MSNBC gets worse spot than Al Jazeera

A random observation: NBC News has possible some of the worst seats in the house, tucked away so far to the side of the Xcel Energy Center that it has a partially obstructed view of the stage. To the right of NBC is Al Jazeera, which has a slightly better view of the stage.

MSNBC, which is affiliated with NBC, is widely considered to be the more liberal of the cable news networks (with Fox to the right, and CNN somewhere in the middle). Fox and CNN have equally-good press areas, mirroring each other on opposite sides of the stage.

The tension between the parties and the media has escalated over the past few days, as Republicans have accused the media of bias in its coverage of VP candidate Sarah Palin.

While having tense relations with the press is new for McCain, who has historically culitivated a very friendly and open with reporters, accusing the press of bias in the face of unfavorable coverage is common.

Clinton’s people did it during the Monica Lewinsky affair.

And the Bush administration lobbed similar accusations against the New York Times and the Washington Post when they published stories about the CIA’s secret prisons and domestic wire-tapping programs.

Is that appropriate or what!! Al-Jazeera is to the right of MSNBC politically, and now physically!

(Note that Keef was left behind in NYC this week, to  prevent fisticuffs among the MSNBC talking heads.)

They earned the worst spot in the convention center through their hard work and perserverance.  They have nobody to thank but themselves.

If Keef had been allowed to show up, I have no doubt the RNC would have stuck them on the roof if they could get away with it.
