“How exactly did Joe Scarborough go from former GOP congressman to attacking the Bush Administration daily?”

He is a deficit hawk, protectionist Conservative (as is Tucker Carlson). Bush does not equal conservative in a lot of conservative circles…just in the right wing media.

Not that cable news would be able to show it, but there are a lot of shades to both conservatism and liberalism instead of simple anti-party people. They just don’t get as much air time because their opinions don’t fit into 30 second to 2 minute segments. Cable news is mostly “This person disagrees with this person…and…FIGHT!” without someone who calls either side on their false statements or factual distortion.

It is all part of NBC/MSMBC’s function as the “most liberal” of the cable news outlets…this is the direction corporate had dictated, and it permeates every aspect of their coverage. Is it any wonder when Chris Matthews expressed a negative view of Hillary Clinton he was forced to apologize immediately? How exactly did Joe Scarborough go from former GOP congressman to attacking the Bush Administration daily? Does anyone wonder how Keith Olber-Snooze managed to build an early prime time show almost exclusively on smearing George Bush and his administration and/or replaying video from the program that kicks his ass virtually every night, “The O’Reilly Factor” {albeit frequently with deceitfully edited clips that distort O’Reilly’s presentations to suit “Countdown”s purposes and deceptions}? Even Tucker Carlson has altered his previous conservative image and just babbles to an ever-decreasing audience.
There IS a place for reasoned, serious liberal discussion…in fact, I’d really like to hear solid liberal ideas on how to apply left-wing “solutions” to America’s problems….if these solutions exist. I’d love hearing how the liberal left will raise the trillions of dollars universal healthcare would cost annually, and how the Federal Government would run the inevitable massive cluster of brand-new bureaucracies efficiently when they have failed in every other attempt to run anything cost-effectively.
Instead, MSNBC gives us Chris “Hillary-Got-Elected-By-Monica” Matthews, Olber-Snooze, and “Pimp My Chelsea” Shuster….and that is why no one can take MSNBC seriously.
The history of broadcast journalism gave us Edward R. Murrow, who fretted over the powers of his medium and struggled honestly with his desires to pro-actively apply his commentary while remaining a trusted news source….and these problems helped drive him to government work in his last years.
Now….if we could just figure out how to drive these bozos out of the media, and keep them out of government, too….There’s the challenge of our time…..

Sarahnia

Someone in the mainstream media finally stopped fawning over Olbermann long enough to call him out for trying to play both sides of the street.

The thing is Hillary isn’t writing anyone about the use of the word “Pimp” in the case of the American Military, so she doesn’t care that our American Military is being disrepected but she wants to be their Commander and Chief. How does describing Chelsea Clinton’s participation in the Clinton Campaign effect say National Security? No one not one of the candiates, are commenting on Code Pink calling Marines’ Bush’s Death Pimps…hmm Hillary must be livid someone send me the link to her statement on this subject.
No I won’t be holding my breath.
