In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald: I Defend Snowden Like MSNBC Defends Obama '24 Hours A Day' [View all]I attempted to say the same thing a few posts up,
but you did it so much better.
DURec for Post #27 by Demeter.
MSNBC is part of the overall Corporate Scam. MSNBC contributes to the fraud by labeling Corporatists like Hillary and Obama as the Liberal, Left edge of the Political Spectrum in the USA.
I'll stand with the League of Women Voters when they refused to continue Hosting the Presidential debates:
"The League of Women Voters is withdrawing sponsorship of the presidential debates...because the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter. It has become clear to us that the candidates' organizations aim to add debates to their list of campaign-trail charades devoid of substance, spontaneity and answers to tough questions. The League has no intention of becoming an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public."
--League of Women Voters, 1988, refusal to host Presidential Debates

When the most insightful and honest Political Commentary available in the USA is found
on The Comedy Channel, then we have a REAL problem.
DURec & Kick for honest commentary from Greenwald.
Some people don't like it when the curtain is pulled away from their comfortable fantasies.

He corrected himself when challenged. He was happy to throw the gross hyperbole out there

This is why Greenwald is full of shit. MSNBC doesn't "defend Obama 24 hours a day"!

The only consistent defender of Obama on MSNBC is the Rev. Everyone else has taken unnecessary shots

Agreed. But I think we left Orwell in the rear view mirror some time ago.
