Politico: MSNBC prez defends convention team
By MICHAEL CALDERONE | 8/27/08

DENVER — Amid a spate of awkward on-air conflicts among MNSBC anchors at this week’s Democratic convention, some staff members say there are sharp internal disputes at the cable network over whether its opinion and personality-driven political coverage has crossed the line.

“The situation at our channel is about to blow up,” a high-ranking MSNBC journalist told Politico on Wednesday. Two other MSNBC sources said some of the testy on-air exchanges between Keith Olbermann — whose quick-witted and often caustic commentary has fueled ratings growth — and other network personalities were a public glimpse of much more intense behind-the-scenes turmoil.

As replays of the conflicts became YouTube hits, MSNBC President Phil Griffin gave his first public defense in a Politico interview. “MSNBC does not have an ideology,” Griffin said. “We hire smart people who are passionate about their love of politics and love of news.”

2. MSNBC has been heinous
 and has betrayed the public trust with its heavily tainted commentary (in both directions)
It urgently needs to get back to HONEST reporting.

Their real problem (and the problem with their ilk) is that they seem to think their
commentary is more important than the news they are supposed to be covering.

First thing I suggest... shitcan that rat****ing republican flak Joe Scarborough. Ugh.
What an insulting hairball of racist hate he is.



irony...I hardly knew ye...

6. And should be fired. There is no place for him on the airwaves.
 He has been getting worse, I feel his days are numbered.


What's that law the leftists are always going on about? Something about freedom of speach or equal coverage in the media?

Many commentators have appeared on FOX recently and said that they are the most "fair and balanced" news outlet this election cycle.
I think PA Gov. "Fast Eddie" Rendell was one of them.

Hey Mr. Olbermann why don't you just link everyone at the DUmp to your petition to get Joe kicked off.

Then you can brag about it to the Kos Kiddies again. :whatever:
