MSNBC going 'u wot m8' with its latest 'lean forward' spot

[Keystone Phil]

I'd love for MSNBC to have a promo about reporting the news and not opinions (whether they're mainstream or super controversial) but that's asking a lot of a non-news network.

The difference is that MSNBC's opinions are correct, and they don't blatantly lie nearly as often as the "fair and balanced" network.

Never cared for and always called out FOX but FOX is no where near as ridiculous as MSNBC. The latter's promos are campaign ads for Christ's sake.

I watch CNN, for the record.

The difference is MSNBC is open about it's liberal identity whereas Fox news shamelessly lies to it's viewers claiming to be "fair and balanced".

Ok, we've been on this merry-go-round earlier. MSNBC is still more ridiculous. No contest. Again, I'm saying this as someone who has never been a FOX fan which isn't easy as someone on the right.

Well I guess if you say so.

I don't see anything wrong with this? Seems like a sensible, mainstream position.

And no one has any rights, intrinsically, by simply existing as a human-being. All rights/privileges are created by the state. The question is which rights/privileges the state should enforce and which it should not. The positive/negative rights distinction is also nonsense. Any right can be positive or negative depending on how you rhetorically frame it.

The Corporate Right acts as if the common man owes the economic elite everything yet that the economic elite owes the rest of America nothing.  Life without dignity  is a nightmare. Life  without a reasonable expectation of sustenance is a lethal sham.

Isn't it ironic how lots of people insist that young people are very collectivist at first but then adopt small government philosophies as they get older and start supporting themselves? From my experience it's the exact opposite.

It's really easy to get turned on by the warm fuzzy virtues of self reliance when you're young and you're basically being supported by your parents or the government. Then you enter the cruel world and have to support yourself, and you realize that self reliance isn't always enough. You understand the values of the social safety net because you suddenly need it. Reality CHECK!

That commercial is the only positive thing Al Sharpton has done in his life.

Quality food, healthcare, housing, and education are the bare bones minimum foundation that any individual needs to even hope to live a successful and happy life.  How would anybody even begin to try to make something of themselves if they did not know where their next meal is from, or if they had to worry about disease derailing their life, or if they lived on the streets, or if they had acquired no knowledge?  I suppose only the children of wealthy, successful people should get those things through the glorious invisible hand because, you know, those children have done so much to earn it.

Go home you stupid little libertarian POS.

Yea, hilarious when I was a teenager I was just naive and when I get out there in the real world I'll become a Republican.  The reason you hear this stuff in lily-white affluent suburbs is because they assume you're going to be wealthy just like them, and be greedy just like them, and don't want the socialists taking your money just like them.  Fortunately, the rich suburbs aren't actually "reality" as most people live it, just a nice little thing cooked up for a select few. 

I only become more and more liberal as I've gotten older, and I'm proud of that.  It lets me know that my maturity has progressed in a logical manner.  I WAS a stupid, selfish little kid.  I'm becoming an adult that cares about those around him.  Certainly a better path than a slow decline into a greedy cretin who holds utter contempt for those who are less successful.
