I think the only reason they did this was to keep the rest of their staff from getting up and leaving.

I dont think it had anything to do with trying to be less partisan in temrs of what is presented to the viewer.

WWS,

Until they balance their news rooms and editorial boards with real diversity they will never fix their problems.

Should Olbermann and Matthews be added to Sarah’s Body Count? hehe!

.
Political analysts in Alaska refer to the “body count” of Palin’s rivals.

“The landscape is littered with the bodies of those who crossed Sarah,” says pollster Dave Dittman, who worked for her gubernatorial campaign.

I find it very interesting that NBC has reacted like this – I had thought they were in the tank so far that they didn’t care what happened to their business. (don’t laugh, the New York Times is there)

I think there are two possible paths the MSM outlets can take for the rest of this campaign, both with interesting side effects.

First, and most likely (although maybe not as inevitable as I thought before this news): The media continues on as before, completely in the tank for Obama, trying to derail McCain and Palin as much as possible. As they’ve shown already, these attacks can only backfire.

Second possibility: the MSM, as NBC showed tonight, begins to become sensitive to the charges of bias and backs off. Maybe they even run something negative about Biden or Obama. Since they’ve been in the tank for them so long, the effect of this switch would be dramatic.

Now, as I write this I realize possibility 2 has pretty slim chances. But it does demonstrate that the MSM has blown it’s credibility so badly that it cannot help Obama anymore no matter what they do.
