Well well Big surprise. MSNBC scoops everyone again. Those that argue they're not the best in this type of coverage don't know what they're talking about.

Agreed. MSNBC has had outstanding coverage during this conflict.

MSNBC can have all the scoops in the world... ain't gonna help if they have dumb bimbo anchors in studio diluting the good coverage of their field reporters.

MSNBC has provided the best reporting. Miklashevksi at the Pentagon and Arnot in the field among others. I like Fox for analysis.

Well well Big surprise. MSNBC scoops everyone again.

The information was learned by NBC. Since they only have a half hour news program, they fed it to their cable network - PMSNBC.

I agree. I'm not pushing MSNBC, but I switch between Fox, MSNBC, and CNN during breaking news (just to see who's saying what) and MSNBC is almost always ahead of everyone else.

This tip came to NBC/MSNBC from a source described as " high government official." I'm sure all the networks got the same secret info, from the same high government official, and at the same time. MSNBC went on air with the story earlier than FOX and CNN, and by phone, went quick to Andrea Mitchell and Brian Williams for their evaluation of the tip.

I love it when Andrea Mitchell talks about "working her sources", when Rita Cosby says, "my sources tell me".

Bunchabull! What it means is they were sitting on their butts and got a phone call from a "high government official", who wanted to get a story out on the air.
