Can Scarborough Country be axed next please

[quinnox]

I was pleased to see Savage get fired. Now if MSNBC will fire Joe Scarborough next, I might even start watching the channel again.

1. I still need a public apology for Donahue

What they said about him was disgraceful

[goobergunch]

2. I second...

both the original post and post #1.

3. ...

What did they say about Phil? I just recall his ratings blowing. Liberals need to be entertaining, which is why I want a TV show. That, and I wanna make fun of people. Anyway, Joe isn't nearly as bigoted as Savage.

4. Phil was the top rated show at MSNBC

which admittedly is not saying much, but Savage and Scarborough were/are so low as to be almost unmeasurable.

10. I found this quote

That report--shared with me by an NBC news insider--gives an excruciatingly painful assessment of the channel and its programming. Some of recommendations, such as dropping the "America's News Channel," have already been implemented. But the harshest criticism was leveled at Donahue, whom the authors of the study described as "a tired, left-wing liberal out of touch with the current marketplace."

The study went on to claim that Donahue presented a "difficult public face for NBC in a time of war......He seems to delight in presenting guests who are anti-war, anti-Bush and skeptical of the administration's motives." The report went on to outline a possible nightmare scenario where the show becomes "a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity."

13. Havnt they heard of niche marketing..???

The report went on to outline a possible nightmare scenario where the show becomes "a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity."

...sounds like a political decision disguised as a marketing one. And a bad one at that. If all the competitors have the same product, why not offer a different one?

5. Play up the Lari Clausutis murder/scandal angle...

...in addition to anything else you can pin on ol' "Ass-Eyes"- his 15 minutes of fame are about up anyhoo....

6. I saw Savage last weekend, it was hilarious!

He was wearing this long black SS looking trench coat, his sunglasses, and whipping around a riding crop! Talk about closeted!

It was all hate hate buy my book, hate hate, the lights are too bright for my eyes, hate, buy my book :eyes:

[TheBigGuy]

14. your kidding!

this is a hoot...a uniform fetish, huh.

[DemDogs]

7. Scarborough's show is a collection of factual errors

He has so many errors, the Dems should ask for equal time just to do corrections. I had to quit watching him.

9. no shit! scarborough, coulter, matthews, flush em all

if they don't have anyone to counterbalance their garbage from the nazis then they obviously have a nazi agenda

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

12. scarborough is more dangerous than savage

because msnbc goes out of their way to bestow 'legitimacy' on him. like in the way the rw talking points and slurs in his promos get read by the official msnbc announcer, implying that things like "bill moyer's poisonous attacks on our president' and "michael moore hates america' are official network positions.

no one ever took the savage weiner seriously. unfortunately, i have a few family members who love dead intern's "plainspokenness".

and they seem waaaaay too attached to the guy. he seems to be the new matthews, who gets to stick around indefinitel even if his show is ratings poison.

btw, when weiner got hired, joe had him on the show multiple times and always introduced him as a guy who 'always tells it like it is'--time to call him on it?

15. Tweety needs to go first

please, dear sweet deity, would someone put this spittle-projectiling self-important buffoon away in a dark room?

wait, that would open up a spot for the Smirking Plagarist, Mike O'Barnicle. Eeesh...blow up the whole channel.

16. Get them all outta there, They doing America great Harm with their shit

I iz an ole fart and I have never seen the level of lies and distooooortion as I have these past 2- 3 years. The Right Wing CLAP is guilty of foisting this scam on America for their onw gain, not Americas.

\Come, we eat some good food and plan the Party when these idiots are exposed for what they truly are, despicable rats.
