Who turns off msnbc when they cover Limpballs, Psycho Sarah and Blubbery Beck?
I don't watch msnbc to hear those idiots, and end up turning off Chris, Ed, Keith and Rachel a lot these days.

Do you listen to that stuff or turn it off?

1. Don't have to turn off what I never turn on in the first place. TV causes brain rot. nt

2. Turn it off
I can't stand them, and can't even watch when they're being called out on their crap or made fun of.

3. I never watch republicans - I have heard it all for decades, and it only gets dumber
Edited on Fri May-07-10 04:51 PM by old mark
with repetition. Why should I waste my time watching and listening to people I hate...in my own home?

4. It depends -- Keith and Rachel often make good points.
But I can't stand Keith's "impressions," often turn those off.

And I don't watch Ed or Tweety.

5. I stopped watching them all because they promote the shows of those idiots
Why MSNBC keeps making those fools relevant is beyond any comprehension. The give them free advertising. But maybe that's the deal they all made with one another.

7. I definitely turn off Ed and frequently I turn off Chris. Rachel is an addiction
for me so if she's on she stays on. She's just so damned smart.

8. I've more or less stopped watching KO because of that.
I refuse to give these idiots any more of my time, and the constant coverage, I'm afraid, doesn't do anything but to validate their existences. Check that: It doesn't even do that, because the people who warch Maddow, KO, and MSNBC after 6 p.m. already know about the stupidity, and those who DO need to be so enlightened are watching Fox and O'Reilly. I sometimes watch KO to see how long it takes him to work Palin, Beck, or Limbaugh into whatever he's covering. If, though, in the opening montage any one of the three are featured, I start to channel surf. The last straw for me last week was when Keith spent more time yammering about Palin's "drill, baby, drill" bullshit when the main story was the Gulf, and how it's being fatally polluted. I don't give a good damn what Palin has said, is saying, or will say on the subject.

I really wish they would stop feeding the crazy beast, and I wish KO would take on more substantive subjects and guests like Maddow does, instead of having the same bunch of yes-men (Kos, Fineman, Wolfe, etc.) on ad nauseam.

9. Turn it off - especially when the name Palin is mentioned
The media created her. She is a nobody except for the media's constant droning about the boring, incompetent idiot.

10. I do! I always wonder if they have tracking devices that show listener
volume -- like those little graphs that ebb and flow when people tune in or tune out. I did it so often with Morning Joe I finally figured why bother to tune in at all, so I don't.

I'm probably nuts, but you never know! lol

:rofl:

12. I never miss Rachel
She is terrific. I stopped watching Keith's show completely when Lawrence O'Donnell was hosting. It was like a gossip show.
These days, I turn off Keith as soon as he starts up about Palin or anyone on FOX. I always turn off party-line Republicans wherever they are interviewed. I can't listen to them at all. Their stupidity is toxic.

13. Yes, and I have to avoid DU on Palin-frenzy days.
I really just don't give a flying fuck about that woman and I don't want updates on her day to day goofy utterances and other activities.

The left wing media and blogosphere seem to function like a PAlin PR machine some days.

14. I would never turn Rachel off!
If she's got something to say, I'm willing to listen.
