I am also in Kevin's camp: it's precisely because I know how good and

I think the heart of the the problem is that MSNBC doesn't have the
balls to -be- a liberal network.
I doubt that GE, or Comcast, or Disney, or anyone else who can afford
it, is looking to present a really liberal network. Current and
potential advertisers are unlikely to buy time on a program
Off topic, but generally TNR refers to the similarly named but more liberal

Kitts is an old friend of Joe's. Joe hosts an opinion program and is
not a news reporter.
Well, NewsCorp contributed $1 million to a Republican group earlier this year.
No way would they crack down on their staff for similar stuff.
