Possible to win over MSNBC with Votergate?

Olbermann's been the only source to run with it every night this week. And I believe Hardball is to weigh in today.

I bet if we all consistently choose MSNBC, and consistenly tell them WHY, the Votergate story could be the thin edge of the wedge, possibly a step towards getting a more liberal POV out there.

Let's show them that coming from the opposite POV of Faux news can also be profitable -- let's subvert them into the anti-Faux, let's woo them with eyeballs. :evilgrin:

Thoughts? Think it might work?

1. I still don't trust

Hardball Mathews is politically bi-polar at best......

2. If they return Donahue

I will consistently make them my source for news. But when they dump Donahue pre-war and bring in Scarborough, they cannot be our network. I am still hoping for Gore to give us a media outlet.

3. The only reason Hardball is doing a story on voting problems is that...

Olbermann is probably getting higher ratings than he is. I'll bet that Matthews is seeing the incredible response Countdown is getting and he's jealous.

Just my humble opinion.

4. That's exactly my point.

Reward one show with high ratings for good journalism and paying some attention to issues that concern us, and the rest will follow, eh? Maybe?

5. However, David Shuster (hardball reporter) Seems to Be on Top of Things

As promised, our examination of the vote in Ohio and Florida continues. At this point, I've seen enough to conclude that the congressman demanding a GAO (Government Accountability Office) investigation is not nuts... at least not on this issue.
