I'm going to end my boycott of MSNBC.
I have not watched MSNBC since they fired Donahue years ago.

I will only watch Keith Olberman's show. Once he signs off for the night, I turn the channel back to other channels I usually watch.

1. You may be pleasantly surprised with their new attitude.

For the most part it seems they've done an about face.
The bloods in the water and I think they're trying to be first to lock on to the new sheriff ( democrats ) in town. :shrug:

2. msnbc seems to be taking baby steps to the left.
But, be warned, other than Kieth it is "baby steps". But, it is a beginning.

4. If it's true that Rachel Maddow is moving to evenings on AAR...
it may be a lot easier for MSNBC to expand their use of Dr. Maddow for their programming, if they are inclined to do so.

Olbermann is the only 'mainstream' news show I watch. the rest are Comedy Central and Free Speech TV/Link TV

5. I sent Mr. Olberman email telling him that I will now watch his show
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 04:53 PM by liberaldemocrat7
and that I ended the boycott of MSNBC and I included a few choice graphics. I also asked him to ask Mr. Scarborough what really happened to his dead intern and has Mr. Scarborough no decency.

6. Keith O is the best
I love it.

He also caps on Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise and other H'wood skags.

7. Watching K.O. is allowed and encouraged...
Watching Tucker Carlson on the other hand has been shown to cause brain damage in
laboratory experiments.

8. I'm staying at my status of ONLY watching KO....and nothing else
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 05:23 PM by FrenchieCat
on the MSNBC/NBC/CNBC/NEWSWEEK all owned by GENERAL ELECTRIC Corporate Defense contractor Extraordinaire!

They ain't lulling me back in prior to the election. They may be acting "better" right now....but I have to believe that it is temporary.

In the end they just need an audience while they continue to exercise undue influence on our democracy.

They can fool some of the people some of the time....and even more people if they act right for a minute......but I ain't going with the Okey-Doke no more!

with GE as well.
