MSNBC on suicide watch, admits they are Obama propaganda machine

October 04, 2012

Writer

Chris Matthews was trending globally last night, but it wasn't because MSNBC was suddenly providing the best analysis on the debate. Instead, it was because he had (another) epic meltdown in response to Obama's poor performance, pretty much confirming that MSNBC is little more than the White House's propaganda machine.

"Chris Matthews was trending globally in the top five spots from his epic meltdown," Glenn said this morning on radio.

Matthews was a far different man than he was the night where he claimed he got a thrill up his leg listening to the President speak. He appeared frazzled, sad, confused. His "analysis" consisted of him simply saying that Obama should watch more MSNBC - after all, they do nothing but defend Obama's policy all day. His hair was a mess. He even appeared to have been crying off camera.

"You're admitting you're a propaganda front for the administration, and they don't mind," Glenn said.

"MSNBC wanted that debate to be about the 47% and birth control and they got none of that," Stu added. "And give credit to Lehrer on that I think to some degree and to both candidates, even Obama to some degree on this in that neither one of them seemed to go to that. They actually tried to talk about issues. Obama just lost on the issues. And man, that's refreshing."

WATCH the meltdown below:

"This is no MSNBC debate where the president was doing poorly and so we would sic ‑‑ we would take our anchors and sic them on the other guy to let Obama up and give him some air, call in the support people.

RealClearPolitics transcribed the meltdown:

“Tonight wasn’t an MSNBC debate tonight, was it?” Chris Matthews said after the first Obama-Romney presidential debate concluded on Wednesday night.
“I don’t know what he was doing out there. He had his head down, he was enduring the debate rather than fighting it. Romney, on the other hand, came in with a campaign. He had a plan, he was going to dominate the time, he was going to be aggressive, he was going to push the moderator around, which he did effectively, he was going to relish the evening, enjoying it,” Matthews said.
“Here’s my question for Obama: I know he likes saying he doesn’t watch cable television but maybe he should start. Maybe he should start. I don’t know how he let Romney get away with the crap he throughout tonight about Social Security,” Matthews complained.
Matthews then demanded that President Obama start watching cable news, specifically his program.
“Where was Obama tonight? He should watch — well, not just Hardball, Rachel, he should watch you, he should watch the Reverend Al [Sharpton], he should watch Lawrence. He would learn something about this debate. There’s a hot debate going on in this country. You know where it’s been held? Here on this network is where we’re having the debate,” Matthews said.
“We have our knives out,” Matthews said, admitting his network is trying their best to defend Obama and his policies. “We go after the people and the facts. What was he doing tonight? He went in their disarmed.”
“He was like, ‘Oh an hour and half? I think I can get through this thing. And I don’t even look at this guy.’ Whereas Romney — I love the split-screen — staring at Obama, addressing him like prey. He did it just right. ‘I’m coming at an incumbent. I got to beat him. You‘ve got to beat the champ and I’m going to beat him tonight. And I don’t care what this guy, the moderator, whatever he thinks he is because I’m going to ignore him,” Matthews said.
“What was Romney doing?” Matthews asked. “He was winning.”
“If he does five more of these nights, forget it,” Matthews added. “Obama should watch MSNBC, my last point. He will learn something every night on this show and all these shows. This stuff we’re watching, it’s like first grade for most of us. We know all this stuff.”

We are not fighting Republicans and Democrats. We are not fighting our neighbors or even the people who are trying to destroy us. We are fighting EVIL.

Glenn delivered these powerful words last June as the keynote speaker for the First Landing 1607 Project’s event, “The Declaration of Covenant," and he hit the nail on the head: we are more divided than ever as a nation.

During his speech, Glenn remarked how distinct our current division is compared to other inflection points in our nation's history. Our disagreements have moved far past the partisan debates between Democrats and Republicans. We, as Americans, can't even agree on what a man is. What a woman is. What marriage is. What gender is. Whattruthis. Because we have forgotten who God is.

We can't even agree on what truth is because we have forgotten who God is.

Glenn often harkens back to 9/11 as a rare instance of national unity. On that day weren't Republicans. We weren't Democrats. On that day, we were Americans, and we were able to unite as Americans because we had a common vision of what America is and ought to be.

We don't have that anymore.

