I hate that site. When I was on dial-up it took forever to load, and ws very difficult to navigate.
It sounds like a joke, but when you think about it, it's offensive.
MSNBC.com has exclusives on Howard Fineman, Eleanor Clift and Olbermann The Insane.
That's probably what did it...
These people are so dumb they don't even realize how dumb they really are.
Now if only they could get someong to actually watch MSNBC instead of their statistical zero.
MSNBC's site is still very slow on dialup. I avoid that and FOX News entirely because of that singular issue.
That site has been that way for at least 4 years, and it demonstrates a total lack of concern for their customers. WHy am I not surprised?
must be the monster ratings
The Online News Association is headed by Michael Silberman who previously.....
"Silberman comes to Rodale from MSNBC.com where he served as Deputy Editor, Partners & Strategy, overseeing all MSNBC Interactive program production with NBC News and MSNBC Cable, developing original Webcast programming and managing the relationship with NBC News and key content partners, including Newsweek and The Washington Post. As a member of the MSNBC.com executive management team, Silberman helped lead the development of company strategy and product development".

As Executive Editor of MSNBC.com from 1996-2001, Silberman managed newsroom projects and resources and was the liaison to MSNBC's technology, operations and business departments. Among Silberman's accomplishments at MSNBC: spearheaded first-ever Internet election night coverage in 1996, managed 1997 top-to-bottom site redesign, launched MSNBC's industry-first interactive television applications in 1998, directed wall-to-wall original Webcast coverage of the 2000 political conventions, developed and executed plan to revamp and expand The Today Show Web site, more than doubling traffic in a year. In 2002, he was acting Editor-in-Chief of MSNBC.com".

Didn't Jenna Jameson's site win this award last year?
LOL, that's one way of getting awards.
I find myself sticking strictly with Google News and Ask.com News when I am not surfing FR, and for more "local" news I surf over to the Billings Gazette, even though it's a full-throttle left winged rag anymore. Never used to be. I think with their declining readership, they've pretty much started preaching to the choir.
I'm not sure but it wouldn't surprise me.
That chart is way too cool and way too incredible.
The Indianapolis Star, owned by the Pulliam family (of whom Dan Quayle was an in-law) was sold to Gannett.
It has become deplorable. Negative stories on anything traditional, Chirstian, or Republican. It is a sad thing to see, because my grandad was a pressman for them for 50 years.
It's more of an NBC/Dateline/Newsweek dumping ground than an actual late-breaking news site.
