Chris Mathews says nothing justifies the existance of Republicans

Last week MSNBC was fun to watch. It was the start of the Benghazi hearings and everyone was holding their breath, some in MSNBC might have even turned blue.  So the saga began on Wednesday May 8, 2013 with the network reporting that there was no "hard evidence" in the Benghazi hearings, regardless of the all the testimonies, and the fact that "someone" said "stand down". The mystery someone that MSNBC will never investigate of course.  

Chris Hayes said desperately "Republican official and Conservative pundits were sure today’s Benghazi hearing would be bigger than Watergate, bigger than Iran-Contra…but a funny thing happened on the way to the witch hunt, the chickens of cable news came home to roust ."

Of course he didn't make mention of Clinton's Impeachment, God forbid a comparison while Obama faces the same. I also love the way these weak liberals don't get fired for being bullies and for their abusive language and their exaggerations that are libelous. But who was it? Rick Sanchez who called Jon Stewart a bigot and got fired? Liberals just ooze of weakness.

Hayes went on to say "that the Republicans were knocked off today by forces of "DIRT" greater than them. So of course Hayes called half of America dirt! He truly is a disgusting human being. This network is going to make all Democrats look like "BIGGOTS." Oh my goodness did I say that?

Then Chris Mathews gives an incredible long speech, where if you put it together he really wants all Republicans dead.

 "The Republican Party once believed in certain principals, balanced budget, law and order, strong defense, today, it believes in the main chance that’s out there, prying the horizons for the opportunity of instant success. Where they can exploit the hell out of something and somehow end up on top. Benghazi Benghazi …. It’s what will transform a party of weak Presidents' candidacy, and frozen in place politics and congressional obstruction. For as long as the eye can see, they like a national candidate that can woo the vital American center and still meet the harsh dictates of its political base, nor can it find the policy that will grab the country’s imagination.  What they have in their sites what they savor with mouthwatering anticipation is, let’s call it what it is, what they are drooling to devour, is dirt. They are hoping if they can keep making charges, keep digging, keep promising more, one find day they’ll find   something in the desert sands of Libya to justify their existence.

Oops Chris a "weak" presidential candidate ?? weak, with Obama on your team? 
Oops Chris, "congressional obstruction", it looks like it's the State Department that's the obstructer, but you don't know that yet on that day did you?
Oops Chris " a policy to capture" well your team did use an "analysis team" to get your vote... and
Oops Chris.... "justify their existence" I don't think they're going anywhere.

It was sad to see Mathews practically cry "Does this thing have an end?"  No sorry Mathews it isn't going to end any time soon, and you're doing horribly in your rating, actually you admitted last week that "all" of you guys stay "glued" to Fox News. Now what stupid group of Network personnel admits they get their "news" from their competing network? Maybe if MSNBC hired professionals it wouldn't have to go to other sources for real facts.

Gun Control, Gun Control and more Gun Control !

Last week MSNBC decided to cover the gun control controversy, and cover it, and cover it, and cover it. It was quite ridiculous, and I decided to sum up the end of last week in weeknight tv on MSNBC as being about “gun c control”.  Did they report on much else? Yes, somehow on the Rachel’s Mad Show, she decided to cover the closing an abortion clinic. Did she show what an abortion means, maybe a picture of the final product? No, of course not, no station shows that, they say it’s too graphic. It’s too graphic because it should be outlawed. When you fight for something you can’t even look at you have major moral issues, and Ms. Maddow, definitely has deep emotional issues in her life, it’s obvious by her inability to tell the truth and with every angry word she utters that she calls news.

Last week Al Shartpon mentions the word “Republican, GOP, or “extreme right winged” (and yes, I counted) 38 times in his one hour show. Not only is MSNBC chronically bring up past Republican presidents in an effort to blame them for everything, but they also can’t seem to let go of the word. Don’t they know that can be hypnotic, and they can be doing themselves more harm than good?

I decided also to start providing a list of MSNBC SPONSORS that buy commercial space on their night time shows, in a hopes to boycott any company doing business with a manipulative and fact falsifying station.

Alex Wagner’s sat in on the news for Lawrence O’Donnell and explained that 47% of Americans do not pay Federal Income Tax because they are the elderly that have illness or students, and that the Republican party is trying to starve them out. I don’t think Alex knows how to do math. How are 53% of the public supposed to work to support 47% of their society unless they work (TWICE AS HARD TO PAY FOR TWO?) One of the reason’s there are so many “elderly’ needing government help is that we “can’t afford to support people from the age of 65 to 95, with the new life expectancies. WE can’t! We don’t have the money!  Either we up the age of retirement or we fall further economically. That’s just a fact. 

