He is responding the the rally, I think Keith really wanted to be there. He realized that he looks as ridiculous as the right if he continues with the shouting and name calling. Referring to guests as an inventory of his friends. He is upset to be even compared to Beck or Limbaugh calling it a phony equivalence. But Keith, I watch you acting like a clown when you are supposed to be giving me my news. You are loud and sometimes obnoxious. Keith I assume you are not making it up but I have a problem with the way you present it. Keith you dont have to correct every lie fox tells, is your job covering Foxnews or reporting news. I don't need the dramatics or sarcasm with my news. When you start acting like a clown, I stop listening.
After listening to his conversation with Jonathan Alter I can tell neither one of them get it because they still credit msnbc as putting facts first.
