Moving the letters around in PMSNBC will do nothing for them. You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig. In this case, a failed commie pig.

Pravda may be available. But since it means “truth” in Russian it would in and of itself be one more lie.

Excellent idea. I propose:

MSNBC’s problems are much, much deeper than a name change.

They include the embedded political ideology espoused by the various hosts and commentators.
