP's post is full of anger- I don't get it. What did he do that's so bad that you would take the time to send a message to try and get somebody fired?

[busterbrown]

35. You don’t get it cause you don’t pay attention....Innuendo is important when peoples lives......

depend on the right message coming out of a reporters mouth. Just ask the people who were about to have their unemployment benefits curtailed in the last round of negotiations. Luke’s slant has been to let everyone know how much trouble the president is in and how strong the republican position is......
This guy was awful the minutes after the President's speech on tues, promising over and over again to his audience, that Obama was in deep trouble.......We deserve better!!!!! Yea when people’s financial security are on the line, we deserve someone who knows what the hell is going on not someone who acts like hes calling a high school football game!!!!...

[HawkeyeLibkid]

37. Nice work

Whoever reported me as a "Foxbot" or whatever that would be. You got me! I'm a Liberal, Registered Democrat in the great state of Iowa, which constitutes me being a Foxbot. We get it, you hate Luke and can do better, so instead of wasting kilobytes of space sending e-mails that are going to get nothing done, send your Resume in to fill his position. I'm sure you would be a shoe in. Don't like him, hit mute. Don't agree with his "stance", look elsewhere. Nobody is forcing you to tune into MSNBC.

[busterbrown]

43. My father was an English teacher so I don’t stand a chance.....Thank You for the suggestion!

Incidentally, I don’t hate Luke. I don’t know Luke. He is probably a nice kid. I hate that MSNBC
a station which is supported by mostly millions of progressive democrats has put him on the air.

[jzodda]

44. fair enough

n/t

[forestpath]

40. I find it easier to just not watch MSNBC anymore. I've stopped watching

any show that has Ed Rendell on it so I avoid ignoramuses like Russert by default.

[Myrina]

41. Same here ....

... never could stand Chris Matthews. Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow's unquestioning gushing over everything POTUS/the Dems do is insulting, and Rev. Al - while probably the most objective - is still shaky in his delivery & when he's off his game, very difficult to watch.

I've turned to Current: TYT (ooh, the mean, evil Ugyur! He's insulting our precious POTUS! Oh noes!!) and Elliot Spitzer's shows tell it like it is and drop the hammer on BOTH parties when they need it.

[forestpath]

42. I wish I got Current. I've asked my cable co. to carry it and they won't.

[jzodda]

45. Current is going bye bye

Will be gone very soon I would think since they have been sold.
