Phil Griffin, MSNBC President: We Want To Be Like Fox News

MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune's Phil Rosenthal that he hopes MSNBC can grow to be more like Fox News, but that he won't be putting any "hard-right shows" on his network.
Griffin praised Fox News chief Roger Ailes for the television phenomenon he's created.
"He's changed media," Griffin said of Ailes. "Everybody does news differently because Roger's changed the world. Roger early on figured it out and was brilliant."
To Griffin, developing a successful cable news network means creating a place for "like-minded" viewers to come for the network's hosts' takes on the news.
"We're talking about the actions and passions of today, which tend to be political," he said.
"I don't think we have quite the passionate support that Fox does," he said. "Some shows do, but as a network we don't. Our prime time is getting there. But that's what we want to get."
But despite the desire to emulate Fox, Griffin insists he would not put on a hardcore conservative news show.

Blacken, 240, Straw, Mal, and Benny are going to be deeply dissapointed with this.

You mean it's actually a real news network? Somebody better tell the president.
-
Obama is going to need a hug.
-
Bump for 240 and Blacken, the two remaining viewers of MSNBC.

this really reminds me of an NFL team that went 2-14 bragging because their cheerleaders are way hotter than those of the Super Bowl champs.
Dems own the White house and both arms of congress, and they're probably going to shove 3 new lib supreme court apointees down our throats before the end of Obama's first term. He passed the Stim. He passed healthcare.
FOX, the cheerleading voice of the repubs, has more viewers than MSN, the cheerleading arms of the libs. Does that greater number of viewers equate to more voters, or swaying opinion on issues? nope. Libs own everything and are passing whatever they want.
Enjoy your hot cheerleaders and rant about how well you'll do in the draft (2010 midterms). in the meantime, the Dem team is hoisting the lombardi trophy.

Well,lets see,we had 8 years of Bush,we had 6 years of republican rule.Things swung back the other way as it always does.Now,lets see how the dems do in Nov.The brilliant God like Obama, the answewr to everything, and your idol,should have zero trouble hanging on to democrat controll with majorities in both houses.It should be no problem,because they run everything and Obama is such a great leader and has accomplished so many great things for the American people.So,I guess we will just wait and see how much THE AMERICAN people like being governed by democrats.Im sure they will respond with more democrats to thank them for the stimulus and health care.

good point BILLY.
However, Obama is STILL at 47% by Gallup.
So for all the noise FOX makes, with it's awesome viewship (5 million peak weekly viewers, or something like that?
Yes, they get a full 1.6% of the population to tune in every night. that rocks. And Obama, despite his kenyan liberal socialist BS, is still at 47% approval.
-
Precisely the same amount of people who pay no taxes.

"Precisely the same amount of people who pay no taxes. "
All obama has to do it move that number up to 51% and his ass is guaranteed a win.
What's Palin gonna say? "Vote for me so I can tax your ass!"

So perhaps, just perhaps...Fox isn't as anti-Obama as you like to make them out to be?

That's why I feel we r screwed for good. The freeloaders will never vote for anyone but a person who promises more free shit.

I dunno... you cite liberal white guilt all the time, which is valid.
however, I was listening to Mark levin a few weeks back - I posted about this - a caller who made 50k was complaining that his kids are forced to take free lunch, that he paid NO TAXES and actually got $2k per kid.
he called to complain that obama sucks, etc. he didn't talk about giving the $ back. he took the check and bitched about it. Said he hopes the repubs get in so he can pay his fair share again, etc.
It just came off as republican tax exemption guilt.
