Anyone else love the irony of the MSNBC "Special Report?"

[John_H]

Their doing sanitized, rah rah "coverage" of D-Day. Which is fine until you realize that it's identical to their coverage of the Bush Administration. Pretty depressing.

On Edit: LOL! They're even spinning the casualty totals. "Some expected 20K causalties, but it looks like it won't be that bad." And the "French government caved in quickly to the Nazis." Too funny.

1. You mean the one where they're pretending it's happening now?

Lester Holt reporting D-Day as if it was today? Too gimicky. I would expect something like this from Fox.

2. i've been cracking up for the past 20 minutes

and contemplated starting a thread about it - its fucking nuts, insanely determined clenchjaw Lester Holt anchoring a blizzard of blandness...

can you imagine having this crew during WWII instead of Murrow, Shirer, et al...

videophone "embedded" coverage of nothing in particular... FOX would have tons of German-American Bund people on...

O'REILLY: "Alright, now I'll give Mister Goebbels the final word."

EDIT: BWHAHAHAH! Lester and my favorite bourbon-slurred ex-General, Barry McAffrey, are playing with toys!

Just like one the eve of shock and awe, when Lester Holt clutched a toy bomber with a gee whiz expression.
