MSNBC, you’re losing me

When the Wall Street Journal writes that MSNBC is ramping up it’s online news efforts…

“Instead of selling itself as a “breaking news” destination, as it once did, the site is trying to highlight the range of news and entertainment it offers.”

…all I can think is, “Great, more Anna Nicole Smith ‘news.’ ”

I am a media junkie — Web, print, broadcast, podcast — and I love MSNBC. Something about it just feels better than all of the other TV outlets. But damn, those folks are losing me quickly. I can’t stand one more damn minute about Anna Nicole Smith or Paris Hilton.

For god’s sake, Joe Scarborough used to be a damn congressman. Now his show’s “highlight” is a segment called “Hollyweird.” It’s nice that he’s not fawning over the celebs, but doesn’t he have better things to talk about?
