Trying real hard to work up a tear.
They should at least spin off their filthy presenters.
I Got Ya nu name rite here:
MSMUD
So they will only be known as MicroSoft now?
CNN is next. Nothing more I wold like than to see Jake Tapper fired.
I thought we here at FR dubbed them ages ago as MSLSD.
They will take all the upcoming bad news for the Left and try to "spin" it so that it can be presented as a triumphant march of communism through a society dominated by deplorable racist Nazi garbage.
I called them MSDNC
Possible name change suggestions were “Faux News”, “Babylon B-Ess”, “Baghdad Bobs News Channel” and their Spanish version is “Un Pravda”.
Nobody is going to be fooled by a name change.
PMS LSD...FOR new name!

Scarborough: “We could all be fired a year from now.”
Sob. Poor baby. I worked in high tech and companies adjusted work forces to match the sales volume all the time. Some divisions were growing, other shrinking and work forces expanded or contracted accordingly. That’s life. ‘
These prima donna bastards think they are the first people to ever suffer a changing business environment and that they should have lifetime employment.
No, don’t change. MS - Never Been Correct is the example of how low folks can go pretending that they are sentient.
MSDJT has a nice ring to it...
I always thought the “aaMS” meant “Moldy $h!t”. Color me confused.
“Scarborough: ‘We could all be fired a year from now.’”
Oh, Joe. That’s so cute. It will be much sooner!
“SpinCo” pretty much rhymes with “S**tShow”. I wonder what low IQ executive came up with that name.
Panic at MSNBC? Joy Reid and company afraid of losing their jobs? Afraid they won’t find another good paying gig where they get to spew liberal pablum?
I prefer PMS/NBC
