msnbc=reporting the truth and facts……………lol

So basically Fox Nation took comments by Phil Jackson out of context and added an inflammatory headline to make a point about the phony “War on Christmas” in order to echo other Fox News coverage about the phony “War on Christmas,” am I right?

How is Cenk wrong here, exactly? Fox Nation did exactly what he says they did. They wrote the headline.

out of context , inflammatory headline, fox news did not complain about the nba, it was phil jackson, read the article

There is such a double standard at MSNBC when one compares their coverage of Christians versus Muslims. If extremists sharing your religion send out suicide bombers and fly planes into buildings, you get treated with back-bending deference and obsequious respect, but if you want a Christmas tree or a Christmas party, you are subject to ridicule and insults. Here the MSNBC make up a story in order to put down Christmas (and, of course — always the obsession at MSNBC — Fox News).

More proof that MSNBC isn’t baised against Republicans. It just acts like FOX’s arch nemesis..

So what – Fox News lies every hour about something.

This is so dumb! News Corp owns Fox Nation, which selected the content and wrote the headline declaring this story’s subject to be the “War on Christmas.” Cenk is right. News Corp’s property, Fox Nation, decided that Phil Jackson’s comments were worthy of excerpting and featuring on their website under a headline about the so-called (and ridiculous and much-parodied FNC-driven storyline) “War on Christmas.” It is completely worthy of Cenk’s ridicule for them to do that.

In other words, the Phil Jackson comments are completely unrelated to Fox News and News Corp, aside from the fact that a media outlet affiliated with Fox News and belonging to News Corp highlighted them under an inflammatory headline that fits in with recent storylines featured on Fox News. It’s like arguing that Karl Rove’s comments are completely unrelated to Fox News, aside from the fact that they pay him to deliver them on the air during their programs.

out of context, did you read the article, and yes fox wrote the headline

I am beginning to reconsider my view that the media is biased… and starting to consider the problem is a bunch of people who are simply really bad at thier jobs…

cenk was reaching for shit, just admit it

That dirty ol’ pos idiot sink ugar is right out of the goofy and always wrong playbook PMSnbc has for all of the idiot talking heads on PMSnbc’s payroll. Nothing surprises me when it comes to lowlife PMSnbc. The good news is NOBODY watches PMSnbc.

Phil Jackson never said anything about a “War on Christmas”. He just said he didn’t think it was good to play on Christmas because he wants to focus spending more time with his family and kids rather than so entrenched with an important game. Frances clearly missed the point here… she should know that Fox Nation is known for its ridiculously misleading headlines.

Phil Jackson NEVER said it was a “War on Christmas”… it doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out. But, to inflame the anger of its viewers and readers, Fox Nation decides to make it seem as if there is a “War on Christmas” in the NBA when it never existed.

ummm actually they’re related… even read the article? btw, if you watch the video you’lll see a bunch of the commentators use the exact words “war on Christmas” WITHIN THAT CONTEXT. Is this some joke article?

the quote from jackson is “its like christian holidays don’t mean anything to them anymore” fox wrote the headline on that quote

Once a cenk-off, always a cenk-off.

Mr. Martel, in your quest to proportionally share blames, you are intentionally being gullible, or acting as one. Are you saying that fix nation didn’t choose that headline to catch fix new’s cliche? This is exactly what people referred to as false inequivalency or false balancing . You were just wide-eyed to find something negative to counterbalance your reporting about the fix news for the week.

Where does that interpret that the NBA has a “War” on Christmas?

IMO Cenk is right, and this is similar to the Cavuto story.

You don’t get to call someone fat even though it is just an introduction to a guest who thinks he is and you don’t get to label someone’s comments as a war on Christmas even though you are using a question mark.

As such you are editorializing yourself and deserve to be called out for it.
As for the “Fox morning team has little if anything to do with Fox Nation” then they should stop pimping it on their show.

it fits their narrative, just like every news organization does

And tell Jackson. and his millionaire players to stfu and work the holidays. That’s why they are in the big leagues and get paid so much.

Don’t mention that to the poor scrubs working for minimum wage at the movie theaters and 7-11s on holidays.

You didn’t read the article or watch the video.

What you’re doing is a more blatant offense than what this Frances Martel is accusing Cenk Uygur of doing. You saw a headline and thought it was a great opportunity to spout your idiotic rhetoric.

As far as the Ed Show piece goes, it is obvious Fox Nation is using a quote from a NBA couch to push their agenda of “Fox War On Christmas.” I can only imagine this became an attractive tidbit for Mediaite is because the piece used by Fox was an article from Mediaites sister sports webpage.

The basis of your rant is non existent.

This Christmas, join us at the Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic. Our Motto is “We don’t know and we don’t care”.

We have three articles of faith:

1. The existence of a Supreme Being is unknown and unknowable.
2. If there is a Supreme Being, then that being appears to act as if apathetic to events in our universe.
3. We are apathetic to the existence or nonexistence of a Supreme Being.

