Well, if you're going to sell to a news giant, that would be my choice as well. I was at msnbc hq in August and I will say they have their shit together (as regards online news... my lunch there wasn't top notch, however). But their main news room does look like some submarine control room or perhaps a video game interface... crazy. Saved By: Gregory Bowers | View Details | Give Thanks

WASHINGTON - British Prime Minister Tony Blair paid a farewell visit Wednesday to President Bush, an opportunity for close allies to showcase their unity on the war in Iraq and hammer out differences on climate change and trade.

"It was an interesting day." - President Bush, recalling 9/11 [White House, 1/5/02] There are many questions that deserve answers. So many pieces of the puzzle do not fit. Simply by reading the mainstream media reports, we can see that mere incompetence doesn't explain what happened to Bush on that day. For instance, it makes no sense th

Americans are divided on whether it was right to fire radio personality Don Imus for his controversial remark about the Rutgers women's basketball team, with a vast gap between blacks and whites on the issue.
I know I'm plunging into dangerous waters, but I've got to go against the raging Don Imus tide. I think he could have been given much more time off for bad behavior but should not have received from MSNBC and CBS Radio what amounts to corporate capital punishment.

Talk show host Don Imus' situation worsened Wednesday, when MSNBC announced that it would no longer simulcast the "Imus in the Morning" radio program.
Rutgers University called a press conference today to respond to radio host Don Imus calling them "nappy-headed hos," and the team announced that it will have a private meeting with Imus to discuss the players' reaction to his comments.
"That MSNBC has completely obliterated the U.S' history of aggression towards Iran at a time when the Bush administration is trying to drum up militaristic fervour amongst the population with a possible view to another imperialistic war against that country is an utter disgrace."

Interesting move, considering he's got a feature on his show, "Beat the Press", that's all about trashing news anchors for just this kind of thing.
An MSNBC producer got drunk on air last night, in order to test the theory that it was the booze that made Mel Gibson launch into his Jew-bashing tirade.

At 32 percent, FNC gets the nod for the highest credibility rating among Republicans and the lowest among Democrats (22 percent). Only the print publication Newsweek is met with more skepticism by Democrats (21 percent). Those numbers neatly
