[[File:April 2nd MSNBC.png|framed|right]]

'''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. 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".

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>https://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>

MSNBC is blatantly [[Communist]]. One of their anchors, [[Melissa Harris-Perry]], was featured in an MSNBC promotional video explaining that children "belong to whole communities" instead of their parents.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/04/09/critics-slam-msnbc-hosts-claim-that-kids-belong-to-community-not-parents/</ref> The promo is part of the Marxist "Forward" (MSNBC refers to it as "Lean Forward") campaign that has been going on since the late 19th century.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/apr/30/new-obama-slogan-has-long-ties-marxism-socialism/</ref> MSNBC commentator and [[holocaust denier]] [[Michael McFaul]] praised [[Hitler]] to manufacture consent for [[NATO]] intervention into the [[Russia-Ukraine war]].<ref>https://youtu.be/L5j1qQb-Ch0</ref>

MSNBC adopted the slogan "lean forward" which appears onscreen, which proves that the network decided to stop hiding their blatant liberal and Communist bias from viewers.

In April 2022, after [[Jen Psaki]] was booted from the [[White House]] press briefing podium for lack of credibility, MSNBC promptly hired her.<ref>https://www.emilypostnews.com/p/jen-psaki-circles-back-to-msnbc</ref>

==Who owns MSNBC==

==Incite to violence==

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross used the MSNBC platform to foment [[violence]] during an interview with state Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) on January 22, 2022 when she told Democrats to “pick up a weapon and get involved” in the “war” for the survival of the country.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/01/25/msnbc-host-suggests-leftists-pick-up-a-weapon-and-get-involved-in-war-for-the-country-1192997/</ref>

==Theories==

In 2017, political contributor on MSNBC for five years, stated "The U.S. Was Founded on the Backbone of Racism."

{{Cquote|Saturday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” “DecodeDC” podcast host Jimmy Williams touched on Alabama Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones’ prosecution of two of the men behind the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham as a U.S. attorney.

===The MSNBC – White House connection===

During coverage of the Gulf Oil Spill, Democrat party [[apparatchik]] Mika Brzezinski, who is also an anchor of the MSNBC show ''[[Morning Joe]]'', worked with the White House to distribute propaganda falsely claiming that Obama was doing an effective job managing the problem. Brzezinski, who is the daughter of NSA Zbigniew Brzezinski from the failed Carter administration, admitted on the air that "I have a file that I've been working on with the White House."<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2010/06/21/mika-admits-im-working-white-house-oil-spill-talking-points#ixzz2PpmYB7O3</ref>

===2020 fake news and election interference===

[[File:Psaki commie.png|right|275px|thumb|Soviet propagandist Jen Psaki was hired by MSNBC in April 2022.]]

In July 2020 MSNBC producer Ariana Pekary quit, calling the network fake news and a cancer that risks human lives, even in the middle of a pandemic. Pekary said President Trump became the primary focus of the [[coronavirus]] coverage instead of “science itself.” “As new details have become available about antibodies, a vaccine, or how COVID actually spreads, producers still want to focus on the politics. Important facts or studies get buried,” she wrote in her resignation letter.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/08/04/msnbc-producer-calls-network-a-cancer-after-quitting-job/</ref>

MSNBC called the [[Waukesha Christmas parade massacre]] an "accident", rather than a racially motivated domestic terror attack by a black nationalist and [[BLM]] supporter.<ref>https://twitter.com/DrewHLive/status/1463529916717096965</ref>

===Racism===

MSNBC programmers and interviewers routinely insult [[conservative]] [[African American]]s.<ref>https://voteclaver.com/news/msnbc-attacks-black-texas-republican-apostle-claver-for-calling-democrats-racist-and-party-of-the-kkk/</ref><ref>https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/black-democrat-msnbc-question-vernon-jones</ref> A commentator said in a review of MSNBC host Tiffany Cross attack on Sen' [[Tim Scott]]:

In November 2022 the network took the unprecedented step of firing one of its racist anchors, Tiffany Cross.<ref>https://therightscoop.com/breaking-tiffany-cross-fired-from-msnbc/</ref>

The media outlet has used racist [[dogwhistle]]s to attack [[Florida]] Republican senator [[Marco Rubio]].<ref>Martel, Frances (November 13, 2015).

