At what time will the Doc Blocks begin?
….Sorry, but after the Thanksgiving weekend & all of the docs aired, MSNBC deserves some ribbing.

Is a LIVE edition of “Ed” really necessary at midnight??

I can’t recall, offhand, whether there was much criticism from the above hosts of candidate Obama’s strong pro-Afghan war statements during the campaign.
Anyone recall?

No… but I could say the same for the afternoon/evening show too…

MSNBC runs incessant Doc-Blocs, everybody complains (including me); MSNBC programs a live late-night hour following the speech, everybody complains. I swear, some of you guys have a Pavlovian response to a certain five letters.

seems like MSNBC is the main thing to b*tch about in cable news these days. id complain about CNN more, though. their programming is atrocious. however, their weekends are a good alternative so i dont have to watch lockup and predator (which i find kind of entertaining, actually).

“No… but I could say the same for the afternoon/evening show too…”
