'''MSNBC''' was a [[liberal propaganda]] 24-hour cable "news" channel and website aligned with the [[Democrat]] party. Jointly owned by [[Comcast]] and [[General Electric]], MSNBC was considered by many to be one of the most liberal cable news channels of all the [[mainstream media]]. It is the lowest rated of the other two major cable news channels: [[Fox News]] and [[CNN]]. It typically garners ratings that are just one-third those of the [[Fox News Channel]], and half of CNN. Some consider it to be the liberal counterpart to the conservative Fox News.  In 2012, Microsoft fully divested itself from MSNBC resulting in a the creation of NBC news and NBCnews.com. <ref> http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-16/msnbc-website-renamed-nbcnews-com-after-microsoft-split.html </ref>  It is possible Microsoft divested due to MSNBC's [[liberal hypocrisy]] since they opined that "we wanted to show different perspectives."

The ''Daily Caller'' observed that MSNBC "might be trying a little too hard to push" its agenda: "MSNBC duped: Network runs satirical fake news," and that wasn't the first time.<ref>http://dailycaller.com/2012/04/05/msnbc-duped-network-runs-satirical-fake-news-from-daily-kos-as-a-real-story/</ref>
