At CNN, executives believe Nachman's hiring is a signal MSNBC is looking to emulate Fox more than CNN.

Well, if you're going to steal ideas, you might as well steal from the best. But instead of stealing ideas, MSNBC, how about if you go back to your ORIGINAL concept of combining news and the INTERNET? In the beginning MSNBC was actually a very interesting network since they had a lot of coverage of the Internet. But then the old fogey ideas crept in and the MSNBC reporters began treating the Internet in a very condescending manner. Yeah, they would do reports on "that there newfangled Internet thing" but would quickly return to "real" news. Nowadays there is barely a mention of the Internet on MSNBC.

With the absence of FNC in my area, I watch MSNBC. Seem to be fairly good channel, but nothing really stands out about them. But their latest slogan is "Fiercely Independent," obviously a pot shot at Fox.

I barely watch any of them anymore, not even Fox. They have all turned their back on the biggest news story to come down the pike in a long time. The murder by the clintons of Vince Foster, Ron Brown and others. They have basically winked a these murders. As long as they continue their complicity, I will consider them accomplices after the fact. I don't condone murder and especially by tinhorn despots like the clintons. So I watch Food TV and all the antique shows I can find.

MSNBC has always been confused. This time they have confused weight with gravitas. Nachman definitely brings weight to their network, but little if any gravitas.
