MSNBC doesn't use panic mongering and propaganda all day long. We call this a 'false equivalence.' At the end of the day, MSNBC reports more fairly than the "Fair and Balanced" Fox.
You won't agree, because RW media has done on a number on the minds of people over the years. They love that saturation technique. The reason Fox and RW performance artists all target normal news outlets is because they don't want their audience watching/listening to additional information.
So what does RW media do? Propagandize "lame-stream media" all day long with the hopes the listener never EVER relys on a single word they say.
If traditional news had just stuck to reporting news without any sort of bias towards the left, FoxNews never would have come to exist. In the beginning, FoxNews actually
WAS fair and balanced. Obviously, since then, things have changed.
FoxNews came about because of the success of CNN which was the first 24 hour news channel. CNN used to be fair and balanced too, in the beginning, but over time as it skewed more and more to the left, and as MSNBC did the same, that created a market for a 24 hour news channel with more of a lean to the right, and the market bared that out. FoxNews won ratings for almost 15 years in a row.
Now, to compete with the 24 hour news channels, the traditional news channels, ie CBS, NBC, and ABC had to get more into the pontificating instead of just reporting the news schtick.
Look, any way you look at it, the news we get in America is so scrubbed and filtered and controlled that you have to go elsewhere to get fair reporting.
CNN International is my favorite because it gives the only truly unbiased view of what is going on in this country.
It's just a fact that, by and large, our reporters who are US citizens with political beliefs of their own just aren't going to give an honest appraisal of events and will do whatever they can to score political points, or help those they agree with to win political points.
