MSNBC Producer: Our Programming Is Indistinguishable From the Democrat Party; We Are Doing All We Can to Help Kamala Win; Our Audience Screams At Us If We Criticize Democrats, So Network Forbids Doing So

BREAKING: @MSNBC Producer Admits MSNBC Is 'Doing All They Can to Help' the Harris Campaign
During an undercover date with an OMG journalist, Basel Hamdan (@BaselYHamdan
), a writer and producer for MSNBC's show "Ayman," (@AymanMSNBC
) was asked what the network has done to assist the Kamala Harris campaign. Hamdan revealed on hidden camera that "what her [Harris's] message of the day is, is their message of the day," as MSNBC actively pushes Harris's narrative to help her win. He admitted that MSNBC is doing "all they can to help," Harris get elected, with the network operating as an extension of the campaign. He went on to say, "MSNBC is indistinguishable from the party," further highlighting their partisan agenda.
In discussing the relationships between the MSNBC hosts and Democratic politicians, Hamdan reveals, "The anchor and the politician are just in total agreement about everything." He adds, "If you watch an interview with a Democratic politician, they just finish each other's sentences."
Hamdan also didn't shy away from criticizing the network's audience, stating, "They've made their viewers dumber over the years," and explaining that MSNBC is "too cozy with Democratic politicians."

As if to confirm O'Keefe's reporting: MSNBC's Ari Melber had on a NeverTrumper, Ambassador Sondland, who had previously said he was a NeverTrump.

But now, with the world on fire, and Harris-Biden trying to protect poor Hamas, Hezballah, and Iran from mean Colonializer Israel, he says he's supporting Trump. He says that Harris-Biden have simply put the world in too much danger.

Ari Melber then begins shouting at him that he previously said he was NeverTrump and uh-oh, no fair, no take-backsies!

It's more of an immature tantrum that I'm describing.

Meanwhile, on "We are real news, Mr. President" CNN, this squalid cunt is pushing absolute Hezballah propaganda, claiming that Nasrallah actually agreed to a ceasefire -- secretly -- before the Evil Jews realized that would ruin their pretext for war so they quickly ordered a hit on him.

This has already been debunked by the US government, which said that Hezballah accepted no terms of any ceasefire.

But his nasty Whore for Terrorists and Tyrants has an agenda, and she will not be stopped:

Now debunked by US officials. Embarrassing that this was posted without casting a shred of doubt.

What the MSNBC producer was talking about is called "audience capture" -- when a network is forced what to cover, and what not to cover, by angry partisans in their audience who will stop watching if their demands for 100% on-message political propaganda aren't obeyed.

The leftist "news" networks showed they're all captured by the thinnest sliver of hyperpartisan leftist viewers by simply refusing to cover the Doug Emhoff allegations.

Noted firebrand Megyn Kelly slammed the "news" media for their partisanship and cowardice.

He "actually smacked an ex-girlfriend in the face, either a smack or a punch," Kelly said. "That this super guy who's redefined toxic masculinity actually beat a woman that he was dating prior to Kamala. The Daily Mail reports that he did not respond to requests for comment on the article. What does that mean? There's not even going to be a denial? I guess they'll get around to it, just an allegation right now, but let me tell you, take some time today to read that Daily Mail report, because it's incredibly detailed with several friends of the very successful attorney that he was dating, his alleged victim, going to the Daily Mail, providing records to the Daily Mail, speaking in great detail about the call that the abuse victim alleged [sic] made to them after he smacked her in front of other people, in front of French valets over there in Cannes, France."

An absolute gold mine.

If they had any sense, they would be running a "Springtime For Hitler" news operation, which pretends to support Kamala, while subtly doing everything possible to undermine her and get Trump elected.

26 And this willowed post deserves a repost.

For your afternoon entertainment, via LegalInsurrection, I present James Carville, who is losing his shit over this election:

According to a source who was on a Harris-Walz campaign training call attended by veteran campaign strategist James Carville, Carville went absolutely BALLISTIC yelling expletives at two young Democrat staffers, including @0liviajulianna who works for the Collin Allred Senate campaign.

