MSNBC: Abrams Plows Into Fox News Over Imus

[RiversideTVCHANNEL]

Who has the Highest ratings..Fox...That speaks for itself..

[Tzimnewman3]

What comment was so horrific??

[5837654932]

I love Imus and you can't beat fox ratings

[GstateBALLER925]

its interesting how fox news was bitching and moaning back then about imus being on msnbc and that he is somehow a liberal because of his comment. but then they bring them on their own network and its all well and good. what happened to him being too liberal and not enough of a conservative? i guess they changed their mind now. idiots.

[elmuhfuh]

they werent saying he was a liberal because of what he said, but rather that if it had been a conservative personality who said it, they would have been treated harsher. which is funny, its fox news admitting they are a conservative network, rather than "fair and balanced'. i have to disagree though, if black people are more accepting of liberals, it would offend them more. its like an enemy insulting you or a friend doing it, obviously it hurts more coming from a friend.

[GstateBALLER925]

yes, but isnt don imus a conservative? as far as i know, he gets along with all the conservatives out there.

[seans10]

Based on what it covers, I would guess that MSNBC has as many personnel assigned to monitoring Fox News and Rush Limbaugh as it does to the White House. I don't like Fox either, but MSNBC is a fucking joke. It feeds on MediaMatters like a parasite. I can't imagine MM gets much out of its association with MSNBC.

[GstateBALLER925]

and im sure fox has people watching all of those "liberal" networks and the rest of the "liberal media", as well... so what difference does it make if fox and/or msnbc does it? fox has been known to use websites like national review, newsbusters, hotair, and other conservative websites.

[DojangRat]

this is a load of shit. msnbc sucks ass

[cocobear33]

you have to admit fox news has the hottest women

[MRdrPROkeithSR]

damit! i thought it meant abrams tank ploughing into an MSNBC van!

[montemcmillian]

Just because they have more ratings doesnt mean that there news has substance, remember jerry springer was #1 to, but it wasnt for the social commentary, oh and what about oreilly phone sex controversey, and combs is the only real libeal on fox news, yet he has to share with hannity

[BAYYtalibanGOhard]

the reason "gangster rap" artists dont get fired for what they say is because they are not picking out a certain person to attack. if they call women bitches, hoes, and sluts, its about women in general. but if they pick out a britney spears or lindsay lohan of sorts, then they are in trouble if those ppl choose to complain about it.

[BAYYtalibanGOhard]

its just like the nappy headed hoes comment from imus... he attacked a certain group of ppl and insulted them, so he got in trouble. now if he said this about all women in general, hed probably get in trouble still, but not suspended.

[RedPandaBoy]

I find it funny when soemone asks the founder of Media Matters for America.. "What was the comment"

It seems silly... he runs a webpaeg FULL of them.

[ColdHardReality]

Whatever people think of Dan Abrams, he's a cute fucker! lol

[bvb720]

It doesn't matter. Imus returns to WABC Radio on December 3rd with Bernard McGuirk, Charles McCord, Lou Ruffino. He will also be simulcast on RFD-TV available on DirectTV and DishNetwork Satellite, plus selected Cable Companies.

[234234234werrrrrrr]

that dumb nigger is offended because he contracted half and african

[efan27]

dan abrams is lame. he reminds me of steve carrols character in bruce almighty and both have something in common, losers. MSNBC- LOW RATINGS BIATCH!!!

[damnidunno]

are you retarded? Jim Carrey is the one who played Bruce Almighty.

"Steve Carrol played Evan in EVAN ALMIGHTY. Go watch some more fox news. MSNBC kickanus.

[efan27]

steve carrel's character was in bruce almight. bruce took over his job as full time anchor. thats why i called him a loser...you just got pwned. sucka.

[damnidunno]

omg i just got "pwned" by some self importuning fat guy on the net!

[efan27]

6'1, 175 lbs. :P

[TulseLuper]

I love the fact that people who dislike MSNBC only ever point to the ratings as opposed to the content.

[greenteeth136]

John Fund needs to be ass raped by a big african american dick,and so do you, fuckwad.

[bvb720]

Dan Abrams belongs back on Court TV. He is not worthy of a position of power on MSNBC. And MSNBC will go off the Radar Screen very soon. As Joe Scarborough!. He made a glaring error and should not be asked back to host "MORNING JOE" I believe the show should be either 1. "Morning Joke", or "Morning (No one watches)". Good Night Dan. Your way over your head.

[hwy505]

They were actually nappy headed ashy hoes!

[bvb720]

Dan Abrams belongs in an insane asylum. A puffed up former Court TV reporter. What was MSNBC thinking?

[Jimmieweed]

MSNBC sucks

[DaneFace]

Attn Everybody:Im a blackman who could give a fat babies dick about what Imus said.I personally enjoy edgy commentary just like we all do,but without it going to far....Im gonna end it like this,"What Imus said does not compare in no way to what Bush is doing."Please be careful of what you give your attention to.

[reginalyn]

Paul Waldman needs to be fired. MSNBC's ratings are in the toilet.

[lapaul12]

I find it amazing that all these shows compete to see who will win the ratings war.Self promoting media personalites trying to drive traffic to thier shows but none of them are real news journalist.They are parasites who wait around for the next issue to turn into a controversy.

