This is a very funny video by Jon Stewart, detailing just how much MSNBC has sold out to become the Democratic version of FOX. While funny, it is sad that we continue to lose valuable news sources to partisanship.

I'd actually say they're worse.

Funny satire from Borowitz a month ago:

MSNBC to Launch ‘****ing Joe’
Scarborough's Show in Porned-up Format

Just minutes after "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough dropped an F-bomb live on the air, MSNBC announced that it was re-launching the show to capitalize on its star's salty vocabulary.

"Starting on Tuesday, MSNBC's morning show will be known as '****ing Joe,'" said MSNBC spokesperson Carol Foyler. "We want to send the message that if you tune in to this show, you'll get a unique mix of breaking news and XXX-rated chat."

Quote:

But for Mr. Scarborough's part, the move to "porn up" his morning show came as no surprise.

"This move is a ****ing home run and anyone who doesn't think so is a ****ing ********er," Mr. Scarborough said, adding, "****."

We've always admitted that MSNBC was bias. Unlike a lot of you who blindly believe that Fox is fair and balanced. I remember a poll that was put up and conservatives on here overwhelmingly said that Fox was fair and balanced. Talk about sheep.

i think fox is more fair and balanced than msnbc, i dont watch enough cnn to know how much fairer they are. i didnt vote in that poll so i dont know what they are talking about. be careful using that word 'sheep', you arent nessecerily the most open minded poster on this site either.

Why should I be careful with using the word "sheep"? A lot of conservatives on here have been using it regularly for a couple of months. As usual nobody likes their own medicine. You should be the last person to talk about being openminded.

Come on man what I posted was notthat difficult to understand. I said for months a lot of conservatives have been calling us sheep on a regular basis. I'm not sure if you called posters sheep or not, you attack fairly regularly. A lot of the conservatives on here were doing it. What do you mean I should have a taste of my own medicine? I wasn't the one calling others a sheep for months.

Is that the same fox that got it's talking points straight from the WH? Neither Fox or MSNBC is fair and balance, put them together and then maybe you have something close to fair and balance, but on their own, they are right and left.. CNN is closest to fair and balance of the big 3.

Lol, very good. What's with MSNBC on Saturdays?? Can't afford 7 days of original programming? Why not show old episodes of The Prisoner?
