#1 Microsoft should be suffering as well. After all, they are the "MS" portion of this atrocity.

#2 They should change their name to BSNBC - in the interest of transparancy.

#4 Don't worry, with gobs of money from cable and satellite bundling the oligarchy will be able to protect their little petulant child from the horrors of the free market. Another case of affluenzia of the good old boy (and girl) economic social network.

#5 They can always get bought out by a rich billionaire. Worked for WaPo and the Times...

#6 A business is supposed to make money; MSNBC does not; therefore, MSNBC is a failure.

Sorry, but in this case, that conventional analysis is simply wrong. The goal here is not profit, but to keep the Democratic base riled up and feed them a steady stream of talking points and outrage. (Damn those Evil Koch Bros!) You can think of running the channel as an advertising expense for The Party. As P2K said, MSNBC is not going away due to their balance sheet.

Love the MSLSD crack, gorb!

#7 years ago microsoft sold all its interest in MSNBC to NBC which in turn is owned by COMCAST

COMCAST is not stupid; if they are losing money on this they will be looking for a buyer