[makotonokage]

i agree. i'm black as well and found what imus said friggin hilarious...comments like these have already hit the mainstream media and besides imus has said things much worse than this in the past...if anyone should have been fired it should have been charles, he was the one who said 'hardcore hos' to begin with

[lapaul12]

makotonokage I am also black and I find nothing funny about his comments.I dont think just because something is mainstreamed gives one a pass to be insenstive and ignorant. Mainstream does not mean that all things must be accepted including rap music.

[jasonxxxstar]

Ok im black and im not takeing this shit so seriously come on it was not like he called them the Nword, those black girls have got to get over it how can you get so fucking hurt over a man calling you a nappy headed hoe. If that hurts you good luck in the real world

[lapaul12]

jasonxxxstar I agree that there was a over reaction but these words were not aimed at you so I'm not sure if I have a right to decide how someone should feel about it.Sensitivity varys you may be offended about something that others may think you should not be people have every right to decide what they will and will not take.

[elvin234]

Haha! lightra3098 was thinking the very same thing. Fox has this thing of hiring bleach blonds ' nice american girls' for it's horny old white conservative male audience.

[Iightra398]

Interesting how Fox News (and Republicans in general) always like to hire slim, sexy "conservative" prostitutes to speak for them.

[DangerDrVenture]

Freedom of speech means everyone gets to say what they want.

Imus has awesome charities...

MSNBC has been so hard on Imus after this, I don't see how Fox can feed a proxy delusion like that.

[cjc66]

people should stop being so f*cking sensitive and grow some skin.

[olivemike81]

The fact that Imus was canned (just like Limbaugh was for the McNabb statements) shows that left wing, and right wing radio hosts can be fired for what they say.

[ProjectM555]

Did anyone see how SKANKY MAN UGLY the captain of the team is. F*ck that C*NT. I hope she gets hers. Poor baby is scared for life. I would like to pour gas on her face, light it, and put it out with an ice pick. F*CKING SKANKY NAPPY HOE.

[thepictureman]

fuck all you sunsabitches who can take an insult. if you dont like what he says dont listen to him. i hope you choke on a fucking turkey bone! dont like what i said? maybe you should try to kick me off the internet.

[clsmithj]

What the hell happened to Abrahm's report.

MSNBC gets what they deserve on this one, all those attacks on FoxNews in recent months.

Imus's comments are indefensible.

[walawee]

fuck msnbc and fox

[wizarddragon]

I love how media takes any issue makes the issues other what they the issue should be.

[fishhead06]

I don't think anyway argues that the US is primarily conservative. The question is whether taht's a positive thing or not.

[Ender1zero1]

lying about people is that just something to do in your spare time? I thought conservatives where all about values and doing the right thing? It seems they have no problem doing the wrong thing any time it can hurt someone they don't agree with.

[miniambica]

o'reilly pimps hate. The "traditionalist" has phone sex and settles quitely. And no questions about it. He says that the boy who was kidnapped enjoyed being sodomised because he preffered that to studying. I think we need to send the " traditionalist" needs to go for therapy. He is rude and mean and his father did not give him enough time out when young and wash his mouth enough

[rexspe]

O'Reilly is a piece of shit.

[narmsanity]

Thats the most retarded comment I have ever read on youtube, and I have read a lot

[schrankage]

Maybe their just angry and resentful of the fact that the richest man in the world, an American, who owns NBC, won't bankroll them, and isn't one of them.

[RockmanX83]

1 slanted media complaining about another slanted media's slant.Then trying 2 find some political/moral ground that every1 can agree too that has little 2 no effect on the matter at hand then trailing off 2 more ridiculous bickering.Thats why I don't watch the news often,its just a TV show with ridiculous judgments on others &political stances based on the whole lib/conservative thing.

[wtotheill1]

Bill O'Reily was pushin' phone sex on one of his shows female producers. Talked about dildo use and so forth. He's married with 2 kids. He got sued for sexuall harrassment but Mr. rich man settled out of court with Millions going to the producer to keep her quiet. O'reilly is more of a bigot than Don Imus is. If it were up to FOX new anyone who disagrees with a coservitive point of view would be burned at the stake. Whos spreading hatred again? ummm

[holdingcompany]

the fellow leading this discussion needs to calm down about fox and get on with his reportage of this issue - regardless of fox. he makes this news program look as bad as fox does.

[ConfusedIcky]

My first reaction to this clip is, "What a mind trip." I'm watching FOX News on MSNBC on YouTube. It all appears to be self-contained, self-interested hubris. Can't we watch the news without having the media outlet we're watching talk about what some rival media outlet said about them? Let's have a news story on MSNBC that isn't about MNSBC.

[schrankage]

I agree, but like in politics they say if you don't respond to negative attacks, they DO hurt you. And MSNBC is a punching bag for the right-wing.

[EntinludeX]

Seems to me like they're too focused on how this will affect MSNBC's reputation...then the actual issue. The whole Faux vs MSNBC thing seems to get in the way of the issue. He said at 3:50 how he dind't want to get into the FOXvsMSNBC thing..then immedialy steers the conversation right back into it. Stay on topic guys or you'r eno better than FAUX.

[encierro75]

Just because Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams and Chris Matthews look really stupid for enabling Imus' homophobic, racist and anti-women rants for the last several years MSNBC trots out its general manager to do damage control. I can't believe the guy who posted this video doesn't condemn Imus's words. MSNBC should fire Imus.

[jeffwads]

This discussion actually made some sense...I never thought MSNBC could pull this off. Congrads.
