It is abhorent, it is a disservice to the public, but it is business.

If these news agencies lose profits, it's no skin off my nose.

The Obama administration has even been talking about imposing nationally what kind of news can be broadcast.

Guess what kind of news is OK and what kind of news isn't OK.


NBC has failed, and continues to fail. They deserve their diminishing audience. And stockholders deserve financial loss.
Please post a link to information about this and your other theories.

Even if it is slanted, they at least make an effort to draw in people and discuss the issues and to sell their position. MSNBC and liberal talk radio look down on their viewers and listeners and just tell them what they want to hear and make no effort to reach anybody else. MSNBC,Air America, by idiots for idiots.
Some of that MSNBC propaganda that I watch every night, idiot that I am, cause of course I want to hear about these tragedies:

Rachel Maddow Show

Rachel Maddow Show

Rachel Maddow Show

"Some people" would include me and the President. This is the only issue I agree with Obama on.


Because not winning in Afghanistan will do two things.

First it will signal to the terrorists that they can beat us and therefore they will attack us with greater frequency and ferocity.

Second and more importantly, it will signal to those in the Muslim world who are currently our tenuous allies, that we cannot be trusted. That we do not have the ability to stand under pressure and they will turn to the radicals thus giving terrorism national support across the Muslim world.

We cannot afford to lose, neither in Iraq, nor in Afghanistan.

Not anymore. If Leno's show does not make it in the ratings they might as well close up shop, that is unless Obama bails them out. I wouldn't be surprised he does when they might as well change their name to OBC.

Exactly. In terms of numbers how many people watch NBC is peanuts compared to FOX. Yet some righties are trying to tell us we're sheep to whatever MSNBC says. Hello, no one watches MSNBC. What's all the fuss about? If anything this proves it's the righties that are sheep to FOX.

NBC is married to Obama. Married to the Democratic Party actually.

Many people ( potential voters ) are too young to understand what fair journalism was and should still be.

If you want to go through life believing that "what you want to hear" is ( because of your political bent ) reality, then you are fooling yourself.

NBC and it's affiliates have found out how easy it is to report only what fits it's agenda.

Agenda?

NBC has lost all credibility. When Obama screws America -- NBC praises him, and nods it's head in approval. Rainbows, and unicorns running through a field - free from hunting and plants aplenty used for fuel.


As reality sets in, the blind are still blind. NBC will not budge. They choose to paint a pretty picture, concerning progressivism.

Idiocy reigns in the head office. As fantasy seperates from reality and responsibility, NBC holds steadfast in it's commitment to Obama ( even reporting falsehoods to push a stupid philosophy ).


If reality is that the ship is going down, NBC will go down with the ship. And it's doing a good job of taking millions of Americans with them.

What are those Americans called? Oh Yeah ...... Sheep.
gee you could replace NBC with FOX and you might have a point!
At least NBC doesn't invent the news! ala Obama is a Muslim!
