MSNBC has breaking news....oh, wait....

Whoops! Sorry. They're showing "To Catch a Predator" reruns.

Ha. What a joke of a news network. I haven't watched them in quite a long time and I'm reminded why.

CNN has had very good reporting on the pirate story, along with analysis about how the military handles things like this, the type of training that goes on, how the commands are handled from the President on down, as well as legal analysis of the issue of piracy, UN resolutions, etc....

So during a commercial on CNN, I flip over to MSNBC and see...Chris Hansen! Internet predators! Maybe next they'll show a six-hour prison "doc block"!

I'm glad it doesn't cost anything to have that channel on my cable service. Even if the price was a nickel I'd cancel it.

1. They air those shows a lot.

MSNBC seems to have the most "taped" coverage of any of the three (CNN, Faux) cable networks.
I guess a lot of people watch those predator shows. I caught one or two of them but they didn't interest me.

2. They don't exist on the weekend.

4. Thankfully, they very very rarely exist at all on my TV.

3. I just posted the same thing on another thread

CNN just read a statement from Pres Obama and they're showing new video of Phillips.

5. Yep. They're the only news channel worth anyone's time.

But most people want the tabloid crap or the advocacy "journalism" on Fox and MSNBC.

6. Oh yeah? Ever watch Lou Dobbs?

[dem629]

7. A few times, but I don't tune in that hour. That's one bad show.

10. Zing!!!!

very good!

[dem629]

11. Where's the "Zing!!!!"?

There's one bad show on CNN. I'll take that over Fox's and MSNBC's pathetic lineups and just not tune in for that one hour.

12. Larry King sucks too. eom

[dem629]

13. Oh.

8. I hate CNN but at least they cover

news on occasions like this. GEM$NBC did have live coverage for a few hours.

9. That's surprising. But I'm sure I didn't miss anything.
