Have I walked into the Twilight Zone? MSNBC is doing Saturday newscasts all day.
Is it the Blizzard or Tea Party Convention that spurred this on?

2. They did it last weekend too
to replay and talk about the Obama smackdown of the GOP. What will we do without our weekend of Lockdown?

10. Yea. Ed was talking about that on his radio show. He didn't
sound too happy about it either. He took calls for almost an hour asking people to tell him what the teabaggers were FOR. He said everybody knows what they're against, but that's all.

4. They are probably practicing for their Winter Olympic coverage
Making sure their engineers are all ready and such. The last month or so they've had some incompetents in the control room. The talking heads will call for a video clip and it will not be ready to go. So they need to get on the ball for the Olympics or their coverage will be worse than ever.

16. I've noticed that "Brazil Butt Lift" seems to be on a lot lately.
I daren't watch it, though. I'm afraid it'll have Vince "We Can't Do This All Day" as the spokescritter. I get a little queasy just thinking of the possibility.

9. I think they are playing on until Sara speaks.. you know because its so important
blah, blah, blah. Honestly, she was an idiot when she was thrust upon us... she's still an idiot. How many times are they going to keep playing the village idiots' mascott.

12. Whenever CNN whips them with real coverage like
the devastation in Haiti GEM$NBC wakes up for a while.
I wish this moron would stop defending those American child traffickers who were posing as missionaries.

14. Thanks...
...I just assumed it was more prison/predator-type programming. I've had the channel on C-Span.

15. It's only been in the mornings live. Sometimes they rerun the live broadcast
after. I dunno. It's strange. I wish they would broadcast news on the weekend like CNN and maybe they are testing the waters.
