Cut wages to spend more on lobbying. Send jobs to Foreign lands of cheap labor to save money to spend on Rush and the propaganda control machine.<br /><br />And you thought cutting $800 billion from health care is to make it better.<br /><br />It gets expensive to promote and sustain Morning Joe, Rush Limp-Paw, Sykes, Brooks, the entire republican party. They finally succeeded (post Citizens United) to cut out the middle man. As Trump is the first of much worse crazy wealthy individuals with lives disconnected from reality (Betsy Devos) to take their rightful royal places at the throne and rule over the slob masses.<br /><br />As fiscal conservative accountants suggest to their wealthy customers. It is very much more fiscally responsible to "their" bottom line. To provide tax cuts, which frees money (not theirs) to use for their endeavors to promote and propagandize a base they can point to and rely to further their ideology of protecting "their wealth and way of life" not anyone else<br /><br />It is why GOP candidates always have more cash flow for their candidates to get into what they call the lying media, and use that lying media to (guess what) Lie.!. hard to compete in election campaign cash flows with these billionaires.<br /><br />Election coming, give them a tax cuts. Five them American government money to fund their elections.Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-60013775599348919442017-06-20T12:18:30.907-05:002017-06-20T12:18:30.907-05:00Soooo...the man who owes his entire career to the ...Soooo...the man who owes his entire career to the last time Republicans lost the White House in November of 1992 and the Federal government switched from being a stalwart, benevolent big brother that should be unquestioningly followed to an evil, plotting, untrustworthy, stooge of unwashed brown masses and internationalist intellectuals out to get God fearing wholesome White People!!!! demands we watch out for the guy who owes his entire career to most recent Republican stance switch on government that started in November of 2008? <br /><br />To sports metaphor it, is Mr. Sykes just being the rapidly aging veteran who just watched his team draft his replacement? trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718897286384990852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-49956057560993361212017-06-20T11:51:57.018-05:002017-06-20T11:51:57.018-05:00Robt - you're totally right.

The image that always pops into my head when I see or hear Charlie Sykes is that of Dr. Frankenstein desperately chasing his monster across the ice floes of the Arctic. It's too late, Charlie, the monster you've worked on for so long is alive and marauding across the countryside, and no amount of rhetorical running is going to let you escape the fact that you helped create it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168878673861899447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-6633395136995112222017-06-20T10:43:30.863-05:002017-06-20T10:43:30.863-05:00Shorter Charlie Sykes: "I willingly made mys...Shorter Charlie Sykes: "I willingly made myself a slave to power and money, and I'm hurt that it treated me like a ni-"*CLANG!*<br /><br />Also, driftglass...you might want to take a long walk after today's Brooks column.

He complained on The Last Word that his hate radio fed listeners he fed hate to. Their hungered appetite was to great for him to feed. That the listeners of his hate no longer was the appetite for hate fulfilled by him. Sure, Charlie was aware of the insatiable hunger that demanded more feeding. Increasing the daily allowances sufficed for a while. With the known risk. The risk that the hate content was not satisfying the hunger. Sykes admitted how he tried and they turned on him. Him! <br />As Frankenstein began to act on his own and refused to follow directions. Realizing his own power. Turned on the Good doctor in the end and took him to his ill gotten fate. In the book, many a pitchfork it took to rein in the Doctors creation. One with a life of its own and unregulated in the free market of stitched together corpses body parts acting together as a school of Piranha.<br />But Sykes was well read of the book of Frankenstein. He read it to the end and knew the conclusion. So he used this as a resume to escapes humility forced on him by the beast he created.<br /><br />Dr Sykes must now survive without his team of Igors. <br />Of course sykes used his foolish ghoulish following as long as he could. They were his resume to move up into the Conservative funded world of Morning Joes.<br />With all the accusing of every voter and every liberal getting a paid monthly check for their soul.<br />It is in fact the right. FOX, hate Radio who are paid by the wealth of this country to shun the left from working in the media industry. They cannot compete El Rushbo claims. <br />It has been reported that big right wing wealth has been propping the net sites of right wing hate. Mr Mercer who owns Breitbart? Do the Koch prop up InforWars? There is reports that these sites were involved with Russians during election. Believable, sure scorch burn your own child for profit.<br /><br />I have heard Sykes serving up his hate on his radio show. A very polite progressive calls in. Sykes who takes his call on air, only to be the unwelcoming host that trashes the guy. So when I watch Sykes the first couple of times on the last Word. It actually bothered me that Lawrence as the Host was very gracious to Sykes as his guest.<br /><br />Which bring to mind<br /><br />is there a difference Between Dharma and Karma. That applies.<br /><br />Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58966967250446833762017-06-20T00:17:22.185-05:002017-06-20T00:17:22.185-05:00If this op-ed appeared before this morning, one mi...If this op-ed appeared before this morning, one might suspect Charlie Sykes was carrying the NBC networks' water by providing a rationale for watching Megan Kelly's Alex Jones interview Sunday night; i.e., "It's dangerous to ignore people like Alex Jones, so tune in." One established news operation washes the hand of the other. And lest we forget, remember how quick MSNBC has been to let someone from the Times come on air to "explain" the paper's position without anyone to challenge it to their face?VonWenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268079634773508354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-84080228506842425802017-06-19T20:40:53.955-05:002017-06-19T20:40:53.955-05:00THANK you Driftglass!
