Why do pansy ass partisans get whiny when the truth hurts? Since when is the truth "partisan" or "liberal"?
Olbermann has more respectability in his left thumb than all the rest of you people combined.

I am not sure NBC has anyone who can replace Russert at this point.
Brian Williams perhaps, but that would be about it.

Man... When David Gregory is considered the alternative to the 'radical' there's something seriously wrong with your network.

MSNBC has been pretty horrid for a while now.
Coming from you this is a good thing. Think I'll watch more of it.
Ah, isn't that cute, you're feeling a little butthurt from your shellacking in the RNC riot thread.

You know... for all the crap that FOX gets they do keep their partisan hosts confined to their own shows.
I don't think you would see O'Reilly or Hannity hosting the coverage of a news event like the RNC or DNC.
MSNBC has lost a lot of credibility recently and it will be very hard to get it back.
Ummm... if by "recently" you mean "years and years ago", then I totally agree with you.
You have to understand one of PJ's propaganda techniques is to make his comments sound 'fair and balanced' by implying he can agree with the other side in part.
In this example, he's free to falsely pretend that he was recognizing a high level of credibiility in MSNBC earlier, because it adds credibility to his attack now.
You, in contrast, by saying you think MSNBC has been leftist for years (wrong), come across as more of a right-wing person whose attack has less credibility.
I think PJ must know some gullible people who fall for his schtick, and make him think it'll fool people here too.
It'd be a little like my posting, "I saw much to admire in President Bush's foreign policy until his latest policy, but this one has shown he's evil."
It's nothing more than the increased credibility given to purportedly 'friendly' sources, as in 'even McCain/Obama's own (blank) criticizes his...'
Of course, instead of trying for that misleading and cheap technique, I say up front I face a larger challenge, since I'm so critical of him broadly, and need to back that up.

Who in Fox isn't partisan? Roger Aisles is friends with the Bush family, they sent MEMOS to the NON PARTISAN (LOL) anchors to say certain things.
Fox news is a partisan organization from the top down.
One my very rare "+1" posts.

Going left is not going to help MSNBC with ratings. I have seen how various people watch news:
Many right wingers watch Fox News all day, every day. They are literally glued to the channel and won't watch anything else on TV.
Moderates and liberals have a much more diverse viewing habit, i.e. some news and then some TV shows, movies, etc.
It is just a matter of numbers. When liberals are giving ratings to LOGO or Bravo, conservatives are racking up the hours for Fox News.

Oh how sweet it was to read the full article. I wonder who else was talking about this
But in the past two weeks, that line has been blurred. On the final night of the Republican convention, after MSNBC televised the party?s video ?tribute to the victims of 9/11,? including graphic footage of the World Trade Center attacks, Mr. Olbermann abruptly took off his journalistic hat.
?I?m sorry, it?s necessary to say this,? he began. After saying that the video had exploited the memories of the dead, he directly apologized to viewers who were offended. Then, sounding like a network executive, he said it was ?probably not appropriate to be shown.?