===Bigot: Mehdi Hassan===

[[Mehdi Hasan|Mehdi Hassan]] is a devout Muslim, [[jihad]] apologetic and with a history of anti-Semitism.<ref>Adam Kredo, "[https://freebeacon.com/politics/huffpos-house-jihadi/ HuffPo’s House Jihadi]", Washington Free Beacon, May 22, 2012.<blockquote>

A devout Muslim who has praised Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and publicly branded all non-believers as mentally ill "animals" was recently hired to serve as the Huffington Post’s political director in the U.K.

Mehdi Hasan, a controversial British media figure whom insiders have billed as a mouthpiece for the Iranian regime, recently left his job at the left-wing New Statesman magazine to join the Huffington Post as a senior staffer, according to reports in the British press.</blockquote></ref>

<blockquote>Mehdi Hasan is a hate-filled far-Left MSNBC host who espouses fashionable Big Lies such as the claim that “white supremacy is now a key ideology of the Republican Party” and “the far-right domestic terror threat is more dangerous than even Al Qaeda after 9/11.” During the Whoopi Goldberg controversy, remarks that Hasan made in 2009 resurfaced, leading many to question why Hasan’s star has consistently risen in the Leftist media, despite his manifest hatred and contempt for non-Muslims.

Hasan, a Shi’ite, said of the early Sunni caliph Yazid: “All of these ulama unanimously agree that at the very minimum if Yazid was not a Kaffir [unbeliever] — then at the very minimum he was a fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer, a drunkard, a dog lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a pedophile, a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother.”</blockquote>

Not surprisingly, Islamic bigot, Mehdi Hasan’s defended anti-Semitic hate speech at [[CUNY]] by an Islamist student Fatima Mohammed in 2023, via 'deceitful defense of an Antisemitic screed.'<ref>David Litman, [https://www.camera.org/article/mehdi-hasans-pathetic-defense-of-an-antisemitic-screed/ Mehdi Hasan’s Deceitful Defense of an Antisemitic Screed], ''CAMERA'', June 7, 2023.<blockquote>

No reasonable observer would ever accuse Mehdi Hasan of providing thoughtful, balanced, and insightful discussions on the newsworthy subjects of the day, especially when the subject has anything to do with Jews. On June 4th, that happened to be the antisemitic screed at the City University of New York School of Law’s commencement ceremony, in which the speaker, Fatima Mohammed, called on her audience to use their rage to “fight against…Zionism around the world” and railed against “investors.” The speech was widely criticized and condemned by Jewish groups, university officials, and political leaders.

Once again upholding his reputation, the MSNBC host rode to Mohammed’s defense. The result was nine minutes of Hasan and his guests enthusiastically embracing willful blindness, legal nonsense, and material omissions.

Let’s start with the legal nonsense...</blockquote></ref>

In the wake of fascistic "Palestinian" ([[Hamas]] / [[PIJ]] etc.) atrocities Oct/2023: massacres, beheading of babies, gunning down youths, mass rape while laughing, abducting women and children, the elderly, the disabled, parading them towards cheers of thousands of other racist Arabs in Gaza (which led to [[Swords of Iron]]), as a good Islamist, Mehdi Hassan blamed the victim.

[[File:Mehdi Hasan- non-Muslims are animals.jpg|thumb|Mehdi Hasan- non-Muslims are animals]]

At the end of Nov 2023, MSNBC canceled Mehdi Hasan's show in major shakeup of its weekend lineup:

* The Islamist "far-left" host has criticized Israel's war on Hamas and his once (at the age of 30) compared non-Muslims to 'animals' and homosexuals to 'pedophiles' - resurfaced. (At the time of his "apology" which came a decade later, he still has been regularly speaking 'on platforms alongside Islamist clerics who incite hatred against minorities.'<ref>[https://www.meforum.org/61616/nbc-hires-islamist-linked-journalist NBC Hires Islamist-Linked Journalist with a History of Hate], ''Middle East Forum'', Oct 5, 2020.<blockquote>Hasan has also appeared to despair over Muslims "losing battles" against the Jews, whom, he warned, had "out-thought" Muslims.

Welcomingly, in 2019, Hasan apologized his past comments. Although he must have been around 30 years old when he expressed his hatred for non-Muslims, atheists and homosexuals, he attributed his bile to the folly of youth.

He perhaps elicits less sympathy upon accompanying his apology with a complaint that his previous hatreds have been used to "smear" him as an "extremist." Well, indeed.

And yet Hasan's behavior since his "apology" does not fit the pattern of a man who has left his extremism behind. He continues to regularly speak on platforms alongside Islamist clerics who incite hatred against minorities.

