Study:MSNBC Coverage Almost Entirely Opinionated, Fox News Has More Factual Reporting

If you get drunk and watch Hannity, it makes a lot of sense.

Hahaha, c'mon. I'm not stupid. You cited the same chart I just posted. It says 55/45 for Fox News on opinion vs. fact.

The other thing is, opinion news isn't bad. In fact, I like opinion news better because it involves debate and discussion and gets you to think about the issues. However, the majority of Americans who are moderate or on the Left tend to believe the lie that Fox News is THE station that is biased and opinionated while MSNBC/CNN get a pass as objective, unbiased news with little opinion.

Fox has a good balance of opinion and factual reporting. However, I would note that Fox tends to always have a Leftist defend the other side on all the shows whereas MSNBC just gets to rant and rail against the Right unchallenged. MSNBC has one Conservative, S.E. Cupp and they never let her speak, she's just drowned out by the other 4 numbskulls on The Cycle. Fox News has lots of Liberal contributors, Juan Williams, Kyrsten Powers, Darrel Williams, Dennis Kucinich, etc. plus all the large number of guests from the Left.

MSNBC has a 3 hour morning show hosted by a conservative. Which show on Fox would offset that? Where are the 3 hours of programming hosted by a liberal on Fox?
 
At first glance it looks like Pew made some ridiculous conclusions on what is opinion and what is news. And of course the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks distorted the conclusions even more....

Do you know the difference between a "reporter" and a "commentator"?
A journalist and a columnist?

The MAJOR fraud perpetuated by the MSM is they pretend they aren't biased but their output is totally biased!
Please explain why 85% of ABC,CBS and NBC network employees gave to Democrats?
Do you think these donors are stupidly throwing their money away by NOT advancing Obama/Democrat agenda in their news?
Would you please refute these FACTS as the bias from the MSM.

News Media Bias

I do understand the difference between reporter and commentator. Do you understand the two can be conflated.

But the question is does Pew understand the difference?
 
News reporting is easily made politically biased simply by behind the scenes editorial decisions on which stories you report. If for example you have ten 'factual' news stories in front of you, and five reflect badly on Democrats, five badly on Republicans,

and you decide to air only the five about the Democrats, you've injected bias into your reporting without expressing a single on-air opinion.

That is one reason why the Pew study isn't really meaningful.
 
I rest my case.

Yo.................Sloppy Jerkoff......................why is it that FAUX Nooze has been caught making a lot of mistakes?

Wanna talk about how well FAUX Nooze and Dick Morris were when it came to the elections?
You seem preoccupied with jerking off. Got a problem in that area?

When you don't leave your parents basement, I guess you have nothing else to do. Just read his post. Lol
 
so three days right before the sequester mess makes everything all fair huh?
 
So according to the OP, the best source of cable news, among the big three, is CNN.

So watch CNN and quit complaining.

CNN is operated by the CIA idiot. They've been caught putting out fake news. I'd rather watch a Bill O'Reilly rant over CIA psych warfare programming.

"True to its motto, MSNBC has been leaning forward. To the point that its opinionated programming far outweighs its “factual reporting,” according to a new Pew study. While Fox News, too, had more opinionated programming, the network had a much smaller discrepancy between opinion and straight reporting.

The study — which came as part of Pew Research Center’s annual “State of the Media” report — states that opinionated programming comprised 85 percent of MSNBC’s airtime (versus 15 percent of “factual reporting”). Meanwhile, Fox News had opinion 55 percent of the time, with 45 percent straight news."

Tee hee. Do you understand the difference between Propaganda and Op-Ed? MSNBC (Now, NBC) is opinion most of the time. The opinions are 'out there' there, not slipped into 'reporting' as is the case in most of Fox programming.

BTW, and I know this is nit picking, there are no Liberals in the United States, except those registered in New York State in the Liberal Party there; liberal, small "l" denotes someone's ideology, as does conservative (small "c"). However both have become vague and ambiguous terms with little common understanding of their meaning.

A Liberal would be a member of a Liberal Party.

Dennis Kucinich (D), for example, isn't a liberal by any stretch of the word, he's little different than Rand and Ron Paul (R's both) - all three are on the fringe of their political parties and as such meet in the idiot fringe. Most Americans reject the majority of their ideas as dogmatic and impractical.
