Did anyone else watch Lawrence O'Donnell turn into Bill O'Reilly tonight while he interviewed, Jason Chaffetz? For crying out loud, the guy was an absolute asshole!
I'm no fan of, Chaffetz. Hell, I've even called, Paul Rolly on him when I knew about some of his hypocrisy. But O'Donnell made him look like the voice of reason and decorum with his rudeness tonight.
O'Donnell has been watching too much, "Faux News" it appears. He's learned that when you interview someone, you don't let them give the whole answer to the question. You cut them off before they can explain themselves, and you put words in their mouths. You also make shit up by pulling accusations of impropriety out of thin air.
This interview reminded me of, "Bill-O's" interview of the President before the Super Bowl. How a nut job like, O'Reilly was allowed to treat a sitting President of The United States so rudely and inappropriately, except that the network carrying the game was, Fox is beyond me. It was horrible.
And O'Donnell did the same thing to Chaffetz tonight. He put words in his mouth, he cut him off, he insinuated stuff. Just like, "Faux News".
When Stephen Colbert does it on his show, it's supposed to be funny. He's doing satire. But even at that, when his guest is someone who has written a book I might actually like to read? I find it totally annoying. Even though I get it that, "annoying" is what he's going for. He is a better, more obnoxious and ill informed, inflexible, "character" than O'Reilly is in reality.
O'Donnell was channeling, Stephen Colbert tonight! He was a total jerk! And even though I don't like the guy he was a jerk to, it's not news, and it's not journalism, and it's not right when you pull that shit, and you're not doing a comedy show.
Yeah, Chaffetz is a cheap bastard that ought to get a room, and not be sleeping in his office. It shows a total lack of class, and is demeaning to the Office of Congressman. But since he's from Utah County, home of the cheapest people in the country, it plays well with his constituents.
That is no excuse for MSNBC to quit being a news channel, and start being, "Faux News". And if this is the direction they are going to take, I'll start watching, "COPS" reruns on, TruTV instead of, O'Donnell at 1800 hours MST.
And, O'Donnell? You should be ashamed of yourself! You have the credentials and experience to be the true voice of reason on TV. And with your experience, you should have been able to make a political light weight like, Jason Chaffetz, look like a dope. But, nope. He turned the table on you, and made you look like a total douche by not losing his cool, and giving reasonable answers, at least as much of an answer as you would LET him.
When Keith Olbermann eviscerated you, to your face or not, he was a gentleman about it. He let you answer the question because after you did, he probably had more ammo to use against you. He didn't need to shout you down. When you came to a battle of wits with him, he made you look totally unarmed.
Mr. O'Donnell, you sir, are no, Keith Olbermann. And I hope you change your ways before you and your network can't get anyone with, "R" after their name to appear on your shows, and like, "Faux News" you are no longer a real news channel.
Liberals don't need our own network to reinforce what we believe. We know we are right, and are proven so all the time by the REAL NEWS! That's why, "Air America" failed. If you are preaching to choir, you're not convincing anyone else.
Faux News has to reinforce, to the dummies that watch it, every day, and every hour that they are right, despite all the information from legitimate news sources that they are wrong about everything, and voting for rich people is not in the best interest of the poor, and downtrodden.
Faux News fans don't KNOW they are the poor and downtrodden. Liberals know what reality is. So, MSNBC, and Lawrence? Quit preaching to the choir and just report the news.
