Last night I watched the returns rolling and posted updates on my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I took upon myself the unenviable task of watching MSNBC's coverage of the election.
Keep in mind that this is the MSNBC that is constantly belittling Fox for being biased for Republicans.
Reputable cable news outfits generally have at least one bona fide objective journalist covering the returns. For example, Fox News doesn't have Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity hosting the hard-news coverage.
MSNBC on the other hand? Well, I posted these updates last night:
Fox News has one hard news journalists, one conservative, and two liberals on their panel. MSNBC has 5 bombthrowers (including Matthews, Maddow, Olbermann, and O'Donnel) and zero conservatives.
and
The 5 liberal msnbc hosts interviewed bachmann, called her "moronic", then ridiculed the notion that msnbc is in the tank for the Democrats
So while Fox News didn't stack the deck with conservative commentators, MSNBC asked their entire stable of far-left talking-heads digest the news for their viewers--with no representation from the other side.
Ironically, the five liberals scoffed at the notion that MSNBC was in the tank for Democrats. Republicans might have objected--if any were included on the panel.
It should come as little surprise then that Mediate reported that Fox's coverage was fairer than MSNBC.
MSNBC's
election coverage was led by a panel comprised mostly of its opinionated
prime-time hosts (Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence
O'Donnell, along with frequent contributor Eugene Robinson), with nary a
conservative voice in the mix. In contrast, Fox News's was provided by two
anchors from its straight-news dayside, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier, along with
a panel that included conservatives like Karl Rove as well as liberals like
Juan Williams.
Fox
News offered a far more balanced set of analysts for the election coverage than
did MSNBC.
Credit where due, Fox also had a more, well, balanced panel much of the night than its competitor MSNBC. Holding forth from left of center for Fox were the recently-high-profile Juan Williams and Democratic political guru Joe Trippi. MSNBC's main lineup, on the other hand, was basically its center-to-left lineup of nightly hosts: Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell.
This evidence seems to say that Fox News might not be as biased as the Left says it is--and that it's the Left who needs a lesson in fairness.
Eric Ingemunson's commentary has been featured on Hannity, CNN, NBC, Inside Edition, and KFI's The John and Ken Show.
Eric was born and raised in Ventura County and currently resides in Moorpark. He earned a master's degree in Public Policy and Administration from California Lutheran University. As a conservative, Eric supports smaller government, less taxation, more individual freedom, the rule of law, and a strict adherence to the Constitution.
I watched MSNBC until I could watch it no longer. It was nothing but hand-ringing, predictions of doom and gloom with the Republicans now in charge, and downright anger. There was also incessant criticism of the Tea Party and "Americans now being led by a bunch of brown shirts" and other nonsense.
The thing that irked me the most is when they brought Republican Congressman Eric Cantor from Virginia on the air and started grilling him about what the Republicans are going to do differently, when are they going to raise the debt ceiling, etc., etc. The poor guy got blasted from all sides, especially from Lawrence O'Donnell who kept badgering him to answer questions he couldn't possibly have the answers to right now. Rachel *bleep!* was getting her licks in too at every opportunity.
It was truly nauseating.
It was like driving by a gruesome automobile accident and looking even though you know you should'nt. Yes, Ilooked....Dang-it. Laurence Odonnell completely lost it on the air and the rest of the panel acted like 3rd graders who just lost their marbles. Imagine if Barney Frank were a conservative and was interviewed by this group of boat anchors. They would have teased him viciously. But that would be extweemwee unpwofessionoe. At least they could have put up a few viewer warnings before Chris Mattews was about to speak. He is so intelligent that I feel dumb listening to him. Maybe we can all learn something from this MSNBC experiment...UH, ok maybe not.
Lawrence O'Donnell kept pounding Cantor on the debt ceiling issue. I saw that, too. Clearly, the Left is going to use this issue as a cudgel to beat the Republicans to death with. If the Republicans raise the debt ceiling, their base will evaporate. If they don't, the government shuts down, just like in 1995.
During that time, the Democrats got on TV and railed how the Republicans were going to prevent Social Security checks from being mailed out. Clinton cruised to reelection in 1996.
