Clo,

The real issue here is that, unlike over on Faux News, MSNBC'ers know the difference between news and opinion.

What a lot of people on the Right fail to grasp when they condemn the so-called 'liberal' bias of the media, is that there's absolutely nothing wrong with being biased, since we ALL ARE, just that this bias can't be allowed to convince you that YOUR own opinions are actually the news.

Over on Faux News they actually believe that they are journalist reporting the news. I can't recall ever hearing someone like Rachel Maddow or Ed Shultz on MSNBC ever refer to themselves as 'journalists'. When they need to report a 'news item' during their shows, they either play the clip of an actual news broadcast or they invite a journalist, like Andrea Mitchell, to report the news item themselves.

Brian Stelter of The New York Times reports that MSNBC is finally starting to catch up to Fox News in the ratings game, mainly by becoming the left-wing answer to Fox's conservative cheerleaders. Stelter says MSNBC, which normally trails Fox News in overall ratings, managed to best their cable rival in the key 25-54 year-old demographic on three straight nights after last week's election.

Stelter's premise is flawed, MSNBC reports FACTS & SCIENCE, unlike Fox.

MSNBC'ers were NOT sure which man would win & didn't tilt their reporting.
