Your Corporate Media

8:54 pm EST August 8th, 2009 | Media | 14 Comments

This is pathetic of MSNBC. Pathetic. And you know what? It’s pathetic move by News Corp. as well. Bill O should be free to criticize Olbermann, and vice versa.

Despite the renewed tensions, Mr. Murdoch and his counterpart at G.E., Jeffrey R. Immelt, are still seeking a truce in a feud that has embarrassed both companies, said three employees at the companies with direct knowledge of the situation. Mr. Murdoch was said to be particularly incensed by Mr. Olbermann’s and Mr. O’Reilly’s sniping.

The deal extends beyond the prime-time hour that Mr. Olbermann and Mr. O’Reilly occupy. Employees of daytime programs on MSNBC were specifically told by executives not to mention Fox hosts in segments critical of conservative media figures, according to two staff members. The employees requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal matters.

    God knows MSNBC has uber high standards, and uber high ratings.

    Fox’s ratings are the product of deliberate lies believed by stupid viewers. P.T. Barnum would be proud, save that P.T. Barnum loved America, and no Fox employee or believing view does.

    “God knows MSNBC has uber high standards…”

    Compared to the F(R)NC, it does.

    I’ve always thought the Olbermann-O’Reilly cage match would be GOOD for their business.

    Ha. Watch ‘Mr. Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar’s’ most polished interview skills here, if you can stomach it.

    And yet the “media is liberal”? Cognitive dissonance is a hoax.

    “Really high standards.”

    As opposed to the F(R)NC, who didn’t fire Glenn Beck or at least force him to apologize for joking about putting poison in Nancy Pelosi’s wine. The standards of that network are through the roof.
