So Fox News fired Olbermann then?

This is fucking hilarious...rather than get upset at MSNBC for firing Olbermann or simply taking it in stride that Olbermann broke their company policy (which he did), people are finding reasons to point fingers at Fox somehow for this? How is that even possible in this case? What does ANYTHING happening at MSNBC have to do with Fox? Fox News is gh3y but jesus, you people are trying to take jabs at them for something that didn't even involve them in the slightest. That would be like pointing fingers at Fox for CNN firing Sanchez, or NPR firing what's-his-face. How in any way is Fox responsible for the decisions of other entities?

hey kids check out the new color:

STOP BEING FAUX BRAINWASHED STEPFORD WIVES PEOPLE!

Read it again - no one is blaming fox - I'm saying its a shot across their bow...

MSNBC is standing for an American principle that Fox flagrantly shits on.

The day after the election they pumped 600 billion more into the economy. All the talk of budgets and they want their first order of business to be to extend costly tax cuts to the rich. I'm sure they'll continue trying to do exactly what you are hoping, unfortunately that is basically fucking the country over more.

Liberals, Progressives and Democrats simply cant stomach the blame for anything...not in there own lives or the people they support, never have and never will.

At the end of the year when Comcast gets full control of NBC Universal and the major changes happen at MSNBC somehow, someway the start will align themselves and people will still blame Fox News...im calling it now 2 months in advance.

Ben Bernanke was following the executive order that Barry singed for the quantitative easing plan, its not as if the Republicans got together and said "Hey lets buy back 600 billion dollars of U.S. Treasury securities".

What principle? Having unbiased news? :1orglaugh

Seriously though, what's the difference between anchors that support a particular party all day long with their words/actions and anchors that support a particular party with money? Does supporting them with money somehow trump the fact that they incite/reaffirm the views behind such support all day long on TV? What difference is there? Seriously, I'm all ears on this one. It's not like Olbermann woke up and suddenly changed from being an objective news personality to being a subjective one with this contribution. They didn't fire Olbermann the moment he showed clear liberal bias, they fired him for making what is honestly an inconsequential contribution of money to a party. If you want to pat them on the back for having that policy or for sticking to their guns and enforcing the policy even on someone like Olbermann even on an inconsequential sum of moeny, then I can understand that, but to act like they are being altruistic and proving non-bias with the policy and/or its enforcement is ludicrous.

People like you hound Fox News for their "fair and balanced" bs (and rightfully so)...how can you possibly read more into this other than they have a particular policy which really has no bearing on how biased they are, someone broke that policy and got fired?

How would putting 600 billion into the economy then letting the tax cuts expire taking out 700 billion out the economy do any good? :helpme

Because all rich people do is buy luxuries...they don't own any businesses and don't earn their money. They certainly don't employ anybody. They're a complete leech on the system. Duh!

:1orglaugh

so any business that makes over $250K doesn't get a tax break, aren't those the business's that hire people? Isn't that important to the economy?

Well, no one who was newly elected has taken power yet and this new "stimulus" was known to be coming for awhile now. I agree that for most of the Republicans that were elected it will likely just be politics as usual and they won't do much, but I am very confident that some will. The Paul family alone will be well placed next year to really put the heat on Bernanke et al. Furthermore, attempting to tax our way out of this mess is suicidal.

That's the problem once the overspending has happened and gotten out of control. The damage is done. All that can be done is that they can slow the spending down, because adding more taxes for people to pay for continued overspending is only going to further fuck the people that relative to 3+ years ago are now struggling whether they are rich or not.

I for one make enough money to support myself, but in the past 3 years most of my family has lost their jobs and/or seen their own ventures go to shit, and I'm juggling supporting myself with helping to support them, which all of a sudden makes me struggling despite making a decent amount of money. It's led to having to make difficult decisions on where to cut my own spending, which is what the government really needs to do instead of let this ridiculous "neverending" well continue to flow.

I haven't seen much of Rand Paul, but if his father can instill enough sense into him, maybe having Ron Paul and a Ron Paul Lite in politics will help get the nation closer to making the right decisions for the economy to recover.

You crazed righties aren't even educated enough to know that the TAX HIKE WILL ONLY BE FOR THOSE MAKING ABOVE 250K PER YEAR.

You supposedly "Fiscally Conservative" assholes really want to INCREASE THE DEFICIT BY NEARLY 3 TRILLION DOLLARS by keeping the Bush Tax Cuts???

I hope so though I do worry that if the Fed does start to feel the heat they will intentionally fuck the economy even worse and blame those who are trying to make them accountable and really fix things.

Do you not see how even that can hurt the economy?

Of course not. Everyone should live off of Big Macs and Hot Pockets, drive used Kia's, work 40+ hours a week for a corporation, and give anything in excess of bare essentials to "the collective", right Slutboat?

Of course he doesn't see the error in reinstituting tax on "rich" people that are, like the rest of us, doing horrible right now relative to 3+ years ago. Fuck the rich, they do nothing for their money and hard-working welfare recipients deserve it instead, right Slutboat?

I'm not a righty my friend. The extreme right want to fuck the poor, the extreme left want to fuck the rich (or what they consider to be rich)...I don't want to fuck ANYBODY. Our government needs to stop spending like they have Mary Poppins' purse, and newsflash - extending a tax cut ALREADY IN PLACE is not ADDING TO SPENDING. There should for sure be no more tax cuts, but not extending tax cuts for small business owners may as well be saying to the country "we hear your cry for more jobs...so we're going to fuck the people that could create them. Have a nice day!"

Fox news is owned by News Corp. MSNBC is Owned by NBC/Universal soon to be owned by Comcast.

Businesses don't pay as much in taxes as everyone claims. There are enough loopholes to drive a Hummer through (literally) and every accountant worth even $50 per month knows all about them. The effective tax rate for Google is around 2%, legally, thanks to the way laws are setup. Try doing that on a 30k a year income.

I wasn't saying they voted it to pass, I was commenting on the timing by the Federal Reserve.

Wow, Mathews is gone too? Looks like Olbermann's replacement is already selected too...

its personal income not the income of the business and if you look at the breaks until you hit over a mil its not money anyone is getting hired on. Also its demand that makes businesses grow not tax breaks. If you own a pizza business and they raise you taxes but your business increases from 1000 pizzas a week to 3000 pizzas a week. You are hiring people tax break or not and for the past 3 yrs they had the break and there hasnt been no hiring boom.

if your going to hire people because your business has a need. You are going to hire them tax breaks or not.

You do realzie that most busniess do not file PERSONAL taxes. I'm 100% sure that wal-mart is not filing under sole proprietor. of those that do 97% have incomes UNDER $250k. So you rant is a red herring.

That video is over 2 yrs old.

Predictions if the repugs get back in:
- War with Iran looking for 'weapons of mass destruction'
- Possibly war with Pakistan
- More hand holding with Saudi tycoons
- The next actor/politician leader they choose will rack up ANOTHER 7 TRILLION in debt like George W did.
- More tax cuts for the rich
- The world 'gives up' on the US
- Removal of more regulations, leading to another GFC, massive oil spills, massive environmental damage
- Religion interferes with govt
- Loss of rationality as religious nutters attack science and intellectuals.

So that guy behind you in your avatar taught you how to spell?

It would be fun to see Chris Matthews doing ATM.

Right-Wing nuts in the adult industry.:1orglaugh
Anyway...On topic here MSNBC is nothing but,prison shows without
Keith Olbermann.
I am sure Phil is already getting phone calls from shareholders.

QFT..



In the meanwhile Glenn beck is talking about the imminent communist revolution in America.
