ESPN’s “SportsCenter” announced its Saturday broadcast was sponsored by left-leaning cable news network MSNBC, with the ESPN announcer saying “because information and facts have never been more important.”

“‘SportsCenter,’ brought to you by MSNBC — because information and facts have never been more important,” the voiceover stated.

I thought they merged a long time ago. About the time the Bruce Jenner publicity stunt happened. You can't tell the difference between Sportscenter and any show on MSNBC, anyway.

Why would a Disney property enter a co-sponsoring agreement with a competing entity? (ABC/NBC)

Let's hope this is their equivalent of taking a big shite and falling right back in it!

ABC just canned one of its top producing shows. It's not always about the money, right or wrong.

Clay Travis pointed that out in his article. It's absolute madness.

MSNBC has/is about to have shows hosted by people like Joe Scarborough, George Will, Greta Van Susteren, and Megyn Kelly. It's really not all that left wing these days TBH.

MSNBC is owned by Comcast, a large cable TV system.

ESPN depends on cable TV for most of its revenue.

They are symbiotic not competitors.

Actually, Last Man Standing was canceled specifically b/c of money. 20th Century Fox produced the first 6 seasons. Starting with the 7th, ABC was contractually bound to pick up all production costs if it was to keep airing. They decided the demo watching the show (it skewed older which advertisers don't want) wasn't worth the price tag. If Fox was still paying for the show to be made, ABC would still be airing it.

Greta caters to the shills and RINOS. Follow her on twitter and it's starting to show that she is quickly moving to the dark side.
