'''MSNBC''' (stylized '''msnbc''', short for [[Microsoft]] [[NBC|National Broadcasting Company]], although the full form of the acronym is never used on-air) is a 24-hour [[liberal propaganda]] cable "news" channel and website aligned with the [[Democratic Party|Democrat Party]] and actively promoting its fringe. 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.
