MSNBC,lolol they even admit they are biased. by BLAKE DVORAK Just after John Edwards gave his rebuttal to President Bush in a commercial on MSNBC last night, Keith Olbermann, in the role as anchor, said perhaps more than he should: Here's the relevant Olbermann quote: "I don't want to be diverted by talking about commercials in the middle of the show but, Rachel, why on earth did he buy that commercial? I don't think I'm saying anything unknown to the audience, I don't think he would have gotten a hard time from this particular network. Why on earth did we do it that way?" Does this concession strike anyone else as incredibly inappropriate? Here's Olbermann, as an anchor, saying that his network -- as opposed to his show, or himself, or his panel -- would not have given Edwards a "hard time." MSNBC leans left, of course, but you're not supposed to admit it, you're not supposed to say, "We give Democrats an easier time than Republicans." Naturally, this isn't a surprise, coming from Olbermann. But are there any execs at MSNBC who are slightly upset that Olbermann just trashed their objectivity as a news network?<
