So therefore, no one in the GOP was thinking about topping or countering the selection of Obama with this pick. If Steele had been white, the vote count would have been exactly the same. It's not really the GOP that is making a big deal out of the fact that he's black, its the media who insist on writing articles with titles similar to the title of this thread.

poor GOP and the liberal media's agenda that never actually looked into anything the bush administration was doing

boo hoo hoo hoo

it must be nice for the GOP to go from the party in government to the outside again so they can whine about the media bias like little bitches again

oh wait, they never stopped. even though they have their own network and the radio.

also i would submit that Rice and Powell were qualified

but they both did a pretty shitty job didn't they

Michael Steele is a gigantic tool and I hate his guts.

[Trotskilicious]

uh because fox news calls itself fair and balanced

i didn't really give them a hard time by mentioning them though. i guess acknowledging that they function as a spin machine for the GOP is badmouthing them.

regardless of whether msnbc is one big left wing circle jerk (maddow, olbermann & mathews, sure, but they also have like 5 hours of right wing "morning joe" every morning), I have a hard time respecting anybody who describes fox news conservative bias as "alleged".

...I don't know anyone who doesn't think MSNBC is left leaning.

I don't understand what makes you happy.

why do you think i'm so worried? christ, man.

It's hard to respect anybody who thinks that Joe Scarborough speaks for the conservative base in America and therefore lends balance to PMSNBC.

It's also pathetic how you people love to stamp the REPUBLICAN name onto liberal-to-moderates like Scarborough and Tucker Carlson...and even Judd Gregg....and then immediately re-classify them as right-wingers or conservatives. It really shows your ineptness in understanding what conservatism actually is.

What will NBC do next? Give Alan Colmes a show and label him as the "counterpoint" just because he came from Fox News?

Never looked into anything? Never reported on anything regardless of whether it was factually accurate or not?

Why is Dan Rather no longer working at CBS again?

If you think Carlson and Scarborough are "moderate liberals" you truly are living in a different world.

I'm glad you keep posting because you are as representative of the left-wing in America as anyone on here.

I don't even know what that means, but it is not really surprising considering your sentence construction is reminiscent of a five year old autistic child with head trauma.

... Morning Joe is a tool of the vast right-wing conspiracy? Seriously?
