What's the deal with Dylan Ratigan??

[Siwsan]

Is he an MSNBC right wing concession?

[Thrill]

1. He's an Attention Whore

nothing more.

[csziggy]

2. He's a one issue anti-bankster guy

Otherwise I think he is pretty much a conservative. I turned away as soon as he said getting bin Laden one the one campaign promise Obama has kept. If he is going to use right wing talking points, I won't watch him.

[Siwsan]

5. That's when I switched the channel, too

Damn. Guess I'll stay away until Hardball. I bet Chris will be a ball of fire, tonight.

8. I used to turn to MSNBC after Scaberous Joe was off

And watch most of the day. But even before they dumped David Schuster they started firing the good news people. Now I would like to watch Tamron Hall but With her being sandwiched between Andrea Mitchell and Martin Bashir, I keep getting involved in other programming and miss her. Usually I turn over at 6 to watch Cenk, maybe keep it on for Chris, and watch most of the evening shows.

10. I'm having trouble getting that 'sandwich' picture out fo my mind...

nice one!!

:hi:

[damntexdem]

3. Dial-in Rat-again?

He's far from the only RWer on MSNBC.

4. He fits into boxes poorly. Nobody that hits the banks and the insurance cartel that hard is a boon

for either party.

6. the discussion I saw a few minutes of (around 3:15 CDT) had Sam Seder on,

plus the guy who wrote the book about the Tora Bora getaway.

it was pretty on point, I thought: GFO of Afghanistan ASAP, among other things

it also highlighted the $1.3 TRILlion we've spent in Iraq and Afghanistan

couldn't find anything to argue with for the <10 minutes I saw

[devilgrrl]

7. He's another US Media Hack

eom

[fredamae]

9. I don't watch Ratgan, I have essentially left MSNBC

after KO was fired by the idiots.
I left CNN Years ago, Faux has always been "carbuncle soup"...So
Rachel and Ed are all that's worth my time, these days.:)

[monmouth]

17. Keith wasn't fired, he quit....n/t

[golddigger]

11. Dylan covers wall street where even I can understand.

I like watching Dylan. That the deal I have.

[earthside]

12. Ratigan is good.

His program is meant to focus on the economy ... I think that's why he's on when the NYSE closes.

And, yes, he isn't down the line liberal/progressive like Maddow or like Olbermann was. But, sheesh ... a line-up of people who all believe and say the same predictable things, well, that's the FoxPAC-TV formula.

I may not always agree with Ratigan, but hey, that's okay -- he much better on the economy than just about anyone who appears in the mainstream media.

[spanone]

13. he's the loudest speaking guy in any room

[opihimoimoi]

14. A sleeper troll...i don trust him...

[FrenchieCat]

15. CNBC directly transferred asshole......

Some think he is against Wall Street and Banksters,
but he was actually one of their biggest supporter
before that shit came back to bite on CNBC, hence
he was transfered.

He's a sleeper RWer......but because he often says nti-Obama stuff
dealing with the economy that some on the Left eat up like vitamins......
some like him.

[demwing]

16. Please stop.

Okay?

Not everyone that agrees with Obama is a progressive, and not everyone that disagrees is a conservative.

Can you please just stop playing that game?

[Shagbark Hickory]

18. I don't know what you're talkin bout willis. DR used to be one of the only reasons to watch

that piece of shit excuse for a media organization.

Very populist, he was. He'd expose a lot of the greed with the banks, corps, politicians and "insurance cartel" (a phrase in which he coined). Granted I haven't watched that channel in about a month so things could have changed. They could have him saying different things now but I think the ybooted him off cnbc originally because he didn't fuse too well with their rightwing agenda.
