How do you explain Hissy Matthews of the leg tingle if
MSNBC is so even handed? That histrionic moron Ed
Schultz? Is Maddow still there, she is marginally more
palatable. How many talking heads are on MSNBC’s
bench and what is their obvious bias? Nothing new to
be seen (or heard) here.

do you really think your option in this article matters? i don’t see your station reporting from both sides. are you whinning too!

OMG………… this man must be living under a rock if he thinks that his MSNBC is not BIASED. He evidently doesn’t even watch any of the news on his so called UNBIASED MSNBC. NBC and MSNBC are the most BIASED networks EVER…… All of the tingling up Matthews leg evidently wasn’t HEARD OR SEEN by this President of MSNBC. Just goes to show how CLOSED MINDED they are. I wouldn’t watch MSNBC if they paid me one million dollars. It is the most LEFTEST CABLE NETWORK on tv. Anything this administration does seems to pass with flying colors. We no longer as viewers have investigative journalists. But then if Bush was still in office, there would be THOUSANDS of investigative reporters trying to DELVE into anything to bring him down. But not with Obama. I just wonder why or why Obama stilll has not released his college transcripts. But if this was a Republican President,…. my God every Tom, Dick and Harry would have been hounding for them until they were released, but not with OBAMA. All of these leftist networks are in the TANK with the most inept President ever. GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY, because he is taking us DOWN FAST.

DOES THIS MAN HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY CUSTOMERS HE LOSES BY THE MINUTE? DOES HE REALIZE THAT IN PRO AMERICAN CIRCLES HIS NETWORK IS KNOWN AS MARINE KILLING NBC.. CAN HE TAKE GERALDO RIVERA BACK AND GIVE US ELIAN GONZALEZ? FROM THE GREATEST NETWORK TO SCHLOCK IN ONE GENERATION. HOW SAD. THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO THE PLEDGE. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE UNDER OBAMA. STAY OFF THE FAN TAIL OF AIR CRAFT CARRIERS. YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR BIGGEST FAN. IF YOU THINK YOUR RATINGS STINK NOW. WAIT TILL YOU CAN’T GET A USED TEA BAG. BESIDES SARAH PALIN DOES NOT LIKE YOU..

Best laugh I had in a long time. He should have his own comedy hour and it would do better than his news hours.

Only a rightwing nutcase would insist that Fox News was not biased.

Only a leftwing nutcase would insist that MSNBC was not biased.

And … arguing over “how biased” each is … is the equivalent of asking a pregnant woman “how pregnant” she is. Bias is bias … and it’s a distinction without a difference to insist one of these cable-TV infotainment channels is “more biased” than the other.

Frankly, in terms of promoting the extremely crappy, obstructionist and totally ineffective state of partisan politics today … both of these cable-TV outlets S-U-C-K !

If it wasn’t for Fox, I wouldn’t even own a TV. It is a nice feature to be able to block a certain cable channel, like MSNBC, from electronically trespassing in my home.

If Ted thinks both MSNBC and Fox sucks, what does he watch that he thinks is not biased; ABC, CBS, NPR, NY Times, LA Times, etc. wow such choices. I don’t hear have of the news on these other networks except for Fox. So Ted must have cotton in his ears.

Put down the bong dude.

When someone admits their bias and then reports the news – it’s the beginning of clarity for the news consumer. When someone denies having any bias, they have something to hide, are moronic, or most likely, think their listeners are blind, deaf and dumb (stupid).. Perhpas the worst is what Berkovici said, and I rephrase, “Yes we’re biased – but we’re not as biased as those guys!”

M.S.N.B.C. is the most hateful and disgraceful cable news network in history.M.S.N.B.C.works for Obama and the Democratic party as propaganda operatives to attack all Republicans and Conservative.

MSNBC not biases – that is hysterical.

Remind me again which network has within the last 6 months, fired a host (Olberdork), suspended a host (Ed Shultz) and just suspended a commentator (Halprin) all for outrageous disgusting behaviour that even MSNBC could not tolerate. And over the last few years – or ever – how many hosts/commentators has Fox had to fire for the same? Answer = NONE.

