Media Matters panel discussion - April 6, 2006

[scbluesman13]

How's Al's show doing? Well let's see. It's now one of the most popular alternative news radio shows out there, he himself is now a US senator, Rachel Maddow who was one of his original show hosts on AAR is now doing a bang up journalistic/pundit job on MSNBC. I'd say his radio show was a success story.

This is hilarious; Al Franken (Mr. Credibility himself) clearly displaying what can best be described as, well, PENIS ENVY of Bill O'Reily! (Say it ain't so, Al. Considering the Factor has been the #1 rated cable news show, since this vid was posted.)

Geeeeeze do these "media" buffoons actually believe the American public will swallow their distortions; hook, line and sinker? ...Talk about hubris and lack of "Journalistic Integrity."

Pulleeeze!

[MrArchieBunker]

Sorry, liberalism is filth

[boogiechillen123]

Al Franken talking about integrity?

This from the man that was Stuart Smalley?

What makes him worthy of commenting on anything?

[blairone100]

Al franken is a piece of shit

[NewMexicoSunset]

One, O'Reily is a fake. He's admitted as much. He saw the audience and the market Limbaugh had, and wanted a piece of it. Now he's a rich man. Ever wonder why Colbert and O'Reily have this mutual respect for each other? Colbert is a comedy show and it's obvious he's putting on a show playing a conservative. O'Reily is just better at it.

Two, the weapons are in Syria.

[JRCKFSH]

No liberal bias in the mainstream press? Al and his ilk work tirelessly to brainwash Americans. Liberal bias in the press in not in question.They are so threatened and unhinged that right wing radio carried the republicans to power. There solution? Discredit , smear and lie about the right. Propaganda of the highest order.

[NickDanger0001]

What an illiterate.

[JRCKFSH]

AFRAID OF AIR AMERICA? That's a fucking good one. How is your show doing Al? Oh yeah, you used this guaranteed to fail campaign as a convenient excuse to bail on Air America. AA is a joke and your time there will surely sink your campaign. Air America; radical anti-american propaganda for the delusional far left. You might want to start circling a few classifieds Al.

[JRCKFSH]

This video perfectly illustrates Mr Savage's point; Liberalism is a mental disorder!! These people are off the reservation. Al seems to have forgot that liberal democrats supported the war!! Let us know how your campaign goes! LOL 1,000 to 1 ,you lose

[energizerwzl]

How can you look at this video and just completely discredit it? I mean they are using the words of Cheney to in fact discredit him. They go to an actual expert and find out about the aluminum tubes. The scary part is that the media did not do this research. If they had, there is a much better possibility that we would not have gotten ourselves into this mess (Iraq war) and there is no way that you can say that it would be bad if we hadn't gone into Iraq. Wake up and look at the facts.

[alloverthedamnplace]

REMEMBER: MAKING A RETARDED VIDEO IS THE *ONLY POWER YOU HAVE* because your backward mindset doesn't "play" in the real world and you can't get very many of your candidates who think like this elected. This is what dumb-ass, need to get a real job and make a better contribution to this world, has been, losers do when they don't get their communist - socialist way. AS FREEDOM IS THE AMERICAN WAY, KEEP MAKING STUPID VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE AND YOU WILL *NEVER* HAVE ANY POWER.

[starVol]

Al Franken reminds me of that bugeyed nerd back in high school that even girls tormented. LOL

[YawBStoopit01]

Ohhhhh--what was that skag thingee in the pink???? It looks like something out of a wicked horror flick!!! Ouuuuuch!

[YawBStoopit01]

Well, if this didn't prove they are are a bunch of goofs, their smear campaign against Limbaugh has today validated that they are impotent, ignorant, incompetent and moronic! Rush pleasured them up the wazoo! Harry Reid is Rush's newest Limbaugh babe-bitch!

[kondor26]

Harry Reid....media matters? who are you kidding.

[kondor26]

Do people really listen to this crap? Al Franken

SNL is where you should have stayed, did they turf you?

[RehobothBeach]

Thank you for posting this! A panel of left wing nuts! By the way Al, your history! Show more so we can have a good laugh again!

[1a2asdf1a2]

al is my hero

[GrinnellAlumna]

I think that they wanted a discussion. Unfortunately having people like O'Rielly, Limbaugh and Coulter leads to shouting and ill manered arguments. This was so much more civilized.

[jcashtbo]

Limbaugh doesn't engage in worthless garbage like this. He does his show and that's it.

[GrinnellAlumna]

All Limbaugh does on his show is rant enough to make you question his mental stability. So finally find out about Limbaugh's drug abuse explains a lot of his insane rantings over the years; raised my opinion of him - it had to be the drugs- he seems better since rehab.

[well99]

Sure non bias group there...lol

[mikemchugh2]

poorly cut, it would have been cool to watch.

[hoverboard360]

I love Al Franken, he should run for office.

[brt456]

Al Franken is a moron.

I'm not a conservative, but how can anyone take Media matters seriously? They have a convention to talk about the level of bias in American media, but everyone talking is a liberal! That's a nice level of balence.

[hoverboard360]

There are extreme conservative hosts to maybe your style like Bill O'REilly and Rush Limbaugh. Both ignorant fools but hey people are following them if they make so much money every year.

[DynesTuba]

I support Media Matters. But, I agree with brt456 in that they screwed up by not making an equally balanced presentation. They should have used non-celebrity talking-heads from both sides of the dispute.

[jnmckm]

Thank you for this. Please post more.

Sincerely,

Jen
