It's amazing just how far some news organizations have to fall before they finally figure out that anti-American liberalism just doesn't fly if people have a choice. CNN hasn't figure it out yet.

I noticed this too while watching the war -- in fact MSNBC even put together some clips with Bush quotes that would make great campaign ads.

I turned on the tube the other day and it was set to MSNBC. The reporting was so positive that it took me a minute to realize I wasn't watching FOX. Maybe the Donahue Network has finally figured out that 95% gloom and doom reports of every short-coming of America and all we do wasn't in tune with the Red Zone and even some in the Blue Zone.

I wonder when the rest of Cable and the Networks figure out the obvious. Of course, at ABC, Jennings would have to be transfered to Greenland before we got anything but thinly disguised snarls at all things American. Dan Rather might figure it out with the help of electro-shock therapy. Browkaw could be house broken. I'm hopeful that commercial interests will FINALLY scotch all the rampant anti-Americanism in a significant portion of the left stream media.

Interesting. The market is deciding for them. And the market is responding.

One of MSNBC's shows last week had a host I've never seen before (Joe Scarboro [spelling?] - I think he's a former U.S. Representative and a Conservative). He was a hoot to watch. I stayed on MSNBC the whole time Joe was broadcasting.

Anyone else see this anchor? Trajan88

While it is important to report the facts – either good or bad – it is not being biased to want your country to win. Some reporters – perhaps understandably – have trouble with this concept. If our troops were being defeated it would be bad journalism not to report it; it does not follow that defeat should be reported with the same tone as victory. Bias toward an outcome does not imply a bias to objective reality.

I think one of the things people like about FOX is that they are not afraid to acknowledge the goodness of this country. If they were to ignore faults, that would be bad reporting – to the best of my knowledge, they have not.

I prefer MSNBC over FOX 99% of the time, with the 1% being Greg Kelly or a Rick L interview which are really interesting.
The problem I have with FOX is that for all their retired generals on there I haven't learned squat about the operation that I couldn't of figured out in about 5 minutes of thought. That's not their fault, but what's the reason for watching the show?
MSNBC is a little better as they have a lot of middle eastern experts on there that I actually do gain some insight from. Plus they don't bait people like O'Reilly does on his show, or offer up some loony toon liberal to be easily smacked down.
Can't say I've turned on CNN for about a year now.

What's amazing is that this article doesn't even mention MSNBC's former "Star" correspondent Peter Arnett. Look, MSNBC has some great reporters and one of the best anchors working today, I think, Lester Holt. The guy is AMAZING. But then they've got the "Fascist Lovefest" hour with Buchannon & Press. And they have the most insufferable of insufferables, the famously repulsive Keith Olbermann. (You've got to wonder about the grey matter of this never ending line of tv producers who keep giving him another chance - HELLO! The people have spoken! K.O. is as UNWATCHABLE on MSNBC as he was on ESPN. (What? You thought the change of alphabet would do him good? Sheesh. How much are you paid, again?)

MSNBC has a promo spot that is beautiful. The Star Spangled Banner is played in the background on the piano, and photos of the military and Iraqis are shown. It is a promo spot, and I do think that MSNBC is being rather cynical about selling patriotism, but the spot does tug at my heartstrings.

[rwfromkansas]

Heck, if we can get MSNBC and Fox News, we may have some real clout.

[RJayneJ]

One of the worst mistakes MSNBC made was in their choice of Retired Military experts Clark and McCafrey who really blew it on the weekend of the second week of the war criticizing Tom Franks war plan. They would be wise to get shed of those two. And the Sunday shows all based their programs on those criticisms. It was truly shameful.

Prediction: MSNBC begins to close in the ratings on that stinking fecal mass CNN by the end of the year!!!

[Huck]

if you make “any misstep...you can get into trouble with these guys

"These guys" meaning the American public.

Under Jack Welch, the former General Electric CEO, each GE subsidiary must be Number 1 or Number 2 in its market, or else GE pulls the plug on it. Perhaps this goal is still alive in the post-Welch GE.

If so, CNN should shudder, because MSNBC looks like it's shooting for Number 2.
