I find MSNBC to be an acceptable alternative to FOX.

I find MSNBC to be an acceptable alternative to FOX.

I agree, in fact, I found their coverage to be better. I really enjoyed Bob Arnot and David Bloom. MSNBC's coverage was surprisingly good, without being "over the top" as I sometimes felt that Fox news was.

Me too. Scarborough is pretty much OK. And I think MSNBC's coverage in general has become less lib-baised. Beats the heck out of CNN.

I find MSNBC to be an acceptable alternative to FOX.

So do I.  CNN doesn't rate consideration, but when I tire
of watching the Fox talk crew, I try MSNBC .  Unfortunately
for MSNBC, I have grown so accustomed to the Fox folks
that I don't tire of them.

I find MSNBC to be an acceptable alternative to FOX.

True, but prior to the ascendency of Fox, MSNBC had lots of lefy commentators like Jonathon Alter, and Eric Alterman filling up air time. Fortunately the desire by GE to actually earn a profit on MSNBC has forced management to try to compete for the conservative viewers who have deserted the alphabet networks and CNN. I find it encouraging that MSNBC has given Joe Scarborough a slot opposite Greta Van Susteren.

I like MSNBC, too. But I'm not happy that they moved Hardball to the same time slot as Fox News Hour.

Matthews can be frustrating, but I consider him at least a "serious" democrat and he gets great guests. But, I'll miss his show if I have to choose between him and Brit.

Well ... Joe Scarborough is great - but I'd rather see the upbeat style of FOX any day.
