I just read that MSNBC is ending the Altercation Blog. I am surprised it lasted this long. Here is the announcement on today's Altercation:
First, the bad news: I'm fired. MSNBC.com has decided to end its support of "Altercation," and indeed, all of its association with yours truly as of this Friday.
Ok, now, the good news: My friends at Media Matters for America have decided that the cause of continuing "Altercation" in its current, politically independent form to be worthy of their support. So we're not dying, just moving. Our new URL will be www.MediaMatters.org/Altercation and I will also become a MM Senior Fellow.
I love this Blog and read it almost everyday. There are about 5 blogs listed on the bottom of the MSNBC.com home page and this is the only one that is not right-wing BS.
For those of you who have never read it before you should check it out at its new site on Media Matters. Dr. Eric Alterman is highly respected and has written several books on the media and its right-wing bias.
Another win for the Right-Wing Propoganda Media Machine!
Sorry the diary is short. What are your impressions of Altercation and the MSNBC.com decision?
