MSNBC is no more...

[MG1968]

Microsoft, NBC dissolve MSNBC.com joint venture

Microsoft, in particular, had grown frustrated by contract terms requiring it to exclusively feature MSNBC.com content on its own websites. That exasperation was exacerbated by the MSNBC cable channel's strategy to counter Fox News Channel's appeal to conservative viewers by tailoring its programming for an audience with a liberal viewpoint.

The strategy fed a perception that material from MSNBC's website was politically slanted, too.

"Being limited to MSNBC.com content was problematic to us because we couldn't have the multiple news sources and the multiple perspectives that our users were telling us that they wanted," said Bob Visse, general manager of Microsoft's MSN portal and a board member of the former MSNBC joint venture.

a diplomatic way of saying that Ed Schultz and Rev. Al Sharpton are embarrassments to journalism and Microsoft no longer wants to be associated with the organization that employs them

My grave concerns about the quality of education at the University of Tennessee are reinforced by the title of this thread when compared to the content.

Do they present themselves as journalists?

for you to express outrage over a slightly misleading thread title is hilarious

btw, since you're a lawyer and swim in a sea of technicalities:

MSNBC.com has been rebranded as NBCNews.com. Anyone typing MSNBC.com into a Web browser is now being automatically redirected to NBCNews.com.

The website will move its headquarters from Microsoft's corporate campus in Redmond, Wash., to NBC News' longtime home in New York.

technically speaking, MSNBC is gone if only in title

"Slightly" ?

My concerns are justified.

Reading comprehension even worse than I thought.

[milohimself]

msnbc.com was pretty much a separate entity and a reasonable news service, but that sounds like a bad deal for MSN any way you cut it.

 

[milohimself]

So will the tv channel be changing its name?

My grave concerns about becoming (even more of) a pompous, arrogant d-bag after completing law school are reinforced by your asinine presumptions when presented with any opportunity to offer your two cents on any subject.

btw LG, if I'd wanted to emulate you and go full-retard regarding the thread title, I could have taken this route:

The MS no longer exists.

So will MSN take down Google News?

Very nicely done.

Oddly, I have the nonexistent MSNBC on right now.

Would've never pegged you for the MSNBC-type.

I was planning just to reprogram the remote to insert a live channel in place of the snow, but lo and behold it's still on.

Mystifying.

Not to get this off subject, but where is Jackson Harris? Is he around anymore?

Oh...MSNBC.

 

[lawgator1]

She's smarter than the 'tards opposite her at Fox.

Course that's not saying much.

 

[gsvol]

Is CNN next? They've lost 50% of their viewers in the previous twelve months.

Maddow is smarter than anyone?

Give me a freaking break.
