Ew. I would never go to MSNBC for any news. It is just as skewed as Fox. Grant you, CNN is one of my sources of info, but you do have to take it with a grain of salt. I also use BBC and Der Spiegel (internet version in English) to get a more well-rounded view/reporting. If you want to get a leftist view, then I would go to MSNBC - but I could not make that my only source (or even the main one). If you are a leftist, then watching it doesn't so much inform you as it does confirm what you already believe. Allowing your views to be challenged is a good thing. I recommend trying BBC and Der Spiegel in English ( About.com: http://www.spiegel.de/international/ )

I don't know what kind of CNN you've been watching, but the CNN I've been watching has been moving itself to the center and I can say it's center-left in it's overall bias, just like the BBC.

BS. They never call out the lies and racism. They have rightwing pukes come on there and attack Obama unchallenged. Fox never has anything but rightwing hacks on their shows but yet cnn brings on these pukes.

What are you talking about? Fox brings on liberals all the time. I doubt any liberal, except a few maybe, would even share your view on CNN. What lies, and most importantly, what racism? I don't know why you seem to think racism seems to be around every corner. What, you want CNN to devote more than half its news coverage to "exposing racism" or something?

That link is useless. CNN has been dropping steadily in ratings for years now, so what is your point?

[MOD CUT/off topic]

It is true, CNN is pushing an agenda now as a result I turn them off first, I would never waste my time on Faux entertainment as I'd rather have news. RT is better than most.

The only reason MSNBC's ratings aren't falling, is because they are already at rock bottom.

Your switch to MSNBC increased their viewership by 20%.
