While searching for a laugh, I recently perused the onscreen guide displaying information about television programs airing now and in the future on my cable system. Because there is currently only one situation comedy worthy of my eyes, I was forced to look elsewhere. Of course I immediately turned to America's number one cable news network: MSNBC.
"Only a handful of people watch MSNBC, how could they be number one?" you ask.
They are at the top of their game at creating unintentional comedy. Though it's not their goal; every host, contributor and guest is laugh out loud funny.
According to my onscreen guide, MSNBC personality Chris Matthews "moderates hard-hitting debates on key political issues." That same onscreen guide informed me that Fox News host Glenn Beck "provides an unconventional look at the news."
I suppose my onscreen guide defines "debate" as, "with a beet red face and thinning hair askew, shouting down anyone with whom you disagree." And it appears as if that same guide defines an "unconventional" person as someone who, "Believes America is on the decline because its people are straying from God and the Constitution."
Like liberals wish to do with "marriage", it looks like my onscreen guide is changing definitions based on its own political philosophy.
It's amusing how radical leftists are viewed as mainstream, while typical conservatives are considered far-right kooks.
Yahoo! News routinely insinuates stories, written and distributed by the uber-left Huffington Post website, are regular ole news stories. Funny how Yahoo! doesn't trick everyone into reading radio rants of Rush Limbaugh by transcribing his words and pretending they were formulated by unbiased reporters.
I no longer get angry at discovering extreme left-wingers are attempting to manipulate the general public, but do find it hysterical that even my onscreen cable guide tries to persuade everyone into believing that radical Democrats, who throw-up in their mouths a little bit whenever a right-winger speaks, enjoy robust debate, while conservatives calling for lower taxes and expanded freedom are "unconventional."
