Why Does Anyone Watch MSNBC? Host Suggest That Hamas Rockets 'Rarely Do Damage'

[Dave]

If there is one thing that MSNBC is good at, its showing off what a bunch of idiots and morons it has working there. Many of its few fans love to blather on about how Fox News is one sided and stuff while neglecting to mention that MSNBC is farther to the left then Fox is toward the right. The gall of this anchor.. and I use that term very loosely in this case... to suggest that the rockets rarely do damage is incredibly moronic. Maybe she would prefer that they lob rockets at her house maybe, they won't always hit it so it can't be that bad, right? Someday MSNBC/NBC might figure out that if it really wants to be taken seriously as a news organization that they should start doing real news and stop with the hit pieces and crazy editing.

To be fair - the anchorwoman did state - it was a question from others.

That may be but at some point you simply have to use a little common sense. Being attacked by rockets on a daily basis is going to be terrifying for anyone.

[Lisa O'Brien]

I agree it has to be nerve racking, and I give Israel a lot of credit, because I personally would have a zero tolerance. I would tell them for every rocket you launch at us, I will launch 20 at you, and let the chips fall where they may.

I agree Dave. This is a biased reporter who asked a stupid question. How can any fool question Israels defense against rocket attacks. Typical liberal news reporting. She didn't seem concerned about Israels citizens, only those under the  Hamas' ruling class. Why didn't she adress the fact that Hamas is bringing this upon their own people and the fact that they spend millions on rockets to try and kill civilians instead of investing that money in  schools, hospitals, ect. This is what happens when radicals rule over people and this is the kind of reporting we get when leftists control the news media.

Here's a couple of videos regarding Israel's "Iron Dome"

I agree with Israels restraint in sending a massive number of rockets into Gaza because if they did, most of the casualties would be civilians since Hamas hides behind them by using schools and other public places as launching areas.