THEN, she shows a map showing the states that have the most people that pay the least in federal taxes, and she continues to say they are “Republican” states. I couldn't find the original picture on their site (not unusual) so I had to recreate it as best as I could, here is what it looked like.  >


Don’t you think it’s KIND OF WEIRD, that these states boarder Mexico? I can’t believe she proved the Republican point. We need to close our borders!

The Rachel's Mad Show


MSNBC seems to do such little journalism work that they tend to replay themes, replay Jon Stewart clips, and replay the same videos in “every” show they have at night. On MSNBC tonight the theme seemed to have been dedicated to former Republican presidents and everything bad they could pull from the past. The covered the Richard Nixon Watergate scandal. Really? That’s current news? Let’s analyze Rachel Maddow’s ramble about the Iran-Contra situation during the Reagan administration. 

I love the way MSNBC explains a story, leaving out the most important facts and reasons. Maddow tries to quickly explain the situation in Iran at that time over 30 years ago! She explains it as a very bad situation, that's all. She rambled through very quickly, saying our relations with Iran were bad, and complicated. Then lies and explains we were helping Iran for political reasons. Wrong!  Of course incomplete journalism and reporting; this is to be expected from them. Their rating are paying for their lack of journalism integrity. I had to laugh because Fox news announced having reached 3 million in Facebook fans. I decided to look at MSNBC’s Facebook page and they has only 155,000 likes, even with all their brain washing attempts, their obnoxious anchor commercials, they still can’t get audience numbers. The REAL sad part was that their night time show Lock up has 187,000 likes.  They are keeping that station alive with reality show convicts. Why am I not surprised?

Nonetheless, let’s continue with Rachel. First let me explain that in Iran, President Reagan was trying to negotiate the return of 7 American hostages being held in Iran, and the real reason for the exchange, now maybe to Rachel this wasn't important, but for many Americans it was. Yes, war equipment was being sold, and not to Iran, it was done through Israel. Given that in this deal they were able to obtain capital, they felt the money would be “best” used to fight the Contra rebels in Nicaraguan who were committing outrages crimes.  

If Ms. Maddow would take to the time to at least “Wiki”, she would find this: “The Contras' form of warfare was "one of consistent and bloody abuse of human rights, of murder, torture, mutilation, rape, arson, destruction and kidnapping". The "Contras systematically engageinviolent abuses...so prevalent that these may be said to be their principal means of
waging war". A Human Right Watch report found that the Contras were guilty of targeting health care clinics and health care workers for assassination; kidnapping civilians; torturing and executing civilians, including children, who were captured in combat; raping women; indiscriminately attacking civilians and civilian homes; seizing civilian property; and burning civilian houses in captured towns”

Not only were the Contras committing these crimes against innocent victims with ongoing casuralties, but this is no different than the vicious crimes being inflicted on civilians today in Syria. Another element in the conflict in Nicaragura was the issue of Communism. The Contras were not only trying to take over the country with violent and horrendous acts, but they also wanted to instill a totalitarian and restrictive Communist regime, having no respect for human rights, and all that “I thought” the liberals held so dear to their heart. The U.S. Congress later resumed aid to the Contras, totaling over $300 million!

But Ms. Maddows can’t seem to tell a complete story, she doesn't seem to be big on the “total” truth.  She can’t even “wiki” like a 3rd grader. Reagan was never indicted or found guilty of any crime. The station loves to make comparisons, like with Clinton, although MSNBC and their very opinionated hosts would like you to believe that he was impeached for having an affair, viewers need to know he was impeached for A FELONY CHARGE OF PERJURY. I advise the MSNBC watcher to take a minute or two of their day to at least Google MSNBC's “half” stories, I mean research – something - anything - please?

Poor Rachel, then her show was followed by an interview with Carol Rosenberg, where she is informed that things have really - really - really gotten worse in Guantanamo Base since Obama had been in office, and even worse in recent weeks. She described how the prisoners are shackled (can you imagine that, being shackled in prison). The ironic part, and most amusing one to anyone with a brain, is the fact that MSNBC shows people in shackles almost every night in their #1 RATED SHOW! – LOCK UP

Rachel tried hard to steer the interview towards the advantage of the Obama Administration, but it wasn't working. She tried to get Rosenber to blame the reasons behind the present Guantanamo base disruptions on the loss of prisoner hope for release.  She made sure these were the final thoughts in the interview regardless of the fact she was trying to spoon fed the response.  I mean are these people for real?  The great part was Rachel’s reaction to this information is that she was calm, too calm. I think maybe in shock. How was she going to defend President Obama with this story? She had just explained in the beginning of her show that our government now under Obama is so different. She just thanked the lady and bowed out. Too Classic!

MSNBC - Further facts !


As promised here is the next break down of the accusations made by Chris Hayes in reference to the Bush administration errors

Torture and Disruption to our Civil Liberties.

