(2,208 posts)Sounds like MSNBC accomplished its mission.
Which was to piss you off.
Makes you more susceptible to the advertisements.
Not necessarily the ones on the show, just advertisements in general.
Pissed off people tend to want to salve the pain of living on planet contradiction by purchasing consumer products. And people who get pissed off at the TV machine and then yell about it on the interwebz probably aren't going to, you know, actually do anything worthwhile about it anyway. Go shopping! Drink coffee!!
They also accomplished their mission of getting you to type in the words "Morning Joe" and MSNBC into the Google Box. Adds value to those words every time you do it. And, you typed the words "Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow and Chris Mathews" as well. BONUS!!!
Keep up the good work!
I'm sure MSNBC, and the rest of Corporatia appreciates your efforts.
And just so you know? Those other words you typed - "distortionist, a liar, a dishonest partisan" etc... They couldn't care less what you actually think about their product. Just as long as you keep typing those keywords! Money!!!
And that notion of "having a 'different' viewpoint"?
Now you're just being silly!
There is no "different" viewpoint!
It's ALL the Corporate viewpoint!!!
They get you silly proles fighting each other over whether the "People's Front of Judea" or the "Judean Popular Front" is the one true carrier of the true truth, and then you don't notice that MSNBC's shareholders are the very people who have stolen your future from you. It's really very clever and you've fallen squarely into the trap. Congrats! Hope you enjoy this latest word from our sponsor...

Woo-hoo!!!
Drink COFFEE!!!
