Watching MSNBC is the cable news equivalent of lifting up a rock and seeing what's crawling around underneath it.

The sad thing is the pride of the stupid people who watch that garbage. Pride in being clueless.
Consider those statements in light of the fact that it's the liberal mainstream media watchers who gave us Obama.

It's a sure thing that Fox viewers didn't do that!

It's one hard-hitting expose after another.
Ha!

Thats about as bright as putting hot water on a frozen windshield.

FOX News is biased, but so are the other networks. The only difference is that aside from marketing towards conservative viewers, FOX actually reports on many different events where as CNN, NBC etc... All report the same thing from the same angel, it makes no sense for their to be so many liberal networks.

And something about FOX I noticed is that they do have some liberal guests on there who they do seem to treat fairly as they keep coming back. Never happens on the other networks. The worst is MSNBC, the things that network does is down right asinine.

Right, Fox New watchers gave us George "Huh?" Bush, Sarah "I Quit!" Palin and Michele "Totu causes retardation!" Bachmann.

The "liberal" media watchers gave us the man who fixed the economic, killed Bin Laden, and passed affordable healthcare.

Yup, Fox News wins hands down there.

Wouldn't you quit, too, if frivolous lawsuits were costing you tens of thousands of dollars?

And I'll take George "Huh?" Bush over Barrack "If you like your insurance/doctor, you can keep it" Obama any day! Not to mention Nancy "We have to pass it to see what's in it" Pelosi.

I didn't realize that Obama killed Bin Laden (due to interrogation methods Obama opposed!). How did Obama "kill" Bin Laden? A knife? A sword? A gun?

I think this statement pretty much highlights the problem - it's one thing to say, "Yeah, Fox News leans heavily to the right and that's the way I like it!"

It's quite different to say that Fox presents all sides of the story... What all sides? The extreme right, the radical right, and the Tea-Party right?

When I'm watching MSNBC, I'm quite aware of the angle they're coming from. That's why I don't watch MSNBC, and most liberals don't watch MSNBC.

Just as when I'm watching Superman, Man of Steel, I am quite aware that I'm watching a fictional story that will never ever happen in real life. But not to the Fox News watchers, they are the kind of folks who'd treat Superman as a documentary and are probably at this moment building their bunkers to prepare for an invasion by General Zod.

Really? I thought Joe Scarborough who has a show on MSNBC is a conservative? I certainly see conservative guests on his show treated fairly, as well. Chris Matthews has Michael Steele and many republican strategists on his show quite often. Maybe conservative Fox News watchers pretty much see what they want to see. You will probably not see Palin on any of these shows as she cannot put a sentence together without a script (and sometimes not even with one).

Fox News is ALL OVER the Christie Bridge story.....and he's a republican!

They are also doing in depth journalism on the chemical spill in WV......which is a chemical used in the coal mining industry.

Had the spill been of some chemical used in making solar panels, the msm would not even give it a mention.

ALL other news channels are biased to the point of being laughingstocks.
Unlike places like NBC, Fox News Network has a lot of liberals and moderate, contributors, reporters and talking heads all mixed in, and they do a great job covering all the news.

The US is a center right country BTW, not a full left-leaning liberal country, like MSNBC thinks it is.
