Reply #5: Think of this organization as a coop for catapulting propaganda

[Stinky The Clown]

They have 'staff members' speaking multiple times a day in the role of news source to media outlets. You hear these sound bites and full interviews with their staff telling us what to think and what to believe. They maintain a veneer of impartiality to allow them to appear non-partisan. But when the need is there to underpin the right, there they are. All in.

While they're owned by a single right wing organization, their purpose is news source for everyone. A fully controlled and right wing scripted replacement for Reuters, UPI, AP, etc.

MSNBC is run the same way with their veneer of a left wing bent. The night time lineup is not unlike bait to allow the station to retain its veneer of left wing bonafides. The editorial content, however, while allowing lots of red meat caterwauling, shuts down even their vaunted and beloved night time noise makers when the story is critical. People marvel at how Olbermann or Maddow "tell it like it is". And they do. When they are, in fact, allowed to tell it.

Lots of people here don't like ti that I see MSNBC as worse than Fox, but I do. We all know waht Fox is. Not all of us have accepted that MSNBC is its false mirror.
