In reply to the discussion: Regarding MSNBC [View all]BrainDrain
(244 posts)and a rousing cry of "Aux Barricades!!".
I still get that icky WTF feeling whenever I remember Tweety's "tingly leg" comment.
I liked Keith for his reporting, his devastatingly pointed snark, and his ability to accurately project the outrage we all felt.
Rachel I like ALL the time.
The others are kinda...meh...IMHO.
Nuance is a nice thing and can be used to make subtle points, but unfortunately subtle points are pretty much lost on Fox News and anyone who subsists on Fox News. So the "man the barricades" is usually the only thing that will work with them.
I have no doubt at all that if the financial gods will it, then MSNBC will gladly revert to safe, idiotic, false equivalency in the hopes of keeping up with whatever Jones's happen to be the corrupt norm of the moment. ANYTHING on network or cable "News" TV is there for two reasons and TWO reasons ONLY, ratings and revenue. Fail in either one and you will be gone. And THAT my friends is a solid, no bullshit FACT.
