MSNBC ... a veer to the left? Convince me I'm wrong .......

[Stinky The Clown]

I was listening to Stephani Miller for a few minutes in the car this morning. Apart from her mentioning DU and a quote from DUer Ocelot (cited in another thread), she also spoke about MSNBC. She said it appears they have their finger in the wind and the wind is telling them to move left. She mentioned both Scarborough and Carlson suddenly claiming they're libertarians (Tucker has always sorta claimed to be).

Her comments peaked my ear. I've posted about this before. I really do think there's a shift in the works at MSNBC and that the shift is good for us. Here are three recent posts on mine on this topic.

If there's a shift, it might be best to ascribe it to grovelling for viewers. It may be craven ratings numbers moving them. It might be just to sell more ad time. Frankly, I don't give a crap why. I'm only interested in us getting better on-air treatment and getting a place to say things they way **we** want to say them. I only want a truly honest news report. Its the results that matter more than the reasons.

Again, what do you think? Am I nuts? Do my rose colored glasses need cleaning? Convince me I'm wrong.
