ChuckfromTacoma says: It seems as if, unless something spectacular happens that brings in the occasional cable news viewers that don’t know there is a better source than CNN, FNC dominates the first through seventh place positions and CNN and MSNBC battle over whats left over (except on the occasion that Nancy Grace slips in).
For the life of me, I can not understand how the management at CNN and MSNBC have just conceded to FNC in prime time. You would think that somebody at one of those networks could be creative and come up with a winner or that upper management would find somebody that could.
Could it be true what others have inferred, that MSNBC is just going along with Obama at the networks peril to gain GE contracts in other industry’s?

This Week: Karl Rove and David Plouffe Spar Over ‘Mission Accomplished’
In an extended "This Week" segment in which Obama adviser David Plouffe and Fox News contributor Karl Rove traded talking points, there were a few fireworks right at the end. After Rove spent most of his time attacking the CBO (a sport of political convenience), and Plouffe pushed back against the idea that Democrats would be better off letting healthcare reform die, the pair revisited a Bush-era battle over the "Mission: Accomplished" banner.
Networks Come Out In Full Force For The HCR Debate
In case you wanted to see everyone employed by cable news in a 12 hour period, turn on your TV today to watch the coverage of the health care reform bill that Democrats say they now have enough votes to pass. Sean Hannity, Megyn Kelly, Shepard Smith, Bill Hemmer, Bret Baier, Greta van Susteren, Bill O'Reilly, and Geraldo Rivera will be rounding out the Fox lineup, while over at CNN Wolf Blitzer, Candy Crowley and John King will be starting their coverage at 1 pm, with Larry King on at 9. Tune in and watch every talking head from these two channels as they try to find enough filler material to debate until we actually get a bill passed.