 George Walker Bush


1.     Guantanamo – while fighting the enemy we captured many Al Queda soldiers, officers and leaders.We wanted to end the terror against the United States, and these captured culprits “alone” were held, detained questioned (in ways some object to), BUT they were NOT KILLED, and a few released as our national security specialists deemed appropriate, being the ones in charge and closest to all investigations.

2.     Patriot Act – allowing for the government to wiretap and access business records if deemed security risks.

Barack Hussein Obama


1.     Drones – Two months ago the Senate released the number of people Mr. Obama has “KILLED” with is “HUMANE” tactic: Drone Attacks > 4700 people. According to Wired.com. the statistics were compiled by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism and publicly valuable news reports. Micah Zenko of the Council of Foreign Relations claims the casualties to be lower, 1700 causalities. These numbers don’t  take into account the numerous souls now living injured, blind, without limbs or having trauma from the attacks.

2.     Patriot Act - Not only did Obama extend the Patriot Act, it was the reason he was able to track down and kill Osama bin Laden. Obama's Administration says that without these authorizes, the FBI might not have been able to obtain information needed to capture him.  

3.     Lets Add!  -  Obama added the National Defense Authorization – over night after New Year's Eve so the public would not notice, he signed the National Defense Authorization, allowing him to “indefinitely detain U.S. citizens captured here or abroad", in other words the power to target U.S. citizens even for assassination. He actually expanded on the Patriot Act, giving the government broad new powers in the "War on Terror".   

4.     Lets Add some More! - Boston - he went house to house searching for an American Citizen wanted for murder, yes suspected of terrorism, but nonetheless with disregard to the 4TH AMENDMENT'S restrictions on search and seizure. America for the first time Saw how easily the government can take over your civil liberties.

On the biased and non newsworthy material provided by MSNBC, 
lets look at Martin Bashir's show yesterday - April 29, 2013

Using a "whiny sounding voice," he goes on to read a post made my Sarah Palin. He goes on to compare her to what he called "her reality show" equal: Snookie. He continues by describing her as someone "slumped alone and discarded as rubbish", he called her a "non-entity". He called her hopeless and mindless.  He said that bitterness and jealousy mark her character, and that America proved too smart for her. I guess to MSNBC badmouthing is news.

MSNBC can't justify Obama aid to Syria


After much thought I realized that MSNBC needs to be exposed, and it’s quite scary what is there.

April 25, 2013
I tried, I really did. I tried to see MSNBC as a news station dedicated to the truth, but today I put the station on again. Being covered was the George W. Bush Library dedication, and from the minute I was viewing their coverage, there was only derogatory remarks and disgraceful comments. I remember when the Bill Clinton’s Library was being dedicated, and Clinton made it clear that he didn’t like the fact that his Presidential biography in the his Library included the Monica Lewinsky scandal and his impeachment, yet  MSNBC didn't embarrass or humiliate the former President Clinton

What alerted me to expose MSNBC again was this comment: “Omission Accomplished,”  made by Chris Hayes. Who is this guy? I decided to check his credentials. He has only been in journalism for less than 5 years, of those only 2 with T.V. experience, and only with MSNBC.  He grew up in the Bronx, he has a bachelor’s degree (not in journalism, but in philosophy which he received only 11 years ago), and he hasn't completed any further academic achievements.

Omission Accomplished?  Really? The comments “allowed” on his show that night were:  Bush “was like a rock only dumber”, the Bush library was “a 250 million can of white wash”, and “Bush will recover his place as one of the worst presidents”, "You don't have to think about the Bush presidency it was bad.",  "Bush shouldn't have been president." While impeached former President Clinton was described as a political genius. I guess being kind or politically correct does not apply to MSNBC. Hayes even admits that his show is not, nor does it have to be nice; but liberals are nice, right? Don't they want to make the world peaceful and nice, and stopping the bullying? Well, then please Chris lead by example.

The broadcast emphasized what they call was Bush’s greatest errors. Let me break it down for you, and show you the hyprocracy and lack of journalistic integrity. The danger lies is the fact that a very large segment of America is being programmed. Do dictatorships and communist nations program their people? Yes they do! Let’s compare the alleged Bush errors to the Obama Administration's current actions; since maybe some of you may be smarter than you give yourself credit for. Unfortunately, the MSNBC lying meter is so big that I have to actually break down the articles:
First, IRAQ – (this will be followed by their charges of “torture”, “bad economy”, and “disruption to our civil liberties

1)      The Iraq war – George Walker Bush
a. This was a war launched against a man in search of nuclear weapons since the ‘70s. 
b. Saddam Hussein used gas (weapon of mass destruction) to mass murder 5000 Kurdish people in his country.
c. On my August 2, 1990 Saddam Hussein launched an attack on another country: Kuwait.
d. Instead of removing him from power we “allowed” Hussein to stay in power, in return he had to agree to allow the United Nations to inspect his entire country for weapons of mass destruction.
e.  For 12 YEARs; let me repeat that – for 12 YEARS, the United Nations was mocked and their officers turned away, never being allowed to completely inspect the country.
f. The United States took the lead, with a “Constitutional” declaration of war, and with other countries, Hussein was ousted and given a public trial by his own country.

