Morning Joe: Keep Those Liberal Facts Away From My Kids!

icon Download | play icon Download | play (h/t Bill W)

Nickelodeon channel has announced that they will air a special on love and sex geared for their tween audience in light of the news of Nickelodeon TV actress Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy at the age of 16. The show will reportedly be hosted by Linda Ellerbee, who has a series of news specials on Nickelodeon on events that kids that age will hear about but may not have the sophistication to understand the MSM reports on. I've watched several of these shows--the one about AIDS was wonderfully sensitive and not at all inappropriate in terms of the information given to children--and it's good to see Nickelodeon approaching this head on.

But Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough isn't having any of it. In his mind, Linda Ellerbee has a well-known "left of center" bias (she is an unapologetic liberal) and her show will no doubt endorse children having sex, as long as they wear condoms? WTF??? From what orifice did you pull out that programming note, Joe? Listen as the age of the hypothetical children gets younger and younger and the agenda becomes more and more ridiculous as David Shuster challenges Scarborough on his fear of giving children age-appropriate sex ed facts.

Scarborough: I'm not jumping on the ‘abstinence only' train. I'm just saying I don't want Linda Ellerbee, who has always had a pronounced left of center world view, getting on talking about...talking to 6, 7, 8, 9 year olds about sex. [..]

Schuster: Joe, why are you against sex education? I don't understand that.

Scarborough: I'm not. I'm against people going on and having a high-falutin' attitude. People like you, speaking in condescending tones to those of us that are raising children in the heartland, telling us that our 12 year old kids should be able to have sex, but they just need to have contraceptives.

High-falutin' attitude? Project much, Joe?

absorbent and porous and yellow is he!

The heartland? His show is either in New York or DC, and sitting here in southwest Louisiana, I can tell you that is certainly not the heartland.

the silicone chip inside his head,has slipped to overload.............it's election time.

frist?

Make that:

Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!

California is the Heartland...........they just don't want to admit it.

I wonder if he has even watched any of the programming he is railing against.

not even close.

(geez, Joe. No one is saying we want your 12-yr old kid to have sex. Hell, I have a 12-yr old, and I sure don't want her having sex)

Joe, there's a dead woman in your office.

man, these motherfuckers are so goddamn ignorant. btw stewart and colbert back on jan. 7, thank goodness.

Joe is mainly worthless but not horrible.

He reflects those who are repubs but who don't like shrub.

Keep in mind: Many who visit dem sites such as this hate shrub but do not warm to the dem candidates.

where's mika brezinski?

abarts @ 9:

Joe, there's a dead woman in your office.

ANOTHER ONE!!!!!.....sheee...yit........ooppss there goes another rubber tree.

oh she's right there. my bad.

Joe's a little testy, now that MSNBC has him in the Imus 'end of the road' spot. Get ready Shuster to fill in for good,tweety,tucker or joe.

Words like "heartland," "judeo-christian," and "homeland" make me sick.

I am so sick and tired of television personalities telling us what we're supposed to think and constantly labelling everything and everyone as left or right. Would it be so terrible if they just did some honest journalism every now and then, instead of spouting their opinions like they were some kind of freaking authority on every subject? Like Mark Twain once said, just because your voice is heard by millions doesn't mean that you are any wiser than when it could be heard at the end of the bar.

Message for Joe Scarborough: Why don't you try doing something with your life instead of serving up the same old plate of left-bashing rhetoric?

which intern's bizarre untimely passing would jesus report on, joe?

anyone taking bets on whether his daughter gets pregnant out of wedlock?

Scarborough talks a good game about values and he eschews "east coast elites" but he sure likes to party with them--hanging around Nantucket with the rest of the NBC goofballs. He makes me sick with his smug attitude that Conservatives are better than the rest of us.

Well Joe, this kid's mother wrote a book about raising her children and it is published by one of the most conservative publishing companies and she espouses all of the evangelical bull...t, yet her kid is preggers. Guess that "Astinence Only" thing just isn't working out is it Joe?

Watching "Morning Joe" is like watching a trainwreck in slow motion--I wonder how much longer that gig will be around? Scarborough is a sorry mess and a sanctimonious ass.

What an absolute tool. Just dirt stupid, disingenuous and mean. It can't be real, must be all an act. He CAN'T be that idiotic and still manage to put his own pants on and drive his car to the studio. sheesh.

