As an employee of Comcast which owns MSNBC I am extremely angry with my company. And I plan to retire early just because I have no desire to help them in any way.
Comcast is a very liberal company. And I don't want to promote them or give them a dollar. MSNBC is far worse than Fox. But both are limiting their news to just that which incites the base. When people say that politics have become too polarized. Its the media doing it.
Barbara Bush said it best. I don't want Jeb to run. Not because he wouldn't make a good president. But good people should not have to go through this.
One more thought. While MSNBC redefines mean. Fox and MSNBC both limit what you see to only those issues they wish to report. Everyone who watches Fox should make sure they are also getting their news from other sources. Local news, foreign news and bloggers are helpful in rounding out a full story.
There is no comparison between the two. MSNBC is nothing but a moonbat broadcast facility, sourcing nothing but the DNC and WH talking points. They include left-leaning comments in their "reporting" and only cover stories that make their side look good.
FOX has no similar characteristics. They do report the omitted stories and have conservative and liberal commentators and guests. Their motto is "Fair and Balanced" but I wish it was "Nothing but the Truth" but they do have neutral reporting in their coverage.
The proof is, when have you ever seen MSNBC feature a conservative news analyst or give a fair interview to a conservative? If there is such an example it is an anomaly or accident.
I only wish FNC was a conservative news outlet...that in itself would only begin to provide fairness and balance to all the other news "media" globally. Where else can you turn to get good reporting and conservative opinion?
The answer? Talk radio.
Fox and MSNBC both limit what you see to only those issues they wish to report.
That is true, however, if only FNC would ignore the sensationalist crap (distraction narratives). They pretty much cover all the stories the RATagandists do, plus the additional embarrassing issues the left-prestitutes ignore.
Everyone who watches Fox should make sure they are also getting their news from other sources. Local news, foreign news and bloggers are helpful in rounding out a full story.
The local news is pretty much worthless as they report a smidgen of local news and then simply repeat the crap-du-jour (the NYT talking points) and then spend 15 minutes on some worthless sports. The only thing good about local is the weather...although the TWC does just fine.
Foreign news sources are pretty good as they seem to have no problem spilling the beans on the RATs. Blogs? Maybe, but they are largely opinion. I think you can get quite a bit of information regarding real time coverage from twitter activity and other social media.
