...It is well known that both Comcast chief Brian Roberts and NBCU chief Steve Burke have donated heavily to the Republican party with Burke more recently donating money to a few Democrats as well...Roberts was a co-chairman of the host committee at the 2000 Republican Convention while Burke raised at least $200,000 for George W Bush’s re-election campaign.

Maybe they would like to see what an audience would feel like.
Ok let’s have fun with this..MSNBC’s definition of going right..OK so instead of being a Communist News Network now they will just be a socialist network

I don't know....seems like a pretty extreme move to the right to me. I don't think they can manage it.
About once or twice a year they'll publish something that in a certain light, and properly excerpted, could almost be construed as critical of hussein.
When Michelle is seen on the White House grounds this spring in a bikini, they'll place the story on their website along side Lane Bryant ads.
They'll actually publish something with the phrase "illegal alien" in it. Of course, it may be only to note how "undocumented worker" has allegedly supplanted the other phrase.
They'll go a whole week without publishing a smear against Sarah Palin.
Schultz, O Donnell and Maddow are there. There is no right turn.
Except in image, as Obama tries to ‘appear’ centrist.
I would say they see the writing on the wall and will be pulling for RINO’s so that the Tea Party people get sidelined by next election.
Don’t take the beads when there is far more on offer!

This is BS, MSNBC is going to be killed for business reasons. They suck and loose money.
They are going to try to make this about politics.
MSNBC was a political donation to the Democrats by GE.
Right turn for this channel means they will pause for an extraordinary 5 minutes between liberal talking points.
In sports, we call this a head fake. In this case, they are doing a head fake, but doing it with REAL fake heads.
The problem was that they couldn’t get the viewers to pay the bills. MSNBC didn’t care as long as GE held the purse. COMCAST needs the network to break even and make some kind of profit. My guess is that two or three fairly right-wing guys are to be brought in over the next 90 days to rebuild the prime hours (5-10pm). The curious thing will be if they can put someone on at 5pm and oppose Beck...taking a quarter of Beck’s viewers. I don’t know who could do it...but if they want some profits here...they need to compete.
When I look at Roberts' political donations I see him donating almost exclusively to Dems over the past decade.
“t is well known that both Comcast chief Brian Roberts and NBCU chief Steve Burke have donated heavily to the Republican party with Burke more recently donating money to a few Democrats as well as heavily to Republicans.”
Brian Roberts
Comcast chairman, ceo
NEWSMEAT Power Rank: 76
Election Picks: 41 wins, 14 losses
$22,200 Republican
$119,050 Democrat
$220,915 special interest
total: $362,165
This is hardly heavy contributions to Republicans. I can’t find anything on Steve Burke.
Comcast chief Brian Roberts and NBCU chief Steve Burke donate to both parties because they’re more interested in the bottom line of their respective companies. Immelt has donated to both parties over the years too and look where he’s at now. Immelt got rewarded for his loyalty to this Regime.
Comcast is very liberal.
They would like to make money though.
