That's the ticket, tear down the largest audience and stand upon the lack of appeal for MSNBC as though there were some quality reasons to feel a part of an exclusive club. Once the masses have firmly associated Mr. Obama with what have become the increasingly unappealing views of MSNBC, he'll have quite a mountain to climb, in order to present his agenda. People have wised up to the fact that there were enough Dems. to pass anything Obama cared to introduce and that all the bribery went to people from his own party to pass healthcare, the blame game has been exposed for what it was, a fraud.

This bit of news really gave a great start to the day.
I'm on the left and I don't consider Schultz, Maddow or Olberman to be my "hero".

How exactly was I endorsing MSNBC? I watch it about as much as Fox - next to never. You don't need to be an MSNBC viewer to realize Fox viewers are nothing but a flock of sheep.

Is it any wonder why CNN just canned its President Johnathan Klein and NBC canned CEO Jeffery Zucker. You can only support stupitity so long. Do you hear that Obama, the train of inevitability is coming at you. Two of your media puppets got axed. YOUR NEXT!!!

Ed Shultz was a former CONSERVATIVE talk show host. He switched sides and has gone down the toilet since. You can't be credible if you don't BELIEVE what you are spewing.

Ed Schultz is a ****ing jerk. You can be funny and make fun of other people's positions and people on both sides do it. But he is a ****ing jerk. He's vicious.

I probably watch MSNBC more than any conservattive on the planet, even though it is way biased. Know your opponents I guess. I actually enjoy watching Hardball even though I disagree with a lot of whta he says. But Shultz, what a ****ing jerk. He is the only person that I actually get angry watching.

Well, that 12% is definitely the hard-core, fringe Left, no doubt about it.

I don't see how leftists can rail against Fox while supporting MSNBC. Look at the line up starting at 5 pm Eastern.

5 Hardball (leans left, features some conservatives) vs. Beck (far right, features very little guests at all.)

6 Ed Schulz (far left, very few conservative guests which get berated) vs. Brett Beir (hard news, editorial report at end featuring conservatives and liberal.

7 Replay of Hardball see above vs. Fox Report (more hard news with maybe a slight rightwing bias)

8 Olbermann (far left, never once seen a conservative guest) vs O'Reilley (moderate right, regulars include Alan Colmes, even has Juan Williams fill in while gone)

9 Maddow (left, pretty balanced guests who get treated failry) vs. Hannity (far right, intellectually dishonest schmo, but does feature many liberal guests which get treated fairly) This slot is the most comparable

10 soon to be Lawrence O'Donnell, for now it is Olbermann repeat (O'Donnell is an admittted socialist, remains to be seen how fair he is) vs Greta (leans right, balanced guests, even Chris Mathews said she is legimate, which is big for an MSNBC guy)

In the entire primetime MSNBC line-up there is not one actual news show, just opinion pieces. Fox has two news shows. The hosts featured on MSNBC tend to lean further left than the Fox guys that lean right, (Olbermann is far-left, wheras O'Reilley would be considered a moderate Republican and probably lose a primary) with the exception of Beck and Hannity. Even Beck isn't an apologist for the Republicans in the way that the MSNBC guys are for the Democrats. Hannity is just a boob in my opinion but does have many liberals on the show that he treats with respect.

I won't deny Fox leans right, but MSNBC is clearly just as biased if not more-so in the other direction.
