After MSNBC President Claims Channel Doesn't Support Libs, Network Gives Free Time to MoveOn.org Ad
Just days after MSNBC President Phil Griffin claimed his cable network does not use air-time to support Democratic candidates and liberal causes, evening host Lawrence O'Donnell yielded over two minutes of his eponymous program to feature MoveOn.org's latest anti-Republican advertisement in its entirety.
O'Donnell introduced the partisan attack ad as a get-out-the-vote push: "Sometimes you have to take unusual steps to get out the vote. MoveOn.org, with the help of actors Olivia Wilde from 'House' and Romany Malco from 'Weeds,' has produced a warning from the future to show you what could happen if Republicans win this election because you didn't vote."
After playing the entire ad uninterrupted, which urged voters to "STOP THE REPUBLICAN TAKEOVER!!" and predicted that if the GOP takes back control of Congress in November because liberals don't go to the polls, Republicans will merge with "the big corporations that fund them to create RepubliCorp," the MSNBC host immediately cut to a commercial break.
Instead of analyzing the attack ad on its merits, O'Donnell gave MoveOn.org free ad time.
"Show me an example of us fundraising," Griffin challenged critics in a recent interview. While O'Donnell did not directly appeal to voters to donate to the left-wing political group, this blatant display of partisanship is at odds with Griffin's contention that MSNBC does not openly cheerlead for liberal interests.

I saw moveon.org and thought this was the story about the Rand Paul supporters who roughed up a MoveOn girl, but alas, just more bias.

Dang they saw the secret papers about the evil corporations taking over the world. The plan is quite inscidious, we will flood the free market with products people want to buy and at reasonable prices. Yes I personally have tried this on a small scale and it works. We will control the world.

MSNBC doesn't support Libs.
All Things Considered considers viewpoints besides that of the Left.
Obama's not a Socialist.
Kathleeen Parker's a Conservative.
JournOLists are objective.
Democrats care about the little guy.
Hey Liberals, cut the crap! We're long past the point of playing games with your lies. Time to try some new tactic.
I haven't seen NB's response to the Rand Paul...

incident involving a member of the moveon.org hit squad being "violently"/"brutally" accosted by evil Rand Paul supporters.
I don't condone violence, but I can't help but think that moveon.org got exactly what wanted from Rand Paul supporters -- to provoke a heated response on tv; and Paul supporters did not disappoint.
Is it a coincidence that the only clip shown on tv is the one of this girl on the ground with Campaign Coordinator Tim Profitt's foot on her head? No video of the "before"?
Interesting.
We're only days away from an election and now mysteriously there is a video shot by the media (I presume) of a moveon.org supporter (of all people) being "violently" accosted.
naaaaaahhhh this wasn't a set up. That's so unlike moveon.org. That's so unlike the left. They've never tried to set up Tea Partiers before....oh wait...yes they have.
Financed by George Soros. Diehard national supporter of Obama. Accused of voter fraud and intimidation in the 04 election.1)
naaaaahhhh, this wasn't a set-up.
When will we understand how the game is played? You can't think like a Conservative where liberals are involved. You have to think like a liberal.
After all, it's their god they're defending -- government to the layperson.

Good job.
I was surprised to hear that Phil Griffin would say that after posting this on the msnbc website.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39507182/
Cable news network msnbc said Tuesday it is launching a two-year, multimillion-dollar marketing campaign, embracing its politically progressive identity with the new tagline “Lean Forward.”
They claim to be POLITICALLY PROGRESSIVE on their own site!!
