On behalf of moderates, liberals and progressives across our land, I can say, without hesitation or reservation, we should love to have Ms. O’Donnell voice the rightist perspective and make the conservative argument.

well king, you can speak for libs but not moderates

On behalf of moderates, liberals and progressives across our land,

King, since you’re on the extreme far left, how are you speaking on moderates’ behalf?

I’m a social liberal but an economic conservative, so I think that qualifies me as a moderate.

Suggestions : O’Donnell / Grayson show . Or O’Donnell / Greene ( Jim DeMint started the recession – his main argument on all topics ) .

lol ,king you really believe yourself a moderate

MSNBC could then say we have cornered the market on nutcase hosts.

I believe in many things. That for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows …. That a good steak should never be served with mashed potatoes …. That Christmas trees should never be put up until Christmas Eve …. That I am a political moderate …. Now, my mother, of fond memory, my wife, my sisters, my aunts, political liberals, each and all ….

You’re overlooking Beckerhead and assuming that Angle is not going to get her own show.

okay…so, what’s everyone’s definition of a moderate? I consider myself a moderate because I have ideals that fall under both the liberal and conservative sides….though, I took one of those web based surveys to determine what my political affiliation would be…it told me I was a left-leaning libertarian. Who knew?

I personally would love to watch her in such a format on MSNBC. I think she’s informed enough and she’s quite swift on her feet that she wouldn’t be viewed as a lame duck like Colmbs used to be with Hannity.

The right co-anchor could enhance those qualities. The problem is, established liberal personalities like Ed Schultz already have their own shows, and an abrasiveness that wouldn’t mesh well with O’Donnell. A notable exception, though, is recent MSNBC bench acquisition Cenk Uygur.

I Vote for Cenk Uygur.What a fun show lolol

run christine! run far away from that train wreck, msnbc!

O’Donnell: Not gonna happen.

Tommy: Thanks for pointing out the absurdity of CNN hiring Parker to represent the conservative side. This is the type of thing that makes conservatives hate the MSM. To the MSM, Parker IS conservative. They do this all the time. It’s frustrating.

What are you talking about? The Real Royal Pain in the Ass just wants a program he can NOT watch and criticize it with his childish glibness.

Tommy, the only network O’Donnell is suitable for is comedy central. Since she is already the laughing stock of the left, she may as well play that up. It’s not like the people of DE are ever going to fall for her 16th Century ideas.

Tommy, I know it’s good for Mediaite’s business, but we really can’t afford another totally uninformed, utterly ignorant, always self-aggrandizing shill for corporations hosting yet another cable news program. Seriously,dude!

LOL

Why would anyone hire her when she couldn’t even
graduate from Hogwarts though the fox should consider it,
rumor has it she was in gretchen carlsons sorority there

I actually overlap with libertarianism, although not completely, and I generally find Libertarians flaky, undisciplined and somewhat mean-spirited.

King, the only ones you overlap with are Stalin and Chairman Mao. Well, and maybe Bill Ayers.

So, we had a non-story about FNC not hiring Christine.

Now we have a non-story about MSNBC hiring Christine, since we all know MSNBC doesn’t employ conservatives.

I’m surprised there isn’t a story about how CNN should hire her. That would have been a much smarter move than hiring the con and the faux con.

But hey…

Tommy wrote, “creating a spot for Christine O’Donnell would offer the network a rare opportunity to cut into Fox News’ audience.”

That’s the most naive thing I’ve seen you write Tommy. Fox’s audience has been brainwashed, make that programmed, make that thoroughly convinced that MSNBC is a far left network either in bed with the President or out to destroy the country. The only thing that’s going to cut into FoxPAC’s audience is demographics. They’re dying off while young people are more progressive.

She could do infomercials selling Shamwow…or more likely: wow, sham.

It doesn’t take brainwashing to convince people MSNBC is far left. Not even a light rinse. It’s obvious to all except those on the extreme left. Who have no brains to wash.

This is an interesting idea. I’d check it out.

Um, we KNOW MSNBC prime time is liberal. But Scarborough owns the morning with Mika the Mental Midget. And Ratigan is considered center-right, in the Ron Paul mold. Plus, and here’s the really big deal, they don’t LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH ALL DAY EVERY DAY like Fox. Fox is a network of liars. Oh, AND they’re right wing. MSNBC is a network that employs actual journalism, and it’s left wing starting with Schultz, ending with O’Donnell. It doesn’t take much more than a third grade education to figure that out.

