Any righty who comes to USMB should go to MSNBC and watch at 6pm or 7pm to learn what the real left position is. And they will also let you know why/how and when the GOP spin is wrong.
I watch Fox and all they do is spew their own lies. They never debunk the left's position, they just spin it and/or make shit up. And to me this is obvious because I listen to both sides.
I believe right wing media prays on people who don't investigate the information they get.
First sealy I watch MSNBC and FOX for entertainment because thats all they are is entertainment. Both of those networks have zero news ability and are more akin to the national inquirer than they are a real news source. If you want to know what the bill is read the bill, if you want to know what it's about watch the debate in congress and then make up your own mind and don't let some network make it up for you. Thats what investigation really is and not listening to some sportscaster who could not even get into Harvard tell you how much he knows about things.
I want the behind the scenes information or the left's take on what's going on so I go to MSNBC. If they snuck something in the bill, I watch MSNBC to find out if its a GOP bill and I expect Fox to tattle tale on the Dems when Dodd gives bonus' to AIG. And
And I don't find MSNBC to be lying. They are just telling you the Dems side of things. I happen to agree. You don't like the Dem position so you don't. Fine. And you have a brain so you see Fox's bias too. Good for you.
When I come here to tell you some news that I heard on liberal sources and that you won't hear on mainstream or corporate sources, then prove my news wrong. Prove Air America or MSNBC wrong. And not on a little mistake here and there. Also show me that they purposely lie like Fox seems to.

CNN and Fox News Channel both pointed out Tuesday that MSNBC included special coverage of Tim Russert’s death and memorial in its June data ratings for Hardball With Chris Matthews – prompting MSNBC to say it made an error.
The flap was over a press release that MSNBC issued, based on Nielsen data, with the headline “MSNBC’s ‘Hardball’ No. 1 Among Adults in June at 5 p.m.”
According to the release, Hardball averaged 190,000 adults 25 to 54 in June, beating CNN and Fox News at 5 p.m. in that demographic for the first time since February 2002.
But the announcement immediately drew fire from CNN and Fox News, who charged that MSNBC was using straight 5 p.m. time slot data for June, not data solely for Hardball.
By using the 5 p.m. info, rather than program data, MSNBC was including in its tally special coverage it had aired on Meet the Press moderator RussertÂ’s death and memorial.

On Sunday, Gail Shister of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote another in a series of typically glowing MSM articles singing the praises of Keith Olbermann. But in that article, she wrote that Olbermann is an only child. Keith's galpals immediately noticed the error and wrote Shister to complain.
Shister's response?
Hi, A younger sister? He told me to my face that he's an only child. Please xplain... Best gs
So today, Shister has printed a correction. Funny, she seemed quite emphatic in her communications with Keith's galpals that it was Olbermann himself who lied to her that he was an only child. So who's lying here? Was it Olbermann who decided to omit his sister from the family tree? Or is Shister just covering for Olbermann after we here at Olbermannwatch shed light on Keith's lie-telling and Shister's confirmation of Keith's lying to her. Another MSM cover-up?
Here's Olbermann, as an anchor, saying that his network -- as opposed to his show, or himself, or his panel -- would not have given Edwards a "hard time." MSNBC leans left, of course, but you're not supposed to admit it, you're not supposed to say, "We give Democrats an easier time than Republicans."
Naturally, this isn't a surprise, coming from Olbermann. But are there any execs at MSNBC who are slightly upset that Olbermann just trashed their objectivity as a news network?
Want me to keep going sealy I could literally fill this thread up with this nonsense about these two networks who's job it is , is to put up the party line mantra's nightly and pose that as real news. What I suggested was that if you wanted real political news you need to go to the source and not have some commentator between you and the news who's job it is , is to make sure you understand it the way they do. Many years ago there used to be something called objective news media but that time has long past.
