Today's balanced MSNBC lineup:
23 leftist hack journo-lists and Dem partisans, and 2 identifiable non-liberals....
Actually, Andrea Mitchell is so deep in the tank she should be counted as 5 "leftist journolist hacks"...
You're welcome to leave.....you'll be much happier elsewhere, so much angst and anger is not good for the soul.
Yeah, go to Dumb Fux news where it is "fair and balanced".
with all of the erroneous and selective editing that MSNBC hads been involved in, how can they, and their FR liberals,say MSNBC has credibilty?
Example, the recent Paul Ryan discussion and video presented on MSNBC.
To the stone head, correct avatar for a liberal sheepy, FOX is more fair and balanced than MSNBC. And st and you believe the liberal talking heads: Mr. Ed, Rachel and the wonderful fellow with the Obama tingly leg are completely honest and un-bias?
If you have a problem with that go over to FOX. I am sure you will get your daily dose of whatever you seek over there. FOX is no more fair and balanced than MSNBC is. Each is slanted in one way or the other. That may be good as if one listens to both we get a picture somewhere up the middle which is probably closer to reality than either extreme.
And how many people working at FOX were actually on the Romney campaign payroll?? The same campaign that kept saying that they weren't going to let fact checkers dictate their campaign!! Yeah, FOX is much more fair and balanced. Also if you remember back in 2003 there was a lawsuit over a fired employee from FOX who refused to slant the news and FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves.
mayamomma
Apparently you have the answers to your question. Why don't you provide your sources for me.
If that statement is true, and I trust you will also provide your source, then MSNBC must have taken this to heart.

For some reason every time I post a link it doesn't show up so you will have to google the lawsuit against FOX on your own. It isn't like there is a lack of places to find it.
maya: If you are a new poster, like myself, you will have to copy and paste the link. If someone wants to go there, they have to cope and paste that link into their address bar.
Thanks Exito, I have been reading for years, but I am a pretty new poster. I did try to copy and paste the links but they still wouldn't show up. All of it is worth a google though...good stuff. And rotor, the difference between MSNBC and FOX is that FOX actually went to court to have the right to lie and they also supported the candidate in the last election who didn't want fact checkers to dictate his campaign. MSNBC may slant the news to the left but FOX outright lies.
Funny how obama is never blamed for his own ideas and policies ??? Just who HAS been prez for the last 4 years ?
You had an election day to fix it. You failed. Get used to it.
MSNBC got it wrong again! Obama has not passed a budget for four years and could not come up with cuts to cut spending so he (obama) came up with sequestering as his press secretary even stated on camera at a press meeting. MSNBC...who are you in bed with? obama is the one who cannot come to the table and the majority of Americans just are ignorant to it.
And Harry Reid and the Dem Senate can't pass a budget, refuse to discuss House proposals, and continually blame Republicans.
Now correct me if I am wrong their stone-head avatar from Easter Island, wasn't the sequester an Obama plan, voted on and now his plan?
Obama nor any other President passes a budget. All they do is sign them. If the budget gets to them and it is unacceptable they send it back to Congress for changes. The Senate isn't going to discuss an extremely right wing oriented budget or even send such a thing on to the President so until the House can send a decent budget to the Senate (money bills originate in the House per the Constitution, you know, the document that Dick Cheney and others said was a goddamn piece of paper) we will continue to see a continuation of what we have had for the last few years. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results.
I'm under the impression Obama is not in favor of following the Constitution. Point in fact, the President submits a budget request annually; he hasn't yet. And even when he and the Dems controlled the House and Senate, his proposal wasn't passed by his own party.
So the House submits a budget and Reid tables it without discussion nor vote. And you call the Reublicans quilty of being the party of "NO"? They have the power to vote on the plan or submit their plan. Never happened, right.
No, I didn't read where Cheney called the Constitution a worthless piece of paper. Perhaps you would like to share this information. Care to cite the source?
As for your last statement, you libs seem to follow this plan. If you continue to tax and spend, everything will be fine. NOT!
I think that conservatives post on liberal websites simply because ist the easiest way to feel that you're smart. Watching people use phrases such as "faux" news and fawn over Obama who would be an embarrassment to everyone if he were white makes it easy to feel like a genius.
So does First Read agree with liberal POLITICO's view that the national media is intimidated by the Obama Administration?
The proof is in the pudding! First Read plays ball with the government, doesnt work for we the people.
Liberal- leaning Politico had a much-commented upon recent article , "Obama, the Puppet Master" which admitted the obvious: Obama receives unbelieveably favorable media coverage.
Why? Politico claimed it wasnt bias (!), but that the White House were media masters, and the poor suckup media just couldnt keep up. Oh, and also, Politico admitted the White House press were afraid if they don't toe the line, they dont get the invitations and the exclusive interviews...ask Fox News about that, eh?
So , days later the poodle media chose a totally meaningless issue to bark about: Obama's golfing with Tiger Woods...
In response, Obama held an off the record meeting with reporters from major print and television outlets, days after the White House Correspondents Association complained publicly about their lack of access to the president during a golf outing in Palm Beach, Fla., and one day after Obama met with suckup starry-eyed local television reporters, who worship at his feet.
The punchline: POLITICO was not invited to the meeting, though it has been invited to similar off-the-record meetings in the past.
Don't expect POLITICO to stray from the liberal reservation any more!
