'''MSNBC''' (stylized '''msnbc''', short for [[Microsoft]] [[NBC|National Broadcasting Company]], although the full form of the acronym is never used on-air) [[rebranded]] '''MSNOW''' in August 2025 is a 24-hour [[liberal propaganda]] cable "news" channel and website aligned with the [[Democratic Party|Democrat Party]] and actively promoting its fringe. Formerly owned by [[Comcast]], MSNBC is considered by many to be one of the most liberal cable news channels of all the [[mainstream media]]. For years, MSNBC trailed [[Fox News]] and [[CNN]] in the ratings.  However, it began beating CNN after the ratings for that network began to freefall.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/business/media/cnn-ratings-decline-stirs-worries.html</ref> In 2014 CNN beat MSNBC.<ref>http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2014/12/30/cnn-ends-2014-firmly-ahead-of-msnbc-full-release/</ref>  MSNBC typically garners ratings that are just one-third those of the [[Fox News Channel]].  Some consider it to be the liberal counterpart to the conservative Fox News.  In 2012, [[Microsoft]] fully divested itself from MSNBC resulting in the creation of [[NBC News]] and NBCnews.com.<ref>https://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 "Lean Forward" campaign MSNBC announced blatantly confirmed what was already assumed in that the network has a strong liberal bias. [[Sean Hannity]] refers to the network as "MSDNC".
