MSNBC is Sick

Removable Mind said:
Hmmm, well, you think this type of tabloidism is confined to MSNBC? Do you see any other media source as NOT BEING SICK?

If your thread title had been CABLE NEWS NETWORKS ARE ALL SICK...then I'd buy your premise.

But I would add "ALL RADIO TALK SHOWS" are sick along with your premise that MSNBC is sick.

And I'm not excluding any because of their respective political leanings. I MEAN ALL are.

They're selling the public agendas and outrageous "opinions" masquerading them as facts....or viable information. When in FACT they are disseminating pure bull****. ALL OF THEM!

What is astonishing to me is that people freely accept all that is said as fact rather than mostly opinion. And they believe that bull****.

Thanks...

I don't see this kind of crap from the right. I do see the lefty heads spin when they are confronted with a Black conservative. I see the left expect a Black person to be liberal or they are "extreme". Ever hear of the "Crispus Attucks Tea Party" on MSNBC?

MSNBC is sick, the BBC is sick, CNN is sick, Fox is sick, most mainstream media is sick. Their constant picking and nosing, their casual disregard for fact-checking and privacy, their outrageous headlines that has nothing to do with the subject, their hyperbole and pure lies, that's why I watch only domestic TV

KBS, MBC and SBS are sick too, perhaps you're a little too nationalistic to notice. :mrgreen:

BTW the BBC is the only one of those news organisations that regularly apologises if and when its coverage fails to report accurately or with due impartiality. When was the last time Fox or MSNBC apologised for its partisan hackery?

Oh...I get it...more partisan bull****...

Well, just as I thought. Now your "lean" has been disclosed.

If you want to buy into the right - left nonsense...be my guest. They're all ****ed up...no matter what the political area, affilitation, party...etc.

Drink all the propaganda kool-aid you wish.

I would put the black speaker on the Chris O'Donnell program in that category. Who do you think is a "racist dog whistle"?

What? Do you not remember when Obama told Republicans i they can sit in the back seat. The right turned that into sitting in the back seat of the bus and compared it to Rosa Parks for god sakes.

A racist dog whistle isn't a 'who' it's a 'what', and there are whole lists of coded expressions used to appear to say one thing but really are designed to whip up racial disharmony. 'Food-stamp President' is one, 'States' Rights' is another and constantly referring to anyone who opposes racist behaviour as 'playing the race card' is a third. That last one appears here at DP far too effing often!

We call it the "race card" card. Yep, we do see that a lot.

State's rights is a constitutional concept, so I fail to see your objection.

More people are on food stamps under this President than any other in history.

If you're accusing Santorum of racist behavior, then show me the evidence.

I haven't mentioned Santorum.

I don't watch cable news and this is one of the reasons why. This sickness needs to be confronted by free thinking Americans so our country can become what our civil rights leaders envisioned for America. What do you think?

Did you want to articulate why you agree and tell us what you think?

How does one commentator's ONE hyper-partisan comment make an entire network 'sick'?

Morning Joe is a great show with all kids of points of view.

I really don't think "food stamp president" is a dog whistle. Food stamp usage went up under Obama. It would be no different than calling Bush the "Middle eastern war president". It's merely a characterization based on some event linked to the period of time in which that person lead the country.

My views are clearly expressed throughout this thread.

What is sick is this is passed off as worthy programming. I think this entire "code" crap is sick. Finger pointing without a reason.

Yet in your very next post, you say this:

It was coded. Make no mistake. I realize that is an unpopular opinion to take down in Texas but it doesn't make it any less true.

Doesn't this make you just as "sick" as the idiots on MSNBC?

Again, this is another demonstration of the liberals in the media playing the race card and their sheep following suit. There is only 2 reasons why someone would do this, and I'm not sure which one is worse. Either you are playing a political game and lying like the liberal talking heads on TV, or you have actually been brainwashed into believing that crap. This is one of those times when taking the 5th is the recommended option.

****************************

Then of course there's the fact that you have done exactly the same dishonest crap that liberals on this board do to just about every thread in this section of th forum, and that is, to take a thread that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Fox News, and quickly try to turn it into another thread bashing them.

Captain America said:
Well, in all fairness, they do make a valid point. I am certain FOX wouldn't have passed on a similar opportunity to bash Obama.

But you're right. Cable news sucks.

I agree about the sensitivity meter is America being way too high. Folks need to lighten up. That includes the sensitivity meter to propaganda channels like MSNBC and FOXNews. We all know they're tabloid television. Why the uproar? I don't recall Americans getting so upset over the crap printed in the National Enquirer. These two networks aren't much different IMO.

When the thread is about Fox being biased, it's "Fox sucks" from those on the left.... When it's about MSNBC or CNN however, all of the sudden "Cable news sucks" becomes the response... Funny how that works.

this one is classic
read and learn:
Dog-whistle politics, also known as the use of code words, is a type of political campaigning or speechmaking which employs coded language that appears to mean one thing to the general population but has a different or more specific meaning for a targeted subgroup of the audience. The term is invariably pejorative, and is used to refer both to messages with an intentional subtext, and those where the existence or intent of a secondary meaning is disputed. ...
