== Liberal Bias ==
MSNBC has been criticized regarding the channel's [[liberal]] slant. The media watchdog group the Media Research Center<ref> [http://www.mediaresearch.org/about/aboutwelcome.asp About Media Research Center] www.mediaresearch.org</ref> has cited MSNBC shows by [[Keith Olbermann]], [[Dan Abrams]] and [[Chris Matthews]] in its criticism of the network's bias reporting. Among the networks daily lineup, liberals include Matthews, [[Ed Schultz]], [[Rachel Maddow]], [[Melissa Harris-Perry]], [[Lawrence O'Donnell]], and [[Chris Hayes]]. [[Joe Scarborough]], a moderate republican, is the sole conservative voice with a show on the network. Having several liberals and one conservative is clearly not balanced.