Hasan's behavior does not fit the pattern of a man who has left his extremism behind.

Last November, for example, Hasan was happy to share a stage with Dawud Walid, who preaches about the evils[sic] of Jews. A few months earlier, Hasan moderated a debate at a conference with Hatem Bazian, who has complained about Jews in "control" of universities and was censured by his employer for tweeting anti-Semitic cartoons.

The conference, hosted by the Islamic Society of North America, also featured dozens of the most extreme clerics in America, such as Hussain Kamani, who claims that Muslim men may fulfil any sexual desires "with a female slave that belongs to him." When Muslim husbands are learning to "train their wives," beating them, Kamani concedes, should only be a "last measure."

Hasan's regular appearances at Islamist events are cause for concern.

Is Hasan not merely a Muslim journalist, but an Islamist activist? Certainly, his speeches in the past suggest some Islamist leanings. And his regular appearances at Islamist events, as well as his long-standing employment by Al Jazeera, the key media arm of the despotic, terror-financing Qatari regime, are cause for concern.

Hasan has also appeared [https://web.archive.org/web/20090730063824/https://hurryupharry.org/2009/07/27/mehdi-hasan-part-ii-muslims-and-non-muslims/] to despair over Muslims "losing battles" against the Jews, whom, he warned, had "out-thought" Muslims.

* Ahead of the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, Mehdi Hasan spent time highlighting how the United States "helped produce that other 9/11," referring to a military coup in Chile 50 years ago.

* At [[Swords of Iron]], on Nov 17, 2023, Mark Regev scolded Hasan for not informing viewers that Hamas controls the Gaza Health Ministry, which has been putting out statistics related to how many people have been killed. Mehdi Hasan refused to say that.

The British-American host has been one of Israel’s most vociferous critics on cable television], ''JNS'', January 8, 2024.<blockquote>

The cable-TV news network MSNBC canceled “The Medi Hasan Show” in November in the early months of Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. As of Sunday, the popular program host has decided to step away from the station.

He announced his plans in a video, saying: “Tonight is not just my final episode of the ‘Mehdi Hasan Show,’ it’s my last day with MSNBC. Yes, I’ve decided to leave.”

The now-former MSNBC contributor has long been a harsh critic of Israel. He has called non-Muslims “animals.” [https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-cancels-far-left-host-mehdi-hasans-program].

“You cannot kill your way to victory over a foreign, occupied people,” Hasan wrote on Nov. 9. “My ‘Mehdi Hasan Show’ commentary on how Israel’s killing of innocents in Gaza only strengthens Hamas and its recruiting efforts—as America discovered the hard way in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

“Ever since 9/11, we have just taken it for granted that certain countries can send drones or bombs into foreign sovereign countries, across national borders, to kill people they’ve decided, without an arrest or trial, are guilty of crimes,” Hasan wrote on Jan. 2. “But most other countries can’t do this.”

StopAntisemitism wrote that “Qatari mouthpiece and anti-Israel propaganda machine Mehdi Hasan leaves MSNBC after the network dumps his show.”

Hasan previously worked as an anchor for Al Jazeera and as a podcaster at the left-wing website The Intercept.</blockquote>

Hasan previously apologized for recently resurfaced remarks], ''Fox News'', November 28, 2023.

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan has been one of the strongest critics of Israel in the mainstream media during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, but it's nothing new for the hard-left anchor who has never been shy about offering strident commentary.

During the conflict, he has consistently voiced hostility toward Israel, which he has long opposed as an "illegal[sic]" occupying[sic] power of Palestinians.

While with The Intercept, he frequently blistered the country, blaming it for the rise of Hamas in the first place and defending the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against its critics...

Inflammatory remarks he made in 2009 before becoming an MSNBC personality began circulating online again, when he compared non-Muslims to "animals" and linked homosexuals to "pedophiles" and "sexual deviants." New York Post reporter Jon Levine said it's "hard to imagine MSNBC allowing someone on television who said similar things about a different religion."

"We know that keeping the moral high ground is key. Once we lose the moral high ground, we are no different from the rest of the non-Muslims, from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfill any desire," Hasan said in one of the unearthed clips.

In 2019, Hasan apologized for those comments, calling them "dumb offensive ranty stuff" and admitted that he said "extreme-sounding things" as a young man...

