Rita Cosby(are you sick of her crap or what?)

[et in Arcadia ego]

Seriously, am I the only one who is TOTALLY fed up with this skank's exploitation of sexual assault victims? It's not just one or two things, every friggin day she's interviewing someone asking them how they feel about their grandkid being buried alive or talking to someone about a woman being raped with a fucking broom handle..

I have little to no interest in knowing what any of that feels like. If a crime's reported, all I'm interested in hearing about is a guilty conviction, not morbid details about the crime itself and how it makes the familys feel..

I think it's high time people start AGGRESSIVELY complaining to MSNBC about her topics and interviewing methods.

Tears for Ratings..

FUCK THAT NOISE.

[KeepItReal]

1. Sorry but her voice alone is an automatic channel changer

<eoM>

[El Fuego]

6. Unfortunately she comes on right after Olbermann.

And I watch Olbermann every night. They do a super quick segue between Keith and Rita Cosby. I have to jump grab the remote before I have to hear THAT VOICE.

[jensmygov]

9. RITA

She has been move to 10p.m. est Scarborough is on after KEITH!!!!!!

[KeepItReal]

12. TIVO handles that for me...not one minute past Countdown, mind you

:-)

[stanwyck]

13. I do a killer imitation of her

and that's only because, like you, I watch Olbermann and I'm not quick enough changing the channel.
How can a sleazoid show like hers follow Keith? The disparity makes her seem all the more odious.
I wonder what Olbermann thinks. It can't be good.

[MADem]

23. Not any more

They've moved Squinty Scumborough into her slot....his ratings must be tanking so bad, they're hoping for a prop-up...dream on. All it will do is lower Rita's ratings, because people will be less likely to flip back.

She appeals to the salacious types, who enjoy those crime victims...there's a market for it, and TV is all about the dollar; otherwise, there'd be no annoying commercials.

[truebrit71]

33. I absolutely cannot stand her voice...

..plus she appears to be continuing the same mode from Faux Spews.... :puke:

[El Fuego]

2. I am totally sick of her.

Her show is SICK. It's just the young-white-girl-murdered du jour show.

[displacedtexan]

3. I've always hated her...

and now she looks positively steroid puffy.

I have to hit the mute button when she appears because of that Not-At-All sexy
rasp of hers.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. Turn it off!!!!

If she gets ratings, she stays, no matter what our letters say.

Crosby and that other one on CNN - neither of them are allowed on my TV. :puke:

[CottonBear]

5. Ignore her. You'll feel better. I promise.

Most DUers turn the channel prior to her show coming on so we don't have to endure even one second of her husky throated bloviating.

edit: Welcome to DU. :hi:

[niceypoo]

7. She is a FOX news reject.......

....need I say more???

[MADem]

26. She was fired, for being too old and too fat, they say n/t

[shantipriya]

8. cosby & the "VOICE"

It amazes me how come a person with that voice got a Talk Show!!!!

[et in Arcadia ego]

14. heh..

Not to mention she's biger than the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man..

[Viva_La_Revolution]

22. now that's just rude

over 50% of this country is overweight. Why can't a fat girl be on TV? They let fat guys on all the time, and nobody says anything.

It's been my experience that guys who make cracks about fat chicks have tiny dicks.

On edit: She shouldn't on tv because of her voice and low talent level

[MADem]

31. I think it is unfair, as well

She was dealing with two problems--age and weight, and supposedly that is why she was fire. They figured they could get anyone to do that sort of show, and she had seniority. Better for their bottom line to get someone on the cheap, or recycle an existing commentator to do those sorts of stories at half the price.

At FAUX they like them young, skinny, dumb as posts, loaded up with tarty makeup and scant blouses, and with bosoms the size of two beach balls.

[SoCalDem]

39. Fox buys lipgloss by the 55-gal drum

They do like their "wimmin-folk" young & sexy..but the guys? well..They got O'Reilly...Cavuto...Hannity...Colmes...Geraldo...Gibson......not many hunkish ones there..

[KeepItReal]

16. Yeah, I dunno how a Blonde "cute" gal in America can get a job on TV news

:sarcasm:

[AlCzervik]

29. what if she went missing, would Rita and Nancy cover it?

Would Rita somehow find a way to cover her own story?

[KeepItReal]

35. You can bet her bleached blonde highlights she would!

To be fair...she may be a natural blonde.

To be more fair...I do like blondes...brunettes...redheads...curly hair...straight hair...

[tularetom]

10. I don't know about where you are

but around here MSNBC has moved her stoopid show back one hour and moved up "Scumborough Country". That means I don't have to grab the remote and change the channel quite as fast as I used to in order to avoid the sound of her semen filled throat.

[maxsolomon]

11. blame the suits @ MSNBC

they put her on to combat Greta's rape + murder porn. poor Rita's doing the best job she can at infotaining us.

obviously, :sarcasm:.

[AlCzervik]

15. don't forget about Nancy Grace and her flaming nostrils of justice.

