He flies off the cuff but actually displayed a fairly libertarian bent most of the time, and spent much of his shows campaigning for transparency. His rant from the time during the debt ceiling debate is epic and worth watching.He was a psycho too. I saw a show where he shouted down a broker on wall street over absolute nonsense. He lets his politics get in the way of rational thought when it comes to finance
Joe says boneheaded stuff but is passable for cable news which isn't exactly the highest bar out there. For early shows, Charlie rose takes it in a landslide for me.I think Scarborough is the best on MSNBC.
Did he really say "white folks" ...
remember, MSNBC used to employ Keith Olbermann, who lawgator once defended as presenting the facts and who's show was always well-researched
I know that FNC leans to the right in most of it's programming, but let's not kid ourselves, MSNBC is so deep in the tank for Obama and the democrats that it borders on satire.

MSNBC and FOX NEWS are nothing more than propaganda machine.
The new book, due to be published next year, will be the third in a trilogy, following his earlier works, Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth Is Fighting Back and How We Can Still Save Humanity, and The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning: Enjoy It While You Can.

The problem is we dont know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books mine included because it looked clear-cut, but it hasnt happened, Lovelock said.
The climate is doing its usual tricks. Theres nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now, he said.
The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising -- carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that, he added.
He pointed to Gores An Inconvenient Truth and Tim Flannerys The Weather Makers as other examples of alarmist forecasts of the future.
In 2007, Time magazine named Lovelock as one of 13 leaders and visionaries in an article on Heroes of the Environment, which also included Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev and Robert Redford.
Jim Lovelock has no university, no research institute, no students. His almost unparalleled influence in environmental science is based instead on a particular way of seeing things, Oliver Morton, of the journal Nature wrote in Time.
--------------------------
In the interview, Lovelock said he would not take back a word of his seminal work Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth, published in 1979.
But of Revenge of Gaia, published in 2006, he said he had gone too far in describing what the warming Earth would see over the next century.
I would be a little more cautious -- but then that would have spoilt the book, he quipped.
Msnbc airs deliberately partisan (vacuous to boot) programs, and fox news is a willing mouthpiece for the republican party, and I mean that in the most literal sense possible.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other, anybody who uses cable news as a primary news source does not get taken seriously.
June 24 (Reuters) - Lawyers for Jerry Sandusky sought a mistrial before his conviction for child sex abuse on the grounds that prosecutors showed jurors an inaccurate version of a bombshell NBC News interview with the former football coach, and the mistake may now form part of the basis for an appeal.
In response to a subpoena, NBC News turned over three versions of Bob Costas' NBC News interview with Sandusky, which aired last November on different NBC shows.
One of those versions, which was broadcast on the 'Today' show, contained an erroneous repetition of a key question and answer - about whether Sandusky was sexually attracted to young boys, Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania attorney general said on Sunday.
The repetition, Sandusky's lawyers contend, made it appear to jurors that he was stonewalling.