Where does that leave us? Is there any hope of reclaiming that unity that turned colonies into states, that reconciled the North and South after years of bloodshed, that enabled us to rise from the ashes of 9/11? Glenn says that there is, and it requires us to follow in the footsteps of those who came before us.

Now it's time for us to reconsecrate that covenant.

Glenn says that we are a covenant nation. The Pilgrims and the Jamestown colonists both made their separate covenants before God, dedicating their new-found lands to his service, and these covenants were continually consecrated by our forefathers, from George Washington to Lincoln. Now it's time for us to reconsecrate that covenant.

Starting on October 5th, Glenn is launching "The First 40 Days," a 40-day study on God's covenants and how we, as a nation, can revive the covenant that our forefathers passed down to us. Featuring insights from a wide range of contributors, this study will dive into the different types of Biblical covenants, what it means to enter into a covenant with God, and how we, in our current time of division, can unify under a new covenant.

Join Glenn on this 40-day journey so that we, as Americans, can once again unify as a covenant nation. Enter your email below to get the "The First 40 Days" guide sent to your inbox on October 5th.

THESE programs would pause if the government shuts down—and it's not that bad

Over the weekend, the government avoided its 15th shutdown since 1980...for now. The short-term stop-gap spending bill gives Congress 45 days to pass a more robust budget. As Glenn explains, many Republicans and Democrats have been weaponizing the imminent shutdown to force the passage of omnibus bills, resulting in deficit spending and programs that aren't in the best interests of the American people.

But would a government shutdown be all that bad? Glenn argues that ALL taxpayers should want a shutdown. If Congress were to pass their current budget, the federal deficit would DOUBLE. What exactly would happen if Congress did not pass a massive deficit budget by October 1st? As Glenn explains, the world would NOT come crumbling down, and the government would be forced to STOP spending YOUR taxpayer dollars on projects that are harmful to the American people.

Below is a list Glenn read on-air that outlines exactly what will happen if the government shuts down.

1. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report could be delayed this month.

2.The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service will have to cut back.

3.The Federal Reserve activity will be unaffected.

4.The Federal Trade Commission will stop the vast bulk of its competition and consumer protection investigations.

5.The Security and Exchange Commission will not review or improve registrations from investment advisers, broker dealers, transfer agents, rating organizations, investment companies, and municipal advisers.

6.The IRS has not released this plan for the potential shutdown. However, previous plans have said the IRS would use funds from Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act to keep employees paid and working.

7.A shutdown would create increased risk that FEMA's relief funds could be depleted. (Though if large catastrophic disasters were to occur during the shutdown, they would very easily pass funding for that).

8.The Department of the Interior will retain limited discretion to use permits for energy projects on federal lands and waters, when user fees are attached.

9.Most EPA-led inspections at hazardous waste sites, as well as drinking water at chemical facilities, are going to stop.

10.The Energy Information Administration will continue to collect and publish snapshots of the U.S. oil inventory on schedule.

11.Nuclear Regulatory Commission will continue to maintain nuclear sites. However, they will stop all licensing of new nuclear facilities.

12.Air traffic controllers and TSA officers will be working without pay (they will be paid, just not on time).

13.Amtrak will keep transporting the estimated 12 passengers that regularly use the service.

14.Passport and visas will still be issued.

15.Efforts to defend the nation and conduct ongoing military operations will continue.

16.Burials and tours at Arlington National Cemetery will continue.

17.COVID-19 response research, including vaccine and therapeutic development by the U.S. government, will continue.

18.The National Institute of Health might have to postpone clinical trials for diseases like cancer or Alzheimer's.

19. Food stamps for low income people, the disabled, and others could be delayed.

20.Most National Parks will be closed along with the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art, Cemeteries, Monuments, and visitor centers.

21.The Capitol Police will work without pay (again, they will be paid, just not on time).

POLL: What did YOU think about the 2nd GOP presidential debate?

Wednesday was a big night for the Republican presidential candidates during the second GOP debate... OR WAS IT?

Glenn wasn't impressed with the debate. In fact, he went as far as to say it was the worst Presidential debate BY FAR he had ever seen for THIS reason: NO ONE discussed the major issues that Americans are actually facing.

Inflation has doubled Americans' grocery bills. Gas is nearing a historic record of $100/barrel. We have DOUBLED our national deficit. Bidenomics and the globalists' green agenda pose an existential threat to core American industries while we continue to fund the Ukrainian people's pensions and small businesses. It is as if our government has forgotten the American people.
