We already have plenty of "dissenting opinions" on other networks. This is about talent (and the lack thereof at MSNBC).
Talent? Your post is the first time the word "talent" was used in this thread. So tell us, why do you believe there is a lack of talent at MSNBC, how about some examples. And please talk about talent, not about opinions you disagree with.
That was the first time
any adjective was used for describing MSNBC in this thread. And no, sir, I don't have to provide examples to you. If you put Olbermann, Maddow, and the string of young'un anchors during the daytime in the same realm as a talented news & editorial team, so be it. Whether you find yourself alone in that group is obviously up to others to decide. I, for one, won't subscribe to the notion that I'm getting news from a talented group of people when I'm watching MSNBC. No political bias there at all; I believe the same thing about Fox News, CNN, and Headline News. MSNBC is in it for the entertainment value;
talent with regard to news reporting matters not to them.
If you're looking for a political soapbox, "sack", go somewhere else.
