This is precisly why the Media should NOT be allowed to manipulate the news for political posturing.
Rupert Murdoch Gone Wild is what is about to happen to the American concept of freedom of the press,
I own the press, I'm free to to with it what I see fit.
Follow the Sheep - or run free with the Lemings.

BS, if people want to shoot their mouth off then they should be prepared to suffer the consequences.
MCI is the new/old name for WorldCom. The last thing they want is more publicity.
But the two media outlets that are mouthpieces of the right are no better than the likes of Jerry Springer; spouting sensationaslism, with a legion of lemmings doing their biddings. Fox News and MSNBC are in a race to the bottom.
I hope CNN or the BBC never scoop to that level.

Conservatives think this is great until one of the people who spouts out their hate-filled jingoism is fired. Then, it'll be a "travesty."
He should be fired. Remember, as the AT members like to say, freedom of speech does not mean you can get away with saying what you believe.
And you have the freedom in this country to grandstand and ask people to write in to MSNBC to have Scarborough removed. And if you accomplish that, people who disagree with you have the freedom to...
"extreme political views"??? (quoted from the article) little help here?
apparently, mr. conservative thinks that anyone who doesn't agree with
his political/social ideas should be labeled as having "extreme political
views".
i believe that some of these so-called news shows are being driven at
least partially by either the administration or american intelligence to try
to herd people into a way of thinking.....if not, they are attempts at
outright brainwashing...
"fair and balanced"? my ass.

Freedom of Speech does not mean you should say what you want, just that you can. If your wife comes to you asking if she looks fat in a new dress and you think she does and say so, Freedom of Speech won't mean s**t when you're sleeping on the couch for a week.

This wouldn't be our good Republican Conservitive friend Joe from Florida would it.
The one who uses his entire writing staff to launch a campaign from his mindless
viewers to call MCI and demand as Joe's proxy to remove someone that Joe didn't
like, and think that they were thinking enouogh Republican thoughts.
People - I don't think that much of Glover, but that's pure political manipulation whay Joe did.
He is using his podium to manipulate anything that fall outside of the Pro-Bush mindset.
You better think about it real hard, and understand the consequences of what he did and is bragging about.

To those of you who are bent out of shape over the firing of Danny Glover because of what he said, did I hear the same being said about John Rocker? After all, like Glover, he was just exercising his right to Freedom of Speech.
While it's always fun to bash FOX, I believe Scarborough Country is a show on MSNBC.
I agree on your highlighting the term "extreme political" views. Having such is not an act of Satan. Are we expected to have conformist political views at all times? Of course not. That said, comparing American troops to terrorists and endorsing the tyrant Castro are pretty nuts. But Glover's entitled to his opinion.
Danny Glover can't shoot his mouth off but Joe Scarborough can. That is BS. Some jackass abusing freedom of the press to report his perverse opinions and passing it off as news to limit someone elses right to speek his mind freely. Danny Glover should beat that guy down for screwing him over... I know I would do just that if someone got me fired that way.
Why is that so wrong? I bet there were Iraqi citizens that believed the same thing. An "unprovoked" attack on the nation of Iraq seems pretty terroristic to me. Of course, for me to believe the US army are terrorists I would have to think that the war in Iraq is a bad thing. I don't think annexing more territory through military might is a bad thing, I just wish we had the balls to do just that.
Scarborough is a loudmouth Limbaugh wannabe, and he can kiss my rosey red ass. As good a reason to avoid MSNBC entirely as I could imagine. :disgust:

If MCI disagrees with Danny's politics they have EVERY FVCKING RIGHT to end his role as their spokesperson.
Whiners need to realize that freedom of speech does NOT mean freedom from social consequence. People have the right to disagree with you, and refuse to associate with you.
There is no "dangerous precedent" here. In fact, if MCI was blocked from letting Glover go, THAT would be a dangerous precedent.
And finally, people have EVERY right to organize letter or call-in campaigns protesting something or someone.
Huh? Because I believe in truth and honesty I am naive? I may not say what the woman wants to hear, but I will answer her question truthfully or not answer it at all.
