MSNBC just interupted one of its programs for BREAKING NEWS!! What could be so important? They had live footage of John Mark Karr’s plane landing in Colorado.
Are they trying to become a caricature of themselves? How lame can cable news get?
I was hopeful that things would improve at MSNBC when Dan Abrams took over. He made a couple of good moves, like dumping yanking Rita Cosby’s show. But now we’re getting tabloid TV at its worst with the Jon Bonet coverage, and the nightly “Doc Block” documentaries are embarrassing. Instead of covering violent prison life over and over and over again, do you think a news organization like NBC could manage a documentary or two on the Middle East, stem-cell research or some other issue affecting our nation?
Meanwhile, MSNBC seems to have stopped covering the Iraq War. Maybe their reporters need a break following the around the clock coverage of the war in Lebanon, but some coverage of the fiasco in Iraq seems appropriate.
Pathetic. I can’t watch FOX. Maybe I’ll have to go back to CNN.
