A report released Monday by the Pew Research Center on media
coverage
over the past 5 years indicates that MSNBC (with the lowest
overall
budget) relies 85 percent on "opinions" by their commentators and
15
percent on actual reporting of news events.

According to the study Fox News spends 55 percent of their air
time
on
commentary opinions and 45 percent on reporting of actual news.

CNN was rated as being the only cable network that spent more time
reporting the news than opinion commentary.

What a surprise.

Well, it's fine and dandy but the Huffington Hoax is hardly the
source
I
would go to for objective views about news coverage...

-----------------------------------

The study was done by the Pew Research Center, not by Huffington .




So shooting the messenger is not appropriate? My response to you is
why
do you watch and promote NBC over other networks that report more
news?

---------------------------------------------

The post was simply a comment on what the Pew Study report found. It
was not a personal endorsement of MSNBC.

I watch MSNBC to get the liberal's slant on politics and current
events. I watch CNN when I've had enough of watching MSNBC which is
usually by the time Al Sharpton has finished his show's introduction.
I used to suffer through Rachel Maddow's show but she's gone too far
over the line with MSNBC's leftist slant and she has become grating
for me to listen to. I don't drink, so I don't need her mixology
lessons either.

I don't think I've ever "promoted" MSNBC. To the contrary, I think
I've complained more or commented negatively about their programming.
The only show that I think is really worth viewing is "Morning Joe"
because Scarborough at least attempts to keep the discussions
balanced and will challenge those who start getting too far left in
their opinions or comments. To his credit, he will also take some of
the ultra-right wing nuts to task as well.

Lastly, I get a kick out of watching Mika Brzezinski getting
exasperated with some of Scarborough's comments.


You just like to see her cheast heave!