The fiery barrage of insults included “dumb fat b*tch” directed at Julianna, and “out of touch fag*ots” began when the young staffers presented Carville with some social media videos they’ve been working on to appeal to White male voters. Carville was not impressed by any of them, saying they lacked substance.

When a visibly shaken gay male staffer told Carville he needed to apologize for using the F word, Carville told him to take his camo hat and shove it up his ass before leaving the call.

32 Blast, got willowed, but important information:

In the jobs numbers released today, government workers accounted for 785K, and private employers accounted for 133K. That is a lot of government jobs created in a month. Why would they fake government jobs?

So they don't trigger the Sahm Rule. This rule means that if they didn't plug in those government jobs, unemployment would be at 4.5 percent instead of 4.1, and it would be an admission that the US is officially in recession.

Do you think those government jobs were actually filled in September, or they plugged in a number to avoid announcing the recession a month out from the election?

Gay men are present in a lot of fields like politics (behind the scenes as well as closeted up front) and infotainment in part because a lot of them have notch counts that reach well over any Lothario bedding women.

Networking in other words. That statistic is often what makes them so vulnerable to honeypot traps.

Lesbians, on the other hand, are probably a safer risk because they do not show the same tendencies to try to bed everything they can see.

It's a story from a few weeks ago. Tarantino categorizes movie stars similarly to how I do: Do they open a movie at the box office? Are they worth their pay?

It's obvious as shit that Clooney doesn't. He's a media creation, their Platonic ideal of a movie star, but they can't make him into one in actuality.

Verboten may have been too broad, and yes, it was likely used to control people. Nevertheless, they faced - and IMO, justifiable - increased scrutiny. Until 1995, when Executive Order 12968 was signed by Clinton, changing longstanding policy, even if not explicitly written policy.

99 Federal agencies used the sexual perversion criteria in the early 1950s to categorize homosexuals as security risks and separate them from government service. Agencies could deny homosexual men and women employment because of their sexual orientation until 1975, when the Civil Service Commission issued guidelines prohibiting the government from denying employment on the basis of sexual orientation.\3 The guidelines, which further define the provisions of Executive Order 10450, resulted from court decisions requiring that persons not be disqualified from federal employment solely on the basis of homosexual conduct. Although the public policy change resulted in the restrictions against employment of homosexuals being lifted, the guidance for granting security clearances to homosexuals remained generally vague or restrictive until the early 1990s. Appendix II contains a synopsis of key court decisions pertaining to sexual orientation and the security clearance process.

Probably drinking water is my guess. Ingestion might be a second. But when you get to parts per billion or trillion, it becomes difficult, if not impossible to figure out just where it came from.

Too much of the scare research by different supposedly public interest groups always use the LNT (linear and no threshold) premise.

Linearity No Threshold is definitely not true for some pretty odd things in nature like exposure to radiation or even things that might be considered poisons. The size of the dose matters a lot in such matters.

Glyphosate is said to be used as a "drying agent" which means they spray it on nearly mature grain crops to kill the plant and leave the grain heads ready to be harvested. This also kills the weeds and preps the field to be tilled under and planted. It is also used in field prep in the spring. They also use it for spraying fencelines and roads, and there is always a concern on overspray.
I use it for spraying roads myself, and my wife doesn't like it, but it works on the blackberries where nothing else much will.

I’m not up on that kind of “music” but there’s a great scene in Two and a Half Men where Jake is dating the next door neighbor’s daughter… he’s a huge former NFL player. Huge man knocks on Charlie’s door miffed that his daughter is late getting home. Charlie calls Jake…. Jake’s phone is sitting right there and the ring tone is “bitch I’m gonna slap you up…” the ensuing awkwardness and panic on Charlie’s part is quite funny. The huge NFLer stands and glares….