Watching “Morning Joe” is like watching a trainwreck in slow motion

Wow, that is a perfect description of the show. Well said.

Why dont they get Alison Stewart, who sat in for Keith Oberman this week to replace Joe or at least to sit on Mikas side of the desk. Willy clearly sucks up to Joe now, which isnt surprising. But, dispite the fact that Mika can hold her own, I think the addition of a black lady that is extremely articulate like Alison Stewart would be a fabulous addition. And, I doubt they would pull these types of shenanigans with her around.

Typical con tactic, attack a strawman. Make up a position for your opponent and then attack that position.

Does it bother anyone else that Reich-wingers turn any story about sex into a discussion of prepubescent sex? Plus, if you allow young children to watch T.V, without doing your job and interpreting what they watch, you don't deserve the honorable title, "parent".

Joe's right. They already know how to have sex their twelve-year-olds, and don't need any high-fallutin' damn liberals like Linda Ellerbee telling them how to do it! In fact, they've been havin' sex with their twelve-year-olds long before there WAS any liberals, and they've been doing just fine; thank you very much!

Maybe the repugs could use a little sex education, then perhaps they could get it right! Does the name Larry Craig spring to mind?

msnbc needs to start opassing out pink slips.

You know, after watching that clip, I think if I were David Shuster, I'd be really tempted to say to Scarborough "No, I don't have a problem with that. But I do have a problem with you disrespecting me on national television", while at the same time I was jamming one of my size 13 shoes down his throat.

"Scarborough: I’m not. I’m against people going on and having a high-falutin’ attitude. People like you, speaking in condescending tones to those of us that are raising children in the heartland, telling us that our 12 year old kids should be able to have sex, but they just need to have contraceptives."

What a steaming load Joe-one stupid,intellectually lazy talking point after another.
Better your kids should grow up to become hypocritical sexually repressed deviants who vent their frustrations in public washrooms.You Schmuck.

Poor Joe -- he obviously believes that children will never have sex until some adult explains the birds and bees to them...

MSNBC needs to show more movies in the morning. Their arguments are unproductive, obviously abstinence only is not working.
We will have to wait to see what Linda Ellerbee has to offer, but it will be more than what Scarborough has to offer.

Another thing is that Joe always interupts Mika or Willy when they do their reports professionally and doesn't seem able to stand opposing viewpoints to his. He has that same smugness that Bush seems to have, a little self righteous smile that says, "I am right and no matter what you say you are wrong because you are liberal or democrat or both or I simply dont like you." Then out of his mouth comes some carefully crafted remarks born of years as a politician, yet his attitude belies his words.

I suppose he is okay as a voice and opinion to hear among others, but he seems so closed minded to things and takes opposing viewpoints almost personally and feels he needs to attack them and the people who say them. Kinda scarey, like any of the far right, and even far left.

I dont see why he should be the lead voice of a 3 hour morning show. He is nowhere near middle and seems to be mean hearted many times. Why can't we have a simple nice reporter instead of a huge ego on that morning show?

IT IS CALLED AN "OFF BUTTON". IT IS EASY TO USE.

are you saying Joe has an authoritarian type personality?.........................................................no...............say it ain't so.

Joe has a LYING personality...

Yeah, like Scarborough is a rep of the "heartland". (snicker)

By the way, I find it interesting that those states who are most "red" and "family values" oriented are the ones having the high incidents of teen pregnancy.

I Am Curious (Absorbent)?

abarts Says: Joe, there’s a dead woman in your office.

hahaha that's what I was going to mention. Joe S is a little prick with a short fuse -- when he gets all freaked out that's when someone should ask him about the dead intern (that he was banging) found in his office.

kids know more than their parents think and will do what they want regardless of who raises them...it'd be funny if Joe's daughter ended up pg as a teen

why exactly did he give up his job as a Congressman....besides the dead woman in his office....oh that's right.........................................he wouldn't have gotten re-elected......because of the dead woman in his office.....funny how finding a DEAD WOMAN in your office will do that to ya.

JeffS #16. Amen!! I am so sick of the words "homeland" and "heartland" that I could scream. These phrases were used by the Germans during WWII. Everytime I hear them I want to gag.

