Ron Reagan to Host MSNBC News/Talk Show

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Of course he has to share it with a rightwingnut-god forbid a liberal get his show on cable news:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ron Reagan, son of the late president and conservative hero Ronald Reagan (news - web sites), will co-host a new political talk show on MSNBC, the network said on Wednesday.

Reagan will host "Connected: Coast to Coast" from MSNBC.com headquarters in Redmond, Washington, MSNBC said in a statement.

The show, which will air twice daily, will base its other host -- Monica Crowley, a former Richard Nixon aide and Fox News analyst -- at MSNBC headquarters in New Jersey.

Reagan drew attention last year when he gave a spirited eulogy at his father's funeral condemning politicians for using their religion for political gain and for a speech on stem-cell research at the Democratic National Convention.

1. "Monica Crowley, a former Richard Nixon aide"

They make it sound like she was part of the Nixon White House.

Actually, whatever she had to do with Nixon was shortly before he died.

2. Honestly

Why the fuck doesn't he get his own show? There isn't one outspoken liberal that has a show on cable news. Librul media indeed...

5. Although conservatives get shows...

...where they can air their bullshit unopposed, liberals and anyone to the left of Ann Coulter cannot be allowed to have air time unopposed. Don't you know the rules?

3. Oh, Criminey

From the news item:

"His death touched off a national mourning not seen in decades."

Eeek, I had to stop watching the news for two weeks during that period! Of course, since Nov 3, I no longer even watch the news - read it on the internet.

Glad Junior is getting a program - he's an atheist, and I'm quite fond of atheists.