For fun, using the same dataset, almost 100 percent of the sample had .28 micrograms per liter of arsenic in their urine which is much greater than the glycophosphate concentration in the urine.

If Kamala loses, 50 quatloos on her divorcing Doug before the end of 2025. She only needed a husband for lifestyle money and respectability for her POTUS ambition. I am confident she conned him (you know how) into a pre-nup giving her a large percentage of Doug's wealth in case of divorce or his death.

I was worried until I checked the RCP average for that race this morning. It’s a solid Cruz +5…. Of course he should win by double digits but I think Allred’s actual chances to win are minuscule. Seeing Trump at the top of the ticket only makes it more of a lock for Cruz

There’s no denying however that Cruz is not popular. One of these cycles he’s gonna run into an opponent and set of circumstances that’ll have him losing….. maybe Trump will put him on SCOTUS in his 2nd term and Ken Paxton can take his place. Though Paxton as guv is probably better

In a word, expense and consent problems for a blood draw.

What happens is the public interest/CDC/university grant/ state and fedgov policymaking/corporate complex does is something similar to the ozone scare and banning CFCs. So the EPA/CDC/etc floats the raw numbers and the scare stories are ginned up by the interest groups and corporations often fund this activity in order to gain a competitive edge, sell an alternative 'safer' product but ban the generic one, and so on.

They rely on people being scientifically illiterate and scare tactics by misusing epidemiology studies that do not have meaningful statistical controls nor any actual guidance on what IS a safe level. Microplastics is another scare tactic.

In reality, most of us will die from rather simple nasty facts-diabetes related from overconsumption of sugar, being overweight from eating more and doing less activity which increases diabetic and heart disease risk, substance abuse, living gansta etc

Everyone of them was put in place by the powerful because they were good people who followed the Democrat Way Unthinkingly.

Trump on the other hand was a rich, accomplished, celebrity who pushed his way to the front of the line and didn't even have the good grace to recognize his Democrat betters, or, and this may be worse, his lame-ass GOPe lapdog Democrat-flunky betters.

275 I don't use any kind of weed killers at all (just domestic backyard landscaping and gardening, certainly not production agriculture). I embrace weeds. Weeds are good. Their roots add more to the soil food web than they take away. They cover the soil and act as a self healing green mulch. If they get too out of hand, you can chop and drop or just toss them into the compost.

There's simply no way to do that on a commercial scale though, yet. Not easily or with any kind of guarantee. Some farms are coming close. Living Soil as a principle for large-ish acreage is starting to become economically feasible, little glimmers of success here and there. But Sri Lanka found out the hard way that you can't do it all at once. Someone has to bear the loss of sacrificing a few years of growing to convert a plot from chemical based farming to living soil.

278 Colin Allred is winning-over voters because he played in the NFL? Might be, but I never heard of him. His stats indicate he was a third-string linebacker and not a regular special teams player.

"Allred was signed by the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent following the 2006 NFL draft on May 4, 2006. He was waived on August 29 but re-signed on January 26, 2007. Allred was waived again on September 1 during final cuts and signed to the practice squad on September 2.

He was promoted to the active roster as linebacker on December 15 and made his NFL regular season debut on December 16, 2007. In four seasons for the Titans between 2007 and 2010, Allred appeared in 32 games and recorded 46 tackles."

So, he appeared in half of the Titans' games over four seasons. Averaged less than 1.5 tackles per game he appeared in. At linebacker.

Pass on that stainless steel will deactivate glyphosate. If you have a stainless tank on your sprayer, or a stainless nozzle, or even if the weight on the hose keeping it at the bottom will deactivate it overnight.
Monsanto didn't want to admit to that but they got a lot of complaints from the local farmers who splurged and got stainless spray rigs.

Per Bobby Jr, the home and garden sprays took out the glyphosate too, that might be part of it.

