    Anybody watch MSNBC?

    I used to watch "Hardball" with Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" show and Geraldo when he was on. Just read a news article that the legal affairs anchor Dan Abrams will now run the network. To my surprise, and the reason for this post, the network only averages 242,000 viewers daily, less than many big-city newscasts.

      Nope, except when it shows the Olympics.

        MSNBC is a TERRIBLE news source. It takes them about 3 minutes to report something that isn't news or offends me.

          MSNBC is BRUTAL. I like Chris Matthews, although some of the crap he says makes no sense. Obermann has been a joke from day one. I mean what the hell are they thinking? All he can do is try to rip on his competition, but it's weak since he's getting slaughtered in the ratings.

          They lured away also brutal Rita Cosby from Fox, which is nice if you like Fox because you don't have to listen to her anymore. But that didn't seem to work. I don't know how they even stay in business.

            Wow, I guess I'm in the minority as I happen to like watching MSNBC; I guess its due to the fact I like their presentation style over FOX and CNN.

              MSNBC seems to be the most neutral of the cable news outlets, so that's why I watch it.

              CNN, better known as Clinton News Network, leans way too far to the left. Fox News leans so far right that it's a propaganda extension of the Bush White House.

              MSNBC leans to the left, but not nearly as far as CNN. Plus it shows "Imus in the Morning," which I listen to on the radio or watch religiously.

                Pretty simple. You know what the MS in MSNBC stands for, right? One of the most cash-rich companies in the world.

                  MSNBC although better than CNN is still to lefty for me. Imus is a self proclaimed liberal, Matthews worked for Jimmy Carter, I do enjoy Tim Russert however. He really asks tough questions to both sides, so I enjoy him. His interview I saw a month or two ago with AL Franken was awesome.

                  He just went though his book and constantly pointed out how everything Franken said was fabrication. He's tough on everyone though, and that's why I like him.

                    My guess is that they cater to a more affluent viewer including a lot of business professionals. There show is peppered with luxury car and stock and bond commercials.
