REDMOND, Wash. — NBC News has acquired full control of msnbc.com and its digital network from Microsoft Corp. and is immediately rebranding the site as NBCNews.com.

Many details of the arrangement remain to be worked out, and financial terms weren't disclosed.

But NBC News President Steve Capus said the site — one of the news industry's earliest and most successful online operations — would become part of NBC News Digital, a new division led by Vivian Schiller, the former president and chief executive of National Public Radio. Schiller joined NBC News as chief digital officer last year.

Oh, yeah, just for reference, Schiller left NPR after the Juan Williams kerfuffle. She’s the one who said he needed a psychiatrist, after he got fired for slipping the truth about Islam.

MSNBC was damaging the Microsoft brand. I wouldn’t be surprised if MS paid to get away from the train wreck.

...Vivian Schiller, the former president and chief executive of National Public Radio.

Getting popcorn ready for Juan Williams next appearance on Fox. IIRC, she was the one that canned Juan from NPR because he strayed too far off the liberal plantation and dared offer a contrary opinion or two. She got fired because she was indirectly involved with a media sting perpetrated by James O’Keefe (of ACORN sting fame) which brought out the liberal elitist opinion of conservatives as uneducated rednecks.

Vivian Schiller? She was the fat wad that NPR issued against Juan Williams.

I am sure that Microsoft is very happy to end any association with the collection of America-hating leftist loons at the former MSNBC. Microsoft should want nothing to do with lesbo Rachel Madcow, Sgt. Schultz, “Leg Tingle” Matthews, and the rest of the scum.

So they gave the gig to a leftard from NPR. No political incest or anything going on there, now is there?! And not the slightest chance that anything on that channel will be slanted left worse than the Tower of Pisa!/S

NBC News...

Can we just go ahead and call it Nothing But Communism News now, or should we actually wait a couple of weeks?

And strike up the band. However, in THIS situation I’m certain they’ll be forbidden from playing “Nearer My God, To Thee.”
