[Mr. Mulliner]

I wonder how it would have been if NBC and MSNBC had been graded separately. I've been hearing very good things from freepers about MSNBC's war coverage and their clear efforts to save their news channel by turning more conservative.

I was a captive viewer of MSNBC since my cable doesn't carry FOX News. Aside from Arnott, who was, to my utter amazement, immediately fired after that dreadful Iraqi TV interview, I thought that the coverage was pretty balanced.

I cried my eyes out when David Bloom died. Before this war, I didn't care for him at all. (I had a hard time forgetting his smirking commentary during the hanging chad fiasco of the 2000 election.) I sincerely think, had Bloom lived, he would have emerged from this a changed man...at least in the areas where liberals are usually most negative--defense and supporting our armed forces... (Hey, it's a start.)

I enjoyed MSNBC's wall of troop photos sent in by loving family members entitled "America's Bravest." That wall got gigantic. I believe that they are still continuing the practice since thousands of photos and comments were mailed to the MSNBC studio.
