RCP makes a good point. I don't recall any other media outlet having to make so many apologies and retractions. With all of their clout, talent, and intellectual firepower, is this the best that progressivism can do?
The last time I watched MSLSD was a little over a year ago, on the day of the Boston Marathon. Chris Matthews served as anchor. He had a series of 'security expert' types on, and kept pestering one after another with the suggestion that the bombing was done by a conservative group. One after another said nah.
There was a fire at the JFK library in Boston that turned out to be accidental and unrelated to the bombing. Matthews suggested that the same right wingers who did the bombing might have targeted the library because JFK was a Democrat.
I actually used to enjoy Chris Matthews years ago, but by the time he had his "shiver down the leg" moment he had already lost all credibility with me. And as far as MSNBC, anyone who can employ Al Sharpton as a commentator...well that says it all, doesn't it?
Has foxnews ever apologized or made a retraction? They are just as partisan and as ignorant.
Neither Fox nor MSNBC are credible news organizations. Both are OP-ED type broadcast operations. Opinions and little actual news/facts mixed-in. Kudos to MSNBC if it's been apologizing, because Fox just continues to promote anti-American behavior pandering to extremists and seems so very proud to do so. Well, should we expect anything different ... considering the illegal activities the owner of that network has regularly engaged in in the UK?
This topic has been discussed here ad nauseum, and many links posted to show they are not the same. But, just keep peddling the Media Matters talking points...

lol. To use MSNBC and the words talent and intellectual firepower in the same sentence is the best laugh I've had for a long time.

The difference is that FOX will just continue lying to their viewers. No news organization is going to be 100% accurate. The difference is what they do when they've been caught distorting the truth. MSNBC will own up to it. FOX will pretend like it didn't happen or just continue the narrative.