[BuyingThyme]

18. The great thing about Grace is that she's almost always wrong.

[calico1]

17. I wish she'd do something about that phlegm

problem. :puke:

[Ian David]

19. Rita Cosby ruined her vocal cords by working as a fluffer...

some people say.

[KeepItReal]

"some people" are harsh!

:rofl:

[grasswire]

I hate to ask....

...but what's a "fluffer"?

[Bake]

24. Don't ask ... trust me on this one.

Bake

[Viva_La_Revolution]

27. a 'fluffer'

is the person who keeps a male porn actor "ready" for action... if ya get my drift...

[grasswire]

34. thanks

I thought I knew a lot. Obviously not!

[Ian David]

30. It's in the dictonary under "F"... a couple pages before "G" for "Google"

Lazy bastard...

1. fluffer
(noun) a person in the adult entertainment industry whose job it is to give male porno stars blowjobs in order to get them ready to perform.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

20. Remote controls are

really friendly at times.

[Protagoras]

21. Words can't describe how much she annoys

How she got a job...and why MSNBC seems hell bent on Cramming her down ANYONE's throat...boggles the mind.

[flamin lib]

25. I wanna' know

who at MSNBC she has pics of receiving oral sex and how she talked them into letting her set the self timer. A bruised pallet would explain that voice . . .

[Armstead]

28. She's just a symptom. Typical of the media.

I don't think Rita should be singled out. Unfortunately, she is just typical of what most of t5he MSM has descended into.

At one point, she would have been consigned to the "Tabloid Corner" which has always trafficked in sex and vioolence and scandal. Remember when there was actrually a difference between "Hard Copy" and "A Current Affair" and the so-called respectable news outlets?

Today, all MSM gives way too much time and resoures to such things. In a sane world, Michael Jackson's case, for example, would have merites maybe a short daily summary, and that's it. And mot of these "missing blondes" would hae been limited to the local news in the places where crimes actually happened.

So don't blame Rita. Blame the folks who give her an hoiur of prime time on a cable channel operated by a once-respectable news organization

[MADem]

32. What's the diff, really, between her and Dan Abrams??

Hell, he raced down to Duke, his alma mater, to get the scandal story there! He used his friendship with that attorney whose wife was murdered to get the breaking story...he's all over the Aruba thing as well, lazily using Miss Rita's footage and interviews...

The only differences are timeslot and gender. Other than that, it's the same shit.

For people who cannot bear it, that's what remotes are for....thank heavens for them, because back in the day, ya actually had to get your ass up OFF the couch, walk over to the set, grab the knob, and physically CHANGE the channel!!!!

Oh, the humanity....!

[Democrat 4 Ever]

37. The black hole of Calcutta exists at MSNBC every week night

from 9 PM until 12 midnight. How on earth the powers-to-be at MSNBC don't know that Joe "Dead Intern" Scarborough, Fluffer Rita (what an appropriate name!)and F*cker "He Who Loses His Bowtie in a Lame Attempt to Raise Ratings" Carlson aren't just dead air is beyond me. The scheduler has to be living in one of Dead Eye Dick's undisclosed locations not to know what a waste of time and embarrassment the Trio of Evil are each and every night. Olbermann, on his worst night, is ten times the journalist and show host than the three of them are together on their best nights.

We are seeing minor little shake-ups at MSNBC trying to pull the three of those losers out of ratings hell. Switching Dead Intern and Fluffer, losing that bow tie, will never be enough. Wonder when it will occur to MSNBC what every one in America already knows, that the country is sick of political hacks with no talent?

[MADem]

41. I think the problem is, they've got some of the losers (Carlson, esp.)

...under contract, and those contracts don't have a truncation clause, or a pay for performance aspect--why they did that, who knows, really. They aren't gonna make the "Phil Donohue" mistake again, by letting someone go with cash for not working. If they had hung on to Phil, who had HIGHER RATINGS than TWEETY, they'd be going gangbusters now with him--that show had real potential, and had they tweaked it a bit, maybe put him BACK in front of an audience, like his old show (but not making him run up and down the stairs--have the pages drag the mike around for him!), he could have had a ratings blockbuster.

They really need to use Ron Reagan more, IMO. He gets huge positives when he turns up. People like his no bullshit, yet gracious and gentle, style.

[Avalux]

36. I don't watch her crap, so it can't make me sick.

Seriously though, the woman has an audience or she wouldn't be on the air. It's beyond me why she does but I suppose there are people who like to listen to her human interest garbage.

What do you mean by aggressively complaining? I won't waste my time on it; plenty of other things to take care of.

[SoCalDem]

38. Her show used to follow Keith, but not lately..Is it cancelled?

My husband and I used to scramble for the remote at the end of Countdown, so we would not have to listen to her breathlessly tell us all about the latest on Natalee, when Keith would say "Here's Rita"..

We still turn the channel immediatelyu..but now it's to escape Joe, aka Killer, Scarborough

[cboy4]

40. Why do you bother watching her disgraceful shit? :puke:

Just asking. :shrug:

[Moderator]

42. Locking....

The word "skank" is a sexist term and its
use is a rule violation.
