Is GE's Baby "MSNBC" becoming CNN over the Nuclear Debate?
General Electric, war profiteer, nuclear power and fissionable material supplier... partial owner of MSNBC...

has given Obama more balanced press than any other source...

are they backpedalling now because the election is heating up?

Do they want WW3 as much as Clinton and McCain?

1. They want McCain to win. They always have.
But in order to keep their propaganda arm, MSNBC, running without looking like the embarassingly-subsidized Moonie Times, they need viewers. The network won't be taken seriously unless they're perceived as "real."

The untapped market is the disaffected left, those kids with credit cards and those wealthy and well-off enviro-leftists. They provide the cash to the commercial advertisers, and make the channel a self-sustaining entity.

They'll lead them along by the nose, with "Keeeeeeeith" selling them on the purity and wonder of the network, and how lefty/FAIR they are, because, of course, they have "Keeeeeeith,".... and then, with regretful tones, they'll find a way to stick the knife in the Democrat at the "opportune" moment.
