Sorry Andy when I offended you. MSNBC went from dead last to dead last (but improving). They are so in the tank for Obama, it's not worth watching IMO. I'm a bit surprised at CNN, their icons, the Clintons, are tanking, and they seem to have adjusted. FOX has always had the most balanced coverage, at least you get both sides of an argument.

Some Moore wannabe made a film critical of the Catholic Church and they had him on with some young, smooth talking Jesuit. The kid did well factually until he started foaming at the mouth. Good television!

MSNBC has been the most Pro-Shrillary network since the get-go. Olbermann's the only person on there who's pro-Obama, and that's because he wants Shrillary to drop dead at this point.

Thank you for your opinion. When I flip through the channels, that's not what I see. I respectfully disagree with you.

Olbermann (sp?) is an azz. Can't even put two logical sentences together. But he's preaching to the choir. When I check the newsites in the mornings, his videos make me laugh. I got a pint sized cleaner bottle with a microfibre cloth just to clean my monitor every morning after watching his spittle.

I've watched MSNBC for as long as I can remember. They've been Pro-Clinton since the start of this thing.

Mike Brzezinski may be hot, but she is by far the most irritating "news anchor" on cable television, especially on morning joe. That show would have it made if they got rid of her ass and put in Amy Robach (where is she these days?) or Monica Novotny. Willie Geist is a rockstar who deserved his own show a long time ago.

Getting rid of Tucker was the best thing MSNBC's done in about 4 years. He needed to go before he was even hired. Vrai could start a newschannel tomorrow and double Tucker Carlson's ratings.

Verdict is the worst show I've watched in years. It's entertainment gossip Mickey Mouse and it's impossible to take seriously.

Keith Olbermann can drop dead tomorrow for all I care, I wouldn't give a rats ass. That dude spews more than forestal and raven combined. I bet he goes to the bars with Bill O'Reilly and they laugh at his Countdown segments. There's no way he believes what he says. Here's the dude that says the government kills anyone who disagrees with him and will lock them up in GITMO and all that yet he's still here.

"Race for the White House with David Gregory" is more childish Mickey Mouse crap. David Shuster should've been pulled off the network years ago. He's a pompous ass. Chris Matthews ain't gonna be alive forever.

I miss the old MSNBC. Amy Robach, Alexis Glick.

Now they give their viewers a bunch of c-rate suckers and call them anchors.

Andy, thank you for the analysis (I really mean that). It was right on. Part of the problem, imo, is the lack of object 'news' reporting. These gosh'blessed anchors thinks 'they' are the news. Kinda skews things a bit.

That's exactly it.

MSNBC had it's share of problems the first ten years. But, they were by far the best network to watch. CNN and FOX just made me while MSNBC delivered BREAKING NEWS and did so constantly.

Their best reporting came during the 2002 outbreak of violence in Israel. The Passover Massacre and the invasion of the West Bank. They had 3-4 reports on scene in the middle east covering the drama first hand. They had live video of every waking moment, every shooting and all. Their music, their coverage put viewers on the edge of their seats and MSNBC had it all live.

I know we'll probably never see that kind of reporting from an American news outlet again. Instead, they send a big-headed "newsman" to the scene for him/her to tell you what he/she experienced on the scene and how he/she is the newscast.

It's been a long time since I've seen ANY newschannel even come close to the quality of MSNBC from back in the day. Part of that, though, was that MSNBC didn't care about their ratings. They were the alternative for news while FOX was obsessed with shouting talking-heads and entertainment and CNN was beginning to obsses over Anderson Cooper. They didn't think twice about interrupting their primetime programming for a breaking event.

Look at when MSNBC recorded it's highest numbers. 9-11 and Hurricane Katrina. Why? These were earth-shattering breaking news events, at least here in the homeland. People wanted information.

I still maintain that if Hurricane Katrina were to hit tomorrow, MSNBC/CNN/FOX would all move it to the back burner for some celebirty tyraid or some meaningless Election 2008 speech by some person trying to sell his new book to the press.

Hell, look at their awesome job of covering the earthquake this morning.

My problem with MSNBC now is that it's become another CNN and another FOX News.

They didn't used to be that way. In fact, everytime I turn on FOX Newsroom, they remind me of the classic MSNBC.

Their primetime sucks, though.
