MSNBC Keeps a Laser-Like Focus on Today's Big Story
— Ace

You will think what I'm about to post is a joke, or a p-shop.

It's not. It's real. What I'm posting is MSNBC's actual homepage today.

Remember: This is real.

This is happening.

JohnE. attempted to interest MSNBC in other stories. He was unsuccessful.

Walter Cronkite Award Winner for Excellence in Journalism Ronan Farrow covers today's biggest story -- the mostly-white make-up of Academy Awards voters.

Oh: MSNBC will cover the Ukrainian situation, but for only one reason: Obama's giving a statement on it at 4:45 pm, or, as the rest of us call it, 5:22 pm.

1 MSNBC is a parody of itself at this point.

2 Well, duh. Of course. And you know who hates Chris Christie? The Tea Party. So, ipso facto, MSNBC's right-wing bias is because the Tea Party controls it.

13 Looking at Google News, no mention in ANY of the headlines that there are Russian troops in the Ukraine, merely some vague mentions of 'gunmen'.

Has anyone ever studied why lefty media ALWAYS FAILS. I mean ALWAYS.

MSNBC is outed as a hard left partisan org. And thus it fails.

All left talk radio fails.

My analysis: there just aren't that many lefties. And liberals have their choice of many favorite and habitual news outlets that they are used to.

In contrast, there are simply gobs more conservatives who have to search for good programming and reward it loyally.

The dem vote is made up of at least 50% of the ghetto and lifetime welfare trash. Do you think they care about policy?? Do they care about the debt?? They don't care about themselves, what else would they care about??

Which is why outright lefty media fails. Some websites might thrive, but they can never take the next step...

58 Two months out and I'm STILL totally unclear on what this Christie scandal is even about. The Dems have a "seep strategy" of strangling every GOP candidacy in the preemie ward. First target: Christie. Now Scott Walker. And one by one they will throttle every GOPers, way back here in 2014, so that when 2016 rolls around, whoever gets the nomination, will be attacked with this old "proven" scandal. However, it's not as "deep" as they think it is, because all they're doing is winnowing out people like Christie whom we didn't want anyway. And the ones we do want, like Walker, will survive the strangulation. Because, in every case, the "scandal" is course totally ginned-up and fake.

Honestly, I tune into MSNBC at least once an evening to LMAO. And for the last month or whatever, Every.Single.Time I turn to it they're talking about Christie as if he's a hybrid of Hitler, Stalin, John Wayne Gacy, Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer.

I think we need to add up the airtime they've spent on this story and see by how much it exceeds the actual length of time the one f'ing lane was closed on the one f'ing bridge for one f'ing study.

Yup. You can bet they've got Rand Paul in the cross hairs too. They all see themselves as Frank Underwood? Barney Fife would be more accurate, but there is no denying that they have an effect. It doesn't work the other way because the Dems embrace degeneracy.

THAT is the main secret to beating the Media/Democrat complex, and Christie's tactics would win in a matchup. That the base has come to hate him does not even register with them. They recognize his methodology as being highly likely to win against them in an election contest. I more or less agree. If we had an actual conservative with Christie's ability to do battle, we would stomp the dog shit out of whoever they put up.

116 International Business Times breaks it down like this; In the Crimea, on the northern coast of the Black Sea, ethnic Russians account for 60 percent of the population, while the local ethnic Ukrainians and Tatars (who together form about 35 percent of Crimeans) have formed an alliance to resist any moves by the Crimean regional parliament toward placating Moscow and perhaps seceding from Ukraine. The Tatars, a Turkic people and predominantly Muslim (though primarily secular), once dominated the Crimean peninsula, but they are now a minority there, accounting for only about 12 percent of the population. So they have Crimea at about 60% ethnic Russian.

Two months out and I'm STILL totally unclear on what this Christie scandal is even about.

The Dems have a "deep strategy" of strangling every GOP candidacy in the preemie ward. First target: Christie. Now Scott Walker. And one by one they will throttle every GOPers, way back here in 2014, so that when 2016 rolls around, whoever gets the nomination, will be attacked with this old "proven" scandal.

However, it's not as "deep" as they think it is, because all they're doing is winnowing out people like Christie whom we didn't want anyway. And the ones we do want, like Walker, will survive the strangulation. Because, in every case, the "scandal" is course totally ginned-up and fake.

Not being from the Northeast, I am just not all that into Governor Christie. The man is a joke in the real world, and all he lacks is clown make-up. The image if him embracing the JEF is seared into my memory. There is also that nasty business of the special election in NJ that he engineered to make his numbers better in the general. If he runs for president, he should flame-out fast, if there is any justice in the world.

I think he & MSNBC would be a good fit, once his career is over. Peas and Carrots.

In fact, they acted like they had secret info that it wouldn't happen -- like maybe US intel was spying on Russia and our sigint said this wouldn't happen. Yet it did. Which implies that Russia knew how to avoid our sigint, and perhaps supply it with bad information. Why was America so confident and so wrong 24 hours ago? US was sure Putin was bluffing. Certain it was just bluster.

314 You think the United States is the only country allowed to act in their self interest? I can understand opposition to Russia based on a sense of good vs evil , but its beyond inconsistent to be troubled with a 'how dare they intervene ' mentality.

315 There are much more important things than this for me to focus on. For example, my intel sources at TMZ tell me yet another professional athlete will declare their gheyness over the weekend.

316 AFAIK, Ukraine hasn't contested that treaty at all.

I see this as little more than Russian paranoia.

Paranoia no, an opportunity yes Posted by: Nevergiveup

I doubt a reasonable reading of the treaty would be as permissive as you say, but I haven't read it so I won't dispute your characterization. I think it's much more likely that Putin is completely over-reading the treaty, and the words are being stretched and tortured like Moochelle's thong.

I can understand opposition to Russia based on a sense of good vs evil , but its beyond inconsistent to be troubled with a 'how dare they intervene ' mentality. Their 'self interest' as it regards their Black Sea port wasn't under any significant threat. Ethnic Russians weren't under threat.
