NBC trying to become more liberal!

Apparently NBC (and I assume MSNBC) did not think they had enough libs on board so they hired Vivian Schiller formerly of NPR notoriety. NBC News to Hire Embattled Former NPR Chief Vivian Schiller | NewsBusters.org.

Apparently both are trying to hide it from the rest of the press. "People familiar with the company say Schiller, who once ran the New York Times’ Web site, will report to NBC News chief Steve Capus. Both Schiller and NBC declined to comment."

 

How can they become any more liberal? Heck, all the main NBC correspondents are also MSNBC "analysts"....Chuck Todd, Savannah Guthrie, Andrea Mitchell...watch their "contributions" on MSNBC and there's no doubt where they stand.

 

NBC (and it's spinoff MSNBC) are just tools of the Democratic Party, so this doesn't surprise me one bit.

 

Yeah you can tell by all the Democratic presidential candidates they employ.

 

Why would any Dim politician want to be on MSNBC? The network has no viewership to speak of. I'm sure any sensible Dim (oxymoron?) politician understands that.

 

They don't employ any dip candidates. They are employed by their presidential candidate. After all, Immelt was hired by BO. Hummmmm? I wonder......

 

I believe I said "employed by" the network not "be on" the network. It has to do with conflict of interest and objectivity so I'm sure you have no idea what I'm talking about. The fact that your guy-crush on Fox doesn't even allow you to notice the number of Republican presidential candidates that are or were employed by them in contrast to the number employed by the entire rest of the media industry, well, I'm sure you'll probably just focus on the people that appear on the networks rather than those employed by them again. Carry on with your unique perspective.

 

So you have a problem if the candidate is "employed by" the network (even though none of the announced candidates is), but you have no problem when the candidate employs the network let alone when Georgie pays for both of them. Great standards you have there.

 

Wow, talk about nitpicking. Just so we're straight, when I said "be on" I meant "employed". I apologize for not knowing the correct media lingo.
My point remains, those Dims know better than to associate with a loser....and MSNBC is a loser. Also, just to correct another of the falsehoods you love to repeat, I am not a FOX watcher. In fact, I don't remember the last time I tuned in to Fox. I admit I tried to make time yesterday to catch what fun Fox was having with the Anthony's Weener story but it just didn't work out.

 

So your above statement should have read, "Why would any Dim politician want to be employed by MSNBC? The network has no viewership to speak of. I'm sure any sensible Dim (oxymoron?) politician understands that."
Why would anyone want to be employed by MSNBC. For the same reasons Righties want to be employed by Fox....The money. You see, your statement makes little sense when you replace "to be on" with "employed by" but makes much more sense when you talk about viewers if you are talking about being on the network verses being employed by the network. Me thinks you are backtracking. Since when is "employed by" media lingo? I don't know what you base the idea that MSNBC has no viewers on but my guess is that it is probably your own imagination. As Business Insider wrote in March, "IT'S NOT JUST GLENN BECK: FOX News Has Lost 21% Of Its Audience This Year". When you talk about the popularity of Fox please make the important distinction between Fox News and the Fox Network. They have lots of popular entertainment that keeps their rates up but Fox News is sinking like a stone. So please, honesty in your criticisms for a change.

 

And the next line was "But don't cry for the right-leaning network -- it's been number one on cable for nine years now, and it still has the top 12 shows."

 

You seem to know an awful lot about FOX. Are you a regular viewer?

 

lets the facts speak for themselves. here are ratings from June 1st:

Yes, FOX NEWS is down, now they only double everybody else in every time slot.

So what's your point Jack?

Is MSNBC biased. Duh!
Is Fox News biased? Duh!

Are there twice as many people that believe Fox is "gospel"?


Hmmm......which can lead to a double or triple DUH.

 

...ahhhh, the rarely seen 'triple-DUH'... historical. Thank you MSNBC, with a nod to FOX... for the near 'double-DUH'...

 

My point was for Mr Moen. He stated Fox News rating were sinking like a stone. They hold the top 12, and 13 out of 15 top spots. even Fox reruns beat other networks.

And, yes, they are biased. 1 network out of all networks is not biased against conservatives, and they lead the way.

 

Dang, dr moen, phd.....those pesky facts spoil your argument once again!

 

Perhaps not biased against conservatives Jack but certainly NOT conservative. No more than MSNBC leans toward moderate.

What we need is a network that is more centrist. One that openly caters to Conservatives and Moderates. I don't see one. Do you?

 

I know IQ it was a serious breach of etiquette. Got a good laugh out of me though.

Now drink your Ovaltine.
