  2. Hello

    Hello

    Pure bullshit. Watch how many dissenting points of view MSNBC puts on any of its night time programming, compared to Fox. The only balanced show MSNBC has is Morning Joe. Doesnt mean i dont watch some of their programs though, i constantly flip back and foreword to hear the talking points of both sides. On monday when Obama flip flopped on guantanamo, i didnt even see them mention it on any of their night time programming, but they sure were right in there skewering conservatives for it while Obama was on the campaign trail. Frankly i was amazed at how they routinely dismissed it, i intentionally tuned in because i was hoping to see some crying from the liberals, but it was to no avail.

  3. I used to work third shift. I would watch Olberman, Maddow, Matthews, and go over and watch Hannity, O'Reilly, and Beck( until he jumped the shark)

    I would catch all of em in distortions.

    News channels are supposed to shoot down the middle. That is the difference between news pieces and op-ed pieces. So, I would have to listen to the neo-libs and then the neo-cons to get near the truth of an issue.

    And I WILL be driving a Hybrid, and be proud of it too:D

  4. MSNBC does not waste time with the sham. Do you think Hannity and Combs was about providing dissenting points, or about Hannity beating up on a rag doll? Reminded me of WWE:D

    I'm going to have to stop you again. Both MSNBC and FOX offer daytime news and nighttime op ed. Everyone and their brother knows that primetime cable news channels cannot survive repeating what the nightly news at 6:30 eastern time reports. So the evening programming consists of op ed programs which score higher ratings. And again, I take offense to the word propaganda. Neither channel engages in propaganda. They report news during the day and op ed programs in the evening. Why is this so hard to understand. This has been the protocol for about 15 years now.

  9. Fox has much higher ratings. I think it is because they give, "news" as well as entertainment to it's sheep.

    MSNBC, just gives "news"
