Just call them the “Ministry of Propaganda” and be done with it. Truth in advertising and all that.

Late last night I intentionally subjected myself to about 30 minutes of the Keith Olbermann show as I sometimes do to see what the enemy is up to and yet again I was treated to endless tirades about George Bush and the Bush administration.
No...this is not 2007.
Its almost what now? 170 days into the Obama administration and Olbermann’s headline feature is about George Bush.
Who watches this stuff? It’s so absurd it’s amazing...

The Obama Network is fitting. All 0 fawning, all the time.
But as a business plan?
Talk about putting all your eggs into one basket.

I agree...I mean it really is a bit ridiculous for Olbermann and Maddow to be still harping on Bush every single night. There has to be a tipping point for even the most die-hard viewers to realize what they are watching is not news or current events.

Wait just a minute. Hussein’s image wasn’t supposed to be used for private gain. Did MSNBC pay royalties?

Various matrices showing Fox’s continued ratings dominance in cable news lurked in near invisibility at the periphery. “We have Fox up there, too,” said Mr. Kelly. “But they’re hidden.” Uh huh. Out of sight is more like it. Wonder why?

This article is wierd. It’s like the second place jockey in the Kentucky Derby thumping his chest and boasting about finishing ahead of number three. An odd disconnect with reality.

Now, behind the scenes at NBC, a more challenging task was kicking into high gear, as a team of revved-up ad salesmen feverishly struggled to translate MSNBC’s embryonic and fragile claim as the No. 2 cable news network into something bankable in a brutal advertising environment.
"Try my product."

I didn't wade through the entire article, but one thought comes to mind.
Usually people that need to tell me how relevant they are, aren't.
