You think MSNBC sucks? Try watching MSNCB "International" online.

It's the same programming, but no real commercials. Every commercial break is fill with promos for Morning Joe or Chris Matthews. I'd rather see the ads for Viagra or heart medications or the cancer place. Jesus. Instead, there are Prison Weekend ads. MSNBC really sux. That sad part is, they suck less than the others.

GE is moving away from fabricating armatures in favor of information processing of some sort.

And what can you say about BDO? They accomplish things that I can't imagine even exist! Know what I mean?

If you've been abroad and have seen CNN International, it's a totally different thing. Different anchors (real people, not blonde models and Barbie doll TelePrompter readers), reporting real news.

"MSNBC International" is just MSNBC without the American commercials. They just endlessly promote Prison Weekend.

a touch of establishment liberalism to Trojan Horse folks into watching it.
