MSNBC has been bashing Democrats ALL day! I thought they were on our side?

[Joanne98]

Isn't there anything in the new gossip book about Republicans?

[Omaha Steve]

1. I wish I had a good answer

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. remind me who recently bought MSGOP again?

anticommie-cast?

[crikkett]

3. with 95% of the headlines here bashing Dems on health care

I'd say MSNBC is simply following suit.

[GodlessBiker]

4. They are on whatever side that makes them the most money. That decision is made on day-to-day basis.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. I'd hope that they're not on anybody's side. But GE certainly knows which side

their bread is buttered.

[DJ13]

6. Only in the evening

They have more personalties than Sybil during the day.

(And they wonder why their daytime ratings lag so much...)

[rcrush]

7. LOL

Thats funny.

[CakeGrrl]

8. The MSM outlets are corporate-owned, regardless of

the programming MSNBC may put out there to bring in liberal viewers.

GE, their former (to be) owner and Comcast are controlled by conservative interests.

They want ratings. They don't care where the numbers come from, so throwing liberals a little carrot in the form of Countdown, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz is just a way to bring in more viewers under their 'big tent'.

That's offset by a lot of their other commentary and catering to Republicans during the rest of their political lineup and on their newscasts. Chris Matthews blowing hot and cold when it comes to liberal coverage means he has to play the field.

9. What gave you that idea? n/t

[TheKentuckian]

10. No, they make revenue off of us and needed a niche

Never, ever lose track of what a corporation is there to do, which is make money and consolodate power. All MSNBC does, for the most part, is repackage the "common wisdom" into more digestible bites for a different audience.

[graywarrior]

11. All day yesterday, too.

[sabbat hunter]

12. I do not want

any station on "our side" I want a true fair and balanced (not the nonsense that Fox puts out on a daily basis) for news. Additionally there are still 3 liberal leaning hosts in the evening on MSNBC.

[TheKentuckian]

13. Balanced is worthless but I'll take some of that fair

Afterall, if coverage was fair there would be no reason for balance because our always wrong conservative friends would be off the radar.

[jasi2006]

14. Don't fool yourself. 95% of the media who PRETENDED to

be giddy about Obama winning the Presdency were faking it. America is still America.

[Odin2005]

15. ALL corporations are by definition NOT on our side.

[DainBramaged]

16. MSNBC BLOWS GOATS

[southernyankeebelle]

17. Go to the CBS,com and there is a whole bunch of interviews that was

don't about Sarah Palin. Schmidt was on 60 minutes last night and really put it on the line. Wow.

[The Straight Story]

18. I prefer the media being hard on those in power, no matter the party (nt)

[Nikki Stone1]

19. How have they been bashing Democrats? (I don't have cable.)

[Buzz Clik]

20. Shocking. What's next? DU bashing Obama 24/7?

:shrug:

[WI_DEM]

21. Actually the media isn't supposed to be on anybody's side if they are doing their jobs.

But MSNBC is more conservative by day and more liberal at night.

[okieinpain]

22. man I thought that stuff about edwards was off the chart. poor guy

is just going to crawl under the bed and die.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. they are given orders what to broadcast

[truebrit71]

24. MSRNC? You must be joking...with the glaring exception of KO and Rachel

..it's pretty much 'All GOP all the time'...
