So what do you think?

Not really.
MSNBC, like the rest of this country is moderate/centerist.

The politics is this country are now so screwed up that moderates are now as being liberals and most "conservatives" are really reactionaries.

5 o'clock - Chris Matthews. A tingle up his leg. Extols the Progressive movement.

6 o'clock - Ed Schulz. Flaming Progressive.

7 o'clock - Chris Matthews again. Still tingling.

8 o'clock - Keith Olbermann. A vile Progressive.

9 o,clock - Rachel Maddow. Flaming Progressive.


Five straight hours of liberal BS every day is more than a "lean".

MSNBC is in the tank for the far left.


It's a good thing that most Americans don't watch MSNBC, because I've given them a chance, and I found out that these commentators are just a bunch of idiots who are more concerned with destroying America than rebuilding it.

Fox has two news shows between 6 and 8 that are non biased.
LOL MSNBC Reflects most Moderate leaning Americans. Most of the Fox morning/afternoon shows are Reality TV with a grain of salt worth of actual news reporting. Mostly sensational hype that is with no facts to back up any of it other then Conservative opinions and I use the term Conservative loosely .. its mostly twisted facts with a small grain of truth.

Ah and by the way Fox is losing thier ratings on a constant downward swing lately. People are finally wakeing up to that disfunctional aka News Service.

Nice. Facts are facts. I think its obvious to anyone, even libs, that the majority of stories on other networks during the campaign were positive for Obama and negative for McCain.

Something else to consider:

Notice how the media and hollywood ALWAYS take on the likes of Beck and Rush, talking about and airing things they say (often out of context) yet they do no such thing to anyone on the Left. Sure, MSNBC's ratings are horrible because no one watches but still. Olbermann and Shultz say plenty of things that they could be targeted by the media for, but the media doesnt touch them. But they have some sick, twisted infatuation with Beck, Rush, and Palin; bashing them almost daily.

But go on libs, thinking that the majority of media is fair. Youre not only lying to us, but lying to yourselves if you really believe that.

Let me repeat your laughter....LOL LOL LOL but in the sense that you're nuts. How is MSNBC's primetime line up moderate? Have you seen Shultz? Bared to get through Olbermanns heavy/strange breathing for an hour? Moderate? LOL

The media slams who call it upon themselves. They doesn't slam joe scarborough or gerorge stephanopoulos as though right leaning, they still give fair and journalistic views on the issues. Same as olbermann and shultz on the other side.
People like beck and limbaugh give an insane far right view, made almost entirely of lies they see as the truth, twisting facts, and just outright propaganda.

Lol MSNBC Liberal----Thats a laffer. MSNBC is corporate media with a touch of democratic party spin. There is and is no such thing as liberal media as Liberal does not jive with predatory capitalism. The right wing mantra is easier to pass off as pro business and all American. True liberalism has the best interests of the collective in mind not the elites, this is easily slandered as being communism or sissified. Big business puts just enough out there on MSNBC to make "some" progressives and some ignorant knuckledragging low information Joe the plumbers think that it is liberal.

If it was liberal Mike Malloy would have his own show or atleast be a common guest.

If it was liberal Thom Hartmann would have his own show or would be a common guest.

If it was liberal Rhandi Rhodes would have her own show or atleast be a common guest.

Please name the Joe Scarborough , Pat Buchanan equivalent on Fox.

MSNBC is corporate media just like Fox. Ment to keep the lowest common denominators at each others throats with talking points and drivel.
