MSNBC Dumps NBC, Becomes MS NOW — Plot Twist!

MSNBC is having a midlife crisis and chopping off 'NBC' from its name to become 'MS NOW'—because 'My Source News Opinion World' just has a nicer ring, apparently. Rachel Maddow cheerfully admits they're "competing with NBC now," while Joe Scarborough praises the "sporty" new logo that looks, according to insiders, suspiciously conservative without the peacock rainbow. Staffers are buzzing with confusion, bemusement, and vague indifference, proving that rebranding a legacy network is like trying to herd cats on a slippery slope. Meanwhile, ex-employee sass: 'MS outlasts NBC even though Microsoft bailed in 2005.' Comedy gold from New York.
