Hell no don’t fire them, just make them ride out the remainder of their contracts as staunch conservatives and watch them squirm. They could call them FOXNEWS LIGHT.

Harsh truth!

So you are right here, right now saying for the record that MSNBC does NOT have a political agenda???

MSNBC President Phil Griffin stated last year that the network couldn’t have a conservative host in the evening because it would disrupt what they were trying to do in prime time with its “progressive” lineup of shows.

Okay, that’s not necessarily a contradiction with what Wolff is saying since the prime time is separate from the straight news component; but it certainly raises questions to me about whether the network, in part, has a political agenda.

In prime time, it certainly seems to.

Hopefully, this man was driving to a nearby rehab facility immediately after the conclusion of the interview.

Yes, FNC leans to the right and MSNBS leans (to put it mildly) to the left. The biggest difference is that at least FNC gives voice to liberal commentators. On their panel shows, they always have at least one liberal voice, and frequently several liberal voices represented.

MSNBC, OTOH, didn’t have a single conservative or even moderate contributor in their post-speech analysis. It’s laughable.

‘MSNBC Does Not Have A Political Agenda…We Tell The Truth’

The Whopper is always best when served up by a lunatic-left d-crat socialist:

political hack sullivan: obozo is a fiscal conservative !
“You lie!” hussein: The countrywide-dodd/buffoon-barney frank financial overhaul bill will end bank bailouts.
crazy pelsoi: I did not have briefings on that subject, “enhanced interrogation.”
wrong-way napolitano: The border has never been more secure.
kagan: she’ll do her best to “consider every case impartially, modestly, with commitment to principle and in accordance with law.” (She even managed to say that with a straight face!)
“wee-weed” hussein: You can keep your current plan and doctor under socialized heathcare.
“crazed sex poodle” gore: I created the internet.
“shakedown” hussein: Under obozocare, insurance premiums will decrease by 3000%
“bite-me” biden: pelosi’s PORKULUS created or saved millions and millions of jobs.
“post-racial” hussein: We’ve got the “shovel ready” projects ready to go.
jimmy “the peanut” carter: My presidency was a success!

And the mother of them all:
“monica-stain” clinton: I did not have se*ual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.

MSNBC reports the truth?

HA!

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAH!!!

AAAAA… hehehe…. eeeh, that was funny.

So Matthews was just stating the fact that Bachmann is a balloon head ?

Okay, so Bill Wolff is either a liar or mentally damaged. What do I do with this information?

Yes, that’s why dullards on MSNBC say non-political things like this:

“In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees. In any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead, the commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States.”

The VP of Primetime Programming doesn’t think about profits, nor does he make decisions based upon what’s good for business? I’m sure the shareholders would be interested to know.

Sure, news used to be a loss-leader for the broadcast networks, but that’s changed; MSNBC is pretty much in the news business and because most of their primetime consists of people talking and they have almost no news gathering operation of their own: How do they arrive at the truth?

I didn’t know this was a comedy site.I’d look for this on Stewart’s show but it isn’t Fox so a variety of sites,channels and people will say nothing.

All that differentiates MSNBC from FNC is that MSNBC is slightly more subtle especially during daypart.

Oh and if ever there was a case of a channel spreading false information concerning themselves this is one and shame on any site that perpetuates it.

That is a big fat load of crap.

“no political agenda” ?????????? HaHaHaHaHaHa….
Is he also selling the Brooklyn Bridge?

I think its great Lawrence O’Donnell comes out and tells everyone that he is a socialist. We know and he is truthful
but for MSNBC still hides there agenda…

You gotta excuse Mr. Wolff. He, just like so many other Americans, doesn’t actually watch MSNBC… so how would he know any different?

Maddow is just as ignorant. Remember, we do news, fox is a political campaign. She was then bombarded with many instances of Dems trolling for donations on her clownish network. She never responded or set the record straight. She is not successful. She is a media darling. The folks can’t stand her.

ok now you are been funny

MSNBC always has the lowest ratings, so whatever they are doing there, it is not working, definitely. Also, as much as the race card is played on MSNBC, I’m wondering why MSNBC refuses to hire black anchors. Less than 19% of the population are fringe lefties, so this probably explains why the the MSNBC audience is very small.

In the Phil Griffin quote Colby used in the post, he acknowledged a leftward lean and Roger Ailes has recently spoken of sides. CNN markets itself as down-the-middle and you may not agree, but it’d be news if an executive were to say something contrary to that narrative, rather than parrot the line.

