Alterman Breaksdown the MSNBC Heads

Hey MSNBC-TV guys. You ruined my bagel Monday morning with your full page ad.  I didn’t mind the photos—I don’t love them, but I can live with them,–but why in the world did you guys leave out the captions? Here they are, as public service:

  • Norah O’Donnell, alleged moderate, no politics
  • Pat Buchanan, nice guy, extremist conservative, proud McCarthyite, possible anti-Semite, Reagan adviser
  • Keith Olbermann, no politics
  • Chris Matthews, alleged “moderate,” hated Clinton and Gore, loved Bush, but opposed war and worked for Tip O’Neil, extremist Catholic moralist.
  • Joe Scarborough, nice guy, extremist conservative, Republican congressman
  • Peggy Noonan, extremist conservative, believer in magic dolphins, Bush worshipper, Reagan adviser
  • Howard Fineman, alleged moderate but actually voice of (mostly) conservative conventional wisdom, no politics.
