Does MSNBC's "Lean Forward" mean or signify anything to you?

[old mark]

Just nonsense marketing, IMO...

1. It would have made more sense to have been "LOOK FORWARD"

As a poster here pointed out when it first appeared, lean forward is what they tell you to when you are constipated..LOLOL

[old mark]

3. Never thought of that, but I eat a lot of fruit and seldom have that problem...

(Have a great christmas, BL!) :hi:

2. Well, makes me think of someone standing up against a wall or over a car hood...

...with cops about to do something nasty to them.

Otherwise?

Not particularly.

responsively,

4. Its funny, if you..

lean forward too much you fall flat on your face.

[old mark]

6. I think that may be an unintended consequence.....nt

[AndrewP]

5. It's just words

[EFerrari]

7. Lame and tentative Corporate McPravda slogan.

"We flirt left"

lol

[Ineeda]

8. I took it to mean

that they didn't lean right or left, politically. Whether that's reality or not is up for interpretation.

[Guilded Lilly]

15. Yup. That was my take on it.

[TexasObserver]

9. a terrible marketing slogan

[eShirl]

10. too similar to "Bend over."

[hlthe2b]

11. Look Forward, Move Forward, Go Forward--all would make

more sense....

[Marr]

12. Drink Coca-Cola.

It doesn't mean anything. None of this marketing bullshit means anything.

[Motown_Johnny]

13. it means that the messaging of all non conservatives sucks ass

[BrklynLiberal]

25. By George, (Lakoff, that is) I believe you have hit the nail on the head!

[DJ13]

14. It means this to me

[asjr]

16. Someone is going to fart?

17. Jon Stewart had a piece on this

Apparently, Fox and CNN felt upstaged, so they responded with their own slogans *trumping* lean forward.

Fox: Move Forward

CNN: Move Truth Forward


Stewart's punchline:
Yeah, I'm going to start a shoe company and my slogan will be Just Really Do It

[FrenchieCat]

18. Bunch of shit from Corporate media owners

to give us something to talk about.

In reality, like its brethens, MSNBC all too often leans forward in disinformation and manipulation. Nothing to be proud of.....
At least they've got a couple of hours of programming that one can stomach...which is more
than I can say about those other blowhards who call themselves news channels.

[old mark]

19. I was half-listening to MSNBC while reading DU on my downstairs computer

and it occurred to me that "Lean Forward" is completely meaningless...they must have paid someone a half-million dollars to come up with it.

Are they trying to suggest their programming is totally out of touch with reality?

20. Reminds me of looking forward rather than backward.

Which means I feel like shenanigans/a hosing are in the air.

[bluestate10]

21. Yes.

I says to me that if I want change, I must take responsibility for making change happen. While I am not and never will be a limited government type, I also realize that ethical people working to do good by the fellow citizens have more impact than government.

22. "If you sprinkle when you tinkle...lean forward." n/t

23. I think Lean Floorward is more appropriate

or Lean Forehead