Liberals will continue to fight for the rights of all citizens including you conservatives. I know you conservatives do not understand the good we are doing for you because of the misinformation you receive from Fox News; believe me at the end you will thank every single liberal in America.

Magister says:

So does FOX, so I fail to see your point.

PS – @lonestar77) My Ctrl-F shows that Colby only wrote the word “Fox” one time and in the next sentence he used “both”, so that’s hardly “so much of this post”. IMHO

I’m just Darn Awful,
You prove why the left is losing power. You think the average American is just too stupid to know what’s good for them. We need the nanny gov’t to make the hard decisions for us because we can’t do it alone. PLEASE keep it up!!

Roger Ailes’ “the other side” may be the only acknowledgment by senior management that Fox leans right in primetime. I could find the links, but there’s been a couple of statements that defined their news blocks and opinion programming. MSNBC also seems to have news blocks and shows that executives recognize as including opinion, while I don’t know that CNN has made that distinction and they treat most everything as news.

It is not that the American people are stupid, the fact is the American people do not have the resources the gov’t has available; therefore the gov’t is more inform than the average American.

So I’m just darn awful, if that’s your view, then I guess when Bush was President, you agreed with everything he “did for you” since he had more info that you. Do I have that right?

BTW – ISee2012) My point and the way I read Colby’s OP is that MSNBC (and perhaps Fox) has a line-up to their primetime, while Mr. Wolff’s statement seems to contradict his boss.

Though my original point, way back on page one of these comments is that I find it surprising and a bit disloyal to the shareholders, if a company executive doesn’t take profits or business into consideration, when making decisions as member of the management team.

I stand corrected, when liberals are in power.

Ah, but you see – there is the fallacy. A more accurate presentation would be that the “Conservative” point of view is in the middle of the bulls-eye on a dart board, that is, defined as strict adherence to what the US Constitution says is what we will do. Then the “liberal” point of view is simply how far away from that ideal we are willing to stray. It’s not ‘left’ and ‘right’ like a teeter totter. It’s more like right on target, or less on target. You have seen dart boards before, I assume. I’m not talking about any other kind of target, naturally.

So the criticism about Fox News is really making fun of them for being more accurate than you want them to be. This is sort of the meaning of the words you may have heard: “We hold these truths to be self-evident.”

What rights? The right to have your life run by Washington? Aside from abortion, sodomy and free stuff, what rights does the left care about?

That’s what I thought I’m just darn awful. I believe Calvin has it right. You just keep believing that the American people are too stupid to think for themselves and this last election is going to be viewed as a great day in comparision to the next one for you guys.

Don’t go into police work…our country does not need anyone like you in a position like that, with the reasoning you have displayed here.

As a matter of fact, you would be qualified to be a criminal…probably a very good one at that.

“MSNBC has had great success with its shift to the left,”

They have the worst ratings in cable news, yet you characterize their shift to the left as successful? Spin much?

“The truth” is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. The problem w/ so much of the media reporting is not so much that it’s telling lies; it’s that it omits so much information that would present the whole truth. In addition, a lot of little things skew the “truth,” and those things influence, by accident or design, the quality of the information. I remember vividly an example during the Clinton administration: the female reporter, looking doe-eyed while talking about Clinton, reported something about education, “an issue close to President Clinton’s heart.” Huh? She has no idea what’s close to his heart and shouldn’t have said that. Instead, she should have reported the story and if compelled to speak of his heart, said, “an issue he claims is close to his heart.” Big, big difference. And so much for objective reporting and “truth.”

When a reporter looks as though she’s in love and then attributes HER emotions to the object of her reporting, that’s hardly disseminating “the truth.” Watch many news shows with pen in hand and you’ll find like examples everywhere. Omission is more difficult ,because if the audience hasn’t already read about the subject being reported, it doesn’t know what it’s not being told.

I will take Krauthammer, Will, and Goldberg over Maddow or Wolf any day. She doesn’t have the intellectual balls to be a gardener for any of the three.

Bill Wolff has zero credibility with me after making that statement. He is either delusional or more likely deliberately spinning/lying. Not good either way.

““MSNBC does not have a political agenda. ”

Jesus Christ, this is absolutely insane. It is a progressive network, like Fox is a conservative network.

Why is that so hard to admit?

Well, actually if you look at Mediaite ratings postings, you will see evidence of their great success over CNN and HLN, their non-FOX competitors… They beat the stuffing out of Joy Behar in the demo on a regular basis, before Keith left. They are the number one non-Fox news channel(number two overall), and if you buy the administration spin that FOX isn’t really news, then MSNBC can make a (dubious)claim to be the number one CABLE news channel (among good thinking progressives and liberals of course).

