In fact, ANY neocon or enabler is more than welcome to try that method of distraction. Makes me no nevermind!

...they want dubya and everything that happened under his regime to vanish. Everything wrong is either Clinton or Obama's fault. Attempts at revising history (like what Grumps McQueeg is doing) only keeps this sorrid episode of history in the public eye and reminds us all of who was responsible for the needless deaths and war crimes. I'm all for them trying...maybe the revelations will wake someone up in the Hague and get a war crimes inquiry underway...that'll surely put the history on record...

Like fux playing that Obama film. I'd be more impressed if they ran it on their regular network. Although it will be fun to watch Mourning Joe spluttering about the unfairness.

MSNBC was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the war. Remember the hero they made of this reporter? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bloom

Also, remember why they fired Phil Donahue?

MSNBC marketshare is small compared to prime time NBC.

Oh, I forgot dances with stars is on

You had my hopes up for a second. Cable audiences are way smaller than broadcast so this show will get no traction.

they always are (browbeating) but recently Rush and Hannity have devoted huge portions of their shows (enough for me to hear it) "hammering" NBC News.

Now I see why.

You saw this where, please?

If it never gets printed it didn't happen...1st Rule of Newspeak.

It will also allow us to tell NBC what we think about that, and to not edit out the "good" parts.

I've read that cable providers in some states (Alabama for one) are not allowed to carry MSNBC. That means tomorrow's audience will be even smaller.

some interruption. A 30-minute digital freeze at the least. A total preempt at the most. The cable neo-cons are scrambling right now to find a reason. A sudden windstorm? A toddler falls down a crack in the earth? All cable employees "go on strike." The network cable feed "has been cut so we're bringing you local high school basketball instead?"

For what it's worth I am startled that MSNBC is allowing Hubris to show.

NBC will do it when you need a parka
in hell even though Hubris needs to be aired
in a bigger venue vs MSNBC.

I'm glad its playing on MSNBC but it will never be played on a major network until long after the war criminals are dead.

Wrestling gets more viewers as does
Pawn Stars.... sad.
