FNC and CNN go with Vick, MSNBC sticks to political gameplan…

Both FNC and CNN took the Michael Vick presser live. MSNBC, which has been devoting today and tomorrow to the Lance Armstrong Presidential forums on Cancer, stayed with Chris Matthews and Lance Armstrong talking with Hillary Clinton. Must have been a tough call for MSNBC; go live with the sensational Vick story or stick to its political branding effort.

  2. i have no idea why they did that lance armstrong thing that early in the day, there was too much breaking news, they should have dumped it in favor for the gonzo news and the vick stuff.

  3. MSNBC sticking with promoting the Clinton campaign over breaking news? I’m shocked. Shocked, I say.

  4. Bingo, bigred! No one can say it better that you just did!
    But I bet Chrissy was about to jump out of his chair.
    Of course, I don’t watch that ninny.
    Today’s breaking news stories evolved into the perfect storm of events that would sink this show.