Just to be nit-picky, but MSNBC has been number two in primetime. I haven’t seen any numbers for the dayside in a while, but I find it doubtful MSNBC surpasses CNN during the day. Therefore, I like to make the distinction that MSNBC is number two for like four hours a night, with just domestic viewers and only during that narrow timeframe.

What a joke. Is this guy for real? MSNBC tells the truth? MSNBC doesn’t have a political agenda??

This statement by Colby:

Fox News primetime line up advances opinion that are from the right of center, and that MSNBC’s line up presents news and analysis from a left of center point of view

is kind of funny too. Anyone who places Gretta as a “right of center” person doesn’t pay much attention to her. As for MSNBC’s line-up “presents news”???? Since when does MSNBC do news in primetime? Really Colby, makes the whole article a little off kilter doncha think?

Owe really MSNBC, ‘I say your the biggest left wing organization there ever was, you invented the curve ball when you report news it comes from the billionaire’s purse, than it sets in a yellow envelope hidden in a safe. Than it hit’s the banks vault and they pay for the envelope, OK than it’s cut and pasted into, ‘Berry H Obomas TelePrompTer and ran threw your news-vine vain for the control grid captured by our very own C.I.A. and F.B.I. for your sick ostrich thinkers that ruin everything that’s good.
MSNBC Stands for one thing and that is corporations and their personhood that are accountable for nothing!
‘And un -prosecutable for anything, above the law and that think they are god! ‘I have news for you, ‘Bush 1 and 2 and all you pope’s or religious people that think you are above the creator, your time is almost up! ‘New world order, All of you are in my little black book I am forced to eat and you will be tried for murder all of you!
I am the lamp-stand of the almighty one you have pissed on your last American!

I imagine the commentators and managers of msnbc get a little dizzy trying to look moderate while leaning so far to the left all the time.

Richard I think you got into what Bill Wolff is smoking.

I’ve changed my mind…I don’t want any of that stuff.

You and Bill can keep it! It seems to make you both say incoherent things and in your case, twice!

You probably won’t see this reported, so here goes…

Check out where MSNBC placed……

Wolff’s statements are not inconsistent. Having a liberal point of view does not oblige a person – or network – to promote a particular political party or its politics.

MSNBC is not ‘political” in the sense that it does not relentlessly pursue the Democratic Party line – unlike Fakes “News,” which is the de facto propaganda arm of the Tea Party Republicans. While MSNBC/GE gave a modest contribution to both the Democratic and Republican Governors’ Associations, for example, Fox gave a huge contribution to the Republican group and none to the democratic group (to my knowledge). The obvious intent was to curry favor with the Repubs.

“MSNBC reports the truth? HA!”

Cite a proven factual error of theirs (that they didn’t correct). We’ll wait.

“Not political? MSNBC “The PLACE FOR POLITICS’, maybe they should change their tag line.”

They DID. (“Lean Forward”). Why not WATCH before criticizing.

“Maddow is ignorant, shallow, smarmy and intellectually dishonest.”

She is factually accurate and therefore not “ignorant.” Any factual errors she makes are corrected on-air. She goes into considerable depth on many of her stories and is therefore not “shallow.” You may not care for her sense of humor but she is not “smarmy” in the Bill O’Reilly mode. She justifies her opinions, like ‘em or not, and is therefore not “intellectually dishonest.”

“If she were an unattractive straight woman she would be home writing blogs for the Daily Kos.”

As opposed to being an attractive gay woman? Why are so many right-wingers hung-up/psychotic about her sexual orientation? Unsure of their own?

“Did you hear her comment last night? She said that on congressman was waiting in the aisle “locked and loaded” waiting to see Obama. Isn’t that hate speech?”

She didn’t know your sensibilities were so delicate. There-there, now.

You don’t give a crap when Glenn Blech-h-h fantasizes on-air about killing Micheal Moore but THIS offhand comment raises your skirts?

NORBUTT: “I’m saying that the line-up is INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST, using selective facts and excerpts to manipulate their uninformed and compliant audience.”

Presenting a point of view and justifying it factually and truthfully is not “intellectually dishonest.” Coming to a conclusion without – or in spite of – facts IS dishonest . . . and the Fakes “News” operational model.

It’s also “intellectually dishonest” to baselessly accuse MSNBC viewers of being uninformed and compliant. Liberals, as a group, are perhaps better informed than their more close-minded neocon contemporaries and more accepting of truths, regardless of the source.

