1. Is MSNBC covering it? It's on Comedy Central and somebody said it's on one of
the C-Spans. Hopefully this will be a trial balloon and they'll begin live programming sometime in the future?

I know they're going to have a special SUNDAY night live coverage of the election (I'm a bit "huh?" about Sunday instead of Tuesday, or Monday even). We'll see. :hi:

9. Yeah, but what are they going to talk about on Sunday night that they haven't
been saying the past few days and will still be saying on Monday? That's cool, though -- I'm happy they're live on a weekend! :hi:

8. Pay close attention to the MSNBC narrative. They are doing the left no big favors.
Tim Russert's kid is downplaying the numbers.

They just cut to Lady Blah Blah.

Pay attention to the tone and the spin. And most important, the subtle messaging they do.

12. Is Russert's kid giggling as usual?
He always looks like he just smoked a bowl.

13. Doesn't NBC own the Comedy Channel??
I noticed NBC was not on the list with ABC, CBS, AP, NY Times, and NPR?

14. Viacom does - which is owned by the same company as CBS
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 02:51 PM by muriel_volestrangler

CBS went into one corp, MTV, Comedy Central, Nickleodeon into another (which retained the 'Viacom' name).
