When MSNBC first came on the air it was actually quite interesting because they would analyze what was going on in the Internet and had stories about the Web in addition to regular news. However, after a few months, the old fogey ideas crept and they pretty much dumped all coverage of the Web and MSNBC became just another standard news network with nothing to distinguish itself. If you notice, you rarely (if ever) see Omar the weird looking dude doing reports about the Internet on MSNBC any longer.

You must recall, then, the show hosted by Soledad O'Brien, "The Site." Do you recall what event transpired that threw "The Site" off the air, and signaled the beginning of the end of fresh programming on MSNBC?
