2. Jon Stewart does it all the time.
I don't know who started it. Where is Fox New's equivalent of (opposite party) Morning Joe?

3. I tried to watch Contessa Brewer the other day
first time and it wasn't easy. She sounded like Hannity when she was talking to Alan Grayson.

6. I saw that too
it was awful. She just kept repeating her talking points and not listening to him at all.

10. I'm a BIG Grayson fan, but I thought Contessa asked good questions. I was beat
up for stating my opinion that Grayson should have used another spot that wasn't so blatantly cut and pasted (plenty to choose from, I'm sure) so I think her questions were fair.

And even though I'm the only one apparently who feels that way, you can't judge a network on one person's interview. There's more to MSNBC than Contessa.

12. From what I have seen of
Contessa she usually is pretty fair. I guess she agrees with you on this one gately!
I liked the ad but if you didn't I won't be the one to beat up on ya, to each his own. :)

4. right wingers
The usual false equivalency argument. Surprisingly, a very few conservaDems also use it, particularly when Maddow or Olbermann rake them over the coals.

13. IIRC, MSNBC looped the Reverend Wright bullshit as much as FOX or any other outlet...
Of course, they packaged it differently, like "OMG, look at what the other news outlets are doing to Obama".

15. It is in the sense that it favors Democrats
While FOX favors republicans. FOX distorts, or doesn't bother reporting, that with which the GOP disagrees. FOX is the republican party.

16. FOXNEWS is the Republican party
MSNBC could be called a left slanting network at worst, but nothing even close to FOX news. You could add up all of the left leaning commentators on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and ABCNEWS and it's not half of the Republican party politicians who are actually on the payroll at FOX.

This tidbit of Propaganda that MSNBC is anywhere near as bad as FOX is just that, propaganda.
