Why does MSNBC promote Shrub's bogus "town hall meetings"?
They have been proven to be nothing but staged BS! Shame on them for lending this joker a shred of credibility!

Peace!

1. Well, ten bucks is ten bucks, eh?
MSNBC is just doing what they are paid to do -- broadcast propaganda.

2. It was pretty funny to see the lady behind him sleeping through his
speech. The seniors seem to be real excited about his great ideas.

6. Because they are the propaganda arm of the General Electric corporation.
teamed with the Microsoft corporation.

Please stop laboring under the delusion that any of the corporate media are trying to 'inform the public'.

11. Well I didn't mean it that way.
I didn't mean to say that you personally are delusional, I'm sorry if it came off that way.

We are publicly calling them on the carpet right now, in this thread.

But I think a more effective answer is to just not pay them. Do not buy what you don't want.

13. They're taking his bribes and DON'T CARE ABOUT ETHICS
MSNBC should be SHUTDOWN. I can't even stand to listen to them anymore. I'm TIRED of Chris Matthews(Tweety) because he's SUCH A REPUBLICANT.