I would like one example of a news story that Fox has done that was not “based on fact” or faked. And I mean a documented example, not an “everyone knows Fox is biased” weasel statement. Just ONE example. If it can’t be proven, then all the lefties who deride Fox as “Faux News” need to quit talking out of their butts about a news source that doesn’t suck up to leftists or Obama.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much?..or something like that. Where are the Juan Williams’s, Kirstin Powers’s, Alan Colmes’s. Bob Bekel’s, on MSNBC……no where to be seen…and why? Because “news” unchallenged isn’t “news” it’s propaganda. Fox acknowledges its bias but certainly gives the opposition a seat at the table and we all benefit from the process. Why watch MSNBC?…there is no debate or presentation of “another view”. Free Markets work in specific ways and those with the appropriate product win economic reward. The Left does not learn from experience when it gets in the way of their agenda….Fox has been a welcome roadblock!

I noticed Don Irvine didn’t bother to post a link to Jeff Bercovici’s Forbes interview with MSNBC president Phil Griffin, so here it is: http://blogs.forbes.com/jeffbercovici/2011/07/14/msnbc-chief-on-incredible-fox-news-life-after-olbermann-more/

Now here’s an interesting little exercise you can do on a PC, though I’m not sure it works as well on an Apple: Go to Bercovici’s article. Then go “Edit” on the tool-bar and select “Find.” In the “Find” box, type in the word . Ding! Ding! The word isn’t there anywhere in the article.

As Irvine’s own excerpt indicates, Griffin never said MSNBC is “not as biased as Fox News.” He said “I don’t always think they [Fox] base [news] in fact,” which is certainly true (just as AIM and its chairman Don Irvine don’t always base news on “accuracy”).

Griffin also said, “I don’t think we’re nearly as BASED in ideology the way they {Fox] are,” and I can see how that could be debatable. But I would submit that MSNBC, while undeniably BIASED in that it advocates a certain point of view (and which Griffin didn’t deny), is less BASED in ideology than Fox for the simple reason that they don’t manufacture facts to support their ideology the way Fox News does.

An important distinction, which Irvine shamelessly blurs.

Just to correct one of a few typos in my last post, when you access the “FIND” box, type in the word “biased.”

So Fox is biased? I have a news flash for him. Everyone is biased. Everyone has a slant, a bias, an opinion. Fox, and most of the commentators on the right, are simply more honest about it. Let’s look at Mr. Limbaugh, for example. I call him ” Mr. Limbaugh ” because we’ve never met, and I don’t know the man. So, to call him by his first name would be rude. But, anyway, back to my point. If you listen to his program for more than five minutes, you’ll realize that his is an opinion show. He is a commentator, as well as an entertainer. I am getting a little weary of Mr. Hannity and Mr. Beck, since they tend to become shrill. But, they have their opinions as well.

Phil Griffin must be living in never never land. MSNBC is far more biased than Fox and even though they laugh at Fox calling themselves balanced, Fox maintains a balance that is very close to equal. When MSNBC brings on one conservative to banter with at least 4 liberals it is usually a milk toast conservative such as Michael Steel. Where is Ann Coulter or conservatives like her. I tivo Morning Joe & Fox & Friends every morning and there is such a difference it is unbelievable. Fox and Friends are funnier, more entertaining,, supply far more real news and much more balanced. I watch both shows to maintain a balance in my outlook. on life and to see what the weirdo’s are up to. I have never seen a co-host show less respect to another than Mika shows to Joe. Her rolling eyes are worse than a roller coaster. Joe must be paid a lot of money to put up with such degradation.

When I watch Fox & Friends the rest of my day is smiles. Steve & Brian should take their show on the road. I also agree with most of the US in knowing Bill O’reilly is number one in cable. He makes me mad very often, that’s how I know he is honest.

MSNBC, if you want to raise your ratings then act like Willie Geist does every morning. I can’t even tell you what side of the political spectrum he is on.

Al Sharpton………..You have got to be kidding…… He’s the dumbest,most biased person on TV. Whose brilliant idea was that?.

[...] As cable TV networks go, MSNBC is one of the more frequently accused of bias. Granted, they don’t have an entire comedy show out for their blood the same way that Fox News does, but they still attract criticism. To their credit, their executives admit that some of that criticism is even true. [...]
