I was going to watch MSNBC for a little while today because I read (NY Post) Chris Jansing was going to cover the MJ doings out in LA.
Then I read more and saw David Kervorkian Schuster was going to co-host.
I think I'll go clean fish instead.
BTW: I read where Chris is 52, is this true? Still smokin' hot for me.

Mike C,
Great catch. as much as I hate to say it but FOX has dropped the ball on the Palin story and has fallen into the MJ love fest, the even had it on the Strategyroom feed as if it wasn't on enough other places

Thanks, Kirk.
Re: "Shuster smears Fox with a lie": But I guess he loves Cablevision since they added MSNBC HD on day one.

I'm impressed, just when I think David Shuster has reached the pinnacle of stupidity, he finds new ways to raise that bar.
Now the question is, will he ever apologize for his lie/smear? Or will he continue to play the part of the cowardly fool?

Will Keith 'Tokyo Rose" Olbermann name David Shuster worst person in the world? Its to the point with MSNBC that when they say something we just have to assume that its not true. It must suck to me them.

"Never Can Say Goodbye" isn't a song anymore. It's a threat.

Your characterization of Shuster's misstatement as a lie tells me that you engage in the exact same hyperbole as those you criticize at Newshounds.

This has nothing to do with newshounds. It has to do with Shuster, who is an industry professional and knows full well who runs DirecTV.
It may be possible that he's really that stupid and doesn't know what goes on in his own industry. I don't think it's likely, but it is not impossible. I can produce a string of comments from Shuster repeatedly calling Karl Rove a liar for getting some fact wrong about a judge or something. So I am applying to Shuster the exact same standards he applied to Rove. He gets back exactly what he dishes out. Reciprocality is a hallmark of J$P.

I wonder if "Observer" was as critical of the hounds when they went on the attack of FNC when their "misstatement" of Mark Sanford - D aired for about 17 seconds.

So now, it is hyperbole to call out News Hounds on their lies?
