Wow MSNBC Is Dumb

Jonah Goldberg   "I don’t mean that as an ideological thing. They’re professionally dumb. MSNBC gets terrible ratings. Some of Fox’s repeats beat MSNBC’s prime-time fare. This debate offered the network a golden opportunity to reintroduce themselves to many viewers (including me) who’ve come to ignore them for all the obvious reasons. Instead of offering something like an interesting, balanced, panel. They went with Al Sharpton, Lawrence O’Donnell, Eugene Robinson, and Ed Schultz, moderated by Rachel Maddow — with extra commentary from a seemingly drooling Chris Matthews (I particularly liked Al Sharpton sharing his insights on what turns off moderates and independents). In other words they doubled down on their MSNBCness. ....Liberals might respond that Fox does the same thing, except it really doesn’t. They always have at least one Democrat or liberal, particularly for something like a Democratic debate.

The Peoples Cube  presents this paean to MSNBC:
Now look at them moonbats. That's the way they do it
Talking heads MSNBC
That ain't reportin'. That's the way they do it
Shultz, Chris Matthews and Maddow
That's just spinnin'. That's the way they do it
I can tell their viewers are dumb
Maybe got a listener in California
A few more with their minds all Numb
They report those Liberal opinions
No one watching anything
They got these loser viewer ratings
Now where's that Olbermann show? ....
