Guest Amanda Carpenter of TownHall.com nodded her head, smiled, and said, "Right."

So, Howie complains about the lefty bias on MSNBC and brings in a writer from a website miles further from the center than MSNBC to confirm said bias...

Ridiculous as always, Howie.

I still say that this NB writer is one of the Freeper pic twins.

haha, republican circle jerk site.

Gl with that.

I love the "conservative" fascination with making people like them... by stamping their feet and throwing a tantrum until they get their way.

I wonder if NB noticed a certain network's bias for a certain 43rd President?

Has NewsBusters figured out no WMD related programs were found in Iraq?

Does NewsBusters still have a Mission Accomplished sign hanging in their editorial office?

So, CNN finally called it, about 2 years too late?

They're only concerned with "Exposing & Combating Liberal Media Bias"

They're perfectly OK with Conservative media bias.

Here's Newsbusters outraged Bush, the war, and the tax cuts are getting blamed for the deficit. Pretty funny.

Oh. I just saw the URL. Noel Sheppard. I've heard he's an idiot, and now it's confirmed.

News for and by the chromosomally-challenged.

/Both hawt.

Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps there is a hypocrisy that can physically sustain me. Thank you, NewsBusters!

Who cares. MSNBC sucks anyway.

MSNBC is the Obama station?
That has never happened before! There is no precidence for this!
Im going back to Fox. Fair and balanced!

yeah...I find myself wondering when that inaccurate waste of bandwidth go away...

/yes, I know, adblock will fix it, etc.

Wow, I just made an MSNBC reference in the Rush thread. Weird.

I thought that we were supposed to be supportive of the President as that is what the conservatives kept saying for the last eight years.

CNN had the chance to be the anti-Fox News, instead they chose to be Fox's ugly stepchild, the training ground for rightwing hacks like Glenn Beck.

I no longer watch after 4pm.

//stopped watching Olbermann - after five years - when his bias became so apparent he was caught with Obama's spooge dripping from his chin.

All the three 24-hour news networks pretty much suck when it comes to actually delivering news; unless you consider police chases and sensationalistic accidents news, which it is, but hardly important to understanding the world at large.

The best way to get a balanced look at the world and current events is to use a wide variety of sources- Jim Lehrer, BBC World News America, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, etc, etc.

I watch MSNBC for news based entertainment, not news. Although Rachel Maddows's show is terrific. MSNBC is biased toward the left with their pundit shows: Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow, etc. I don't watch their news broadcasting they have on during the day, so I don't know about that.

I pretty much agree with you, although I'd stick NPR in there as a good source of news as well.

I just realized that I haven't heard from Olbermann since the inauguration. Anyone know what he's up to these days without Bush to rail against?

Meh, the only way you will get 'unbiased' news is to go out, all the info you can, balance it yourself, and develop your own opinion. Until then, do what most of us around here probably do, watch a show, laugh at the funny parts, say WTF?! at the disturbing parts and try to unspin the parts that you know they are twisting on you.

Above all, watch more than one source. Can even be Faux if it's between the hours of 11am and 4pm; or if you are drunk. really, REALLY, drunk.

I think MSNBC finally figured out there was a niche other then right (Fox) or center-right (CNN). Good business if you ask me. It is about time.

Listening to all of the whining, I'm beginning to wonder whether some so-called independents believe they can convince people that the media is supposed to make good candidates look bad and bad candidates look good?

He's still doing his Bushed: 50 running scandals in the Bush Administration segment. He also still had O'RLY to rail against as well, which he does almost daily.

I watch him a few times a week, but I cook dinner while he's on so I miss a lot.

Rachel Maddow's show I give my full undivided attention, it's excellent.

Railing against the contued shiat Bush's policies are still causing.

Also, he did a special comment directed at Obama to not let the people in the previous administration off the hook for laws they may have broken. And if the Obama administration decides to let them off the hook,Olbermann will trash them in a future special comment - count on it.

Yeah, KO is quite biased - he doesn't pretend otherwise, unlike the biased people at FOX - but he is not the brainless Obamatron the right caricatures him as.

He was supposed to be a brainless Clintonian a while back, but when Hillary went full retard, KO didn't exactly stick by her side as an apologist...

Oh, I get it. Only conservatives are allowed to have shamelessly biased "news" outlets. Gotcha.

