Msnbc Quotations

Whether you're talking about MSNBC or Fox or CNN, it's all about getting enough interest out there, sensationalizing the story in such a way that people are compelled to tune in.

As an individual, and I have to say as a person of color, the thing about being an 'other' in America is I really feel like you're bilingual. I'm from a small town in Wisconsin, but even when I'm in New York and I'm working for MSNBC or CNN, you're used to being the only black person in the room.

Depending on what state you live in, you may only have right-wing talk radio and FOX or CBN with MSNBC three hundred channels down the dial.

I have no problem whatsoever with a kind of political overview or an ideological overview for any of these outlets as long as it's transparent. We know where Breitbart stands, we know where Fox stands, where MSNBC stands. So, people go in with an understanding of that.

If there is a silver lining in the action of MSNBC against Keith Olbermann, it is that people will now pay more attention to the political role of corporate media in America.

Nobody can figure out what's going to happen with the market -- they're all guessing. Let's say CNN or Fox or MSNBC brings up a picture of a GI in a bad situation. The market takes a dip. Is that a fundamental or a technical move? No, it's a war-driven, live-video stream move, which means it's totally unpredictable.

On NBC, MSNBC and Hulu, you can size and cut clips to whatever length you want. Do online clips affect the TV market? I'm guessing not really.

After all, 88 percent of the Americans polled by MSNBC News said Dr. Kevorkian should be freed from prison.

Acquiring a controlling interest in MSNBC will allow us to fully integrate the channel into our news operations and our overall cable platform.

A lot of people don't read newspapers, and we don't have 24 hours a day of CNN, MSNBC and Fox just pounding you with war news.

In 1982, ESPN was just starting out, as was CNN. Fox, the network, and its Fox News Channel and its regional sports networks didn't exist. No MSNBC or CNBC. No USA Today. The Internet did not exist yet.

I'm a political analyst. I'm a political wonk. I read everything I can get my hands on as a contributor to the 'Weekly Standard.' Of course I read that. I read the 'National Review' on the right. I read 'Mother Jones' on the left. If I want a good laugh, I'll watch MSNBC or read 'The Nation.'

If you look on our air, you'll see two distinguishing things, either an NBC News ball cap or an MSNBC News ball cap. Either is fine with us. We'll advertise any way we can.
