I tuned in this morning for a split second to see what's going on over at the Sunday morning talk shows....I usually just stay the hell away from NBC, MSNBC on the weekend so I decided to check out Howard Klutz Reliable Source...five minutes into his show. At first I thought I was looking at MSNBC when I saw his panel: Ana-Marie Cox, Craig Crawford and Dan Frum...
But the one who caught me off guard was Craig Crawford whining about why he left MSNBC...His supposedly reason?...They made him feel "boxed in when responding" He claimed his last ten interviews was done thrashing Sara Palin! There's a hint of truth in... Since Comcast has became it new owner many people are getting turned off with MSNBC daytime news --
MSNBC daytime news has turned into something of a "instant coffee maker-machine" and most people would equate instant coffee with adjectives like "flat" "boring" and "no zeal"! But I'm quit sure MSNBC don't go around putting guns to pundits head and forcing them to speak. If Craig had a problem with what came out of his own mouth, then, he only has himself to blame. He should had done what Howard Fineman does....Be defiant in his opinion! Howard Fineman would let you know right off the bat... whether he agrees or disagrees with the "host" analogy, and then go on to explain why he differ or agrees! Craig Crawford makes it sound like it was MSNBC pulling strings to make words come out of his mouth...maybe Craig you should quit yourself!
BTW, CNN Howard Klutz is not the most reliable source when it comes to being objective. CNN has lost so much viewership that they very seldom used this phase anymore..."The most trusted name in news" I also noticed how Howie been tweaking Rachael in his segments lately, Could it be he's just mad because someone like Rachael Maddow came in and less than two years her rating has triple over someone like Howie who probably been in the business for what?...20 years?...I'm hoping if she stay close to Keith she could get a little more "tougher skin" and shoot people like Howie down when he tries exploiting her just to get his reader or viewership up!
Some at FOX knows not to even say Keith Olbermann name out loud...Because Keith beats them at their own game....When one throws you red meat...Throw it right back!
Criag Crawford your explanation for leaving MSNBC to me is weeeaaaakkkk! And why do this feel like deja vu' of the "clueless"....
Can anyone say? Dana Milbank (without laughing)