Chris "I Have a Thrill Running Up My Leg" Matthews. He probably gets bitter jealous whenever Obama talks with another person in the news media.

I hear so much about Fox news, MSNBC and CNN, but what about Headline News? How's that channel?

BBC America is the best news program to watch.

MSNBC isn't claiming to be "Fair and Balanced"

Anyone who is still looking for their "news" on TV is either too old or stupid to use the interwebs. You watch TV for commentary, and that's why I watch MSNBC. CNN is old and boring and FOX is unhinged, especially now that the douchebag trifecta of O'Reilly, Hannity, and Beck is complete.

Nobody knows. It is like classifying Bigfoot or Nessy.

tchamber: More sweet neocon tears.

While I'm pretty irritated by the constant (and convenient) bogeyman / built-in excuse known as the 'librul media,' they do have a point about MSNBC. I tried watching it on election night and the cues were just supremely obvious. Made me wonder why I bothered to venture off the internet in the first place.

Look, they have a Fox, "we" have teh MSNBC. However, FOX is clearly, I mean clearly more vicious and thuggish in their assassination of the truth. Each time I'm in earshot of a FOX broadcast and I hear "Fair and balanced," I have to control the urge to rip off my shirt, turn green, and get medieval. Even more annoying are the apologists and shills who'll go on until blue in the face about how FOX "is balanced, and that's why you libs think it's right-wing, 'cos you've been brainwashed."

I don't run into too many MSNBC watchers who claim that it's balanced. Like most people, they are comfortable getting their news from a source that happens to agree with them, rather than getting it from a more reputable print source online (that isn't KoS, etc). That's what sucks about network news; the old-liners, the real heroes of the industry are either rolling over in their graves or feebly attempting to address it to a crowd who no longer finds them relevant. 'Cos it's not relevant if it doesn't have theme music and graphics, damnit.

The thing is the MSNBC bias is relatively new. When people point to the bias of the punditry they have a point now. But they have been claiming it for many years (even when it was clearly untrue).

One of the more interesting side-by-side comparisons of MSNBC and Fox I recently stumbled upon was about the Coleman/Franken recount.

Olbermann had just done a bit about the crazy requests to count or disqualify votes from both Coleman and Franken- showing both sides as equally ridiculous. After that bit he was showing the Palin interview with the turkey slaughter which I didn't want to watch so I flipped up one channel to Fox.

It was Hannity doing a story about the Coleman/Franken recount debacle just covered by Olbermann, only Hannity was ONLY showing the ridiculous Franken requests and neglecting to mention the equally-ridiculous Coleman requests.

It was an interesting comparison.

So what if a source is liberal or conservative? A source can be partisan and be honest. It's the conservatives who have equated partisan with being dishonest as they can't sell what they're peddling without being dishonest (so they try to sell the notion that everyone is just like them to cover their misdeeds).

I just wish the "MSM" would allow me to think the way I want to think and not try to influence me. Thinking is so hard.

I dunno. Remember when the entire national press railed against Bush and his drumming up of the proactive war in Iraq? When they demanded more solid reasoning other than because-I-said-so-and-if-you're-against-this-you're-against-America? When they refused to publish pro-Bush columns that advocated the administration's policies even though the writers were paid by said administration? Remember when Ohio was deemed just as sexy a story as Florida, and the liberal media couldn't get it off the front page? Remember when the liberal media sai...

Yeah, about that...

Axias: haha, republican circle jerk site.

Gl with that.

Just as kos is the liberal bukkake site, along with 99% of the ones linked to on fark, seems your ok with the jizz as long as its your guys dumping the load.

CNN has to be the only network out there that could make FOX News look good by comparison. Don't know why, but their not-at-all convincing image of "unbiased badasses" kills me. They're the Fark equivalent of those douchebags who, instead of talking politics, are more content to make useless, cynical South Park references. Real unbiased networks like BBC and NPR don't feel the need to constantly advertise it (I'm looking at you, Campbell Brown). Forced centrism is just another piece of the once "left vs. right" tug of war.

Strange that the same people who complain that some news organizations are "pro-Obama" have no problem with Fox News being pro-Attila.

That is what I am saying. There was no left-wing then. Olbermann and Maddow were not on MSNBC and Matthews was either shushed or fellating the "virile" Bush.
