Re: "Why are you concerned anyway? All the other stations are blatantly liberal and pro-Democratic." I think MSNBC is pretty fair in its reporting. They have some "screamers-interviewers" like the rest of 'em, but, for the most part, I think their news reports are pretty fair and balanced. I don't see much evidence of a conservative bias or liberal bias in the network's straight-forward reporting. I would also point out the fact that a network "has liberals on all the time" does not prove much. If these people are presented simply so that someone like Sean Hannity can attack them, then that is one matter. However, if these people are allowed to express their viewpoints logically, without interruption or attack, that is another matter.

Would LOVE to see a new Board: Propaganda.......We could all post "news/opinion article" of whatever the top news of the day was, and on the same post put another from another "news/opinion source", and highlight the bias words/thoughts. Maybe someone would have time to moderate it. Years ago, in order to take a World History course from the best teacher, she required we take her quarter long Propaganda class first....It truly was one of the most interesting classes I ever took.... She also taught us that if the article had someone's name on it, The article was an opinion, and belonged on the Op/Ed page...NOT on the front page, as it was not "news"...it was an opinion....Too bad the schools don't teach this type of course today!
