General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I don't much like Tom Brokaw [View all]Where was George
(23 posts)Most of them are. One way to tell is when they start saying things (such as Brokaw said to Tweety yesterday)
"Both sides have launched negative campaigns"
Which of course is all bullshit. One of the techniques these "tools" like is to poison both wells. Fouling the Democrats with the poison from the GOP they can then declare. "all politicians are crooks".
Tools are the mainstay of MSN. No major market can claim to be completely free of them. In fact MSNBC has compromised members as well. They're not nearly as bad or obvious as Fox or even CNN but they're there.
Even Amy Goodman has been compromised. There are certain extremely important subjects she refuses to bring up.
Dan Rather was a tool most of his life though towards the end of his career at CBS he straddled the fence more and more often. Sometimes doing the bidding of his corporate masters, other times being independent. 49 years after the fact Rather still refuses to acknowledge that he was coerced into stating the huge LIE that President Kennedy was killed by a shot from the rear. Rather was the ONLY news man to watch the Zapruder film for some 13 years. Until it was released on the Geraldo Rivera Show back in 1976. Even today Dan Rather will not touch this subject.
Cenk Uygur is more honest than the rest. The reason MSNBC had to fire him.
I give Rachel Maddow a free pass for being so soft on the Military Industrial Complex. I know in her heart she'd love to scream the truth but them she'd lose her job too.
Each must compromise his/her integrity at times but Tom Brokaw is a worthless toad. A total run of the mill, milk toast journalist.
