3. Yes! It happened when Chimp said Media was not showing good side of Iraq!
MSNBC and CNBC combined studios (at least it looks like that) and revamped formats to "Fluff" all day all the time.

Now the "revamping" of the studios was already scheduled, but how odd that the new studios unveiled the "hyped graphics, lights and action and "visual pop ups" over content. If you look at either MSNBC or CNBC it looks like the homepage of AOL when one logs on. Too much going on visually and nothing for the mind. Notice how on CNBC's the stock ticker and NASDAQ/DJIN have become very, very tiny on the bottom of the screen. I think they are gearing for the "Crash" alerting us that "Market Reporting" will be changed to Business Fluff in the future. Just to cover their butts that they don't report anything truthful anymore about our gasping Economy.

I won't even comment on CNN which follows the MSNBC/CNBC race to see "who can look the most like Faux!"

I turned it off and won't be back. I'll be interested to see what their "New Looks" do to their ratings in about a month.
