From The NYT
Watch MSNBC, a new commercial for the cable channel intones, and “experience the power of change.”
Is the channel, a subsidiary of NBC Universal, introducing a new slogan that calls to mind President-elect Barack Obama’s campaign message? MSNBC says it is not. But the commercial, which began last week, stirred fresh complaints from the network’s critics.
Remarking about MSNBC’s perceived support of Mr. Obama, the libertarian radio host Neal Boortz asked on his blog Wednesday, “Could it get any more obvious?”
Left-leaning commentaries by the anchors Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow drew record numbers of viewers to MSNBC in the months leading up to the presidential election on Nov. 4.
The flag-waving “change” commercial looked to some like the start of a new branding campaign, following MSNBC’s year-old ads calling itself “The Place for Politics.”
Well perhaps it's time now for a new slogan for our friends at FOX. Some suggestions:
Fox News, Boy Are We Fucked Now.
Fox, News For White People
Fox. Fuck Obama.
Fox News, Fair and Balanced, Not So Much.
Fox News, Palin 2012.
