I don't have MSNBC (or cable) so I use the website. So if I get bored of Christie getting Creamed, I'll check out the other stories, because, lo and behold, the networks COVERS MORE than just Christie!

Long story short- Yeah they cover Christie a lot, but it's certainly not the ONLY thing they cover. They cover the other important stuff as well.

Maybe Bill should just toke out in the evenings and go to the MSNBC website in the morning and pick what he wants to see.

Absolutely. And that is what Maher means by comparing it to Faux. That's that what they did sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #66

Correct. 840high Feb 2014 #101

MSNBC has been a joke for a long time (with a couple bright spots) NightWatcher Feb 2014 #4

Thats funny since Rachel has been kicking Fox New's ass lately! VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #51

Beating Fox doesn't change the fact that it is what it is NightWatcher Feb 2014 #55

Apparently it DOES....seems people ARE tuning in for EXACTLY what you are VanillaRhapsody Feb 2014 #60

An important note. Rachel is kicking ass in the demographic that matters. I think it's 18-49 or okaawhatever Feb 2014 #67

My question. What other news organizations? When there is only one that pushes against FOX, I see The Wielding Truth Feb 2014 #7

I agree with Bill in that there are more important things to talk about Vashta Nerada Feb 2014 #8

You don't have to hear those things on MSNBC. Your priorities aren't the be all/end all of the news. Tarheel_Dem Feb 2014 #10

They're not just "my priorities". Vashta Nerada Feb 2014 #14

So you say. That still doesn't make your wishes any more important than those who actually cover.... Tarheel_Dem Feb 2014 #20

Again, they're not my wishes. Vashta Nerada Feb 2014 #21

As head of the RGA, Christie and his cast of characters have national platform. So you couldn't be Tarheel_Dem Feb 2014 #30

Sorry. Vashta Nerada Feb 2014 #31

And who the hell is stopping you from caring about those things? Just because they aren't the..... Tarheel_Dem Feb 2014 #35

The problem for us MSNBC watchers is 4 hours a night on one issue is too much Hamlette Feb 2014 #18

Exactly. It becomes a 4 hour filibuster every damn night. BlueStreak Feb 2014 #25
