Earlier version mentioned that MSNBC Online used Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player -- I think that was refering to the fact that their web site was atrocious with any other browser. But nowdays it works equally well with Mozilla/Netscape, it also makes extensive use of Flash, so the idea that it is an "IE-specific" site no longer applies. -- Nate 02:08 Dec 21, 2002 (UTC)
I've never seen it. Has anyone else? - Sekicho 03:38, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC) The Redmond Newsroom is there I live in Washington state and I've been there.
As far as I knew, Headline News had passed MSNBC for third place in the cable news ratings. Are we positive MSNBC is still third? Even the commercials for Headline News tout that they've moved up. Beginning 21:56, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
Overall, MSNBC is still in third place. Remember -- HLN craters in prime time.
MSNBC.com does have a newsroom in Redmond -- and there is a flash cam position there. A new show hosted by Ron P. Reagan will be anchored from Washington. - Boisemedia
I removed the line about MSNBC being renamed NBC News Channel. Until some credible source can verify this (and Drudge's blind sources don't count), it shouldn't be here. Boisemedia 02:03, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
Umm i dont know if this is any good as proof (see bottom of article) http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/msnbc/williams_couric_demonstrated_the_depth_breadth_of_nbc_news_23513.asp
That is 2-3 years old! All people mentioned are no longer with NBC News and MSNBC.
Leans left? Despite his democratic credentials, he's pretty centrist, actually, and claims to have voted for Bush at least once. Check out his profile at media matters. I am changing the description to "centrist" for the time being. If you can think of a better descriptor, go for it, but not "leans to the left." 68.110.199.122 14:52, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
At the moment the 2nd para says: Chris Matthews, although admittedly supported George W. Bush for president, was a former speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter, brings a far-right viewpoint What??!! Is that the resolved decision or is it silly vandalism?
Wow the person who made a recent edit in the edit summary said that Matthews was pro Iraq war.....um no he was never for the war in Iraq maybe you should do some research before making edits. 69.218.8.5 20:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
lugnuts6 made some very extensive questionable edits of this article. can any of his information be confirmed?
I am trying to piece together the history of MSNBC. Hopefully this will not turn out to be a POV-contentious issue like the other two news channels (and the fact is that there is a lot less stuff out there on MSNBC, which helps in cutting the volume down). I am working on it chronologically and so it will look somewhat abrupt at times, so bear with me. Unfortunately the sources are all newspaper articles dredged up from Lexis Nexis that would be painful to cite, but if anyone really wants me to do it, let me know and I can certainly reference whatever is necessary.

Did Dan Abrams write this article? I mean, this entire thing sounded like a commerical. Please be careful about the language you use on this article, and please watch out for people who want to use this article for their own opinions on the subject. I enjoy MSNBC too, but that doesn't mean that this article should sound like it's been sponsored by them. dposse 22:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I've not participated in editing this article, but I don't see how it sounds like an advertisement. I found it informative. If it were an advertisement, I don't think it'd have a relatively large section titled "ratings freefall."
I just edited this article. I removed alot of POV crap from the article, and put "citations needed" where it was required. I didn't touch the ratings section. dposse 17:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm not too sure that MSNBC is portmanteau of MSN and NBC. Back when this channel was formed, Microsoft practically forgot they had an isp until one day they decided they wanted to compete with AOL. This day came long after the formation of this channel. Actually, I think it's just MS(Microsoft)/NBC(NBC).-- Attitude2000 22:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
This section has some of the most POV and unsubstantiated crap I've seen around here. I tried editing some of it to tried to lessen the "MSNBC suxxorz" tone and add some {{ Fact}} tags to no avail. It should not be there if it can't be edited to show at least the semblance of NPOV. I don't doubt many of the points made are true, but they can't be presented that way. This is not a blog.
No change in a month; these are the two POV-filled, unsourced pointless paragraphs I trimmed from the section:
In order to make this page look less like an advertisement, I have gone through the painful yet necessary process of sifting through Lexis-Nexis and citing sources. No book has ever been written about MSNBC (yet there are several on Fox News and CNN), so most of the content will necessarily come from newspapers and magazines. If there is a disagreement, please cite a source instead of deleting the reference. Thank you. Calwatch 05:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
