  • The Cheapening of American Politics: Why did Obama reward O'Reilly with an Interview?

      MSNBC has journalists with opinions. It's true. What they don't have is:

      1) 24/7 swift boat style propaganda. You can verify their reporting against other sources and they issue retractions when they get it wrong. They same cannot be said of Fox "News."

      2) MSNBC's CEO is a conservative named Phil Griffin whose primary aim is turning a profit. Fox's CEO is Roger Ailes who is driven by his extreme ideology as much as his greed.

      Nonsense. MSNBC has journalists who follow the facts where they lead and issue retractions or apologies when necessary.

      Fox "News" is 24/7 swift boat style smears, lies of omission, and outright deceptive editing of video and photos. They don't issue retractions and you frequently hear things like, "It has been alleged that ...." Yeah right. Because the idiot (anyone remember Glenn Beck?) on the show right before yours alleged it.

      They even won a court case in Florida upholding their freedom from any obligation to fact check what they report.
