FYI: Crosby/Nash clip from Friday's "Hardball" is up on MSNBC site, but..

[ClusterFreak]

....you have to have Windows XP or 2000 to run their "MSN video enhanced" player....you'll see what I mean if you go to the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036697/ scroll down a little, and click on the clip.

p.s. what the hell is wrong with MSNBC....stupid, restrictive way to host vid clips...when you have to have only two specific kinds of operating systems or it won't work!!!

[ohio_liberal]

1. I think you just have to be using Internet Explorer

and Windows Media player. It's MSnbc, of course they're going to demand MS products. :(

[ClusterFreak]

2. I am using IE....I don't know what you mean...

...is there something I'm overlooking?

on edit: I also have Windows Media Player....and am running Windows ME....so I assume I can't play any clips from the site?

5. It says

I'm a Mac user. I hope this shows up somewhere else.

[ClusterFreak]

4. Yup. Me too....very frustrating!!

:rofl:

[lasttrip]

7. Did You Ever Wonder

what the MS in MSNBC stood for?

[silverweb]

10. Great interview!

Both men were so articulate and really hit the important points.

:thumbsup:

[walkon]

12. Totally Agree

Gregory was nervous and defensive. Best use of the minuscule time given by "our side" that I've seen lately. Although I confess that I don't watch cable new anymore.

Oddly enough I have been trying to learn "Lady of the Island" on guitar today.

[silverweb]

16. So how's it going?

Learning "Lady of the Island," I mean....

[astonamous]

11. Thanks for the heads up...

I don't watch TV much and miss a lot of these interviews unless someone tells me or I happen to catch an advert.

I am in my early 40's and even though I was very young, I remember the news about Vietnam every night.

Crosby and Nash are quite right about todays youth. MSM isn't giving the youth of today any credit for being aware of what is going on and they keep feeding us these fluff stories about Britney and Jessica.

What happened to all the reporters that were imbeded with the troops in Iraq? Where is the news from Iraq. It seems that even though we have lost so many young Americans recently, there really hasn't been any real news coming from Iraq.

The war isn't over!

[shadowknows69]

15. yeah i almost fell out of my chair

when gregory tried to say the coverage of iraq was more comprehensive. it was great that david and graham jumped on him about it.

[newyawker99]

17. Hi astonamous!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[shadowknows69]
