'''MSNBC''' (stylized '''msnbc''', short for Microsoft National Broadcasting Company) is a [[liberal propaganda]] 24-hour cable "news" channel and website aligned with the [[Democratic Party|DemocratParty]] party. Jointly owned Owned by [[Comcast]] and [[General Electric]], 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>httphttps://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 a the creation of NBC news and NBCnews.com. <ref> httphttps://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.

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>httphttps://dailycaller.com/2012/04/05/msnbc-duped-network-runs-satirical-fake-news-from-daily-kos-as-a-real-story/</ref> MSNBC is pro-[[recession]] and job destruction.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvCrGyOVoRk</ref>

== State run Low ratings ==The MSNBC network has perennially had very low ratings. In 2002, the network was regularly beaten in the ratings by [[CNN Headline News]]. The CEO of Microsoft once even admitted that he wouldn't have started MSNBC knowing what he knew later.<ref>http://news.com.com/2100-1023-268073.html</ref> In June 2006, [[CNN]] co-founder Reese Schoenfeld told journalist Don Kaplan that "Everybody compares MSNBC to Fox and CNN - when its real competition is Headline News". Schoenfeld pointed out that the ratings for MSNBC and Headline News are roughly the same, about 300,000 viewers on average and that "by comparison, Fox and CNN regularly average three or four times as many viewers." Kaplan even joked that "the running joke in TV news is Fox and CNN are news channels with websites, but MSNBC is a website with a cable channel".<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/5891</ref> Shock jock Don Imus's radio show ''Imus in the Morning'' was simulcast on MSNBC for over ten years. During this time, the program become well known for displaying offensive commentary. However, MSNBC continued to support the show. In April 2007, the network sparked outrage when during a broadcast of ''Imus in the Morning'', Don Imus and another MSNBC staff member made remarks about the Rutgers University women's basketball team, considered to be both racist and sexist. Initially, MSNBC refused to cancel the show. After sponsors started withdrawing their advertisements from the show, MSNBC canceled the simulcast of ''Imus in the Morning''. During the national emergency over the Chinese [[COVID-19]] [[pandemic]], while thousands were being diagnosed and hundreds dying daily from the deadly disease, MSNBC refused to carry public information programming alerting the public to the danger with precautionary instructions on prevention and transmission of the deadly virus.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/white-house-slams-cnn-msnbc-for-cutting-away-from-trumps-coronavirus-briefing/</ref> In so doing, MSNBC has also become a blatant and willing propaganda vector and apologist for the [[Chinese Communist Party]] in its COVID-19 coverage,<ref>[https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/04/08/msnbc-contributor-says-trumps-crime-cult-wants-mass-murder-many-more-to-die-906185 MSNBC contributor says Trump’s ‘crime cult’ wants mass murder, ‘many more to die’]</ref> while one of its correspondents, liberal author Sarah Kendzior, put her [[TDS]] on public display by libeling the [[Trump administration]] and engaging in [[liberal projection|projection]] (by calling it a "crime cult", a descriptor actually more befitting of the Democrat Party based on its history) and by falsely accusing it of "...(wanting) people to die, and they want many more to die"<ref>[https://twitter.com/sarahkendzior/status/1247260550830137344 Sarah Kendizor: "So the media focus on the proposed drug instead of the cold reality -- which is that the Trump crime cult wanted people to die, and they want many more to die"] at Twitter</ref> (which actually describes the behavior of various Democrat state governors and city mayors, particularly including New York governor [[Andrew Cuomo]]<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/cuomo-administration-rejected-purchasing-additional-ventilators-in-2015-for-pandemic-preparedness-based-on-funding/ Cuomo Administration Rejected Purchasing Additional Ventilators in 2015 for Pandemic Preparedness Based on Funding - Recommended System on Who Would Not Receive Treatment] at the Gateway Pundit</ref><ref>[https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2020/04/01/dr-oz-slams-ny-gov-cuomo-people-need-access-to-chloroquine-n2566184 Dr. Oz Slams NY Gov.

In reality, they are Democrat-aligned to the point that they are were perceived as the press Secretary for the [[Obama Administration]]. On several occasions, Obama Administration officials have stated their public support for MSNBC.

== Low ratings ==The MSNBC network has perennially had very low ratings. In 2002, recently canceled some shows including the network was regularly beaten in the ratings by [[CNN Headline News]]. The CEO of Microsoft once even admitted that he wouldnlongtime ''t have started MSNBC knowing what he knew later.<ref>http://news.com.com/2100-1023-268073.html</ref> In June of 2006, [[CNN]] co-founder Reese Schoenfeld told journalist Don Kaplan that "Everybody compares MSNBC Ed Show'' featuring Ed Schultz to Fox and CNN - when its real competition is Headline Newsfavor ".

