Obama's hypocrisy even too much for NBC to ignore.

When someone at a mainstream news outlet supports something Obama does, that means they are biased and in his pocket and blah blah blah.

When someone at a mainstream news outlet criticizes Obama, it's SHOCKING, I mean SHOCKING! and must be a slow news day.

The idea that some of what Obama does is worth supporting and some of what he does is worth criticizing never enters the mind of a hack.

If it were any other source it wouldn't be notable but MSNBC is damn near a mouth piece of the Obama admin. It is surprisin to see this from them.

Well that's because Obama's a purely evil, mustache-twitching villain. They heard it on Fox so it must be true.

It's from NBC, not MSNBC. They are very different, even though they're part of the same organization.

Good for them for taking on obama. Way too often the media defends everything he does and just serves as propaganda for him. We need more in the media to take on obama.

NBC is not MSNBC. The former is just left biased, the latter is complete garbage. I'm still very surprised to see this on NBC, just shows you how bad you really have to be for your own adoring supporters to complain.

They go against him all the time. They don't like his war and they don't like his drone strikes and they don't like compromise with idiot Republicans.

Here's an interesting article regarding a Pew study on media bias during the final week before the last election. But what the hell do I know...it's sure dark in here and it really stinks too! ;)

MSNBC's Bias Against Mitt Romney Was Astonishing

No one really expects MSNBC's coverage to put a positive spin on Republicans — but in the final week of the 2012 presidential campaign, the network's coverage toward presidential nominee Mitt Romney skewed entirely negative.

According to a new study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, MSNBC provided no "positive" coverage of Romney during the campaign's final week.

Here's a look at the chart of polarization:

By comparison, 57 percent of MSNBC's coverage toward Romney was negative during the first three weeks of October — and it did provide at least some positive coverage. Throughout the entirety of the campaign, the network's coverage was 68% negative. The rest of the combined news media's coverage of Romney, Pew found, was only 33 percent negative.

Pew found that Fox News became similarly biased during the campaign's final week — though it was not as polarized as MSNBC. Only 5 percent of its Obama coverage was positive, while 56 percent was negative. This differed from the rest of the news media, which provided more positive coverage of the president during the Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts and as polls pointed to a definitive Obama victory.

I never claimed MSNBC was objective, nor that they were fair towards Romney, so that comment wasn't necessary.

I made mine because people were pretending MSNBC has never criticized Obama, which is bullshit.

Your article doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I don't watch MSNBC.

The problem is right-wing morons who don't compare Fox to MSNBC, but compare Fox to actual news sources in an effort to pretend that Fox isn't a propaganda channel -- which is what it is, just like MSNBC.