2)      Syria – Barack Hussein Obama
a. Syria has only had a civil war issue for a year.
b. Syria has not attacked any other country.
c. Syria is only rumored to have used gas on it’s people
d. Obama says he will interfere if they use chemicals, and he is funneling funds and weapons to the Syrian opposition –  while he is cutting back on our right to weapons and  Obama is firing federal employees, because he is giving the budget money for his office to Middle Eastern countries instead - over a billion in cash to the Middle East in the past 3 months. 

I will leave you to digest.

Boston - A time to heal


Boston Marathon Bomb
http://www.theweek.co.uk/
Today was set for an extreme first analysis of MSNBC, but the news was overridden by what happened at the Boston Marathon. Sometimes, it is moments like that this, that we see real reporting. Maybe this is why many still stay tuned to the latest events on the network news stations. Maybe this is why we still hope and wait to find out the truth.

The station was filled with commentaries, pictures, and interviews. There were spokesmen, politicians, and celebrities all commenting on their reaction to this disastrous event. The competition between the network news stations takes them back to the old school method of journalism reporting. There was a time when the person who snatched the best story first was the best journalist.
The new more politically correct media is also caught between trying to figure out how much, and what to report. There was a time when words meant more, or had a greater impact. In the movies produced by Alfred Hitchcock, so much was left to the mind, and it worked back then. Today, people want more, and journalists are inclined to give them more; all in the name of ratings.
In today's news, MSNBC first  focused on the event, where and how it happened. The few pictures and access they could get about the story; then they became bolder, showing more carnage, and getting more direct stories from eye witnesses. The fact that we are "on day two" of the tragedy, and the story is still going on, is probably because the State Department hasn’t issued the “blame”, and like any good crime novel, we need a “who done it. ” Many in this nation have been glued to the TV watching the Jodi Arias trial, wanting to know if she killed or not. A terrorist attack on American soil would really need an ending.
My deep condolences and prayers go out to all who have been victim of this tragic event. I believe the media coverage has been fair, but it is best not to go too much further, if it is for the sake of ratings. Too much can be too much. It’s time to let us know more about the culprits and less about the carnage.  It’s also time for America to heal and pray for all victims involved, and make sure this does not happen again.

MSNBC - an analysis



After many years of being able to access news 24/7 in our nation. I realized that the definition of "news" has warped. An opinion can be news. It is not that in the past we didn't have journalists who had their own spin on the news, nor that journalists weren't asked by their editors to grasp your audience with colorful, descriptive, emotional words and stories; but it was just that - colorful, not skewed. The great reporters of the past put themselves in danger, investigated both sides with excitement to get to the "truth". There was no real agenda, the only agenda was the facts. The reality that facts are to be interpreted as it may, was up to the public and each person's personal opinions.

Today we have opinions, and many of them. We have entire cable station program line ups, exclusively for opinions, and MSNBC does an incredible job at trying to sway opinions. The hardest part to accept is that through the years we have heard of many wanting to limit campaign funding. Many have asked to restrict or define what is a campaign donation and how campaign donations should be accepted. All in an effort to be "fair" to all candidates. Well, what happens if a rich person buys a radio or television station and makes it a living and breathing 24/7 commercial for their political party, and then calls it news?

So today starts the MSNBC watch. A summary of their day's news: what is covered; how it's covered; the jokes acceptably said about any topic and anyone; how much time is devoted to their stories; how many times are they repeated, and so on. Is MSNBC a commercial? Does that mean that they, and the Democratic party, are breaking campaign laws? Is it legal to call some shows news when they are not balanced? These are extreme issues that need to be analyzed. If it is so that MSNBC is sponsored, supported, or run for campaigning purposes, bottom line, it is a federal offense. It breaks every campaign law on the books. If it is also using false advertising of any kind, that too is illegal.

MSNBC is an "infomercial" for the Democratic party "if" the Democratic party's agenda is the "only" one the station debates and supports. No more or less than any late night infomercial that tries to sell you a workout video for your health. As it stands, MSNBC already uses its "news reporters" in commercials; and no, not for a toothpaste or to remember their viewers to watch; but commercials telling you how to think. So in essence, they have no fear to take things further; they have commercials within their day long commercial programs. It's not only worth an analysis: It's a must.
