MSNBC is lazy. It shouldn't be hard to cover this inauguration. At least do SOME related...

They actually put money and resources into their reporting, unlike the others who go the cheap route of all talking heads

overseas investigative bureaus? I'm guessing the inauguration is the ONLY thing they can do.

programming!! Hell, even the History Channel is airing its rerun of "The Presidents".

It acknowledges that Reagan's economic policies created a recession--not many historians have had the cojones to do that.

all seem to be in a great mood, too. They're having fun.

it hard to take. Agree actual coverage was better than MSNBC.
