Has MSNBC.COM Become the Best Online News Source???
Considering that they carry Newsweek and the Washington Post, and it's obvious whoever heads up the Website LOVES to feature anti-Bush stories. Seriously, check this out:


It's up now if you'd like to read this stuff.

I suppose my point is that they ALWAYS have hard-hitting front pages. The site is far better than CNN, and Fox's website is just like there television shows. So who runs msnbc.com??

4. MSRNC sucks, bsnbc.com is mildly ok
I enjoy their democatric embeds.

But to compare CNN and MSNBC tv networks, CNN is far more fair and balanced then MSNBC and their new FOXlite approach *cough* canned Savage Nation, Scarborough County, Hardball etc.

Not to say CNN is BBC though.

7. Franken and Carlson were on CNBC with RUssert...
Tucker kept saying Franken was a partisan and was generally obnoxious.
A smug piece of crap who said that voting Democratic was basically
unacceptable. UGH!

By the way, I don't think Franken is particularly sharp when confronting Repugs directly and I fear he may not be a very good talk show host...

8. MSNBC.com - first stop in mainstream sites..
Of the major national network sites, MSNBC is always the first place I go. They do great exclusives, and the Washington Post and Newsweek pieces are usually great.

The site is a little too splashy and senational for my tastes, but if they're bashing Bush (and lately they are), I like it.

9. I totally agree
I've been thinking the same thing. And I've noticed that CBSnews.com also has a liberal slant.

Conversely, I've noticed that CNN.com has a very conservative slant. Even more conservative than their coverage.


But yes, MSNBC.com definitely the most liberal of the mainstream.

12. He's good...
and I've heard him make fun of Dennis Miller and Jonah Goldberg of National Review. He has a sharp wit and some sense of humor. I honestly thought he wouldn't have made it this far...Figured they'd can him for being too liberal like Donaghue...

11. Duh
MSNBC is run by Microsoft with some input from NBC.

This is plainly documented on the MSNBC front page.
