MSNBC continues to embarrass itself, and that\u2019s no easy accomplishment. The one network that actually makes FOX News look fair and balanced, MSNBC continues to reach down to the lowest common denominator of modern discourse. I\u2019m trying to be charitable, but there just isn\u2019t much to say. I watched its election night coverage for about ten minutes, became ashamed at the spot to which journalism had sunk, and turned. The rank and obvious partisanship is bad enough. The open contempt and loathing of all who reject liberal dogmas is bothersome. But the worst thing is that so many of its \u2018stars\u2019 \u2013 Matthews, Olbermann, Madow \u2013 act as though they have yet to hit puberty. Like a bunch of snotty pre-adolescents, they snicker and sneer and laugh and make fun of the other side to a point where you wonder if they have anything valuable to say. And you figure they must. So why act the way they do? <\/p>\n
At least on other networks like CNN and Fox, when Anderson Cooper or Sean Hannity or Bill O\u2019Reilly act obnoxious or partisan, it\u2019s done as an adult acting that way. Compared to the MSNBC gang, I could do better wheeling a TV in front of a bunch of sixth graders. Goodness knows the sixth graders probably would act more mature. <\/p>\n
