Working as a reporter for the election night coverage on Glenn Beck’s Insider Extreme webcast the other night, I spent five solid (and painful) hours tuned in to the cable network that uses the word Progressive so often that one expects Flo to pop in every hour with a cheerful quip about saving money on your car insurance.
MSNBC could have used some perkiness
Back to MSNBC’s live coverage of the midterm elections. I’m not certain on the exact definition of torture, but I know it when I sit through five hours of it. Yes, for five truly torturous hours I was unable to tune away from NBC’s failed experiment in the news channel biz. I did persist, making it all the way to midnight Eastern time when most of the significant races had been called. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Eugene Robinson were considerably less jubilant than two years ago when the 2008 elections offered a markedly different result. This broadcast initially had the tone of a wake as all assembled knew what was coming down the pike.
Here are the Top Five things I learned while being force-fed MSNBC’s election night coverage.
1. MSNBC – when faced with an overwhelming and inevitable sea change as was happening in the House does make changes to it’s tone. For example, the pejorative term TEA BAGGER was nowhere to be heard. After 18 months of overuse and trying to slap this insulting label on the representatives of this rising party of the people, it was gone. Maddow and Olbermann, the two biggest (ab)users of the derogatory phrase were probably loathe to use it as they now face at least two years of having to deal with Tea Party Senators and Congressional Representatives. It might be kind of difficult to seem reasonable when you are openly and vulgarly deriding those on whom you are reporting.
If you find it hard to believe that MSNBC called anyone by a nasty name, please revisit this clip.
2. It’s NOT historic. (yes it is) As the evening’s reality began to set in, the MSNBC Progressive Posse knew that this night was going to be as much fun as a five hour root canal sans anesthesia. And yet they were in denial. NBC’s network pundits were crunching the numbers from the exit polls and the early tabulations and declared that the GOP would likely end the night with 240+ seats in the House. An astounding change from 2008. But Olbermann would not accept this, he emphatically declared; “This is a big swing, but it is not HISTORIC, not historic!”
Keith… have you seen the front page of the New York Times website this morning?
3. Glam is in! I believe this also was a first for the network, but it was obvious that Rachel Maddow was wearing more makeup than Chris Matthews. (not an ad hominem attack, just an observation)
4. One Minnesota Mom Beats A Progressive Full House. Michelle Bachmann proved once again that she is quicker on her feet than a room full of overpaid, ratings-challenged, MSNBC hosts. The Congresswoman woman who faced and defeated one of the broadest attacks from a vindictive Pelosi machine that was so well funded reasonable minds wondered how Bachmann could win, proved her naysayers wrong. She did win, but more importantly, she won the hearts and minds of many during this live segment asking Tingles if “the thrill was not so tingly on his leg anymore.”
5. And finally, there is no Stockholm Syndrome. After being liberated from my MSNBC prison, I was concerned that I might feel separation pangs and crave Rach, Keith-O, Last Word Larry, Gene Gene the Progressive Machine Robinson, and the ubiquitous Tingles Matthews. I did not. I still don’t. In fact, actually I feel a pressing need to walk naked though a car wash in hopes of scrubbing all this supercilious snarkiness off of me. Sadly, I live in Manhattan and we don’t have car washes here. New Jersey, here I come!

big seminar 14
Especially, if you join the "wrong" survey companies from the very beginning and are simply just looking for "Fast Cash!" The unfortunate problem nowadays is also the simple fact that online consumer survey respondents "just don't have the patience required for daily participation and don't know how to qualify for the beginning screening or qualifying process?" It's really NOT their fault? considering how many millions of companies on today's internet announce how much money you can make in (1) one day with very little time involved.
"Hi! This is Phillip Chambley! Original author of "Secrets of paid online surveys ebook!" $9.98 USD. (secretsofsurveys.com). I worked as a (5) five year inside market research interviewer/consultant and also provided online research for the companies(s) I worked for over the years. The biggest problem I have personally found is the fact that people that ARE actually interested in online survey participation have simply joined the "wrong companies". In other words, these companies only want to pay with prizes and gifts and even sometimes "Nothing at all?" after they have provided their hard working online opinion.
Making money with paid online surveys is NOT easy! It actually requires a lot of time and hard work. The hard part is finding the "right" cash paying survey companies to begin with, because so many internet website people nowadays advertise "join this particular company" and receive FREE CASH? However, what they don't tell you is they are making money off the referral fee(s) once you "click on and join" all of these so-called market research companies advertised on their websites and they could care less whether you make any money or not after you join?
Also, if you are not careful, you will be lured into giving certain FRAUDULENT survey companies your credit card number (as advertised on the bigspot.com T.V commercial). Which is really bad for people that are honestly interested in paid online survey participation that have been "steered in the wrong direction" regarding LEGITIMATE surveys that actually pay you for your online time. "These online incidents really make me mad" as a professional market research interviewer, because it simply defrauds the TRUE basis for daily opinion consumer market research to begin with.
People email me from all around the world and ask me? "Can you really make money off paid online surveys?" I tell them, it's not that hard once you join the right cash paying companies, but it does take a lot of patience and hard work everyday. Average paid online surveys pay anywhere from $3.00 to $25.00 per 15 minute survey depending on your occupation? "If you join the right companies in the beginning and learn how to qualify?" You can honestly make anywhere from $12.00 to $75.00 per hour, this also depends on your internet speed and how fast you can read.
This situation is great for un-employed workers and stay at home moms or dads and even college students. Because, legitimate online survey companies do NOT take out taxes or ask for your social security number or even your credit card number until you reach the $600.00 IRS limit pay for the year. "Ironically, these legitimate market research companies are 100% FREE to join!" Most legitimate paying online market research companies do NO internet advertisement and pay absolutely nothing for referral fees of any kind. Most of these online legitimate market research companies are "hidden within the internet?" which most website people never advertise because of "NO referral payment" in return.
"This is where the hard part comes in?" How do I find these actual cash paying online survey companies?" My wife and I actually bought a 500 list of these so-called survey companies for $39.95 over the internet and narrowed it down to 18 legitimate companies, which we still make money off everyday regarding our online opinion payable via paypal.com or checks in the U.S.A. mail each month. We honestly spent month after month joining these companies that has paid off for us in the end, because this is additional monthly income and we also have the right to choose which paid survey we want to participate in on a daily basis 24 hours a day.
"Trying to find these legitimate cash paying online market research companies over the internet, is like finding a needle in a haystack!" Ironically, most people have bought my ebook just for this list of the 18 Top cash paying online survey companies alone. Which they claim has been a "Time Saver" simply because of internet research, day after day, and the fact that they are tired of all the B.S. regarding paid online surveys of joining the "wrong survey companies".
"Unfortunately, you may have to lie at times regarding the screening or qualifying process", which is one of the reasons why I personally quit this business to begin with, because your occupation seems to conflict with this particular survey for some strange reason? In other words, restaurant workers are NOT allowed to do food surveys? Construction workers can NOT do surveys regarding tools? However, computer experts are allowed to always do any NEW computer technology, which pays anywhere from $60.00 to $100.00 per survey. But, these technology surveys are really complicated for an average person, but at the same time rewarding if these experts take the time to participate in these paid online surveys, with NO personal information ever revealed.
Thanks for reading,
Phillip Chambley.
