Excuse my french, but Who the Fuck is Ron Christie?

[never cry wolf]

And why should anyone listen to him for any reason?

Why is he on Any media outlet, much less MSNBC...

Ok, he talks fast and loud, that makes him sound like he knows what he is talking about, that is the prime requirement for these shills but he sounds like he believes it all....

Why does he have enough credibility to get on the tee vee?

I am dumbfounded..

1. Even MSNBC tries to have a discussion with oposing views.

I don't know what his job was, but he worked in the Shrub WH. He's just another Shrub loyalist, and they are fast becoming a rare breed.

A former special assistant to President George W. Bush and deputy assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney, Christie is the author of Black in the White House: Life Inside George W. Bush's West Wing.

5. The MSM seems to have an unofficial "affirmative action" program for black conservatives

I'm joking... I think. Seriously, though, I've wondered for a while why there seriously seem to be more black conservative talking heads than black liberal talking heads when 9 out of 10 blacks vote Democratic?

7. As soon as Obama became a viable candidate, the GOP started trotting out their black agents

With Hillary Clinton as the probably nominee, they had already been using women for their talking heads and if they could find a black woman to spout their nonsense, they had a twofer.

6. It takes no credibility whatsoever to get on the TeeVee..

One of the many reasons I don't watch TeeVee any more. :hippie:

10. tv

I will admit I am addicted to msnbc, but doesnt it seem like 24hour cable news is contributing to the downfall of society? The media (anyone whos loud and opinionated) seems to sort out peoples priorities for them. Im new to this forum thing so any help or criticism is welcomed.
