ThinkingBlue: MSNBC's Locker-Room Mentality

LOCKER ROOM MENTALITY

Tell MSNBC An Apology Is Not Enough!

Below is an email I sent to MSNBC's phil.griffin@nbc.com , steve.capus@nbc.com and a comment on Feminist Peace Network

Re: David Shuster's remark about The Clinton daughter

locker-room language is still rampant on our airwaves and elsewhere but should never be allowed to go unchecked. It seems as though, if people turn a deaf ear to, this so called "colorful language" of disrespect, it continues.

I was watching Bill Maher the other night and P. J. O'Rourke said something to the effect that what Ann Coulter says at 3 in the afternoon on TV, piped into millions of viewers living rooms, is language I (O'Rourke) would use in the middle of the night, at 3am, while I was roaring drunk. That says it all! In other words, this pattern of inconsiderate thought should be kept to one's self. This type of bad behavior by anchors, writers, pundits or any, who supposedly represent segments of we-the-people, should never be deemed as normal conduct.

DAVID SHUSTER, should have known better when that misogynist thought popped into his locker-room head. The fact that he ran with it, speaks volumes about our society's inability to consider all people equal, regardless of their political, racial, gender, sexual or religious differences from ourselves.

We should expect more from our media and they should expect more from themselves.
