92% want Buchanan on MSNBC

92 percent of voters in an online poll conducted by Mediabistro.com want Patrick J. Buchanan to be able to go on MSNBC to discuss his New York Times Best Seller, Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?

Color of Change, a left-wing organization with eight known members, has been calling for MSNBC to muzzle Buchanan, the former advisor to three U.S. Presidents, because of his book. The poll results indicate that the Color of Change Censorship Campaign has backfired.

Mediabistro.com, which runs the TV Newser website, asked readers yesterday, “Should Pat Buchanan be allowed on MSNBC to talk about his book?” As of 3:15 p.m. EST today, 92 percent of respondents said yes, while only a mere 5 percent said no.

According to Michael Calderone of The Huffington Post, an unnamed MSNBC Executive has told him that MSNBC made a “conscious decision” not to have Buchanan on air to promote his book. The allegation has been disputed.

Buchanan Banned from MSNBC?

UPDATE: Visit our latest blog post: 92% want Buchanan on MSNBC.

The Huffington Post's Michael Calderone and his leftist pals are spreading a smear: Buchanan has been banned from MSNBC.

While Patrick J. Buchanan is off his regular gig at MSNBC so that he can promote his New York Times Best Seller, Suicide of a Superpower, Calderone, taking his lead from anti-Catholic bigots and left-wing loud mouths, is regurgitating an unverified, false claim.

And now TV Newser's Managing Editor has been duped.

Chris Ariens (pictured) writes, "An MSNBC executive told HuffPo's Michael Calderone that there had been a conscious decision not to have Buchanan on air because of the views expressed in the book..."

But if Ariens had read Calderone's revised posting, he'd note Buchanan has been on air AFTER his book launch. In addition, MSNBC declined to comment on the matter according to Calderone's same blog post.

So our question, who is this so-called "MSNBC executive?"  Why isn't Ariens verifying with his reliable sources at MSNBC and instead relying on the unreliable Calderone?

As sloppy and lazy as Calderone is, sadly Ariens has matched or exceeded his pal's slothfulness.

HuffPo's Calderone: A Lazy and Sloppy Journalist

Yesterday's post by Michael Calderone on The Huffington Post website was erroneous. Feeding right from the bosom of left-wing bigots and not checking his facts before the story posted, Calderone proved he is a lazy journalist. Calderone, who wrongly wrote that Patrick J. Buchanan hadn't been on MSNBC since his best seller Suicide of a Superpower had been launched, was forced to post a correction.

Worse is Calderone's sloppy but revealing Tweets.

When his story first posted, Calderone tweeted, "MSNBC's kept Pat Buchanan off air since controversial book dropped -- some groups hope for good."

With Calderone acknowledging that MSNBC declined to comment on his story, how can he declare MSNBC "kept Pat Buchanan off air" when the facts prove otherwise? And what "groups" are these? Media Matters, Anti-Catholic bigot Abe Foxman, and the eight-known-members of Color of Change. Not a winning coalition to say the least, but a hodge podge of self-promoting, name-calling leftists.

After his editors slapped his hand for making a grave error and then posting a correction, Calderone tweeted, "Correction: Pat Buchanan’s made one appearance on MSNBC since book published -- not since COC campaign."

So now Calderone alleges that Buchanan hasn't been on because of the Color of Change campaign? How about hasn't been on since the Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal broke or hasn't been on since Kim Kardashian (pictured) ended her 72 day marriage?

What leaps of judgement with no sources. With so many spokespersons and others being fired for twittering their inappropriate opinions, Calderone proves he is an idiot stooge of the left, and a lazy and sloppy journalist.

The facts are Buchanan has a wonderful relationship with his employer MSNBC and he currently is "off the reservation" promoting his book.  The left is trying to find deeper meaning in all this is like convincing yourself that you're eating a Rib Eye steak dinner by meditating on a piece of beef jerky for an hour beforehand.

Left-Wing Conspiracies, MSNBC, and Buchanan

If it wasn't bad enough with the orchestrated name-calling by left-wing groups, liberal conspiracy theorists are now claiming Patrick J. Buchanan is MIA on MSNBC since the launch of his New York Times Best Seller, Suicide of a Superpower.

Michael Calderone (pictured) of the liberal blog site The Huffington Post was forced to correct his story today after alleging that Buchanan hadn't been on MSNBC since October 15th.

If Calderone had done his homework, he'd had listened to the Imus in the Morning Show simulcasted on the Fox Business Network on October 18th:

Imus: "When you have a book, they [MSNBC] let you appear with me? or..." Buchanan: "When I have a book...I say they [MSNBC] say you can wander off the reservation, go to various places, as long as you come back."

But the left isn't satisfied and seems to be drooling over nothing. And what Calderone really failed to emphasize was Buchanan's positive relationship with MSNBC. He only mentioned it in passing:

While discussing Buchanan's new book on GBTV, [Glenn] Beck suggested that Buchanan could be completely open on his show. "It's OK, I know you work at MSNBC. I know the lion's cage you have to go into," Beck said, grabbing Buchanan's hand and mock consoling him. "You don't have to even mention you were here. It's OK." "What you don't understand is that I'm like a Jesuit missionary to the Iroquois over there," Buchanan said, chuckling. "No, that's my home network, and I enjoy working over there." Beck broke out again in laughter. "I believed him," he said. "I believed him."(Emphasis added)

Unfortunately for the lefties filled with hate and bigotry, and whose outlandish antics and name-calling only helped boost sales, Patrick J. Buchanan will be coming back to the reservation, MSNBC, with yet another best seller under his belt.
