[...] and Jane Hall. That in turn reminded me of a post we did this summer about an ad for MSNBC.com that aired during Hannity & Colmes. I thought at the time that it was lame for a competitor to be advertising on Fox News, but some [...]

I think that’s great! Take MSNBC’s ad dollars to target people who would never watch MSNBC! As the saying goes, “Sheep were made to be shorn,” pun intended.

Oh, by the way, Allahpundit, with your last few posts, you have proven why you are The Man. Keep up the good work.

I don’t even bother with NBC, ABC, CBS, & CNN. Much better coverage and more timely on HotAir. Keep up the excellent work. Sincerely, hillbillyjim

Seriously. Can you see that ad and not say to yourself, ‘fuller’ is MSNBC proving that ‘No Child Left Behind’ is not working.

Exit question two: What would Olby say?

“Ladies and gentlemen, you’re all sheep, I’m the shepherd. Many thanks for watching. Good night, and good luck”.

It’s kind of like the Beatles “Yellow Submarine” cartoon. I think a sheep is a perfect mascot for Mess-NBC.

CNN at one time seemed to be hiring every Fox news employee they could. There was a guy Spencer Christian who I think was the first to defect and after a couple of months reading the teleprompter he is now back on the local news in Atlanta. Good career move huh. Who can forget Rita “That voice grates my nerves” Cosby who made a much hyped move to MSNBC only to dissappear. I am surprised Greta hasn’t done a special on the missing blonde. And the latest which broke my heart was Kiran Chetry and her husband who also went to CNN. Kiran come back, all will be forgiven.
And yes I have CNN advertise on Fox for quite a while now which is always ironic. They do have Glenn Beck now who I enjoy on their Headline News channel and who apparentely has drawn the ire of Kuchinch for comments he made about the dwarfs wife. I don’t seem to remember the little one defending Fred!s wife when somebody else made some less then humorous comments.
Anyway it is all one big circus and while Fox has managed to stand out in the crowd mainly because they do still cover the news MSNBC has sank into the depths of obscurity much like Air America. The left still doesn’t get the message that the majority of Americans don’t like crybabies. That is all MSNBC comes across as anymore. Turn over there anytime of the day and it is the same song, different verse with no new perpective. If I want a heads up on what arguments Democrat lawmakers are going to use on a certain issue I watch to get the talking points but other then that more then 10 minutes on that channel makes me head for a quiet spot.

MSNBC seems to be running documentaries and movies during the evening instead of an MSNBC production. That seems like a death knell to me. Also, dumping Imus was a major blunder since his show seemed to have the highest ratings.

Time for the nutroots to boycott MSNBC for paying FOX News to run ads!

1. a Stealth F117 Loses control and crashes headlong into the ground….
2. cloning is legalized and takes over…
3. a gas pump 5000 miles long shoots out of an American colored and roughly shaped land mass and shoots across the map to drowned a square that we have already been visually cued to think is a land mass cut into squares…symbolizing Iraq. into a complete black hole…
4. that turns into red stripes covering blue stripes racing toward a goal…
5. next seen all squares are red… car speeds by loses control and spins out.
6. now all squares yellow baked hot by the global warming, and there are wind collectors…
7. Money Shooting out of the ground…
8. tornado destroying blue squares…
9 a satellite or a symbol of technology flies by and then all the squares on the entire globe explode….

mmmmm…. just my metaphorical interpretation

This is a very common media buying strategy done by national networks, buying time on competitors channels at the local market level. Everyone does it.

The funny thing is that ad for MSNBC on FOX got higher ratings than anything actually shown on MSNBC.

The next phase of their supersecret strategy is to air 30 to 60 seconds of MSNBC’s usual broadcast as an Ad on Fox News in order to see how many viewers they can get to change the channel.

“fuller” is that even a word? isn’t it “more full” ?

According to an editor of the Oxford Dictionary, yup, it is a word. According to her, if you want a word that doesn’t exist, make one up.

Headline coverage of space shuttle Atlantis launch today: FOX: NASA saves face reaches space ABC: Patched up Atlantis blasts off NBC: After tough six months Atlantis in space CBS: Shuttle Atlantis blasts off without major problems Nuance? I would fallen over if any would have applauded the successful launch in the headline without couching it with government(read BUSH) incompetence or doom.

I like the ad. As for the placement, that’s just local buys on competing networks. pretty standard stuff in the biz.

I’ve seen Fox ads on cnn headline news before. I think its pretty normal. Probably from a media buying company, but still.

If you’ve seen it then we have managed to clear that up before the weekend. I have only been subjected to CNN at the airport or the gym a few times in the last year or so.
