What’s this Infatuation with Crime?

MSNBC used to be my favorite news channel – when it was a news channel. I really don’t know what it is today. Here’s how they welcome the new year:

Yes, you can spend the entire day watching documentaries on life inside a prison. This isn’t just a random programming mistake: throughout the year, any time I tuned to MSNBC ( and I rarely watch TV), it was likely “Lockup”, the prison documentary, or “To Catch a Predator”, the series about a hidden-camera investigation of sexual predators who troll Internet chat rooms for children. It’s a serious matter worth our attention, but every **** day? C’mon, since when has MSNBC become Crime Channel?

But here’s the worst part: I’m sure MSNBC are watching their ratings … which can only mean one thing: these shows are popular. What’s America’s infatuation with crime?

Update: Clearly I am not the only one finding MSNBC’s programming (or lack of) weird:

CNN and FOX Noise are delivering a ton of politics today even though it’s a holiday because the Iowa caucus is in overdrive mode. I flipped on to see who MSNBC had working the network today and guess what I saw? Repeats of Lockup, Lockup, Lockup, Lockup…Holman—Alabama…

That’s ground breaking political coverage for you…

  1. Zoli,

    Perhaps “Lockup” is MSNBC’s way of supporting the Republican Party?

    Regardless of the show’s intensions or purpose, MSNBC has quite a bit of ground to make up if they expect to compete with names like FOX and CNN.

    On another note, a state like Alabama where it’s illegal to purchase a vibrator takes pride in high imprisonment rates. Afterall, this helps Alabama to maintain reduced unemployment rates (lol).
