Is MSNBC a propaganda beacon for the Democratic Party to influence the masses?

Just wondering what you think. And what about the rest of the left wing media are they also tools for the democrats?
 
Overall, I think you could say that MSNBC leans more one way than the other. Clearly, its prime time lineup conducts advocated news from a left of center position. At the same time, the network has some conservative hosts and commentators as well. The difference between Fox News and MSNBC is that Fox doesn't even make an attempt to appear, how should I put this..."fair and balanced".

MSNBC leans left of center, oh dear, say it ain't so. MSNBC is so far left they knocked Nancy Pelosi off of Fishermans Wharf in to San Fransisco Bay.
 
MSLSD is Barack Obama's worship station. Just like Christians can tune into TBN and Inspiration network to listen to the gospel, godless liberals tune into MSLSD to be inspired and edified by listening to Obama worship.

Hmmm that is a new one. Lets see if it catches on.;)
 
No its more that it has a lot of left wing ideologes.The trouble is when people are so convinced in their ideology they believe anything is ok "hey it doesent matter if i bend the truth because its ulitimately correct"
 
No, MSNBC is a company trying to make as much money as possible, and they've decided that reporting a liberal-friendly partisan view of things is the best way to go about that.
 
Just like for the FOX thread, is this whether MSNBC represents the Democratic Party's thinking, or whether MSNBC simply says things that Democrats can agree with?

And they don't show much at that, pretty much all they do is bash FOX for (ironically) being partisan.

Yes! And their five-viewers-a-night ratings is reflective of the fact that assiduously reporting liberal lies is a highly economically fruitful activity. :lol:

Gotta love silly liberal points. :lol:

If the "center" isn't far from Pinochet w/ boots at max shine that's not saying a whole lot.

I don't understand how people that say FOX isn't a propaganda beacon for the right say MSNBC is a propaganda beacon for the left.
 
I would say both stations cater to their audiences as a way to guarantee ratings to a certain extent, they have occupied niche markets that the other does not have.

What you imply however is inches short of conspiracy.


Though you probably don't have a problem with that.

Then take just two hours of your life and I'll show you.

Watch an hour of Rachel Maddow, arguably the smartest person on TV, and see her excoriate the dems as well as the repubs, even while doing so with an admittedly liberal viewpoint. Write down the news stories she covers, then fact-check it afterwards.

Then do the same with Beck, Hannity or even O'reilly.

Maddow argues using facts, whereas Beck et al argue using distortion of facts.
 
I'm going to be consistent; I said FOX wasn't Republican propaganda and I'm going to say that MSNBC isn't Democratic propaganda.

Your entire post was completely irrelevant to my post. I'm looking for an explanation from someone who thinks MSNBC is a beacon for the left but Fox news isn't for the right.

Not that your counterarguement was challenging, but I doubt anyone on Fox is a Rhodes Scholar:

A graduate of Castro Valley High School in Castro Valley, Maddow earned a degree in public policy from Stanford University in 1994. At graduation she was awarded the John Gardner Fellowship. She was also the recipient of a Rhodes Scholarship and began her postgraduate study in 1995 at Lincoln College, Oxford. In 2001, she completed her Doctor of Philosophy degree in politics from Oxford University.

Officially? No. In the real world? Yes.

Bill Gates owns MSNBC. Gates is as Republican as they come; therefore, MSNBC CANNOT be a Democratic propaganda beacon.

And Rupert Murdoch supported Hillary Clinton in 2006 and 2008. Now tell me FOX isn't a propaganda beacon for right wing news :

Their master's voice | Media | The Guardian

It isn't always clear exactly what Murdoch believes on any given issue, but this time we know for certain, courtesy of an interview in the Australian magazine, the Bulletin (which, by the way, he doesn't own). To cite the report of that interview in Murdoch's own Sydney Daily Telegraph, the "media magnate...has backed President Bush's stance against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein". Indeed, his quotes are specific. "We can't back down now, where you hand over the whole of the Middle East to Saddam...I think Bush is acting very morally, very correctly, and I think he is going to go on with it". Then came words of praise for Tony Blair. "I think Tony is being extraordinarily courageous and strong... It's not easy to do that living in a party which is largely composed of people who have a knee-jerk anti-Americanism and are sort of pacifist. But he's shown great guts as he did, I think, in Kosovo and various problems in the old Yugoslavia."

Most revealing of all was Murdoch's reference to the rationale for going to war, blatantly using the o-word. Politicians in the United States and Britain have strenuously denied the significance of oil, but Murdoch wasn't so reticent. He believes that deposing the Iraqi leader would lead to cheaper oil. "The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy...would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in any country."

He went even further down this road in an interview the week before with America's Fortune magazine by forecasting a postwar economic boom. "Once it [Iraq] is behind us, the whole world will benefit from cheaper oil which will be a bigger stimulus than anything else."

One action doesn't make a person right wing or left leaning. A series of actions however does.
 
id say until msnbc gets caught passing around internal talking points memos telling their staff to look for videos of alqaida celebrating republicans taking back congress like fox did with the democrats in 2006 and msnbc hires a democratic party operative as their president like fox has done with roger ailes then no not even close to being a propaganda arm. Msnbc has given an entire 3 hour block to a former republican congressman before that they had that douche tucker carlson had his own show as well. Which liberals have their own show on fox?

OMGZGZGZ! She was a Rhodes scholar? :roll:

Let's see her take on some of our conservative tough cookies. Isn't Maddow the same mental midget that ducked from having a one-on-one debate with Ann Coulter over her book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism"?

Isn't it hilarious how MSNBC hosts, like Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, portentously spew their trite and nonsensical liberal talking points, but never take on anyone with an opposing view? Anyone can magnanimously read shallow liberal talking points from Daily Kos and Media Matters, but, evidently, MSNBC liberals simply cannot defend their views in a robust debate. This is why their shows simply consist of one-sided liberal diatribes, and the interviewing of guests (who are know-nothing political commentators and who invariably possess the same silly liberal views as they do.) ;)