I have to agree. There is no chance on God’s green Earth that MSNBC will take audience from Fox. Fox viewers will not have their simplistic worldview challenged by facts of any kind, in any venue, least of all the “Stalinists” at MSNBC. It’s a nice thought for all of two seconds… and then reality kicks in (or, to a Fox viewer – fantasy). ;-)

And since I’m conservative, I’ll say the same thing about MSNBC, Paul. They do nothing but lie, and they’re biased as hell. Depends on which side your looking at it. You’ve got your bad guy, we’ve got ours.

Bias, yes. Lies, no. The facts are ALL on my side on this one. But since you only get your news from conservative reactionaries, you wouldn’t know that. One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist? Is that really the moral equivalency you want to go with? Seriously, dude. Get a grip. Lies, and the lying liars that tell them have a home on Fox. Straight up.

come on paul, lies come from msnbc too.

Could you point out some these ‘lies’, Paul? O’Reilly, Beck, and Hannity have opinion shows. They’re not doing news broadcasts. But since you disagree with the opinions, they must be lying. You say MSNBC tells the ‘truth’ because you agree with their far left bias. Why can’t you just admit it?

“C’mon” is not an adequate argument. Want proof? Here:

- http://foxnewsboycott.com/tag/lies/

and paul you can go to newsbusters and see the same shit from the other side, come on both misrepresent and lie

OK, go to PolitFact and look up your Fox heroes, then look up Rachel Maddow.

- http://www.politifact.com/

Rachel has made a total of two incorrect references to outside material – Fox is full of liars, as you can see if you bother to look.

Partisans will say anything all the time. MY partisans say things based on truth. YOUR partisans lie. That’s it. That’s all there is. It doesn’t get any clearer than that. You like lies and fantasies, stick with Fox and the GOP. You want truth and reality, warts and all, come to MSNBC, where they even fact-check the Democrats! What a concept! The only two guys with guts on Fox are Shep and Wallace. And both of them will only go so far before letting the conservative off the hook. So, go ahead and believe in your fantasies. Eventually, journalism will start to correct itself and then this little circus you’ve been enjoying so thoroughly will go away forever.

Keith Olbermann has said he never mentioned Governor Christie on the air. Here are some times he did. Lie much, Keith?

* Apr 20, 2010: The bronze [WPiTW] goes to Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey.
* Apr 23, 2010: Christie’s staff is taking home 440,000 dollars more.

Cenk Uygur is a prick, can’t stand that guy

and only your point of view will prevail right paul

“A man at a pro-health care reform rally…wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip….there are questions about whether this has racial overtones….white people showing up with guns.”

Surprise! The camera pans back to show a black guy carrying the gun. Lie much, MSNBC?

Yeah, that makes “death panels” seem reasonable by comparison! Who cares if he “mentioned” Christie? Did he tell a lie ABOUT Christie? No. Done.

Don’t hire idiots into media and pay them good money for idiotic rants. Fox news produces enough of those.

Hire Feingold. Hire Grayson. Hire people that induce rage among the right-wing with resorting to mindless rants.

But Paul, Olbermann said he never mentioned Christie. Wasn’t that a lie? And wasn’t it lying when they showed that video of the gun and talked about whites carrying guns when it was a black person carrying it? But that’s right. MSNBC is on your ‘side’, so their lies don’t count.

It might be, but probably just an oversight, becasue it doesn’t fucking matter whether he mentioned him or not. KO’s “Chirstie mentions” have zero to do with policy. Pushing the notion of “death panels” is FAR more egregious. Again, they make mistakes, but they don’t deliberately lie like Fox. Nobody does.

Well, no comment about Tommy’s sex life, but I have to agree, “sex appeal” is a phrase that NEVER popped into my head when watching O’Donnell. LOL

ok paul, msnbc mistakes, fox lies, good point lol

yeah msnbc cropped the picture, yeah mistake, not lie, lol

Unfortunately I don’t think she’s smart enough on the issues to provide decent conservative commentary. MAybe she’ll prove me wrong. I’m sure she can translate her celebrity status into some money making.

Actually, that may not be a bad move for MSNBC. They have NO conservative voice in prime time and their ratings suck. People would watch at first because they would expect a blood bath any time she engages the brain trust on the left.

Then when, much to their chagrin, they find out she’s not nearly as stupid as the media painted her and that she can hold her own they just might keep watching. She’s charming and easy on the eyes.

Worth a shot because as the young people say these days, they ain’t hittin’ on shit right now.

Yes. She is very likable and a bit daffy and paired with someone like Bill Maher it would be fantastic.

