The people you named identify as being to the left of center, that is not the same as being a liberal, it isnt even the same as being a democrat.

Lets not forget Chuck Todd

And Michael Steele, former RNC chair

And Steve Schmidt


....

Yes MSNBC has Hardball, the Al Sharpton Show and Rachel Maddow...but for a supposed "hard left liberal" channel it has way too many Republicans onboard.

By comparison FoxNews has a paltry two "liberals" who are hardly featured and usually almost always drowned out...and Alan Colmes is always abused and drowned out in whatever show he's on.
I don't think Chuck Todd or David Gregory are prominent Republicans. Have they ever said so?

Genius, I tell you.
All news sources cherry pick, make up or massage to fit their agenda. NBC News has been caught a couple of times with suspicious editing, ABC as well. The difference is they present themselves as neutral when they're not.

The main reason the far-left hates Fox though? Because they're one of the only sources to hold this administration accountable for anything.
All fox does is lie and makes up trash to push their radical agenda. It's not news, it's propaganda.

I could have saved Pew some money, MSNBC is the worst one. I don't watch FOX or CNN either, they all suck. But yep, MSNBC takes the cake.

This anti-liberal bashing is an attempt by big business conservatives to divide and conquer the population, and keep their businesses free from union and governmental regulations that will strip away their desires of creating a plutocracy in America.

Liberal means open minded, for the people, not prejudiced. Conservative means regressive.

For those of you who have been convinced that liberalism is giving white people's hard earned money to the non whites, and shunning old fashioned values, liberalism is what everyone should strive to be part of, Accepting EVERYONE, no matter their race, creed, or religion, working to END poverty stop arresting so many people, get rid of the drug wars,stop legislating morality, and making sure we have a live and let live country.
,
MSNBC anchors air the truth, which can all be fact checked. Fox News airs lies designed to stir up ignorant,latently prejudiced,old white people. Rachel Maddow will often times tell you where she gets her topics. Conservatism is also defined as an aristocracy controlling a people.

There are certain things that MSNBC anchors aren't allowed to air because the owners of the network want Republican guests to come on their shows. That bothers me.

Republicans want to undo the New Deal, dismantle unions, pay people as little as possible, privatize schools making education a for profit industry, eliminate Civil Rights laws,eliminate the Post Office so they can privatize mail delivery and make the money themselves, and push old fashioned religion so that the bible thumpers will vote for them, while the Republican party steals all the government money and converts the government into private business entities that the top1% owns.

Liberal is good.When MSNBC tells you that Republicans want to block voting rights, or plays clips showing Republican politicans making racially tinged statements, or lying about not wanting to cut Social Security or Medicare, that is bad?

Liberal is good, liberals don't follow leaders if we feel the leader is lying to us. We fact check everything. Going backwards to the good old days that weren't all that good for many people, especially people of color, is bad. Exposing the true colors of the Republican party doesn't involve liberalism at all. It just involves airing the truth, and the mainstream networks don't want to touch stories that will expose the fraud of the Republican party to the public.