I read an article recently that Joe Scarborough hate's having to get up at 4:30 am in the morning for his show. Well MSNBC should give him a Christmas gift and fire him and hire someone who would love to get up and have that show. I would love to know who is "godfather" is because he is certainly not qualified for that job--someone at NBC/MSNBC is sure looking out for his ass. I saw on www.TVNEWSER. that his audience is down 34 percent. If his numbers keep sliding he will be back in Pensacola beachcombing.

O/T but I was at the gym tonight when Matthew's was on--that ass has no shame--he was pushing his silly book for last minute Christmas gifts, what an egomaniac. If I bought that book for anyone I know they would be insulted because he's another ass like his pal, Scarborough.

Also Tweety was apoplectic because the NYT printed in its paper this morning that the stories about Guiliani padding his bills to the Hamptons when he was seeing his mistress weren't true. Well, Tweety, it was the NYPost and the New York Daily News that published those stories. Matthews was all upset because his boy, Rudy's numbers dropped 10 percentage points and how is he going to get them back. Good, I'm glad Matthews is upset--Bloomberg's office said the investigation by the New York Daily News was ACCURATE and they are standing by the story as reported about Rudy and Judy's shennanigans.

Tweety disgusts me--he is repugnant. I'm glad John Stewart exposed him for the ass.... that he is.

Happy Festivus Swaswbuckler........have you read John Deans books.......I forget which one it is..but it deals with authoritarian personalities
(repugs in general)... it's a good read....

Why are we going backwards? Why is it damn near 2008 and we are still fighting the same ignorant battles as they were in the 1960s? I like the phrasing too - "high falutin'" - someone send this turd back to Mayberry.

Substitute O'Reilly for Scarborough and the message remains the same. It is almost as if Scarborough has stepped out of the movie Pleasantville, that dark era of the 1950s where even the mere mention of the word sex was forbidden and seemed to be enough to get a girl pregnant. In the movie, those who persisted in retaining the values of that era were viewed in the film in only black and white hues. I kept expecting the color on the TV set to abandon Scarborough at any moment.

Is that like "opossum?"

What I don't understand is .....why doesn't Mika plant both of her feet down his throat....when he goes all bipolar like that

did anyone see CNN yesterday...the story about I 35 through Texas.....those folks were and are nuts...

Nope, haven't read it. Have seen him on Countdown talking about it though. Don't really need a book to tell me that cons have authoritarian personalities. There's a plethora of examples all around us.

Schuster should have said:

You better act politely and drop the "heartland" act, or I'll tell Huckabee you were having necrophilia with that dead intern they found in your office.

abarts @ 9:

Joe, there's a dead woman in your office.

really? i just thought she was resting !or my name aint killer joe!

This segment on Scarborough's show is reminiscent of some of the lyrics from Les Mc Cann's 1969 classic Compared to What:

"Where's that bee and where's that honey
Where's my God and where's my money
Unreal values crass distortion
Unwed mothers need abortion"

I came to the conclusion that joe is a repub mole....

he acted liberal for a while and then he snapped back

Yeah, like teenage girls are going to be in rapt attention over what TOM BROKAW or some other "down the middle" broadcaster will have to say to them about unwanted pregnancies! Gimme a break, Joe.

that's putting it mildly.........very disturbing......it's one thing to pray....BUT THIS WAS NUTS!

Obama was supporting educating kids about sexual abuse. Basically to tell an adult if some hurts you, etc. Joe knows this and is a douche.

Hey. . . with the way this is going, maybe the mainstream media will be going the way of the Republicans. They can have each other. Maybe we are witnessing the rebirth of the fourth estate ! Very Cool !

mudshark, I'm almost afraid to ask about I-35, the main vein through my town. But do tell.

Heartland or no heartland, you still get a baby the same way no matter where you live and you protect against getting a baby the same way. I never new that being a publican works the same was as a birth control pill or a condum.
Joe Scarborough...what a maroon !!!!!!!

Ah fuck Joe. It's a typical smoke screen for the real issue. I guess those conservative, christian family values didn't work out. Unless the book had some tips about best lubricators for bare back action.

there you have it.....yep...their batshit crazy...

