First, I must admit my disappointment that Ferrari lost the Italian Gran Prix at Monza…..that German company won…..is there some way Hamilton can be penalized for not being as Italian?  Made my Labor Day just awful…I remain grumpy!

Now to work!

I have been writing for years that the media was nothing but a propaganda arm of the government as well as Wall Street….it is used to shape our views and opinions plus programming the population to accept whatever line is pushed……so far they have done a marvelous job….I point to FOX News as proof.

When I heard the news that MSNBC was firing anchors like Ed Schultz, Alex Wagner, Joy Reid, etc….I said then that the network was purging all progressive thought…..I warned that Sharpton was not safe nor was Diaz Balart…the only true left leaning voice that will remain will be Rachel Maddow only because she is adorable and her ratings are good for revenue……but keep in mind so was Obermann’s…….and we know what happened to him……

Since I wrote the piece awhile back more news has come to light…..Sharpton goes from a daily show to a Sunday show which should make his ratings tank then it can be justified in firing him….watch for Chris Hayes to get  makeover to toe the neocon line….then there is Harris-Perry….this one is a question mark in my mind.

I use to watch Morning Joe because it was a third way show….lots of independent talk….now it will expand to 4 hours and the mundane crap of Mika, a one dimensional character and the Neocon babble of Scarborough will get even more time to make us nauseous…..

If one wants real news I suggest you look for it on-line….because the best you will do for independent talk on cable will be CNN….and that alone is pathetic.

I am sure that someone will appreciate the switch for MSNBC (ComCast) but those would be people that let the tube do their thinking for them….me?  I would rather watch something called “Nazis vs Aliens”…it would be more newsworthy than anything MSNBC can offer.

If you enjoy news and if you watch MSNBC then I suggest that you invest in a case of “barf bags”……you will NEED them!
