HBO’s Game Change: Watching MSNBC Makes McCain ‘More Miserable’
A very believable moment in Game Change, HBO’s derogatory movie portrayal of Sarah Palin in the 2008 campaign. In a scene at a hotel bar in Phoenix on election eve, McCain-Palin senior campaign strategist Steve Schmidt, played by Woody Harrelson, tells campaign manager Rick Davis and senior adviser/speechwriter Mark Salter the state of John McCain’s mood:
He’s the most depressed I’ve seen him in the entire campaign. I can’t get him to stop watching MSNBC, which only makes him more miserable.
Isn’t that a common malady from watching MSNBC? Video below:

The real Schmidt is now a regular primary and caucus night contributor to...MSNBC.

Cancelled HBO last year since there wasn't really anything I watched regularly and their new movies were for the most part horrendous. Eastbound and Down was the only show I really liked and just not worth it for like 8 episodes. As far as Time-Warner, I have no choice but to use them for cable and internet as I can't get satellite where I live.
If it wasn't for sports, I would just cancel cable and use Netflix or other streaming services, but still stuck with TWC for internet.
