In an article titled 'Welcome to the MSNBC, Er, Democratic Convention,' the New York Times reports that some of MSNBC's on-air personalities are being welcomed like celebrities by the Democratic National Convention's attendees.
'Network, party and partisan moment have collided, felicitously, in Charlotte,' the paper reports. 'MSNBC's on-air personalities are mobbed in the street, snarling pedestrian traffic.'
'Sure, the events here in Charlotte are a national celebration of the Democratic Party and its presidential nominee,' the report continues, 'but in many ways, it's the MSNBC Convention.'
Reporters Ashley Parker and Michael Barbaro document how despite torrential rains, five-hundred convention-goers got soaking wet in order to watch a taping of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews.
MSNBC's branded swag ' pins, coffee cups and tote bags ' are 'ubiquitous collectors' items for delegates,' the reporters said. The paper also notes that the networks' promotional posters and banners around and within the arena are so 'ostentatious' that even MSNBC personality Willie Geist reportedly compared them to 'North Korean propaganda.' The network's designated convention plaza is regularly packed with large crowds taking in the TV studio, café, lounge, and interactive center.
The paper also quotes Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski, who claimed she was accosted in a convention bathroom by a convention-goer who wanted her to pose for a picture. At a dinner with co-host Joe Scarborough, fans reportedly sent the hosts a bottle of expensive champagne.

Well they should be, I mean they have to get something in return for destroying any credibility as a news organization they might have had.
-
And I'm sure Fox was totally ignored at the RNC

NAILED IT! most perfect description of the marriage between MSNBC and the democrat party.
-
Don't talk about Fox,that makes you a hateful librul derp derp derp'.
-
There's just so many funny things you could say about this
-
MSNBC conducts the daily 'Two Minute Hate', obviously extended in length for all of the prime time hours. Looking forward to the big finale. Thursday night, right?
* * * * *
At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow,
rhythmic chant of 'B-B! '. B-B! '. B-B!''over and over again, very slowly, with a long pause between the first 'B' and the second'a heavy murmurous sound, somehow curiously savage, in the background of which one seemed to hear the stamps of naked feet and the throbbing of tom-toms. For perhaps as much as thirty seconds they kept it up. It was a refrain that was often heard in moments of overwhelming emotion. Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of
consciousness by means of rhythmic noise. -
All you had to do is watch. The far-far left keep insisting Fox News is hard right, when in reality they are center-right. MSDNC may as well be from North Korea.
-
Yes'I would expect a center right organization to refer to Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance that people pay into as 'government handouts.'
-
And the Fox Hosts weren't considered GODS amongst the folks at the RNC?
Jesus, what a stupid article.
-
Go ahead, we're waiting.
-
The article is illustrated with a video of far-right wingnut Joe 'Dead Intern' Scarborough posing for photos.
The conventiongoers are just friendly people.
At the RNC, conventiongoers would have tossed their own turds at MSNBC's hosts.
-
Well, they did toss peanuts at a black woman inferring she was an animal.
-
Fringe network lauded for getting out a fringe message. No surprise these loonies would be bowing at the alter of the MSDNC brand!
No surprise here''moving along.
