IS MSNBC BECOMMING THE NEW FOX NEWS

As a long time political junkie, I keep all three top cable news channels on my TV all the time, have for years. It seems that lately the degree of biased reporting has been on the increase at MSNBC. Lester Holt, Norah O'Donnell, and Chris Jansing seem to be the biggest offenders.

During the evening broadcasts MSNBC programs popular shows whose hosts clearly have a political ideology and that's fine, those shows are commentary. Chris Matthews, Kieth Olbermann, Tucker Carlson, Joe Scarborough, Rita Crosby all have shows and except for Matthews we all know what side of the aisle they are on and we watch their shows knowing this.

It is the morning "news" shows that are not represented as partisan commentary that has been changing. Chris Jansing reports mostly negative Democratic stories and positive Republican stories with the underlying subtext that Democrats are bad and Republicans are good.

It seems that whenever the Republicans put out their talking points that Jansing, Holt, and O'Donnel fall in lock step. When I have finished my research I will post specific instances of this bias. In the meantime remember that MSNBC is owned by General Electric and that they are a prime Defense Contractor that is making tons of money from the Iraq war.