As I look closer at the clip, it becomes clear it was a b-roll issue. I agree it was terribly sloppy – control room sees discussion of guns at rallies, rolls current clip of “guns at rallies” b-roll over discussion. It’s also clear they were talking more generally, though, if the b-roll had shown the full shot of the black dude, it would certainly have behooved them to mention that exception in their discussion. But Contessa doesn’t pick the b-roll, so with only the tight shot, she might not have even known. And given the level of incitement going on around the country, the discussion itself wasn’t off-base at all. Meanwhile, just for one example, Fox keeps pounding on “Obama the Muslim” (when they’re not pounding on his “deep, dark associations with Rev. Wright”)…

Paul, you had me going for a minute. But when you said that Fox lies, while MSNBC merely makes ‘mistakes’, I knew you had to be kidding.

OK, you’re right. Joe Scarborough is on that channel after all. And have you seen CNBC? Hoo boy! Yeah, those lefties are nasty, eh? ;-)

I suggested on another thread a week or so ago that Ms. O’Donnell consider finding herself a Danny Bonaduce and hitching her wagon to it, as a gateway into syndicated morning radio.

Another possibility that would pay-off for her in the long run would be religious broadcasting.

Robert Schuller Jr., the estranged son of the Crystal Cathedral’s founder and his son-in-law have been acquiring distressed religious networks and folding them into a company (ComStar) that currently reaches 50m households. They have plans to relaunch their properties under one network banner sometime this year and to better synergize their television and radio properties with the son-in-law’s, Chris Wyatt’s, GodTube and Communities.com.

Perhaps if she is looking for a star vehicle, I don’t know how her beliefs jibe with the younger Rev. Schuller’s, but they could probably use a name to bring a splash to their rebranding and Ms. O’Donnell could use their network’s reach to keep in touch with her national following.

Of course it’s just an idea, but I don’t really see her having the depth of knowledge or intellectual curiosity to host or co-host a headline-based show, but she could do it occasionally and an Oprah-like thing on the ComStar network could easily fit the bill. One day she could do “Keeping Your Kid from Witchcraft”, the next day she could do a show on “Cooking with God” and say on random Fridays, she could interview Sarah Palin or a Congressperson with similar political or religious beliefs and let it replay through the weekend and be made embeddable through GodTube.com.

BTW: As a disclaimer, I should note that I haven’t been actively following the ComStar story, so if they’ve already relaunched and rebranded, I hope they forgive my ignorance, but I still think O’Donnell would be a good get.

so paul these clowns that do the news on msnbc dont know what the film shows, but they have discussion on it. got it

OK – Now a correction…

I see that Wyatt sold GodTube and in fact, the DallasNews article that I linked only referred to him as a founder, so he may have done it long before he started acquiring television stations with his father-in-law.

cjd ohio 1 said:

You really have no idea what you’re talking about in the slightest. And you still make no arguments that actually contain any facts whenever you talk to me. Don’t see what you have to gain by tilting at this windmill.

Magister, religious broadcasting is SO her next gig if Fox doesn’t bite. Good call.

@Paul: It’s a wide open field in desperate need of a “star”, especially one that could appeal to the under-50 demo. So yeah, it’s the subject with which she cut her teeth and with this new network on the horizon, if I were her people, I’d be making a call.

As I suggested in my previous comment, there’s an Oprah-like concept and I’ll add that back in the day, the most popular show on the PTL network was Jim & Tammy doing a religious Regis & Kathy Lee.

Magister, there’s also the new “Right Network,” the Kelsey Grammar thing that looks an awful lot like an artist’s rendering of a George Orwell novel. She would be a perfect fit in several places with her hyper-religiosity and media chops. The real question is, can she follow a script? We know how she sings her tune. Can she sing another person’s tune with the same charisma? We’ll see.

If it were presented as a kind of parody, maybe, but I don’t think she’s interesting enough to anchor a show.

@Paul: I wasn’t familiar with the “Right Network“, so thanks for the pointer.

From just a quick glance, it doesn’t look like it has much coverage, so she’d be trading instant success for having to help build something. Though it does seem well positioned to take advantage of new media and maybe its current stars like Dennis Prager and Armstrong Williams can draw the traffic without Christine needing to do too much promotion. (She’ll likely want to limit interviews for a while)

Another thing, though this has nothing to do with Ms. O’Donnell, but their blogroll (“Friends”) appears to have a couple of car blogs listed, including Gawker’s Jalopnik.

paul, 1. fact msnbc cropped the picture. 2.fact the discussion was about white racist might use violence against the president. 3 fact. the picture was a black man with the ar-15. you said just a mistake not a lie. got it

I don’t care one way or another about this dimbulb’s views, but I really wish you’d all stop perpetuating all this stupid nonsense about Wiccan, a serious and growing religion: http://www.repmanblog.com/repman/2010/11/wiccans-not-making-brew-ha-ha-over-christine-odonnell.html#comments

I can see it now Christeen O’Donnell on the right and Alvin Green on the left, that should draw some of the smarter Fox viewers to MSNBC.
