Why PBS banned me

by Melanie Morgan

WorldNetDaily: Why PBS banned me

We are losing our rights to freedom of speech due to partisanship and political correctness.

What happened here to Melanie Morgan is similar in principle to what's happening in Iraq where Sunnis don't trust Shiites to act fairly and vice versa.
 

Yeah, ummm...I was interested until I saw that it was from WorldnetDaily. For some reason, I just couldn't bring myself to bother once I realized that...
 

Or, just maybe the neo-cons are asshats and America is collectively sick of them.

Haha! That's pretty clever/funny. Because you OBVIOUSLY know you are lampooning the politically intolerant by saying that! :mrgreen:

Even better, you provide a perfect segue. Here, from the same link:

Yeah, ahh...Worldnet...I still can't get past that.

I just don't get it. What? Does one have to be a prick in order to be a card carrying neocon? I mean, politics aside, these people usually act like a-holes. Is it something in the water? Genetics?
 
bhkad can talk about it, but y'all should actually watch the clip. Dude was speaking and she became unhinged.

PBS is looking for people who can speak respectfully. Morgan doesn't. It isn't about right vs left. Maybe cable news shows love that sort of stuff, but PBS doesn't.

Oh, so you support partisan censorship based on personal political orientation?

:shock:

Is that how a real conservative responds?

No, that is how the Sunni & Shia act in Iraq.

:screwy

BS. the woman was barred from returning to the program because of her personal demeanor.

question for you: do all right-wingers get banned from PBS, or just the ones that act like Melanie?

I'm sure Sean Hannity and his ilk will have no problems hosting a loud mouth that can't keep her mouth shut while the other guest is talking. Which is why I don't wach those types of shows.

I applaud PBS for keeping the Ann Coulter's out of my living room. You call it censorship - I call it targeting demographics.
 

Check out what happened when the very same guy was on Hannity and Colmes. A far right whacko congressman jumps all over the guy, interrupting him exactly the way Melanie Morgan did and then afterwards, Hannity himself does it too!

PBS is a leftist/liberal media organization when it is funded by ALL Americans and should equally reflect ALL points of view.

I'm going to start a new thread on this subject:

 

they are asshats. each and every one of them.

And Hannity is the worst of the bunch. Yes, you have to be a complete jerk to be a neo-con. It's a prerequisite.

The entertainment industry censors content. They choose based on who they think their viewers want to see. You have to be an idiot to not understand this fact.

TRANSLATION: I'm going to spout generalizations about the entity as a whole because when I speak about this specific matter I lose terribly in light of the facts.

I'm going to start a new thread on this subject:

TRANSLATION: I'm going to run away with my tail between my legs to escape you people and start over where maybe I'll win next time.
 

Whatchya wanna bet that Soltz will never appear on Hannity and Colmes again? Whatchya wanna bet Soltz doesn't care or doesn't whine?

No he didn't. He said he appreciated PBS keeping the Ann Coulters out of his living room. I appreciate any station that keeps Ann Coulters out of my living room. I even turn off Hannity and Colmes and The O'Reilly Factor when she is a guest.

It isn't about partisanship. It is about not wanting to be subjected to the bipolar rantings of an irrelevant hate-monger. That's why the ignore feature works so well around here, too.
 
bhkad, since you know so much about global jihad, I just challenged you in the True Debate section. Why don't you accept and pick global jihad/Islam as your topic? I'd love to debate that with you.
 
Oh, so if the Conservatives took over the media
Get with the program. the media are plural. the media are lots of things. the media are various. and I'm thankful for that.

you'd appreciate them controlling who you could and couldn't see & hear on your TV in your living room in your home?
what does this have to do with a specific loudmouth woman on one show on one day? yes, I do appreciate that I don't have to hear her speak on the news hour. I'm glad that the news hour has other Conservatives on. this fact seems lost on you.

I see you edited that part out. Good thing, too.
what part?

Except we already saw how you really feel. You said you appreciated the liberal TV Masters keeping Ann Coulter out of your TV set.
um, check again, that wasn't me. but I do agree, seeing as how Ann is a dumbass.

for you it appears to be only about ideology. for me, it's about hearing rational people relay logical ideas that have a factual basis in reality. David Brooks is a rightie and he's on the news hour all the time. I appreciate that. I disagree w most everything he says but I like hearing him saying it. Cindy Sheehan is a leftie, and hellfire, I'm sure as **** glad she's not on the news hour all the time. make sense? I doubt it, to you, but there it is.
 

Tail between the legs, huh? Heh. In the animal world the Alpha Dog will sometimes show his dominance over lesser male dogs in the pack by humping them.


Now, assume the position and take this.

Well, assume the position.
LOL. so Melanie was lying, and is lying. thanks for correcting yourself, and her.
 
:spin: :roll:
explain, if you're able.

what is a debate, in your opinion? little cute icon pictures and slogans?
