Ha ha ha the repub mediawatch dogs are upset because a totally embarassing newsblip came out concerning more inept behavior and say this blog and MSNBC lacks intelligence. Typical repub style. If this was a Dem administration FOX and its hounds would be all over it. Poor babies, it's always the media's fault when you guys do stupid things. Keep whining b/c the more you whine and put MEDIAWATCH or whatever you're hiding behind it just gets funnier and more embarassing for you.

MSNBC was launched on July 15, 1996 at 9 a.m. EDT, not in Redmond, but from studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The first show, which was anchored by Jodi Applegate, broadcast a lineup of news, interviews, and opinions.[2] During the day, rolling news coverage continued with The Contributors, a show that featured Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, as well as interactive programming coordinated by Applegate, John Gibson, and John Seigenthaler Jr. Stories were generally longer and more detailed than the stories running on CNN at the time.[3]
