Just reading this thread and most of the CD boards will show you that lefties are FAR less informed. Anyone defending MSNBC as being in reality is just plain freakin off their rocker.

According to you -- who thinks he's more informed but may not be at all.

I would think most of the new viewers for MSNBC than night were people looking to see those left-wing radicals blow up if Obama lost.

Propaganda shows like MSNBC are appealing to the dull witted, who tend to be more susceptible to propaganda. Intelligent people just laugh at such drivel. Keep in mind that the average IQ of the American public is 96; the results of the election and the IQ measurements confirm that the majority of Americans are idiots.
and your IQ is?

Yes, New Jersey is and always will be a Blue State.

Also....You obviously don't watch Fox enough to make those assertions.

Ever heard of Juan Williams? Alan Colmes? The multitudes of Democratic strategists that are routinely brought on?

You hang your hat on Dick Morris to make your point. That's funny!!!!

So in other words, peer reviewed scientific studies are wrong unless they confirm your personal biases. I'm guessing that there aren't too many of those out there.
Show me these "peer reviewed scientific studies"....i'm waiting.

Another example of the right-wing dismissing facts that happen to disagree with their beliefs. "It's only true if it confirms what you already think is fact."
It has nothing to do with "voting for Obama." It has everything to do with liberalism being 1) entrenched in New Jersey politics, and 2) being entrenched in New Jersey universities.

Find me an objective study (or multiple objective studies as the other poster claims exists) and i'll be glad to concede the point. So far, all that's been drudged up is a poll taken by a University that 99.9% of America has never heard of. That's not the evidence or data that one can or should bank on when making grand proclamations, and you know it.

You can stay in the right wing bubble if you want but, no, most people won't consider you to be a "critical thinking person" if you do so because it just won't lead to you being informed on the facts. To compare, yes, the main stream media still uses tried and true journalism standards which are factually based rather than just spin and all the evidence shows that people who watch fact based journalism sources are indeed better informed. Ignore those facts at your peril.
If you would of read my whole response you would of maybe realized I do not watch the MSM for my news, not FOX, not MSNBC none of the MSM. I am not a right wing or even left wing person because I am smart enough to realize that both parties are broken.

Now if you truly did think 4 yourself like your name claims you would not be defending any MSM and you would have agreed with me. But you are nothing but another sheep following the herd thinking you really understand what is going on around you. But there is hope for you because I also was a good little sheep at one time and watched the MSM and believed it.

For fair and balanced content, I'll stick with Fox. When I tire of the female screeching, I'll switch to Animal Planet. Most female pundits and hosts sound worse than animals in heat. Megyn Kelly and Greta are the worst of the bunch.

As a little aside, I wonder how Baracky 0bama pronounces the website that graphic is from. "NewsCorpse".

lol. What a dumb bunny that fool is.
In other words Maddow's intelligence baffles you and you don't get it....

Apparently, you're too dense to know that Sabato was making his little guesses on Fox multiple times daily.

Doh!

MadCow is about as intelligent as a salted slug. She's a prime example of how education doesn't make a person smart. She's dumber than dumb. Seriously dumb. Over the top dumb.
