MSNBC really is more partisan than Fox, according to Liberal Think Tank Pew study
How does Comcast allow such wretched bias in presidential coverage?

In writing about the Pew study released today, I was struck by the big story of how negative coverage on several levels of presidential politics had become.
I think this is big trouble for democracy, especially the hostile level of discourse in social media. And that it’s something the media need to address collectively after the election.
But here’s one of several fascinating smaller findings of the study that are kind of stunning — even if they seem obvious and ho-hum to some of my more jaded, postmodern, aren’t-we-cleverly-ironic colleagues:
ON MSNBC, the ratio of negative to positive stories on GOP candidate Mitt Romney was 71 to 3.
That’s not a news channel. That’s a propaganda machine, and owner Comcast should probably change Phil Griffin’s title from president to high minister of information, or something equally befitting the work of a party propaganist hack in a totalitarian regime. You wonder how mainstream news organizations allow their reporters and corrdespondents to appear in such a cauldron of bias.
I have found MSNBC to have a well balance number of reporters and contributors.
One is a former chairman of the GOP campaign staff and is a regular contributor to the program and well respected by all contributors.
In addition, whenever Democrat views are presented there are generous GOP views and speakers presented. They often have a fair back and forth discussion that holds my attention.
View it more often you will get a good education in today’s politics.
sliver alert the old mans lose again , no it does not surprise anyone “I have found MSNBC to have a well balance number of reporters and contributors. ” , MSLSD is a joke and another pathetic example of why no one except you watches the Main stream media any more
