    MSNBC is getting a new name as part of its split from NBC News

    As the cable news channel MSNBC splits up with NBC News, it is also dropping the NBC from its name. Later this year, the channel will become MS NOW, which stands for My Source for News, Opinion, and the World

    My first reaction to that change was that they should have made the new
    name "BS NOW". But that would have implied they were doing honest
    journalism until now so the new name really ought to be: STILL BS.

    As Microsoft has had nothing to do with it for two decades, I never
    understood why its brand is still used. It should therefore be
    NTDWMSNORNBC.

    It took me a minute but I'm ready to guess: Nothing To Do With Microsoft
    NOR NBC?
