I watch the channel every day...including this morning because they have good solid news programming in the morning hours.
You can google it...or you can just watch it for yourself. Tune in tonight. Watch Rachel Maddow and see for yourself. There will be NO conservatives on there.
DVR Hannity or OReilly tonight. I GUARANTEE you there will be a liberal on there. And there are liberals on Hannity and OReilly every night. Not just every once in a while.
That's one of the reasons that Hannity trounces Maddow in the ratings. Neither one is a real news show. They are both sucking up to their respective conservative and liberal audiences.
But Hannity's show is simply a better SHOW (talking entertainment).
As I said...just watch both of them tonight (DVR one of them). Then, without worrying about politics or what you personally believe, just check them both out and see who has opposing views on their show.
And yes, Buchanan WAS on MSNBC. And he has talked at length about being forced out of MSNBC over his political viewpoint and how they didn't want any real conservative views being pushed on the network.
It was a move by them for ratings...they THOUGHT that since the country had voted Democrat in 2008 that it meant that more people wanted to see liberal hosts. Turns out they were wrong in that regard (viewership numbers).
They have the same problem that "Air America" had (the failed liberal radio talk show debacle from a couple of years ago). They just aren't hiring any good entertaining men or women that can reach out and grab an audience.
There is no liberal version of Rush Limbaugh. And that is what MSNBC needs (I'm talking ability to entertain people and put "asses in the seats")
