Monday Night TV (UPDATE: Now Wednesday)

We aren't fans of America's Racial Dogwhistle Station MSNBC. They are perpetually searching for nonexistent slights perpetrated by the right, are reflexively anti-gun, shameless Obama cheerleaders and pretty much half-assed in every way you can think. It's part of why MSNBC is always dead last in ratings and near last in "media trustworthiness."

That being said, MSNBC is doing a piece Monday night on (what else) "behind the color line" in America and they spend some time in Chicago interviewing the reporters from Chicago Magazine who wrote the recent articles on how Rahm, Garry and CompStat manipulate the numbers to fool the slow-witted into thinking crime is down.

Here's a link to the trailer for the piece (the Chicago portion is around the 2:20 mark). They grill Rahm a bit, too, which is always entertaining when you see the 9.5 Digit Midget attempting to keep a lid on his Napoleonic temper.

UPDATE: Segment has been moved to Wednesday night. Rahm must be scared of all the publicity we gave the piece - insignificant you know.

Yeah right, It's all legit. Just like cnn's Chicagoland. It's probably just another free political ad for Rahm...

MSNBC may end up trying to blame it all on Bush and the republicans.

There is no "guy" who owns GE or MSNBC, publicly traded companies. Comcast owns NBC, I think GE is in there too, also a public company. They have gobbled each other up it is hard to know who owns who.

GE has nothing to do with MSNBC. They sold it. Comcast now owns NBC and it's subsidiaries.

This is the same guy that moved the operation of GE out of the Country and pays almost no taxes.

You were right about MSNBC being the propaganda arm of the left. When will more people catch on?

There is a great piece of reportage from the Chicago Tribune,
"The American Millstone," written by the Tribune staff. It details one black migrant family from the south, coming up to escape poverty, and actually finding jobs to support themselves. Then they collide with the "Great Society," and it's all downhill from there.

Only place to find the book is used book sellers. Did I mention the articles comprising the book were written in 1985 - 86, back in the day when the Trib was a bastion of conservatism? Long gone.

Check out Rahm's body language when he answers the question, "Do you trust these stats?"

He says, Absolutely" but his boy language screams, HOW DARE YOU QUESTION WHAT I TELL YOU!

I would love to listen to the angry phone calls after that interview.

Its Reganomics all over again.....nice how the reporter driving the SUV didn't want to commit to the fact that the coroner 's report was found to be different than police reports " as the they're investigation revealed " What a choked....he was all " yehh, uhh, ohh, akk, I mean thats what our investigation reveaed". More cattle reportingg. When will the truth be brought to light...only after one of these N.Y. clowns in charge gets indicted and they write a book from club fed about their days in Chirak under the 9-digit midget and how he demanded lower stats under a veil of terror...... get some balls, stop folding your ""square cut " pizza .....and pretening that's it's anything other than " a Chicago thing ". .

Just got word that MSNBC has expanded their coverage of this piece. As a result, it will now air on Wednesday night at 7 pm to allow more time to be devoted to it.

The Dems and the Republicans are not blameless in anything that goes on in this country.

They've both contributed to the downfall of the USA.

I can't watch MSNBC, it makes me sick.

Try watching a whole segment with Rachel Maddow - I dare you.

She is super-annoying.

Imagine her as your partner.

Stay thirsty, my friend.

Speaking of dog whistle racists. Rahm is the worst of them all. He is the architect of domestic policy that disinfranchised a generation migrants and their progenie. His views on race and immigration have evolved as much of those of the Klan. Minorities are just pawns in his quest for power.
