"Maybe we should FReep General Electric and Microsoft to throw what's there away and build a new channel that han o leftists on the staff and shows no bias.""

HA!!
bert you ol' fox!
If we were to do something like that, why we'll never get rid of 'em!!!
As sure as God made li'l green apples these nitwits will think we're just being coy, are *secretly* in love with 'em. :o)

Let's have some laughs here; &, look closer, parse this article.
Perhaps do a little xlation (for those in Rio Linda) where & when required, shall we?

"According to newsroom sources, Carter is set to warn how 'future investment and promotion budgets for the channel' may be at risk during the coming months, as the all-news network continues to slump in the ratings, lead by the nearly still-born DONAHUE."

They're broke.
The *Sorensons* KNEW what they were doing every step of the way; &, the Limosine Liberals & RINOS behind the scenes responsible for controlling the purse strings listened, followed their advice, & let 'em have a complete run of the show.
The Liberal-Socialists the brainiac-beancounters entrusted to "play to the room" simply ran 'em into the ground.
Bottom line then, is they're broke.
(Took this Liberal-Socialist bunch about 10 years to kill the host, too.)

"The pressure is coming from the very topf the MSNBCNBCGE tree."

HA!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, buttttt...
Doesn't this description sound like an excellent description of a head-on collision -- between Capitalism & Socialism?
A collision, btw, each & every person involved with the project known as CCRM knew was inevitable.
Was never any more than a question of time, too; & now, the time is close at hand.

People are looking very close these days at what & who they're buying in the way of investments.
Promises of Blue Skies (going unactualized ad infinitum) are now viewed for precisely what they are, & what they've always been; simply bad business.

So in a strange way let me be amoung the first to say, "Thank you, Enron."

"Earlier this year, at a meeting of NBC's top management, Jeffrey Immelt, the chairman of GENERAL ELECTRIC, specifically cited MSNBC as the area of NBC that most needed attention. 'He gave the order,' a senior NBC executive has told Carter said, 'and the order was, 'Fix it.'""

*Dad* has spoken & the children must listen.

"As for the ailing DONAHUE, MSNBC prez Erik Sorenson tells Carter: 'We're in the silly season. The news is so slow; it's been the summer of kidnappings. That plays more toward [CNN's] Connie [Chung]. Her show is cotton candy. It's all tabloid, all the time.'"

Is this a textbook case of the "Pot Calling The Kettle Black"; or, "People Living In Glass Houses..."???
(These Liberal-Socialists have actually given us a choice!!) {g}

"Sorenson said that come fall DONAHUE will start to take advantage of more hard news developments. 'We'll have an election to cover and a war in Iraq,' Sorenson said."

Oh...
The ground will be RICH(ER) for [the] seeds of lying, disinformation, spin & all other manner of hijinks to be made available to ol' Phil the Pill, come this Fall?
Izzat right?

SOS, very same MO -- nothing's changed -- a'tall.
This Sorenson asshole just told us what he's scheming for us, come Fall.
Whether they realize it or not, GE stockholders are going to be getting more of the same in answer to their woe(s).
This is RICH!!
*Classic* Liberal-Socialist 'Rat Lamestream mindset -- "as long as the money being lost is not their's..." -- on display for all to behold!!
The Sorenson jamoke's one thick puppy with more than his fair share of real chutzpah, alright.

PREDICTION: Mr. Sorenson's career is kaput, fini, over (at PMSNBC) & sounds as if he might be considered one of the leading suspects in the murder of PMSNBC.

"Beyond that, look for Donahue to book more celebrities. 'He's going to have Oprah on and Harrison Ford and George Clooney,' Sorenson said."

Whoaaaa...DON'T forget Tim Robbins (& his washed-up has-been *mate* what'sherface), Mr. Sorenson!!!
Those two are *hot* now!
You wouldn't want to miss a *golden* "opportunity"; &, let Connie Chung at CNN capitalize, would you? :o)

"I don't honestly expect to have an answer on this until November."

No, Mr. Sorenson, I don't suppose you will have an *answer* come November, either.
Aside from my contention you ain't gonna be employed come Novemebr?
I'd like to say you're *consistent*, if you're nothing else.
As you've never had "an answer" to anything (meaningful) in your entire life; not, if you're judged by the "product" you *pinch out*? (& you are)
Your lack of "answers," coincidentally, is precisely *why* your cable net's drowning a horrible death, in the dreaded Sea of Red Ink!!
Drowing, Mr. Sorenson, in spite of you (& your cohorts) being given practically UNlimited resources to make this enterprise work??

(psssst: Mr Sorenson, DON'T forget to be *gracious*, now; &, thank your Mass-Com profs who're responsible for your "training.") {hehehe}

"Developing..."

Really, now?

...nawww, sounds mercifully "over" to me.
