How does MSNBC/NBC gather the news?

[itsrobert]

Apparently they just surf the internet.

1. Fax machine with secure line from the RNC. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

2. I am in firm belief that DouchebagReport.com

Is the source of all news stories for the major networks.

The local affiliates do all of the hard work, then the major networks scoop it up...

3. The anchor has 6 phones on his desk and a bunch of teletype machines clacking away. It's still '51

at NBC - still firing Left of Center employees.

4. I thought it was kind with a

Rake. It sure seems like it.

5. By asking Bush appointees what they think

Senor
Condi's press person
Ari Fleischer

apparently in the vacuum, all the Bushies crawl out from under the sink

[SOS]

6. "We report what Burke decides"

New tag line?

[Cleita]

7. I think that's what they do, the Internet, which isn't the worst

place to get your news if you have staff that can discriminate between facts and trash and who try to get as many divergent sources as they can on a story.

8. Better than CNN - they just read random people's Tweets on air n/t

9. Thanks to Rick Sanchez...

who's under the stupid impression that he's a credible journalist, still.

10. I crave another taser story involving Rick

This time at the anchor desk. You can do it, Rick!

11. Would love to see that exclusive story repeated...

again and again and again. Couldn't get enough of it the first time around, lol!