God, these same kids see MTV several channels up, their older siblings may be in the same boat as Spears, but Scarborough thinks it's ok to pretend kids don't have sex just because you close your eyes. Twenty five years ago, I went to private schools (abstinence-only) and HALF of the girls in my 8th grade had sex either full intercourse or a variety of "close, but no cigar" sexual activities. Parents had no clue, as I went on through high school, girls actually got their older sisters to "lose" their pills, so they could get extra prescriptions, and several girls could share a pack if they only had sex once a month. There is a code of silence and appropriate response behaviors around adults. You can think all you want it won't happen to you, but I know plenty of church-going girls ushered to the clinics in a panic because their parents wanted to save face.

I figure they were denied some kind of attention when they were young......no their overdoing it...to make up for all that lost time....

It's amusing to watch Mika's attitude toward Joe change from tolerance to exasperation to loathing. Have you seen some of the looks she gives him? Priceless.

Now their overdoing it.........................it's been a long day.......

yeah...and joes response is.....the look..WHAT????

Mika likes to tease with those long black boots...NILF

Joe is to the heartland what George W. Bush is to Mensa.

One morning this week she actually walked off the set on him ostensibly to go get a snack or ladies room.

What is shameful is how Willy seems to suck up to Joe more and more every day and side against Mika. She must feel she is in hell doing that show. I can only imagine what she tells her close friends about her work day.

Not only that but Joe makes frequest put downs and sexist remarks to the weather lady and the market report lady, both of whom are professional trying to do their job, yet he seems intent on interjecting himself to their jobs.

Joe Scarborough is a sanctimonious cretin...'People like you...'he.screeches,when its unhinged reactionary people like him who point fingers at people he doesnt like and expect everyone.to believe him as being right...No,anus eyes Joe,you're a.prick,plain and simple...so shove it.

[Edited-Sitemonitor]

Willy and Joe are two snickering fratboys.

Joe- Talk to your kid, early and often about many things,sex drugs and rock and roll, then if they see or hear something they will come ask you about it.

It is very clear what these right wing ass holes that replaced one bigot for this Mistress, murdering bastard that simply has no talent other then to humulate decent people.

There is a huge majority of American citizens that are just fed up with these right wing greedy slobs all over this media.

There is no excuse at all for FCC and Congress to allow six rich ass holes to own operate and control what everybody wants to see and here.

This is our dame money and just like what they are doing with our tax dollars, they are doing with everything else, including our media.

We are required to pay for all this shit, yet we have no voice or say in how our money is spent or what we want to watch and listen to in our media.

This is bull shit folks and we need to be rallying around in numbers so huge, it will blow the minds of all these bastards and let them know we mean business.

what fucking planet do these idiots live on?

hey joe and the ignorant slut you work with....ever think what is going on, on the computer in your kids bedroom? check out myspace, youtube, stickam, etc

these kids are having sex, and doing stuff that i wouldnt even have thought about when i was their age

Joe was making sense for a little while a month or two ago...I really think someone at MSNBC has the goods on the dead intern and is holding it over his head, reminding him of who he REALLY works for...

I drive to work every day on I-35... and I pray every day to ask God to deliver me from the HELL of driving on that CURS-ED road. Combat driving all the way, and it just keeps getting WORSE. THE DEVIL us definitely at work here.

An' I just wanted to say that it was very revealing to read (above) that Joe Scarborough was having NECRO-sex with that intern that died in his congressional office. I have always wondered what it was about him that made him such a favored young FACE among the Washington DC Republican Elites. Now I know.

In all my years of watching TV, and working in broadcasting, I have never seen a "host" treat a co-host as badly as Joe treats Mika B. My wife and I watch Morning Joe... and are taking bets on how long it will be before Mika pulls a small revolver out of her purse and shoots him dead on the set, live on the air.

Why are all of you saying stuff like "Mika should shoot him in the face for those comments!" or whatever? Did you watch the video, she COMPLETELY AGREED WITH JOE.

@ 80

My wife and I watch Morning Joe… and are taking bets on how long it will be before Mika pulls a small revolver out of her purse and shoots him dead on the set, live on the air.

Its pretty bad, I agree, but I wouldn't want Mika to go to jail. Surely they will boot him soon

"raising our kids in the heartland?" I thought Joe Lived in Florida

I try to keep my falutes below 18,500 ft. Once you get above 500 millibars, the air gets too thin for falutin'.
But that's just me. I'm a nut that way.

He acted like he had a lick of sense until he got this gig and now he is in direct competition with Limpbutt and O'Shitty.

