MSNBC revealed as MORE partisan than Fox News
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti break down a recent report that ranks MSNBC as the most partisan broadcast news organization on cable, outpacing Fox News.

Tbh, both are equally insufferable. QAnon people watching Fox and Russiagaters watching the other. MSNBC's highest demographic are Blue MAGAs aged 65+. The network caters to affluent suburbanites (aka Karen), which increases advertising rates.

I mean, MSNBC's Nicole Wallace was communications director for former President George W Bush. Here she's defending Bush's torture program: VIDEO.

Don't know which of the two networks is more biased, but I think they both check that Parisian box; drives me nuts to watch either of them.

As someone looking in from the outside, it's a surreal experience watching either Fox or NBC. Sean Hannity on one end of the crazy stick, Rachel Maddow on the other. From the perspective of someone who lives in a country where we have broadcasting funded by the people, American news does seem crazy indeed. Of course no journalist will ever be 100% neutral, but networks like Fox or MSNBC is truly something else. They aren't even trying to appear neutral in any way any more, and some of the stuff they say is quite concerning to me.

This is why I prefer to get my news from sources outside the US as much as possible.

I'd argue that there's worse - far worse - than Rachel Maddow out in the wider US media spectrum. She strikes me as sane, and she has a solid research team backing her up.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
