what is being said at Fox. We don't watch Fox but no one has ever told me that they spend timeshowingwhat's going on at M$NBComcast. If I wanted to see shithound Hannity or Scumbaugh or any of their crap guests, we'd watch Fox.
This non-stop diet of RW talking points is more than I can take.

(31,211 posts)put on a show. You pay a couple of interns to sit there & capture every dumb ass thing spewed on Faux, and make a show out of it. It's the only thing I can think of. It's just cheaper than actually doing investigative journalism. I swear, before I gave up on Bashir & Rev. Al, I was wondering if they had some side arrangement with Rush & Fox, because it seemed more like promotion than refutation to me. MEMO TO MSNBC: Not every ridiculous thing said on Fox is newsworthy.
I still watch MHP on weekends. She's a smart lady, with a refreshing show, and she has smart & varied guests who talk about real issues, outside of politics & Fox.

(7,566 posts)Why must I hear, over & over, Palin's, or Limbaugh's, or whoever, on those nut shows latest idiotic remarks. If they just referred to some stupid offensive remarks in order to rebut them, without playing the actual comment, it wouldn't be quite so bad.

(1,596 posts)I change the channel every time they play clips of these morons so I haven't really watched much since the elections.
That is not what I watch MSNBC for.
I went 20 years without ever having to listen to Limbaugh but you can't get away from him if you watch any of their evening programing.
I am sure that fox doesn't spend their time playing clips from MSNBC.
It just seems desperate and sad.

(103,856 posts)although they are turning OFF the ones who do watch. People who love FOX, watch FOX..
I keep wishing and hoping that someday, MSNBC will figure out that they do NOT need "the other side of the story".. That is FOX...and WE don't want to watch it or we would be watching FOX.
Truth has another side...and that's called a LIE..
Program around truth, and let the republicans & the Harold Ford democrats congregate at FOX..

(10,893 posts)when they play FOX/Limbaugh clips. To me, they are doing what the wingnuts dont in correctly presenting the other side's argument and proceeding to refute it. I would be disappointed in them if they didn't call out the nonsense from the RW mouthpieces. In addition, without any clips of wingnuts to refute, there wouldn't be that much to discuss.
