[lbo-talk] MSNBC: straight from the center

[Doug Henwood]

This is from a WSJ piece on MSNBC's postwar strategy:


>Long criticized for lacking clear brand identity, MSNBC hopes to 
>play off the perceptions that CNN bends leftward and Fox News 
>rightward. "I want MSNBC to be known as the 'straight shooter' news 
>channel," Mr. Sorensen says.

My god. CNN is left, and the network that dumped Donahue to hire 
Savage is the center? What a loony bin America is.
