Something a lot of people don’t seem to be discussing is the merits of the actual rule requiring MSNBC/NBC employees to get approval before making political donations, and the further extreme stance of CNN barring it’s employees from the act. To me this is something that goes against the fundamental Constitutional right of Americans to […]
By now I’m sure everyone has heard that Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely from MSNBC for contributing to political campaigns without disclosing those contributions to his superiors at MSNBC. There has been a lot of back and forth over this decision in the blogosphere and twitterverse today. I have mixed feelings on the story. […]
MSNBC’s First Read has a really good round-up of what last night means for the Republicans: How do we make sense of Christine O’Donnell stunning Mike Castle in Delaware, Carl Paladino crushing Rick Lazio in New York’s GOP gubernatorial primary, and Kelly Ayotte and Ovide Lamontagne still running neck-and-neck in New Hampshire’s Senate GOP contest?

MSNBC has been covering this all night. Two weeks ahead of schedule, the final combat troops in Iraq are crossing the border into Kuwait. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Of course 50,000 troops will remain indefinitely in a non-combat capacity. Despite that number, this is still a huge […]

Well this should be an interesting combination: Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and 2010 Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Kathleen Parker will co-host a new hour long CNN primetime news program starting in the fall as the nation prepares for the 2010 midterm election, the network announced Wednesday morning. The yet-to-be-named “roundtable discussion” program will […]
Mediaite has obtained an email from MSNBC boss Phil Griffin to a viewer who was upset over Shuster not being on the air. Here’s what Griffin said: From: Griffin, Phil (NBC Universal) Sent: Wed 4/07/10 11:16 PM Sorry, but this is a business and I need team players. He was not moral, ethical or professional […]
From ABC: Federal air marshals subdued a man who authorities say attempted to “light his shoes on fire” on a United flight from Washington Reagan to Denver Wednesday night, federal law enforcement officials told ABC News.
