Al Sharpton: MSNBC’s Next Failure

MSNBC hit a new low last week when it debuted a talk show featuring Al Sharpton as host. Subsequently, the network changed its advertising slogan to, “We’ve fallen and we can’t get up.”

Sharpton? Really? Is that the best that liberal “journalism” can offer? If you come from New York, then you have not-so-fond memories of Al Sharpton, publicity hound extraordinaire, standing in the subway tracks and leading a dopey demonstration, Al Sharpton convulsing the city with his Tawana Brawley infatuation, and Al Sharpton parading with a medallion around his neck only smaller than the Fortuna wall clock that Flavor Flav wears.

This is a man whose opinions are worth listening to?

In fairness to MSNBC, anybody trying to do liberal talk radio is playing a losing hand. Michael Medved said it best many years ago when he was talking about Michael Jackson, the preeminent voice of liberal talk radio whose erudite, entertaining, and eminently fair show aired weekday mornings on KABC in Los Angeles. As Medved said, if Michael Jackson (the talk show host, not the singer) couldn’t draw an audience, no one in liberal talk radio can.

And that’s the problem. Conservatives pretty much sing from the same hymnal. There are a handful of issues that most conservatives agree on–limited government, opposition to unions, controlling the border, that sort of thing.

  1. A great example of liberal "smart ideas"!!??

  2. Only a fool would be on the left wing fool's network.. Ever noticed that most of these fools on MSNBC need a complete facelift.. When will they ever learn that those who always point the racial finger are the biggest raciest of all.. This guy happens to be the leader of the pack..

  3. MSNBC's Sharpton and all the others there know the Gravy train is gone…no more fooling and betraying the public. Career politicians need to go rest somewhere because they showed themselves to be inept, careless and reckless with our Christian Nation. Their shame will be legendary.

  4. States righter says:

    The reverand al sharpton is the biggest racist going.

  5. Al Sharpton is not only one of the most corrupt in Congress, but he is also Racist. Fits right in with this Obama administration.

  6. NBC asked for the low ratings by putting a show as that out. We will get the Jessie Jackson hour next I guess.

  7. Here is a video of a future Democratic voter. Maxine Waters Al Sharpton and Louis Farakhann would be proud of this kid and his parents! As Barack Obama told all of us, "Republicans to the rear of the bus"!!!!!

    REV. AL SHARPTON ALONE STATED THE TAWANA BARWLEY JOKE. YOU GO TO A BURGER AND WHEN THE ASK YOU WHAT YOU WANT ON THE BURGER YOU TELL THEM PUT IT IN A BAG A THROW ALL KINDS OF SHIT ON IT. EVERY TIME SHARPTON OPENS HIS MOUTH MORE BS COMES OUT. HE MARCHED WITH ALL THE PIE HOLES ALONG WITH CUOMO THE HOMO.

  9. Fannie Lou says:

    No MSNBC in our home until Sharpton is gone. What a racist!!!

  10. I really enjoyed watching MSNBC over the years howerver, for this network to even think of a show with Al Sharpton is crazy. Al Sharpton is your typical white people hater with a fake theology degree from a diploma mill. This man is the most racist individual next to Jesse Jackson and Louis Farakan. He speaks with no intelect and proves nothing but his hate for the white man. I will no longer be watching MSNBC. Take this racist off the air and let him crawl back under the rack he came from.

    Now MSNBC Has A New Cartoon Character Albert The Great Speaker For All Trash-Talk Sharpton Fans, Oh I Can Hardly Wait For His Show, Should Fit In With All The "Funny People" Without Brains On MSNBC. God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots, ABO.
