Brokaw puts biased talk show host on MTP panel
Joe Scarborough will participate in the MTP panel Sunday morning. We all know what a shill for the RNC this guy is. Please send a note to the show asking that since they feel it's ok to have a partisan talk show host from the right on the Sunday morning show this week could they balance that out by having Kieth Olbermann or Rachel Maddow on next week.

Brokaw seems so concerned with giving McCain a "fair shot" but what about giving Obama one too?

Here's the link

Better yet, don't watch it but still register complaints to the powers that be.

10. That's what I already do
I check here for info then e-mail but I am only one. It would work if enough people joined in protest together and MTP saw a substantial drop in viewership.

7. How come
Joe Scarborough gets to go on, supposed "straight reporters" like Chuck Todd , David Gregory, and Andrea Greenspan get to go on to add to the RW spin....but don't you dare have someone like Rachel Maddow on, that would show a liberal bias! Or someone like David Shuster. Tim Russert bugged the hell out of me at times, but I confess, I could watch MTP with him....I just can't anymore.

8. oh yeah
and just to piss everyone off, let me remind you of Brokaw's IMMEDIATE response to Bill's Clinton's DNC speech (thanks for the reminder, TPM McCain and Pundits report...)

Brokaw: ""Well look for Bill Clinton, and for anyone in the Democratic party for that matter, its a very tricky case taking on John McCain and trying to rough him up. When John McCain was sitting in a prison in Hanoi, Bill Clinton was writing letters to his ROTC commander and trying to get out of the draft, which he did successfully."

9. Use the link to demand Keith or Maddow equal time!

Since Scabs is such a right-wing shill, in fairness next week we should see some balance. Brokaw is a schmuck.
