Re: 2nd Term Part VIII - The Thin Red Line
I haven't watched fox since college. I have watched msnbc regularly but have recently stopped because I just can't take it anymore. They are getting as bad with their liberal viewpoints as fox was with the conservative take.
Until they fire Melissa Harris-Perry (or whatever her name is) I'm done. She's an absolute loonball.

When I watched (a while ago) MSNBC was only liberal at night. They have a former GOP Congressman on in the morning and Mrs. Greenspan in the afternoon. The daytime reminded me of a badly run high school production. Weekends were (are) "Lockup" or "How to Catch a Predator" reruns.
I do not even have FNC on my channel guide. I took out CNN, Bloomberg, Fox Business and CNBC+ or whatever it is. I left CNBC because they occasionally broadcast the Stanley Cup playoffs

With Comcast, you just hit Guide twice and you can choose all channels, just HD channels, Favorites, Trending, Movies, Sports or Kids. All I have done is gone through and marked channels I actually watch as "favorites" and the rest don't even appear. So I can trim all the shopping channels, Food, HGTV etc.
On DirecTV, you edit your guide (I think it's the yellow button) and select which channels appear. You can have two custom guides, so I had one for TV channels I watched and another that was just hockey channels.

This could have been taken verbatim from Anderson 1980 or Perot 1992 or Nader 2000. Nice to see it comin' around on the gui-tar once again. Erickson lays out explicitly the rationale for a third party, then pulls back at the last moment. The logical solution is to co-opt the party from the inside. The thing he can't quite bring himself to admit is that would mean simply becoming the next group of marionettes. The last time an insurgency took over a major party, it used an ACTUAL trained marionette -- an actor -- to do it.
In other news, Trailer Tiara chimes in.
And McDaniel himself is playing the Climate Change Gambit: just deny it's happening.

Saw something interesting the other day in coverage of the House GOP not reauthorizing the Import-Export Bank. House knucks', as opposed to their establishment counterparts, keep sticking it to the corporate crowd which writes most of their checks (immigration, govt shutdown, etc). Obviously these people aren't going to run to Obama, but in a Hillary vs Rand Paul race in 2016??? You could see a big shift in where the Chamber of Commerce crowd starts spending their money.

Just another reason to drive a stake through her heart before she ever gets started.
I've been telling my GOP friends for a while that while Citizens United and McCutcheon look great for them now, just wait until the Clintons start using their rolodex. There is so much big lobbying money lurking behind Hillary, Adelson and the Koch Bros will look like the Little Sisters of the Poor by comparison.

Terrific. We now have political commentary on whose political commentary is most biased.

Re: 2nd Term Part VIII - The Thin Red Line
MSNBC is probably just as bad as FNC. The great part of that is that MSNBC doesn't pretend to be anything but a biased source. FNC is still playing their lovable "we report, you decide" lie years after everybody but their viewers have figured out the joke's on them.
Of course, a Politico article quoting an NRO guy is probably the dictionary definition for skewing results, so we'd have to see what the real data was. But as I said, it wouldn't shock me to find out that MSNBC is just as dimwitted as FNC. They are two of a kind.
