| How many negative stories did MSNBC do about Obama (Posted on 11/20/12 at 1:43 pm)
in the last week of the campaign?
How many positive stories did MSNBC do about Romney in the same time period?
If you answered "zero" to both questions, then you get a gold star.
According to just released data by the Pew Research Center:
quote:
A new study just released by the Pew Research Center found that in the final week of the just-ended presidential campaign, the "Lean Forward" network did absolutely no negative stories about President Obama or positive ones about Mitt Romney.
MSNBC's coverage of Romney during the final week (68% negative with no positive stories in the sample), was far more negative than the overall press, and even more negative than it had been during October 1 to 28 when 5% was positive and 57% was negative.
For Obama, meanwhile, the coverage improved in the last week. From October 1 to 28, 33% was positive and 13% negative. During the campaign's final week, fully 51% of MSNBC's stories were positive while there were no negative stories at all in the sample.

It is well established that MSNBC is a hack network.

Aren't we lucky that MSNBC is the exception to the rule in the fair and unbiased reporting of the rest of the MSM.

Maddow is O'Reilly, but intelligent.

What does that mean, apart form the obvious? I've seen O'Reilly's show, although not in a long time. Is your point that both O'Reilly and Maddow are terrible? Or is it something else?

It is a liberal network watched by liberals. Plus it is more than counter-balanced by FOX. What is your point?

Mostly negative stories. Pretty much the opposite of MSNBC.

My poiint is that MSNBC is not an actual news organization. Their true function is to serve as propaganda dispensers for leftist politicians, causes and ideology.

Then apparently Harvard and Boston University will accept anyone only as intelligent as a lamp post for grad school.
