In a fresh New Republic story, reporter Rebecca Dana profiles Phil Griffin, the boss of a surging MSNBC. It’s a sympathetic look at the network exec, complete with a detailed rundown of how he and others happened upon the programming identity that has captivated liberal Americans across the land. One aspect of the piece that Griffin himself must adore is its disavowal of equivalence between MSNBC and cable top dog Fox News.

It’s a sympathetic look at the network exec I enjoyed the article which "New Republic" published last year that was a sympathetic look at Roger Ailes. I think they published it on Feb 32nd 2012.

Didn’t MS-NBC scrub part of the Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin 911 call to make the “white Hispanic” Zimmerman appear to be a racist?

Hey, you ever notice that when something is 100% true, the powers step up to deny the obvious?
I don't see them arguing that MSNBC is not affiliated with the REPUBLICAN party, or that Fox is not affiliated with the DEMOCRATS.
Thee's a reason they don't have to deny that. It's obvious they aren't.
But they do deny MSNBC isn't in lockstep with the Dems and the whacko left. Wonder why they feel compelled to have to do that. Hmmmm (scratches head)

No, they just both happen to want a useless idiotic populace with a little government money in their pockets staring at the TV advertisements all day.
One for the money, the other for the votes.

“Surging”? “Captivated”? Compared to what, Piers Morgan?

That they felt they had to deny it says that it is obvious to all that they ARE.
