"Lean Forward" ...I didn't really give it a lot of thought, but I never quite got it. It has been their Motto for over a year now and I just 'got it'. I think I did anyway....... MSNBC doesn't lean Right, Doesn't lean Left, It Leans Forward... Or am I even denser than I think?

(5,179 posts)5. I thought it meant forward as opposed to backward...
...like "forward progress."
But I guess it's pretty ambiguous.

(12,051 posts)6. I wonder if it is an echo off that book, Lean In, about female leadership in
business. They copied the 'lean' and substituted 'forward' to make up their slogan. Without that book, the 'lean' part wouldn't have any resonance with anyone. It's just the latest business catchphrase.
