I am a fan of many MSNBC shows. I prefer MSNBC to the other cable what-used-to-be-news networks. But just as I criticize President Obama (whom I also support) when I think he’s headed in the wrong direction, I will not hesitate to do the same with my network of choice.

This morning I was appalled at a couple of conversations I heard on the Tee Vee Machine. Disclaimer: I was in the other room blow drying my hair and literally ran in when I heard what I am about to report to you. I may be imprecise, and I am looking for video to correct that imprecision.

However.

I have learned that weekends are not MSNBC friend. Weekdays? Yes. Weekends? Not so much. I have discovered a pattern in my Saturday morning posts that reveal a consistent eye-popping outrage whenever I flip on cable not-news on the weekends.

I’ll start with a segment on the Shirley Sherrod story (a second post on an interview with Sheriff Joe Arpaio is coming). It started out with a “packaged” video piece on Andrew Breitbart… or should I say puff piece?

The video made Breitbart out to look more like an overnight media star than the slimebally, lying piece of excrement he is.  This is the same Breitbart who posted the edited Shirley Sherrod speech on his site–a site which will now get more readers because of MSNBC’s promotion, complete with directing us to his web address– passing her off as a racist making racist statements to the racist NAACP while working for the racist Obama administration. Did you know that Breitbart now gets 40 million unique views on his amazingly popular website? What a success story!

At least that’s what the video suggested. But there was no suggestion of what a scumbag Breitbart was, not really.

The package went on to include how the smears made their way into the media all because of the amazingly amazing accomplishments of Ace Reporter Wrongy McSuperStar.

And then came the part that kneejerked me into literally running to the phone to call Paddy in a rage. They described Breitbart as being behind the “pimp” video that exposed ACORN’s fraud.

That. Exposed. ACORN’s. Fraud.

Note to MSNBC: ACORN was cleared of all wrongdoing. Totally vindicated. Allow me to quote myself:

No legal wrongdoing. None. Yet they were accused, tried, and convicted in the media, especially on ClusterFox. No matter how many posts we bloggers pumped out on their behalf, or who spoke up on the Tee Vee Machine, ACORN got the death sentence. Facts? Pfft!

This is the very definition of injustice.

And then came the punditiot part of the program featuring everyone’s favorite racist uncle, Pat Buchanan, and his Democratic counterpart, Peter Fenn.  “Oh boy!” I thought to myself, “Fenn will be all over Breitbart’s fraudulent scare-the-white-people tactics!”

Wrong.

The two of them, both Buchanan and Fenn, expounded on how the Obama administration jumped the gun and prematurely blamed Sherrod.  What buffoons! What an inept government we have! They jumped the gun, jumped the gun, jumped the gun!  And that would be fine if.

If.

IF they had said the same thing about the bottom feeder who did the original gun jumping by putting out an edited video without doing his homework. What about that, panel?

Instead, Buchanan defended Breitbart by popping out with a gem that went something like, “Well, he didn’t edit the video himself, it came to him that way.”

And nobody argued.

Let’s recap: Breitbart’s wily ways made him a household name, it’s all Obama’s fault, ACORN was guilty of fraud, and MSNBC is the place for politics.
