RNC should cancel NBC-sponsored debate (WFFOT)
October 4th, 2007 at 11:35 pm . by nukeIt’s time to stop pretending that Republicans get a fair shot from NBC and MSNBC.
They haven’t been given one in the past.
There’s no reason to believe they will be given one in next week’s debate in Dearborn, Michigan, either.
Here is just the most recent example:
Raw partisanship from Chris Matthews was in full display at his 10th anniversary shindig for his signature show, “Hardball.”
Chris Matthews had barely finished praising his colleagues at the 10th anniversary party for his “Hardball” show Thursday night in Washington, D.C. when his remarks turned political and pointed, even suggesting that the Bush administration had “finally been caught in their criminality.” source
After years of breathless reporting on such non-stories as “The Downing Street Memos,” Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame, championing the Democrat cause at each and every opportunity, Matthews’ latest rant rivals the disgusting Keith Olberman for shear hatred and vitriol.
Matthews continued, “They’ve finally been caught in their criminality.” He did not specify the exact criminal behavior to which he referred, which is another trademark of the so-called “objective journalist.”
The Republican Party should stop elevating these merchants of political hatred by giving them platforms of respectability under the thinly veiled guise of “objective journalism.” They are neither objective, nor journalists. Until NBC steps up to demand that its news division stop practicing partisan politics, Republican candidates are under no obligation to help them with their ratings, or to bolster their credibility.
Nor are Republicans under any obligation to buy the products of the commercial sponsors of the news division.
To the Republican National Committee: Cancel this debate.
Update:
This is the late, late Thursday nite, but close enough to Friday to be the World Famous Friday Open Thread.
Threads should be seen and not heard. See the thread.
Have a good weekend y’all.

Well, I don’t watch them OR know who their advertisers are.
I actually did not know that today was Friday and have the grandsons tomorrow. Daughter had told me that my role is to buy Halloween costumes for the little darlins. BUY a Halloween costume? Say what? Nope, she needs to make the costumes in order to fully experience the joy of small children and Halloween.

Yikes! That’s some scary stuff there, Robert D. I think she’s cackling “and your little dog, too!”
I just got back from a toy buying and ice cream eating expedition with the grandkids. This second childhood gig is sweet.
Swampie goes gigging!
I believe you’re right Swamps. Wicked Witch of the East. Glad the babysitting thing is working out for you.

Think I’ll just sweep up a bit in here and lock the doors on my way out.
This was in the corner over there.
This one was under the chair.
And this was behind the bar.
G’nite all…….

Thanks bud, I knew you’d be there for me.
Do you feel that? I’s getting colder by the minuet. I do believe Hell has frozen over.
Sharpton Demands Apology From Thomas
Holy crap! I just read that and had to pick myself up off the floor after I fell over.
Oh BS!
A videotaped deposition is evidence, and the people that tape them have to have certification as a court stenographer. They are not going to splice and dice an official piece of evidence, and if they had, why hadn’t his attorney objected to it during the trial, and had it investigated.
Pathetic!
I used to think Thomas was a class act, but he’s just pathetic. He got caught with his hands in her bloomers, and is trying to weasel his way out.
That was a nice bunch of articles you swept up when you were closing the place last night, Robert D.
N2l, now you know that this trial was held in the racist south, and that a black man cannot get a fair trial there and so of course his statements were doctored……
/Or maybe not.
Yeah, Swampie, that court room in New York is deep in the heart of the Jim Crow South.
Thanks Swamps.
Got stuff I gotta get done…see y’all later on.
I should have been long out the door myself but SwampMan was busy with getting ready for his week-long class (reservations, etc. ) in south Florida, so we haven’t left yet.
Must have been in SOUTHERN New York.