David Shuster should have slugged this pretty boy closet case low brow

Karma is pretty powerful. Joe will get his, you can bet on it.

Joe loves pandering to the Flintstones. He doesn't care if teenagers get unwanted pregnancies or AIDS as long as he gets street cred from rapture bunnyists in Pensacola

Joe needs his medication adjusted.

Joe Scarborough wants to convince his viewers that Obama and liberals want young kids to be taught everything about sex. The usual strawman logic many Republicans use to rationalize their stance on many issues.

Joe Scarborough is an ignorant bumpkin. He thinks sex education for 12 year olds should reflect HIS CHILDHOOD. (don't think about what that was like)

The main criteria for discussing domestic policy by talk-show conservatives is to ATTACK whenever you hear the word liberal. Disdain, scorn, contempt, but never, ever, discuss the actual issue on it's merits. Just ATTACK.

Which is why they put him on at the hours least watched by viewers. (I can't wait till Tucker joins him!)

People like you, speaking in condescending tones to those of us that are raising children in the heartland, telling us that our 12 year old kids should be able to have sex, but they just need to have contraceptives.

It's not an issue of kids should be able Joe. Problem is kids are able as soon as puberty starts.

Sorry if that sounds condescending.

I've lived in Western Pa most of my life, and I've never understood this "heartland values" issue. In fact, I wouldn't know that Hollywood and the liberal media promoted values that differed from anything else if I hadn't read about conservatives lashing out against them.

Though it probably won't matter, Joe Scarborough won't be watched, listened to, or otherwise noticed by me... I don't care what he says or does - he's nothing to me - nothing, a zero

Hey Joe:

Find any dead women in your office lately?

Ole Joe doesn't want his kids to know what he was doing while he was screeching about President Clinton's personal life.

What a hypocrite! He claimed that he quit Congress to be with his family. His 'family' seem to be doing quite well without his ugly arse hanging around but then that's what they are used to. They are in Florida & he is in NY last I heard!

Poppa Joe has been doing his own sex education for many years. What puzzles me is why would any woman want to have sex with the squinty eyed weirdo.

I'm pretty sure that at 3:00-3:30 Joe shows his hand, that his whole act is a joke on the rubes. His invocation of "the heartland" is about as cynical as it gets.

Perhaps they would like this sort of childcare

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsGQ10kN_U8

Why does Joe Scarborough even have a show, he is so unprofessional and not very smart no wonder he was once a Republican congressman, learn how to be really average, politically correct, which translates to politically ignorant. We should have people who inspire, to whom we can aspire to , look up to on television, not average Joes, I've got average Joes all around me at work I don't need them on my television too!

If we don't talk about sex, it won't happen, right Joe? Kind of reminds me of my one cat that is afraid of strangers. When someone comes into our house, this cat hides under the blankets in my bed thinking that no one will know he's there. The problem with this is the lump under the covers is a dead giveaway just like teenage hormones are a prompting factor in having sex. Without these hormones, we would have died off long ago as a species.

Swashbuckler @ 36:

Joe has a LYING personality...

He has a personality?
Hell, he looks and sounds like a repugnanttician.
Next thing you will see him run for congress or resident(no P intended). He is THAT disgusting.

Hey Joe, did you find Lori's killer yet?

yep old man scar out there in the heartland raisin up his children on the good clean earth. up early to milk the cows then bible study then back to work on the farm.

joe, joe, joe.

And I object to phony rednecks like Scarborough deciding what I should be able to hear, read or see or allow my kids to hear, read or see based on what will jack up his ratings among real rednecks. He and Lou Dobbs need to get honest and stop pandering just to wind up those who are too busy to think for themselves.

Joe - I assume your TV has an off button. There are at least 150 channels available on Direct TV. If you can't find one that's not suitable for your kids - turn off your set.

…it’d be funny if Joe’s daughter ended up pg as a teen
----------------------------------
neo con mom's of their pregnant teens take the young lady to her gynocologist and get her a little 'treatment'.

therefore it never happened--ta da!

I wonder if Joe has watched the show. He seems to know what the message will be. Or could it be that he is just reacting like a right wing wingnut? hmmm..
Heartland? He's an east coast elitist that "lives" in Florida.
If he is so concerned about his children why doesn't he go back to the heartland and be a real father. A dad. Not just a weekend papa. Then maybe David Shuster can take his place.

