Don, I knew you would bring up Iraq. Seems like that's going to be the liberal "I get to do anything I want" pass from now on. Because without that excuse, you would NEVER be able to advocate throwing $50B into the bailout of a city, especially a city that crumbled not under a natural disaster, but under decades of corrupt Democrat leadership.

>> Now we should have given a task force of our best urban types $50 Bn, peanuts to what we blew on Iraq, Peanuts compared with what the Nitwit-In-Chief blew on the stimulus as well, which might have been spent productively in Detroit. But the reality is that money cannot help that city. Bankruptcy is a symptom.

Where civility goes to die: MRC's Bozell: Which Vile Character Assassin Will MSNBC Hire to Replace Bashir?

By NB Staff | December 4, 2013 | 16:36

On November 15, NewsBusters posted a video of MSNBC host Martin Bashir’s disgusting remarks that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin should be the victim of a particularly vile slave-era punishment – specifically that she should be forced to consume excrement. The video went viral, and today a disgraced Bashir announced his resignation from the Comcast-owned cable "news" network.

This afternoon, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell issued the following statement in reaction:

The question here isn’t whether or not MSNBC will dispense with the hateful rhetoric it shamelessly peddles as ‘news.’

The question is: Which vile character assassin will NBC/Comcast recruit to replace Martin Bashir? MSNBC is an absolute laughingstock. If you're not apologizing for your insults (Ed Schultz), you're resigning because of them (Bashir). And if you’re not smart enough to resign, they have to fire you (Alec Baldwin).

NBC is the network where civility goes to die. And Comcast: You own that indecency.

... They don't do news at MSNBC any more. They just do propaganda. And you can only attack your ideological enemies so long before you find yourself in the realm of hate speech as Bashir did.I hope this event will help Comcast come to understand how deeply Griffin and his cynical programming strategy have damaged the brand of NBC News and the network in general.

You can fire 10 Bashirs and issue 20 phony "respected colleagues" PR statements, and it won't start to repair the harm you've done to what NBC News once stood for.
