MSNBC Hosts Apparently All Work Off The Same Talking Points Memo

The other day Fargo talk radio host Scott Hennen was blasted on MSNBC three different times for an interview he did with Dick Cheney.  Once by Chris Matthews, once by Keith Olbermann and once by Rachel Maddow.  So anyone watching MSNBC during prime time that night were treated to pretty much the exact same story.  Three different times.

Since Scott is a friend (full disclosure: I’ve got a show myself on his station) I picked up on the stories.  I thought it was odd, but chalked it up to the folks at MSNBC hating Dick Cheney.  A lot.

But tonight the same thing is happening, this time with Sarah Palin and her new book.  Chris Matthews has already basically implied that she’s illiterate, and (before it’s even been written) that the book is an “embarrassment”:

Then Keith Olbermann teed off on it with a Murrowesque diatribe including making up phony, juvenile pretend titles for the book.

 

If Maddow covers this tonight, it’ll be a trifecta.

Proving that these idiots are probably all working off the same talking points.

I wonder who’s writing their scripts for them?
