No More MSNBC...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that owned MSNBC.com, freeing the world's largest software maker to build its own online news service.
 
The breakup announced late Sunday dissolves the final shreds of a 16-year marriage between Microsoft Corp. and NBC News, which is now owned by Comcast Corp. The relationship began to unwind in 2005 when Microsoft sold its stake in MSNBC's cable TV channel to NBC.
 
NBC is buying Microsoft's 50 percent interest in the MSNBC website for an undisclosed amount. MSNBC.com will be rebranded as NBCNews.com, and readers who logged into MSNBC.com late Sunday were automatically redirected to NBCNews.com.


Looks like the biggest change will be on the website and the TV side will become NBCNews...which it has been for many years anyway.

1. UK Mail online

is reporting it is because MSNBC went to the left.
That is spin from a RW rag.

"Went to the left" would be a HUGE understatement. Oh, and when were they anything but...?

The reason Microsoft bailed on NBC is because they were probably tired of NBCs constant drain on them for being cheerleaders for the Democratic party. Commies are not the only people that use Software.

Now they can finally update their name to accurately reflect their views.

BS-NBC
DNC-NBC
DU-NBC
OMFGWTF-NBC

You get the idea.

Too bad we couldn't get lucky and they just turn the station off. With how bad the rating are, I am surprised it is still around.

To be fair, there is already signs of synergy between the proposed merger partners. They have both fired Kieth Olbermann.

-Also, notice how there was not one peep about 'media consolidation' after that suggestion was made. Curious that...

Since the same idiots watch both networks, how is this going to help their ratings?  Talk about rearranging deck chairs.

It's all relative. When you're beyond holy shit moonbat left, and into the "oh my ****ing god, flying moonbat doesn't even begin to describe it" realm like the DUmmies, even the Guardian can seem like a Tory mouthpiece.