Its all about what Holy Joe wants.

Bush didn't die yet and make him king. If Joe believed in all the Rhetoric he proclaims he would still be in cingress doing the right thing . There again he only represented big business and wealthy donors. Maybe a few repubs in his district but you think he gave any consideration to other opposing political views of people in his district.

Joe acts and sounds like that because he was elected by a preceived political group that he doesn't have to represent and consider those who did not vote for him.

His dismissive rhetoric on his show as displayed in this clip is evidence of his dislike for fellow Americans. This is that dividing aura that eminates off Bush, Delay, Newt. And now off the self rightious religious neo right. You will pray to Jesus (my jesus) in public school. It has never been about allowing a religious person their space to pray.

Why doesn't Joe get Karl Rove on his show as a Co Host. It would make it funnier in a pathetic sort of way. Think of the conservatives viewers he could draw and encourage his narrow world views with.

What is this "Us in the heartland, shit?"

You live in Pensacola Florida, and do a TV show in NYC, Joe. Gimme a fucking break.

Nobody wants kids having sex, for obvious reasons, but the conservative view is just nutty about the subject. It is very apparent there view is just "don't do it" and their approach is not to tell children almost anything about the subject. If you want to throw away money just do abstinence only education, it's about as good as taking a pile of money and burning it.

Obviously, Scarborough's kids were artificially inseminated.

How do you explain that to kids?

I mean, how do you even start a conversation about a dickless Dad?

Scarborough: I’m not jumping on the ‘abstinence only’ train. I’m just saying I don’t want Linda Ellerbee, who has always had a pronounced left of center world view, getting on talking about…talking to 6, 7, 8, 9 year olds about sex. [..]

Linda Ellerbee: And that's the way it is...

I think Linda Ellerbee is great & David Shuster is cool & Joe S. is a condescending creep.

The Mighty Joe Show is still on TV in the morning? Will wonders never cease?

I saw a Highway 666 on,(Natural Born Killers).Those people should try a little prying on that Highway.

I think K-Fed is already filling Joe's daughter,with his seed.

chris matthews thinks that Joe's show is great and told him a couple of days ago to keep up the good work and that he was really, really, doing a fabulous job. Imagine that!! From one genuine asshole to another. I really, really can't stand it anymore. I'm only watching them , I think,to see who makes the first biggy mistake that puts them off the air, permantly, forever and ever. and ever!!!

wes @ 2:

The heartland? His show is either in New York or DC, and sitting here in southwest Louisiana, I can tell you that is certainly not the heartland.

Another SWLA man? Wonderful! I'm from Lake Charles!

I wish somebody would Bush Slap both Joe and Willie Geist. Damn I can't stand those guys.

Taking a step back. I think its something to consider in that MSNBC has decided they can make more money or get more viewership chipping away at OReily by having conservative newscasters. I dont think things happen by accident. Oreilly has about 500 viewers to olbermans 250 to C Mathews 130, in thousands market share on average per show. I think its clear that MSNBC is in a war to steal Fox network market share and maybe they view the way to do that is via Conservative low brow stuff. Is that possible? For a time I think many of us felt that since Keith Olberman had his home there and Imus, that they were fairly open minded. But, seems perhaps dollars say it all? I doubt Joe would behave the way he does if he didnt have some cover. Its true he isnt very smart, and isnt capable of original thought very often, but he is a footsoldier. Had it not been for that lady who died in his office mysteriously and nobody was able to figure out why back a few years ago on capital hill, he would still be a congressman, isnt that right? So, maybe MSNBC executives decided that the KO technique of going heads up against Fox was not the entire formula for gaining or stealing their market share and decided instead to actually get some commentators that would play that game. Just an idea.

Maybe Joe is less the blame than MSNBC greed.

Based on this alone, "I’m against people going on and having a high-falutin’ attitude. People like you, speaking in condescending tones to those of us that are raising children in the heartland, telling us....."

He must fucking HATE republicans. After all, that IS what they do.....

Just when I think NBC couldn't possibly make itself look any more idiotic or sleezy, they sink to new depths.

With the stable of idiots and scumbags they have, even Olberman and staff can't put lipstick of this clownact of a pig network.

Zero credibility. None at all.
