21. The only way to beat them
at their game of advertising and manipulation is to watch them off line. The media has become a total scam of twisting and manipulating Americans towards their beliefs, instead of investigating and informing us of reality.

Their game is inform us about stuff that means nothing while keeping us in the dark about stuff that is important.

16. Maybe it's updated.
There was a story about the Governor not 'conceding', but NOTHING about the protests going on right now.

14. I just realized
The only reason they put Rachel and Ed on is so we don't leave them. If you step back and look at their agenda, it's clear, They keep Rachel and Ed, so we get confused and stay.

15. On the US News page, there are three Wisconsin/union headlines:
Hundreds Defy Order to Vacate Wisconsin Capitol

Walker Shows No Sign of Conceding in Wisconsin Battle

Union Bargaining a Dream for Many State Workers

One could say that these don't exactly go out of their way to show the union side. I don't see a headline haven't to do with police joining the protest, for instance. But it would be hard to say that MSNBC is ignoring the event. Even on the breaking news page, if you click on the 'wisconsin' filter to the left, you get 7 headlines from today...more from previous days.

They could be doing more, but they aren't doing nothing.

20. I was referring to their main page and what they're calling "breaking news"
But yes, you're correct - there's news about the protest on the US news page.

27. Screw them all. They wouldn't lead with our story unless the dome
blew off. I say the hell with all corporate media. Let's all find alternate news sources.

SCREW THEM ALL! (I AM PISSED, CAN YOU TELL???)

note: Comcast is out of Philly

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Your_Call_with_Lynn_Doyle

It was rumored that Lynn Doyle was a secretary for one of the Roberts (owners of Comcast) when he thought it would be a great idea that SHE should have her own show!

41. Again today - NOTHING.
Meanwhile there are 100's of firefighters at the capital door - because, in spite of the fact that it's against the state constitution, people have been locked out.

42. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt over the weekend but this is clearly rigged now.
3 quarters of their audience is on here and are demanding coverage.
Something's fishy here.

43. MSNBC is GE's propaganda wing
Don't be fooled by a few "liberal" shows. If you think that MSNBC is "liberal" or even balanced, then you have to believe that the GE corporation would allow that.
