Well MSNBC send a reporter to my house. I believe in the 2nd amendment so "don't be a intruder" because I have the right to protect myself.
Wait a second, this is absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah MSNBC is very liberal, but who cares? They're not on public airwaves. It's their FIRST amendment right. They pander to their audience, and there is obviously a demand in this country for a liberal cable news network otherwise there wouldn't be one.

So they do what they do, they do it well, and they have their followers (I'm one of them.) What exactly is wrong with that? Is that not a prime example of capitalism? Basically making a product that people obviously want.

Is that not their FIRST amendment right? I don't think they're forcing anyone to watch.

From that last image it seems like MSNBC has overall positive views on both democratic and republican issues and Fox News has Overall negative views on democrats and positive views on republicans showing fox new's bias but not so much MSNBC's. Try again.

I am sorry to disagree with you, but i find each News Outlet, is bias to some level of degree, they each have positive, and negatives going on for them. I find not one better then the next, except that MSNBC is so bias, and i find i don't really like them at all. They are each in their own ways, bias to some degree on current issues, but hey it is the news. I find Fox as being more fair and balanced and sometimes people don't like the truth, no matter where the truth comes from..

I'm not saying one is bias and one isn't, what I'm saying is that if we go solely off of that picture (fact) provided, it shows fox news is clearly MORE bias than msnbc

So what do you think?

Thanks!

You try again. Overall, Fox News is more balanced on each side.
The range in percent is from 18.7% to 47.2% for MSNBC and 21.2% to 36.8% for Fox News.

Yes, they are extremely far left. And NASTY about it!
But really they don't matter or really have much influence because no one actually watches them anymore. They have become the joke of cabel news, and Keith Olbermann is the joker!

MSNBC is bad but still not as bad as Beck and Faux News.
