Nope, MSNBC primarily focuses on current events and politics. It's the liberal version of Fox News.

Pretty much. Some people attack NPR, but it is rather balanced*, especially compared to MSNBC ans Fox. * The actual definition, not whatever fox uses.

No. That's CNBC. Or Bloomberg.

So have any of you seems the movie and if so, how is it?
Though I will admit, as someone that works at the corporate level of a large bank, the evil bank narrative has run it's course and is really tiresome at this point In time. :-/

Just as tiring as the evil government narrative?
Anyway, yeah it's a really good movie, I recommend seeing it, it's interesting to see the references to all of Lego's history in the film.

"The Imperium is nothing if not willing to go to any lengths necessary. So the Trekkies are zipping around at warp speed taking small chucks out of an nigh-on infinite amount of ships, with the Imperium being unable to strike back. feth it, says central command, and detonates every vortex warhead in the fleet, plunging the entire sector into the Warp. Enjoy tentacle-rape, Kirk, we know Sulu will." -Terminus

It's a great film, "Lord Business" is not so much evil bank narrative as you find out during the film. If you look at Bricksburgh, where he is "President" he is a successful businessman that has created the Octan corporation, he's constantly building new sections of the city (job creator) and has.invented a great number of things. The only reason why he's the villain is revealed during the film.
