No I Can't

Ok, I know it's been a while, and this is going to mark a bit of a shift in this blog. Instead of the periodic long entries, I'm going to work towards several shorter entries. Enjoy.

MSNBC has gone off the deep end. The network used to be the news network I could turn to for balanced coverage and a variety of viewpoints. What the hell happened?

While sitting here, hammering away on a story for The Student, Contessa Brewer just let me know that I can order a video documentary on Barack Obama called "Yes We Can". Ummm... yeah... that's some honest journalism right there.

But that's really just the tip of the iceburg. How about that primetime lineup? Keith Olbermann? Rachel Maddow? Chris Matthews? Are you kidding me?

Now, don't get me wrong, all these characters, short maybe of Olbermann, have a legitimate place as news commentators. However, to put them all back to back on primetime TV is nothing less than obsurd.

I just wanted to tell you that I love reading these. You're such a smart ass about things and it makes me laugh. Hopefully politico.com can still give you balanced news coverage. Thanks for making them shorter. After reading some of them, I think it's safe to say that you're going to be extremely successful as a journalist. Keep blogging! I enjoy reading these instead of doing my homework.

PS.I bet you ordered that "Yes We Can" documentary! :)Don't lie.
