Comcast (51%) and GE (49%) both bring good things like Pat Buchanan to life.

NBC is owned by Kabletown.

NBC and MSNBC was the last network I watched but between keeping Buchanan and firing Olbermann, I just couldn’t do it anymore. Sorry Rachel. I’m just not entertained by “Uncle Pat’s” racism like you seem to be.

Good morning all,

“Judge” thomas is just one more facet of the bush curse on America.

Good morning, pups. It’s Dowd and Friedman today. MoDo is the latest to give us her version of dish about the new Jobs biography. In “Limits of Magical Thinking” she says that Steve Jobs created what Shakespeare called “the brightest heaven of invention.” But his life sounded like the darkest hell of volatility. Am I the only one who doesn’t give a crap about Jobs’ private life? Apparently… The Moustache of Wisdom, in “Barack Kissinger Obama,” ‘splains why President Obama has been more successful at implementing George W. Bush’s antiterrorism policy than his own foreign policy.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Now I’m off to search for one of the cats’ realistic looking toy mice because someone at the office wants to use one to freak out the boss. Maturity — ain’t it grand? I haz a ton of it! Have a great day

Comcast is the majority owner of a major television network, numerous cable channels, and movie studio. They’re also the largest ISP, fourth largest telephone service provider, and of course, the largest cable provider. I’m not entirely comfortable about the idea of their limiting discourse and opinion.

My NBC problem isn’t necessarily “Uncle Pat”. Facts should chase bad opinion out of the marketplace. My NBC problem is Brian Williams and David Gregory. They’re supposed to be the ones responsible for putting the facts out there. Both are admitted tools of the right. And both are doing exactly what Comcast and GE want them to do.

Television’s not a symptom of the disease, it’s the delivery system. We need to let it go.

Why does PBS continue to syndicate the McLaughlin Group?

Please feel free to throw your television out the window, provided there isn’t anybody in the line of fire but don’t impose your value system upon me. I don;t watch cable news because they lie and they promote bigots, (whether racial, homophobic, misogynistic, etc), nor do I ever watch the Sunday wank fests. I am 51 and my IQ has consistently tested in the superior range. I really think I’m capable of analyzing things for myself without somebody coming along and telling me how awful I am for watching The Walking Dead every Sunday evening. Nor do I use comcast for anything but the fact is, whomever we use, they are going to be evil and there is going to be some persons who have a problem with it. Lecture your children, not me.

Same reason NPR doesn’t fire Maria Liasson. Stockholm syndrome.

No lecture, none of that was intended for you personally at all. Just an ongoing rant of mine.

Sorry. Time to air out the dogs. Bye.

I thought I was the only one who liked Walking Dead. Not the least apologetic about it, either.

Boxturtle (If I watched Pat, I’d make sure the blinds were closed though)

Don’t get me started on Williams and Gregory! By the way, could someone fill me in on “Walking Dead?” Don’t have cable.

Geez, I thought the Walking Dead reference was to the Sunday news show people. More coffee!

Walking Dead is your basic flesheating zombie plot, it runs on Sunday evening. I like the characters portrayed and it’s well written. Worth a try, if you like that sort of thing. I think it was originally intended as a 6 episode filler, but it turned popular and got renewed.

Boxturtle (But after watching it, you may find a strange need to go buy a shotgun. Or more ammo)

Oh, and this is interesting. Will we actually see a bankster on trial?

Boxturtle (Bet his campaign contribution check bounced)

Was that a response to me? I know the diff, I just had a moment of early morning confusion. Or, maybe it was my first “senior” moment lol. As to watching, my policy on flesh-eating zombie video is the same as my policy on porn video, i.e., Why watch, when I can do?

Naw, that was for Bluetoe. My response button doesn’t always do what it should and I don’t always catch it.

Boxturtle (You can do?!? Got a recipe for long pig? :-) )

I’ve got a cookbook. “To Serve Man.” LOL

If you and your family are not active politically working for change socially and politically in these U.S. and the larger world- you aren’t paying attention! The NPR corporation knows that and is desperately serving their partisan stooge board members and corporate money lenders. Bull about neutral information for the people.

BTW I always thought those men on The News Hour who took/take pride in not voting were selfish and, yes, unpatriotic.

I didn’t interpret that as aimed at anyone, StonyPillow, and I pretty much agree with you. But I agree with Margaret, too, that the airwaves are filled with liars and bigots. I’ve pretty much given up on TV, except the occasional PBS special. If I want to watch something it’s usually online later and I can usually avoid the commercials.