Kaplan even joked that journalism"the running joke in TV news is Fox and CNN are news channels with websites, but MSNBC it is a website with PR move as the network still features a cable channel".<ref>http://newsbustersheavy leftist slant.org/node/5891</ref>

Shock jock Don Imus's radio show ''Imus in the Morning'' was simulcast on MSNBC for over ten years. During this time, the program become well-known for displaying offensive commentary. However, MSNBC continued to support the show. In April of 2007, the network sparked outrage when When Democrat [[2020 presidential election]] frontrunner [[Joe Biden]] cursed at and threatened a blue collar [[labor union]] member and traditional Democrat voter during a broadcast of ''Imus in the Morning''Michigan primary, Don Imus and another MSNBC staff member made remarks about the Rutgers University womenselectively edited out Biden's basketball team, considered to be both racist [[bullying]] and sexisterratic behavior toward [[working class]] people.

== Liberal bias =DNC handmaid===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 biased reporting. Among the networks network's daily lineup, liberals include Matthews, [[Ed Schultz]], [[Rachel Maddow]], [[Melissa Harris-Perry]], [[Lawrence O'Donnell]], and [[Chris Hayes]]. [[Joe Scarborough]], a moderate liberal-leaning RINO Republican who was a member of the United States House of Representatives from Florida, is purported to be the sole conservative voice with a show on the network. Having several liberals and one conservative RINO is clearly not balanced.

The [[left-wing]] advocacy group Media Matters for America<ref> [http://mediamatters.org/ Media Matters for America homepage] www.mediamatters.org</ref> has criticized the MSNBC's commitment to promoting a left-wing agenda since the channel has had shows hosted by [[Libertarian|left-libertarian]] [[Tucker Carlson]] and former moderate [[Republican]] Congressman [[Joe Scarborough]]. Ironically, on August 16, 2007 , Scarborough revealed an incident in which people in the MSNBC newsroom ceaselessly booed [[President of the United States|President]] [[George W. Bush|Bush]] during a State of the Union address.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/14899/print</ref>

On November 5, 2007, the ''[[New York Times]]'' reported that the cable news channel was in serious discussions with [[Rosie O'Donnell]] to have a prime-time show on the network. Under one scenario, O'Donnell would be given the 9 p.m. slot where she would compete with ''Larry King Live'' on [[CNN]] and ''Hannity & Colmes'' on the [[Fox News Channel]]. Her show would replace ''Live with Dan Abrams'', a low-rated program that only recently replaced ''Scarborough Country''.<ref>httphttps://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/05/business/media/05cnd-msnbc.html?_r=1&oref=slogin</ref> The deal later fell through as O'Donnell leaked information about the agreement without MSNBC's permission.

Later in November of 2007, the president of MSNBC, Phil Griffin, flat out admitted that the network has a left-wing liberal bias. In a ''New York Times'' article, he said that "it happened naturally" and that "there is a Go for it" mentality when it comes to pushing the liberal agenda among the MSNBC staff.<ref>httphttps://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/06/business/media/06msnb.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin</ref>

Continuing its offensive against the [[Bush administration]] and its reposition as a left-wing "news" outlet, in December of 2007, the network ran a series titled ''Bush League Justice'' with the explicit purpose of attacking the [[United States Department of Justice|U.S. Justice Department]] under the presidency of [[George W. Bush]].

In October 2010, MSNBC has publicly acknowleged acknowledged its liberalism in October 2010 while launching a marketing campaign with the tagline "Lean Forward," <ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39507182/ns/business-media_biz/</ref> <ref>httphttps://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/05/business/media/05adco.html?_r=1</ref> <ref>http://theweek.com/article/index/207856/msnbcs-new-slogan-what-does-it-even-mean</ref> <ref>httphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkinYM4EPy0</ref> following several years in which many observers noted a leftward shift in the channel's programming .<ref>httphttps://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/30/study-nbc-news-doesnt-fol_n_139162.html</ref> <ref>httphttps://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/08/AR2008090800008_pf.html</ref> <ref>httphttps://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/08/business/media/08msnbc.html?pagewanted=print</ref>. As a result, NBC Universal and Microsoft is considering changing the name of the less partisan msnbc.com, a separate news company, to prevent confusion with the liberal TV network, MSNBC .<ref>httphttps://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/07/business/media/07msnbc.html</ref>. Some of the NBC News correspondents and producers, who attempt to be straightforward reporters, say they are embarrassed to be associated with the liberal cable outlet and fear being “tainted” by association with it .<ref>http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=39332</ref>. The situation became more apparent when NBC News decided to keep Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw away from MSNBC during the November 2, 2010 midterm election coverage .<ref>http://mediaconfidential.blogspot.com/2010/10/nbc-news-separates-itself-from-partisan.html</ref>.

In July 2013, former MSNBC senior producer Jeff Cohen attacked MSNBC for being what he called the “official network of the [[Obama]] White House.” <ref> httphttps://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/08/former-producer-rips-msnbc-as-obamas-official-network</ref>
