'Morning Joe blames 'powerful cable news network' for Buffalo massacre'

the Republican party that owners are corporation media.

All, we all, can use a new pillow from time to time.

when Keith Olbermann wanted back on MSNBC but was black balled?

...but I don't know anyone who's alienated more people he's worked with than him. And in his latest bid to get back on the network, he threw Chris Hayes under the bus, which probably annoyed Rachel Maddow, who owes her TV career to Olbermann. He's a no-brainer for "MSNBC Prime", but blew up his chance because he has an ego as big as an elephant. For all the people who don't like the guy, KO is his own worst enemy.

What a waste of a great talent because of his poor people skills.

Was there twice, I think. But he’s one of those people who wants to be his own boss. Corporations don’t work like that.

Management tolerated him until it couldn’t. He’s a difficult personality, for sure, but he does have a way with words.

He can be such an effective on screen personality, but apparently he does not like playing by the rules and often goes out of his way to break them.

Nearly all of his predictions about Trump & Co. have failed to materialize. They felt good when we first heard them but now they seem like misses.

His ego is certainly his biggest enemy as he's consistently had problems with his co-workers.

Still, I like to hear what he has to say!

I agree with you about Olbermann. The maintenance factor involved is just too high...

yet Olbermann is constantly taken to task for his "ego"?

He speaks unfiltered opinions about the right and that seems to ruffle some corporate feathers.

Way long ago, I used to watch Olbermann's show. Then his bombastic style started grating on me. When word leaked out about his temper tantrums, it completely soured me on him.

Now, he comes across to me as a version of Bill O'Reilly for another political tribe.

And EVERYONE who has cable that carries that network HAS to pay for it. You cannot opt out.

What a fucking scam.

Because I have tried.

pay a Fox fee. I hope not. You have to opt into every channel you use.

ABC News, CBS News and NBC News each have around 8 million adult viewers

And that is adult viewers which I didn't make clear so that comes out to about 3 million viewers.

FOX gets millions and that's a lot more viewers.

each crush Fox News in the ratings and number of viewers.

That's never mentioned by those who claim Fox dominates the ratings

enough of the right places

Doesn't mean they'll be successful

to help get them elected, excuse racism, sell white supremacy and now fight gun reform again….

here's a contact page for syracuse uni https://diversity.syr.edu/contact/ with contacts for groups that might want to pressure their university - i doubt contacting admin or athletics from outside would get anywhere

to destroy fox, destroy rw radio, a much more vulnerable and valuable target.

as soon as the uni is forced to discuss this absurdity in public advertisers will head for the hills, other schools, will have to follow, and it won't be long before the ad industry will have to break up the rw monopoly

wouldn’t be surprised if there were a couple of those stations blasting conklin, where this guy was from

from fakenewsradio.org NEW YORK 7 Syracuse 6, Army 1, listed with 86 other universities supporting 260 x-limbaugh stations

Right wing radio/media to my mind has been the root cause of the destruction of our civil decency which comes from the respect and adherence to democratic governance. (small d)

I've always understood the direct link, but in earlier years it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears (until recently)
among my fellow Democratic Party leaders and voters.

It's a very challenging, but very critical cause.

the message - the ad industry will break up the monopoly and the country will go 10+ pts left on facts and truth alone

An easy argument can be made that we are not a democracy NOW.
The challenge is to revive our democracy. I want my democracy back!

Its the titanic ...

Taking on water and a matter of time until it goes under, badly.

when a loser quack like Trump is able to add three quacks to the Supreme Court, it is hard to say we are still a democracy

if the cons would pay $1000 for a one hr radio infomercial, 1200 stations x 15 hrs/day is worth $90M/week and about $5B/year FREE! to them.

and it would be easy to destroy, see above
