Revealed: MSNBC is "Official Obama Network," Says Disappointed Former Producer

I know you all are still reeling from this mind-ripping disclosure, so I'll play some comforting music to let adjust to the strange new reality you find yourselves in.

Okay, if that didn't do it, play it seven or eight times until your brain heals.

Now that you've recovered, here's your informational LSD.

When it comes to issues of U.S. militarism and spying, the allegedly “progressive” MSNBC often seems closer to the “official network of the Obama White House” than anything resembling an independent channel. With a few exceptions (especially Chris Hayes [10]), MSNBC has usually reacted to expanded militarism and surveillance by downplaying the abuses or defending them.

Had McCain or Romney defeated Obama and implemented the exact same policies, treating whistleblowers like Manning and Snowden as foreign espionage agents, one would expect MSNBC hosts to be loudly denouncing the Republican abuses of authority.

I see many of you are still too stunned to even comment "first." One guy apparently just had a seizure and commented, "HGOH{RU NQ{)UT_{U{)ON U NP(GIH." Another guy's all like "Aaaagggh!" like Mr. Book just psi-slammed him in Dark City.

So for those of you still trying to put the pieces of your soulpatterns back into working order, here's the nonthreatening musical stylings of Don "No Soul" Simmons.

More: It's a Father-Son MSNBC tag-team on Glenn Greenwald.

An MSNBC reporter's dad, who claims to be part of some "peacenet" dealio but who seems to be flacking in favor of Obama's spy state, criticized Greenwald, and Greenwald criticized back.

Then MSNBC reporter jumped in to say "f*** you" to Greenwald, but he didn't say it with like asterisks, he used Grown Up Language.
