MSNBC hails its new website as ‘What Progressives Have Been Waiting For.’ If only CNN, ABC, and CBS could be as honest about their role as the PR wing of the Democrat Party.
This was one of the reasons I dropped Comcast Cable earlier this year; I didn’t see any point in subsidizing the deranged race-baiting of Chris Matthews, the non-stop ranting of Ed Schultz, the deranged hatred Martin “Sarah Palin Eats Poo” Bashir and the rest of the Arkham Asylum of news networks. Also, I never understood the appeal of Rachel Maddow; she always struck me as smug and condescending. I guess progressives just like smug and condescending as much as they like crazy.
But I guess the question is… how can MSDNC be even *more* of a Democrat propaganda outlet than it already is? The Pew Research Center studied MSNBC’s content and determined that 85% of it was pro-Democrat propaganda, and only 15% actual news. So, I guess that gives them another 15% to work with.
They really are a bunch of left wing nutsl Why does ANYONE take them seriously?
Unfortunately, Comcast has a monopoly on cable in my area; unless your using a dish, Comcast is the only game in town. But there is always the internet.
Interestingly, that same Pew study said that both Fox and CNN were almost 50/50 fact and opinion. If push comes to shove, I can tolerate CNN. But it’s always funny when I introduce somebody who thinks Fox is a propaganda channel to the lineup. They always come away surprised by how wrong they were.
If MSDNC is Arkham Asylum, does that make Rachel Maddow Poison Ivy? And can Martin Bashir be the Joker? 🙂
I have come to believe that they really don’t think being taken seriously is important. I’m sure they love the echo chamber they’ve created, and they likely do make a certain amount of money from ads (even as the ratings decline). At this point, they’re like those kids who put on “plays” in the basement–it’s all about doing what they like to do, not about creating a valuable or well-made product.
I have yet to see any of their “personalities” get upset that their work isn’t getting recognized more, or that they aren’t taken more seriously by the rest of the mainstream media.
Progressives are inherently smug and condescending. They cannot conceive of someone thinking differently, therefore, people who think differently are stupid.
In the evenings, MSNBC is known as the “angry white liberals” channel at our house.
The Pew Research Center studied MSNBC’s content and determined that 85% of it was pro-Democrat propaganda, and only 15% actual news.
No, they didn’t. They found that 85% was “opinion and commentary,” and had no finding on ideological or partisan balance.
