MSNBC or now NBCNews: past, present and future nicknames

RESIZE: AAA

“MSNBC” is no more. It is now “NBCNews.com.”

From the New York Times:

Microsoft and NBC Complete Web Divorce
By BRIAN STELTER
Published: July 15, 2012
The site became NBCNews.com, signifying the end of a relationship between NBC and Microsoft that dates back to the earliest days of the commercial Web. Early next year, MSNBC.com will be reborn as a stand-alone site for the cable channel MSNBC, ending the brand confusion that has plagued the site in the past.

Say a sad goodbye to (in rough order of origination):

PMSNBC
MSNBS
MessNBC
MSDNC
MSLSD
MSLGBT
Moonbats Spouting Nothing But Crap

It’s now “Nothing But Crap,” the once and future nickname of NBC News.

MSNBC or NBCNews is such straight-from-Obama’s White House talking points all the time that it’s actually must viewing for opposition research. The current MSNBC scandal is that Mitt Romney lied–LIED! HE’S A LIAR!–about when he left Bain Capital. Meanwhile, the administration lies about everything (especially Obamacare) constantly. These are much bigger “lies” that actually mean something, but not to MSNBC.

Who can forget when NBC doctored audio to make George Zimmerman sound like a racist? Or the non-coverage of Fast & Furious? Or when Rachel Maddow told everyone that Fast & Furious was just a Fox News story with no real meaning, never mentioning Obama’s executive privilege, an attorney general lying under oath, or even the names of the dead bodies in the scandal.

The name shouldn’t be MSNBC or NBC News. It should be J-O-K-E.

Propagandize away, Nothing But Crap!

    These liberals have poisoned their own well. And they still can’t figure out why NBC is the lowest rated network.

    “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 MSN.com.

    “There is no question that we are going to have more flexibility to make our own decisions,” said Vivian Schiller, NBC News’ chief digital officer. “This is really an amicable breakup. We think competition will make us better.”

    So it sounds like MSN readers thought MSNBC was too liberal and NBC thought it was too conservative.

      was going to do something anything about “Dose Guys”.
      Then I found out by accident ‘The Bigs at Comcast’ are board members of DreamWorks, {see: J Katzenberg} and it starts to come together.

      It’s either gonna be :
      * Same ol’ crap with enhanced graphics and thunderous sound effects, with Director’s Cuts for varied endings.
      OR….
      * A total re-work , and re-labeling , publically heading for The Middle
      but over time, “Evolving “, so they’ll never be seen as : ‘on the wrong side’.

      So Disney owns ABC and DreamWorks runs/controls NBC.
      Why does this make me anxious….?