“MSNBC always has the lowest ratings, so whatever they are doing there, it is not working, definitely. ”

I’d rather watch a lower-rated but more honest and accurate channel than the neocon lock-steppers on Fakes “News.”

“Always”? Ridiculous.

“Less than 19% of the population are fringe lefties”

Proof? cite?

“Seeing 2012 From My Window says:

‘Magister says:

CNN markets itself as down-the-middle and you may not agree’

So does FOX, so I fail to see your point.”

ANY network can make ANY claim. Objective analysis shows whether those claims are valid. CNN’s claim is far more accurate than Fox’s.

Brian Cluelessham: “Phil Griffin is among the most dishonest and unethical people in a field (journalism) that is known for dishonest, unethical people.”

Are your beloved Fox “journalists” included in your blanket condemnation?

Don’t you hate it when everybody makes blanket statements?

“Dronetek says:

“MSNBC has had great success with its shift to the left,”

They have the worst ratings in cable news, yet you characterize their shift to the left as successful? Spin much?”

Read much? MSNBC has consistently beaten CNN. Hatred has overcome what little common sense you may yet retain.

“The truth” is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. ”

Disagree. Objective facts allow us to attain truths – if we choose to pursue them. I cannot recall any instance in which an MSNBC host deliberately reported inaccurate or untrue facts. Occasional factual errors have been corrected on-air.

By contrast, Fakes “News” routinely lies, distorts and mischaracterizes in pursuit of Rupert Moredreck’s right-wing objectives. Fox viewers who fail to seek out independent or contrarian news sources have no rational basis for accusing other sources of bias, yet persist in doing so.

“[Maddow] doesn’t have the intellectual balls . . . ”

Comparing those mental giants to DOCTOR Rachel Maddow (Ph.D, Oxford, Rhodes scholar) was one of the more foolish right-wing assertions made here. Congratulations . . . I guess. . . .

For all the accusations of bias against MSNBC, I see faint proof. MediaMatters.org has presented VOLUMES of documented proof of bias, lies, distortions and misrepresentations by Fox, Limbaugh and numerous other neocon/right-wing media sources. Go to their website and pick an article at random, read it and check their links . . . unless you approve of right-wing bias, of course.

Addendum: MSNBC is apparently using their ‘Place for Politics” slogan again. I usually catch their audio podcasts rather than their live shows, so I don’t often see the video version, which can feature the “politics” banner.

Nevertheless, TALKING about politics does not require taking sides or making one “political,” per se. Members of both major parties as well as minority parties appear regularly on MSNBC, though Dems are more common.

It seems to me that Wolff is admitting MSNBC wants to destroy Palin because he claims their coverage of her is not driven by business concerns.

MSNBC is the left-wing version of FOX News; Neither are “fair” nor “balanced”. Both are highly entertaining. You are what you are. Don’t shy away from it; embrace it.

I have searched diligently for just the most precise response to Mr. Wolff’s claim that MSNBC “just tells the truth and has no political agenda.” Try as I will, taxing my expansive vocabulary, I can think of only one:\

BULLSH*T

I have a little trouble sorting out your jibberish, but if you’re trying to tell me I need the government to help me make my life happy, you’re wrong. All I need is for the government to perform its assigned duties as prescribed by the Constitution and, otherwise, just stay the hell out of my way.

Sarah Palin success is due to the media. No where in my daily walk would I care about opinions of a person that refuses to be progressive…Sarah is not progressive and shows this nation at it worst and most important will lead those on the edge to give the f to the fin up. I want my nation to be progressive

As far as I am concern I believe some not all just a few within the news media are engaging in misinformation
Sarah is misrepresenting women in Alaska and in America— as emotional Hittites than logical precious beings. Sarah is more willing to follow stupid then to lead stupid away from ignorance.

I do not want to hear anything from Sarah Palin right now. When Sarah gets it.. the world will listen…peace out and moving on up…And oh this man that is now the head of MSNBC programming has hurt reasonable voices and is allowing misery unnecessary into cable news…duels, blood libel, and such low thinking is no longer funny and not important to the progressive audience…that would purchase the products sold after each broadcast…WE DON”T WANT TO HERE from people who do not want to read a book or misread what they read and show the shame of the american educational system inability to teach critical thinking…

MSNBC’s Vice president of prime time programming Bill Wolff does not get progressive —but I will be watching and hoping for better…

Of course she is not a Progressive. She’s pro-American.

Right. MSNBC isn’t political. And there is no gambling in the casino.
