November 2, 201016 yr MSNBC is not nearly as liberal as Fox News is conservative. Only a conservative would scapegoat MSNBC like that imo... Yeah MSNBC is definitely liberal... but all you need is 10 minutes of Glenn Beck... Not exactly. For example: http://www.journalism.org/node/8187 If that's what I think it is... a chart displaying Obama, Clinton, etc. getting 'positive' coverage versus 'negative' coverage.... good lord. I cant believe you would ever cite that. That's 100% objective, unmeasureable, and opinionated data. Also, they're lacking the whole 'neutral' aspect. Of course... I didnt really give the whole thing a full read, I'm in a rush right now.
November 2, 201016 yr Not to mention that even though the majority of hosts on FN have a conservative bias, at least they will bring on some liberal guests. There are very few, if any, conservative guests on MSNBC. And when they do have some, they like to bring on guys like Pat Buchanan on so they can pretend like every conseravtive is a right-wing nut. Gonna have to disagree with you in a big way here. Both networks are equally guilty of this. Fox News constantly has people like Malik Zulu Shabazz on there as if he's a legitimate voice in public discourse. And for what it's worth, I'm sure it will be characterized as a "gotcha interview", but Maddow at least had Rand Paul on her show and from what I've seen does not shy away from having conservative voices on here. I don't watch too much, but I don't think her show is quite as much an echo chamber as you would make it out to be.

Well, I don't watch Matthews or Maddow too much, but I try to tune into Olbermann at least once or twice per week. I can firmly say that more often than not he will go an entire show without having one guest on that disagrees with him, which (in my opinion) doesn't seem to happen as much on Fox News. Just as an example though, I didn't see O'Reilly tonight, but Van Susteren had Scott McAdams on, Hannity had Bob Beckel and also invited Harry Reid, etc.
