I may hold my final comments until I've been able to digest it further, but it looks like MSNBC just took a fall off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Please don't tell me this is a permanent design change. Perhaps it's a joke.
Of course you expect this seemingly new layout to break in Safari (it does), but even in IE it's downright, freaking scary. And if you're not careful, the source code will haunt you in your dreams tonight like that green-chili cheeseburger from Sonic you ate a while back.
Yikes. Well, I didn't really care for the MSNBC editorial before. Now I can't even find it. This is a joke, right?
Sam says
Yeesh...hehe. Me thinks something is definitely broken over there.
I simply can't read sites like that...way too much information crammed into every little nook and cranny.
Zach says
Yep, it's horrible that they have removed everything if you are watching it from Opera. It is way too crammed in IE. Whatever, I never use MSN pages for anything anyways.
Joshwa says
Yeah, it gets really nasty in Opera. Notice the way the set of three images below the main news headline get shuffled around?

I turned to MSNBC daily for years *because* of the design. I swore it off in the past year because it was becoming overrun with ads and occassional popups. This is truly the last straw.

MSNBC has definitely become a joke. The new design is horrible, and their total and utter reliance on cramming an advertisement into every corner is laughable.
I'm a windows user, and the flyout menus (assuming they're still part of the design there) don't work for me. That makes the site pretty much unusable.
News sites used to be generally terrible, with MSNBC the best of a bad lot. However, there are any number of nicely designed news sites out there, very often a national paper. I guess experience will out, the network news sites are uniformly bad, while there are at least a few beacons of good taste and design in the newspaper world.
While we're on the subject of MSN (kinda) the top and right-hand bars for MSN that now appear on all Microsoft-owned sites are awful and seem to be applied regardless of consequence.
