Ed should just walk off Gregorys show.
They won't even let him comment on subjects.

1. Basically Carney has conceded that Obama is right on issues but plays stupid politics
This is the problem with our political system. We have "journalists" telling us that Obama may be right about her obliterate line or the gas tax, but he is being stupid and that she is playing smart politics by "looking tough" and pandering. Its a fucking joke.

7. They're all dinosaurs
They simply don't get it.

Fortunately more Democratic voters get it than don't.

3. They Just Keep Knocking Obama And Keep Praising Hillary......
I've been listening to MSNBC most of this afternoon - Nora O'Donnell, Russert, Matthews and now this show and its been happening all along. It's clear to me that the MSM is totally afraid of Obama and will do anything to sink his efforts. MSNBC doesn't even make an attempt to get fair and balanced pundits. Ed is outnumbered 4 to 1. I'm a little disappointed that Ed doesn't get mad and say this to them or stop appearing on their airwaves. Why should they benefit off of his good name?

God - I hope Obama wins both in IN and NC tomorrow. This needs to stop.

11. Scabrous is an ass ... he just WANTS her to win becuz she's
playing at being a "good ole gal" -- like his neighbors
on the Redneck Riviera. Scabrous WORSHIPS "Joe Six Pack"
and will root for anyone who dumbs down America.

13. Guess He Hasn't Seen The MSNBC Live Vote
Two of the presidential candidates - John McCain and Hillary Clinton - have proposed a gas tax holiday. Is it a good idea?

52% No way. I agree with Barack Obama - the plan is a gimmick.
32% Yes, I'll take any break at the pump
16% I need more info.

8. I say the same thing about Rachel when shes on that show
Edited on Mon May-05-08 06:00 PM by DJ13
Gregory has a bad habit of starting a topic on the Democratic race by asking a question, starting with the Republicans, each responding in turn, then changing the subject just as it reaches the only Democrat on the panel.

I cant count the number of times he's done that to Maddow, and she always ends up looking really pissed off by the time the show is over.

14. He is by FAR the worst host on MSNBC ...
He isn't fair in allotting his guests' time, tends to "lose control"
of his panels and then tries to re-insert himself in really awkward
ways. Not much of a pro ... He even makes *ucker look polished in
comparison.

20. I've no seen the show yet--a question: could it be he's an inexperienced interviewer? ...
...This is Gregory's first show? I always liked him when we saw press corps coverage. It seems strange that he would switch questions when it gets to the Dems to give a point in rebuttal to the GOPers.

Could it be inexperience as an interviewer on TV?

If not, I am disappointed.

As indicated, I've not yet had an opportunity to see the show (this dratted thing called "work" cramps my stye), but I won't bother making the effort now if he's such an asshat

28. At least you are trying to understand the situation instead of
jumping on the bandwagon and attacking.

12. "Dancing with Rove" ....David just does a 5 Cents a dance these days for his Corporate Whore Masters

15. I actually long for Tucker to come back...
Sad to say, but I agree with you.

At least Tucker would say a few nice things about Obama, unlike the rest of the MSNBC stooges.

Probably why they canceled his show.

18. Except for Keith, we're OFF MSNBC...
No more angry e-mails or phone calls..

don't bother with them. I will turn on Keith, but they're pandering
to the Fox viewer base.

I heard that CNN declared itself "JEremiah Wright Free"
so I may give them another chance... I was sending 'bitter'
emails to Lou Dobbs... giggle.

19. My mother is 85 years old and
a news junkie. After "Race to the White House" today she said that the corporate media and Hillary are going to kill her. She is now watching Animal Planet. She is an angry white woman. Me too!

21. Same here.
With the exception of Olbermann, m$nbc has nothing of value to offer us as viewers. We're gonna try CNN again, but only in small doses.

23. I heard that, too and turned on CNN tonight. Big Mistake. It was a lie. I can't help but
wonder what these nasty fuckers will do when President Barack Obama takes office and they have to report on him, and show him some semblence of respect - at least for awhile. Will they continue to call him the black man and refer to his race? Will everything be couched in terms of color?

Or, will sanity prevail over time.. and people just forget to see "color", or the American people say ENOUGH? That's what I hope for, and pray for.

24. Do you think it's possible that Roberts was just referring to his own
show (American Morning) when he said it rather than all of CNN? :shrug: I'm gonna tune in tomorrow morning and see what they're up to.

go.

26. Yeah.. he was talking about his own show.
He was doing a short 6-minute interview with Obama, and he declared it (that 6 minutes) to be a Wright-free zone. He didn't mention Wright at all in the interview.

27. So six minutes of his show for one day was "Rev. Wright free?"
Swell. :eyes:
