A couple of very recent examples of their impartiality:
1) After the Obama "Throw Grandma Under the Bus" speech Chris Matthews had a discussion forum consisting of two "New Republic" writers and some woman from "the Independent Women Forum of Blah..Blah...Blah". You will be shocked to learn that all three panelists loved Obama's speech. Shocking that such a balanced forum of far-left and left panelists would come to the same conclusion.
2) Keith "I love to Smirk" Olbermann didn't think Spitzer's scandal was such a big deal. He never led with the story and it was never his #1 either. He always buried it in the middle with a very quick segment. But guess what was a big story to Olbermann? Bil O'Reilly reporting on Spitzer. His #1 story the other night was him making fun of O'Reilly for talking about Spitzer. I'm sure he would have taken the same approach if Spitzer was a Republican.
I could et really upset about this but then I remembered it was MSNBC.

Doesn't that stand for MoreShitNothingButCrap?
They never cover Republican stories in a negative light, absolutely never....I'd bet they didn't spend 2 minutes talking about the David Vitter & Larry Craig scandals, but when it was Spitzer (D-NY) every show probably covered it for the entire hour....The reason O'Reilly was #1 on Olbermann's show was becuase of the utter hypocrisy surrounding O'Reilly....Bill O'Reilly had to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit in 2004, so for him to scold Elliott Spitzer is quite fucking hypocritical, so Keith called him out on it......
Keith's show is doing way better than 962,000 viewers.....He just signed a five year deal recently & though he isn't #1 , he's not 10th. either....
MSNBC is the only network worth watching...
Uhh.. his rating are his ratings, and they're bad. But you can wish away all you want. I'm sure Olbermann does.
O'Reilly has a right to report on the news. And (except Olbermann) everybody was justifiably killing Spitzer.
Fox News covered the Craig scandal as much as any other network. I came up with solid examples of MSNBC's blatant partisanship. Whining liberals cry about Fox but they can't show evidence. How's that yummy Kool Aid tasting Moosey?
then you are one dumb red stater....
At least there are moderates & conservatives on MSNBC; Joe Scarborough, Chris Matthews are far from liberals.....
And again, Keith's ratings are just fine...They wouldn't have signed him to a five year deal as a fucking charity, he's been on since 2003 & isn't going anywhere, despite what you rabid righties say...
of course fox leans right....big fucking deal...part of the genuis of murdoch was to cater to the HUGE group of people who were tired of having Libbie Bullshit Lefty News Channel on every spot on the dial.
You dwell on Fox, Who else??
I'll give you that, and Ill take CNN, PMSNBC, NBC,CBS,NPR, BBC,ABC,...
Do I even have to go into the Halls of Social Indoctriation, namely EVERY FUCKING UNIVERSITY IN AMERICA?????

MSNBC is the only network worth watching"...
I watch parts of all of them, but on the internet, so "I" can choose the topic. I listen to NPR on the radio in the morning, and some of Rush in the afternoon. I don't care about O'Reilleys moral views of Spitzer so I cut that off but I was interested in Spitzers hypocritical history of busting what he desired ,and the big brother methods in which it was done..I realize most libs don't like to see or hear the truth as it is much easier for them to follow like sheep .So if it makes you happy keep on watching just MSNBC and only learn what they teach you.
LOL...You accuse me of following like sheep, yet YOU listen to the pill-popping fatso, Rush Limbaugh?....

He's not fat anymore. What do you think the pills were for?
I listen to many people's opinions. It doesn't mean I share them.
But that doesn't apply to Democrats. Because they are obviously so weak minded that they can't figure out things like, eg, Iraq is a clusterfuck because the math never added up.
Did you say something about double standards? or is that the same issue, ie doesn't apply to Democrats?
You have to say "I'd bet they never covered the David Vitter and Larry Craig scandals....." because you have NO idea whether they did or did not. Why? Because you are so busy trashing FOX News, that you don't have time to actually WATCH FOX News. I know this because if you ever DID watch FOX News, you would KNOW that they did in fact spend oodles of time covering Vitter's story, are still covering the slow train wreck that is Craig's story, and any other newsworthy story that comes up.
Yesterday, they aired Obama's speech in its entirety, today they aired part of another speech by Obama, and then cut away to a speech by Hillary in the interest of being fair and balanced. Gee, how much press time does McCain get on the Obama Cheerleader Network or the Clinton News Network? Not much. Unless it is a bogus rumor about a potentially inappropriate relationship with a lobbyist of course.
At best, I agree with O'Reilly maybe half the time, but when it comes to the Wright story he is just about the only one who got it right. While every other commentator was shitting themselves with glee over Obama's "worthy of Lincoln" speech, O'Reilly correctly pointed out the not one, but MANY inconsistencies, and brought the discussion back to Obama's piss poor judgement. Well done O'Reilly. Olberman, Mathews and others could learn from him.
PS. Olberman's ratings really are that bad. Sorry to burst your bubble.
The American news media can accuratly be called the Jewsmedia, it is almost all owned and/or controlled by Jewish interests.
Notice how Obama mentioned rabbis along with pastors and priests in his "gotta make sure the white sheep don't get awakened by my hypocritical ties with a Black separatist" regarding people disagreeing with what their religious leaders think and say. He knows who runs the system and show. Why didn't he mention any other religious leaders (Muslim,Buddist,etc). He would of had they had the kind of control that the Jews have.
For this nation to truly taste freedom once more the offices and studios of every mainstream media outlet in this country needs to be razed to the ground.
MSNBC does have Pat Buchanan though and when he makes the libs looks like naive fools it is funny to watch
