You have lost your mind!

My laugh of the day!


Everyone went over to FOX again. Where they were at least ¾, right

Journalism isn't very popular in this America. CNN realized that, and has moved onto Nancy Grace and like. What sells in America today, is bought by those who think journalism is lame and idiotic.

Though I don't often tune-in, if NBC would "turn the lights out" it would be when advertisers stop buying time.
LOL Thanks for the good laugh. Now I am ready to face the morons running around the streets of our once great country.

You lost any and all credibility with this comment. Good Lord, the brainwashing is complete.

No, broadcast can't even do that and most homes in America gets ABC, CBS, CW, NBC and Fox. Cable/Satelite channels are a little different but MSNBC is on a normal basic package if I am not mistaken. Which means they should get some bites but it seems the pie slice they have is getting smaller. Let me put it this way, HLN is not as basic as MSNBC and they are getting better ratings through attack dog television. I MSNBC need to rock the boat and put new and more relevant people on tv.

Probably not, but that's not the topic.

I doubt that most of us ever heard that she is a lesbian and it wouldn't matter anyway. I don't watch her because I think she is dishonest and her Big Government politics get boring and silly.

Intelligence is immaterial. The Unibomber was also "an enormously talented individual".

I've only watched him (shouting) for a few minutes. I must have seen someone else because the Mathews I saw doesn't fit your description at all.

Another dishonest idiot who loves Big Government.

Why do you like dishonest idiots so much?

Actually it isn't off topic, Fox News is a cable news channel just like MSNBC, I think people should watch less of cable news channels in general.

This is just further proof that the bs opinions put forth on MSNBC about "social justice", "diversity" and "progressive politics" are only sucked up by the few proudly stupid fools who could actually tolerate watching that crap for more than 5 painful seconds.

Yet more people on the right enjoy having their crap spoon fed to them by Fox News. Both channels are crap, only progressives are not sitting in front of their televisions having their politics spoon fed to them.