For further elaboration on these points see:

http://www.apatheticagnostic.org/ourchurch/faith.html

Cenk Uygur is the same host that said President Obama is more conservative then Ronald Reagan. When u deal with people like that its hard, very hard to take anything they say seriously…

I hope Cenk Uygur takes a prime spot on MSNBC. I’ve watched his show filling in on Msnbc and both myself and my fiance agree he has a very aggresive streak in him that will show if he gets his own show. Id venture to guess he would be the most combative host on TV and just image what type of ratings that would have…

@Just4thefax… your BS is getting really old, is it just that your brain can’t expand beyond the usual “Fact: blah, blah, blah…” crap that you post on here? I don’t get it… are you a twitter addict and you the fact thing to accomodate your 70 character maximum of twitter??? What a moron.

ANYWAYS… Dan Abrams is starting this as gossip and nothing more. I listened to the show on MSNBC through XM Radio, what this BS story says isn’t what happened. Sure, the quote of Phil Jackson’s interview was there… SO WERE NUMEROUS FAUX NEWS VIDEO CLIPS SAYING THE SAME IF NOT WORSE. Mr. Abrams, you’re proving why you were fired from a major news network: YOU PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR SOURCE MATERIAL… NOT THE ENTIRETY.

Like Megyn Kelly asking if Harry Reid is a Grinch? Or the one where they’re amazed at red and green being banned? Or the one about The Tulsa parade name being changed from Christmas to Holiday, a change that left Senator James Inhofe, a longtime parade participant, boycotting the event?

ZOMG, TEH HORROR OF TEH REPORTING OF TEH TERRIBLE STORIES!!!! NOT WORSE, WORSEREST!!

Why do you hate the baby Jesus, rjakjr?

If there’s a war on Christmas, Christmas started it and deserves what it gets !!

Come on, liberals. You’re out of touch with mainstream America and you’re constantly looking for ways to assuage your sense of inadequacy by being mean-spirited and immature.

Stop the incessant whining and the constant railing against those who are successful in this country. Your self-loathing knows no bounds.

God still loves you, and there’s still time to see the light. But you really need to take some “baby” steps first.

I should know. I used to be you. And then…I grew up. Merry Christmas.

Fact: typo Shouldn’t

This guy,the one with a name that looks like a bunch of random letters,reminds me a lot of Ed,brain dead look on his face as he tries to turn everything to pro left or anti right regardless of what it is or even if it’s actually real,correct or legitimate.Wonder if he explodes like Ed when he doesn’t get his way?

The real story here is about both MSNBC and FNC.More and more both channels seem to be allowing show hosts to do their own “research” and then go on the air and spew lies,anger,hate and inaccurate information with little or no consequence.they are free to pursue tangents that have no value to the viewers and change no minds or inform anyone of anything.Yet when they do these things nothing really happens to them.

Bottom line:If you watch these people you are a fool.The networks have left the responsibility of being correctly and properly informed on you.It’s up to you to find sources of information that are not spun,wrong or tilted to the point of absurdity.So change your channels to somewhere else.You’ll be better informed watching Sesame Street.

Cenk’s a youtube poster, Olbermann’s an ESPN sports ceenter highlight reel announcer. Good to point out the errors, but I think when you hire fools, you get what you get….

Sadly, while I’m no Maddow fan, at least she has the intellect to hope for some standards….

I mean seriously, I think the MSNBC is just so sad for the hallowed grounds of NBC news from the past/pressent. Browkaw, Ann Coury, Lester Holt, ….

The lunatic-left d-ctat socialists of the M(ore)S(ocialism)from N(itwit)B(iased-socialist)C(lowns) propaganda network NEVER let facts or reality affect what they broadcast.

This is getting bad. When did Mediaite’s mission turn into carrying the water of Fox News?

Seems like this search for “balance” is leading to some really hackish articles. I thought the post about Glenn Beck “proving” that 10% of Muslims are terrorists was bad, but ti’s just getting worse.

Silly possum! Try to read beyond the headline.

“I don’t think Obama is a hard right-winger. It’s just that the political establishment in this country has moved so far to the right (though not the public, according to polls on specific issues) that as a natural politician when he goes to appease them, he is solidly center-right on the spectrum.
And the political line has moved so far that if Reagan tried to run as a Republican now he would be the laughing stock of the party. “

I hope Cenk takes the time to comment on this story. I have pointed this out to him. I thought it was the best way to get to the bottom of this. Was is an honest mistake? Was it lazy journalism? Was it MSNBC’s war on Fox? Was it deceitful propaganda?

Does MSNBC EVER get anything right? Now that would be news !!!

Liberals ARE mainstream America.

Need a refresher?

2008 Election results:

Obama = 53% (66,882,230 votes)

McCain = 46% (58,343,671 votes)

Just because you watch Fox and live in Kentucky or where ever you live does not make you the “mainstream.”
