FYI if this memo is proven real.

[toddlintown]

I call BS.

[DManA]

Is this satire? Really. It is impossible to tell.

[WayneS]

If they won’t reveal the name of the network then I refuse to accept this as authentic.

“We may also have to cut away from McCain’s speech once or twice. Real Salt Lake is playing Chivas USA that night in a huge Major League Soccer match.”

The memo is just a bad joke. Everyone knows that no one cares about soccer.

[Fox_Mulder77]

Satire folks. Then again, this sounds like MSNBC.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this memo were proven to be true, but I’ll not take it seriously until that’s the case.

[BubbaBasher]

Sounds like the fake Janet Reno memo about labelling Christians as extremists.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

If they won’t reveal the name of the network then I refuse to accept this as authentic.

Same here. The names of the reporters should have allowed them to figure out which network it was and, as a result, their allegation that they don't know which network makes no sense.

[EyeGuy]

I missed the assignations regarding the teams of talented journalists they have assigned to cover the racist, exclusionary, hateful white Christian male angle.

[ninergold3]

Tell me this is a joke.

[MarineBrat]

Fake but accurate?

[mojito]

We may also have to cut away from McCain's speech once or twice. Real Salt Lake is playing Chivas USA that night in a huge Major League Soccer match.

I think this is an example of the famed midwestern pulling-your-leg sense of humor.

[101voodoo]

Not buying this for a moment.

I've also contacted ZZZ ZZZZZZZZ, who covered every convention from 1948 through 2000

Have you ever heard of satire?

[Reagan79]

Totally BS, but it is a funny satire!

[elizabetty]

What is it with all the doubting posts above?

This is POWERLINE Blog. These are serious and intelligent men, not satirists.
If Paul Mirengoff posted this he believes it to be solid and authentic.

[the invisib1e hand]

there’s probably an opposite twin posted at DU.

Send a copy of this MSNBC Memo... to CBS, CNN, ABC and PBS.
