Since it came up; boycotts

Drivel. I noticed the comment but wasn't impressed by it.

I'm more interested in the idea of boycotting BP shares instead of BP stations. If fewer people invest in their company, a change in leadership may take place.

MSNBC only has boring old constitutional law professors and stuff like that. Lipstick doesn't look nearly as good on Jonathan Turley as Sarah Cupp.

Longer you forgot to mention that she is a self described atheist. Being an atheist she totally destroys the stereotype of conservatives doesn't she? A Masters degree is a Masters degree. A lot of work and study goes into getting one (what is your's in?) especially from NYU. Her Bachelor's is from Cornell. She has also worked as a journalist (you forgot to mention that) for the New York Times. Wow! She should be the biggest liberal in the world with her resume but she maintained her rationality throughout.
Longer try not to be so selective with the facts since you are the one who brought her up. Then again I guess we are now able to bring up the qualifications for Larry King, Eleanor Clift, Helen Thomas (oh yeah!), and so many others.

For the record, the great Bill Mahr (esteemed political commentator) has two degrees in English and History from Cornell (there is that school again). That is the extent of his formal education. No wonder he gets so many things wrong.

Jew hater Helen Thomas was born in Winchester "redneck" Kentucky in 1920. Yes, I have been through there several times. She only has a single unnamed Bachelor's degree while Hitler still ruled Germany.

I thought we were talking about boycotts, but if anybody wants to start a thread about who is the least qualified journalist, I'm game. Larry king , George Stephanopoulos , Keith Olbermann , Rachel Maddow ....these are headliners, with absolutely no credentials...unlike the late night contributor you picked out above (I honest to goodness don't even know her name).

I'm going to tell you a secret...don't tell anybody, now. TV news personalities typically don't get their jobs because of their academic achievements. Innocence lost.

Any conservatives you'd care to add to the list?

Just did a quick check; Keith Olbermann only has a BS (appropriate) from Cornell (that same college that Cupp got her degree) in communication arts. The degree that they teach you how to talk but not how to think. I've taken my own classes in communications at KU so I know it is more a matter of delivery than content.

Now Rachel Maddow we have to give some respect to but I'll let Monger fill in the little details.

And I am a self-described giraffe. (use the search button if you don't believe me) I think that's her reason to call herself an Atheist. Plus it helps her sell book. My guess is that's the same reason she uses initials instead of her name (S.E. Cupp instead of just Sarah Cupp like a normal person). Talk about a huge ego...hellooo?

As far as the host of TRMS, you can call her Doctor Maddow. Maybe little miss Cupp should go toe-to-toe with The Maddow and see how strong her arguments are.

Q) What famous Fox 'News' talker has a Bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Idaho?

(hint)

NOTE: This is before she became a loser and a quitter, back when she was a Who?!? LOL!

I haven't heard her chanting "Drill, Baby Drill!" lately. Hmmm...another dog that isn't barking.

Since we are no longer discussing boycotts here the thread is closed. Two pages though. That's more than I would have predicted.