Naturalistic fallacy example. Arsenic levels in water come up from time to time as the Mountain West reliance on wells and surface waters have a higher than normal skew on arsenic in drinking water.

Unlike Roundup, we know arsenic is poisonous in a number of ways. But, if we do not know the 'safe' level of arsenic in drinking water, it is a lot harder to assess the effects of a more diluted Roundup present in urine.

Too many people assume what is natural is good and what is man made is bad. That is the naturalistic fallacy. Basically, we are all doomed to die and in most cases, it is our own damn behavior that speeds us to the grave (along with a malicious government).

42% concentration diluted 1:1 with water would be 21% concentration. Second would be 10.5%. Third would be 5.25%.

1 quart 42% concentration diluted with 7 quarts water would get you to 5.25%.

291 What the MSNBC producer was talking about is called "audience capture" -- when a network is forced what to cover, and what not to cover, by angry partisans in their audience who will stop watching if their demands for 100% on-message political propaganda aren't obeyed.

This is the problem that dooms CNN. A long time ago it was the "go to" source for breaking news for pretty much everyone. Then its leftist bias began culling out the right-leaning viewers, leaving it with an audience composed entirely of barely-conscious old people and leftist fever-swampers.

It eventually realized that this audience was tiny, so it hired Chris Licht to try to swing the network back to a more or less balanced presentation. This attracted almost no normies, but it did piss off the fever-swampers, who began to leave in droves. (Okay, small droves since there weren't many to begin with.)

In a panic, CNN threw Licht overboard and brought back such luminaries as The Potato to try to salvage its position with the left-wing loonies before they all decamped to MSNBC. (At least those people buy walk-in tubs and pre-lubed catheters after all.)

So CNN just continues in its death spiral.

If you meant the old formulation with glyphosate only killed leaves, that's not correct.

Roundup, or glyphosate is a systemic weed killer. This means that the chemical is absorbed through the leaves and is distributed systemically throughout the plant, thus killing it. This is in contrast with some weed killers like paraquat which kill only the leaves which are sprayed

There was a brief kerfluffle about arsenic and drinking water levels during the Bush years. Dems claimed Bush wanted to poison people in the West by refusing to lower the level permitted in municipal and private drinking water.

Even there, I don't think LNT has been established via arsenic and it would be damned difficult to get controlled studies of people to determine that.

We banned arsenic pressure treated wood years ago because of concerns it could leach into water supplies and kids might somehow consume it via dirty hands, licking it or some other absurd reasoning.

One of the big selling points of Roundup is that it does not persist in the soil, and it naturally breaks down in the soil quite rapidly. It enters the plants through pores in the leaves, and only affects plants that are actively growing.

The reason that the Usual Suspects attack Roundup is that it is too good at what it does, and helps increase farm productivity. Can't have that, can we?

Posted by: Archimedes
======
You are talking to an old farmboy here plus practical use. What roundup does is disrupts the photosynthesis uptake from the leaves--not root function normally. Different formulations sometimes add root killers compounds (usually trichlorpyr and sold as 'brush' or 'poison ivy' killer but Roundup itself has little to no effect unless you doused the plants with it on root uptake of water, etc.

So you can apply it comfortably on leaves of weeds while leaving roots of desired plants alone.

It is a very weak root killer by itself which is why it does poorly at killing pernicious cane type weeds like blackberries, ivy in general including poison ivy, etc. Adding a rootkiller to the formulation makes it much more effective as both root function and photosynthesis can be disrupted.

It may be essential in micro-amounts for humans too, but since it is ubiquitous in the environment, it is probably impossible to determine.

I think it binds to the same channels as Potassium, and more strongly, so toxic amounts block cellular and nerve functions that rely on the Potassium channel.

Old wood is denser as commercial forests have moved to faster growing varieties and the downside is much softer wood. Second, fully dried old lumber often lasts longer outside initially because the moisture has to penetrate the center all over again.

The new pressure treated wood is best covered by stains/sealant when the surface is dry enough to do so.