But his controversial comments didn't end there. In 2021, Hasan rushed to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who suggested the U.S. and Israel were just as guilty of "war crimes[sic]" as terrorist groups like Hamas and the Taliban.

"Look, Americans get very upset when our nation is accused of war crimes, but I'm sorry to break this to you, our nation has done some pretty awful things abroad, and we have to be able to talk about them," Hasan wrote at the time.

Hasan began the ordeal by criticizing Bill Maher for his comments about crime in Chicago. By Alexander Hall, Fox News, May 1, 2023])

During the 2019 uproar over Omar's antisemitic rhetoric, Hasan downplayed the controversy, saying the Democratic lawmaker "maybe unwittingly echoed tropes" but directed most of his ire at then-President Trump and Republicans as well as the media's coverage of her comments.

"She hasn’t said anything about Jews. She has not said one word about Jews," Hasan argued, then an MSNBC guest. "She talked about supporters of Israel insisting that politicians in the U.S. should show allegiance to Israel and that’s kind of undeniable. I mean, that’s been reported on for years… A lot of the good-faith criticism is based on kind of misreporting of what she’s said and done."

He also compared past Israeli airstrikes against Hamas in Gaza to Russia bombing Ukraine in March 2022 in the early weeks of the ongoing European war.

It's not just his commentary on Israel and Islam that has raised eyebrows. His own journalistic credibility was drawn into question earlier this year when he was accused of plagiarizing a piece arguing in favor of parents spanking their children.

Hasan, who worked at Al Jazeera before joining MSNBC, recently held a combative interview with Israeli advisor Mark Regev. On November 16, prior to Israel and Hamas reaching a deal to free some of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, Hasan accused Israel of turning down a similar deal.

"Sorry, Mehdi, that’s just disinformation. There was not a real option for a deal before the grand operation. It was looked at seriously but Hamas put nothing on the table that could be worked with and so that’s just not correct to say there was an option," Regev said before noting that a deal could still be worked out because military pressure was "making Hamas understand" they need to release hostages.

Regev then scolded Hasan for not informing viewers that Hamas controls the Gaza Health Ministry, which has been putting out statistics related to how many people have been killed during the war.

"You have to say the ‘Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry," Regev said before Hasan shot back, "You can say that, I don’t have to say what you ask me to say."

"Please, tell the viewers the truth, that information is provided by Hamas," Regev said.

Hasan also accused the Israeli government of k... children and of spreading propaganda and false information during the tense exchange.

Hasan has condemned the brutality of the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 and scolded opponents of Israel who downplay or ignore the group's atrocities from that day, writing on X last month, "Too many people on this hellsite and elsewhere have weirdly & cruelly decided that opposing Israel’s war in Gaza requires them to try & deny the sheer scale of Hamas brutality on Oct 7th. It doesn’t."

Hasan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

===Erred "knowledge" on the Middle East===

In 2015, MSNBC's showed its lack of basic knowledge, when it aired a silly propaganda "map" of a supposed ‘land loss’ for Arab-[[Palestinian]]s. Obviously, it shows no such thing.

'Rachel Maddow Show' deletes segment of guest after he was criticized by Auschwitz Memorial for claiming Putin more of a killer than Hitler.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show account on Twitter was forced to delete a segment of a guest comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler after it was fact-checked by the Auschwitz Memorial.

Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum Replying to @MaddowBlog:

On a factual note: Hitler did kill ethnic Germans & German-speaking people: those who opposed the Nazi regime, those who resisted, those who did not fit into the 'Weltanschauung'. He ordered the murder of people with different disabilities & finally the murder of German Jewry.

By late Saturday, the show had taken down the post, and issued a correction emphasizing that contrary to what McFaul asserted, Hitler did indeed kill "millions of Germans."</blockquote></ref> On a factual note: Hitler did kill ethnic Germans & German-speaking people: those who opposed the Nazi regime, those who resisted, those who did not fit into the 'Weltanschauung'.

The only people Kamala Harris has managed to bully lately have been members of her own staff.

But an MSNBC analyst tried this morning to paint Harris as a tough prosecutor who intimidated Russian dictator Vladimir Putin with her remarks in Poland earlier this week.

Appearing on The Cross Connection hosted by Tiffany Cross on Saturday, MSNBC analyst Errin Haines said:

"Yet another piece of her lived experience that she really brings to this role as Vice President in this moment of crisis, and that is her role as prosecutor, right? This is somebody who is used to kind of taking on bad guys for a living. And so, her really putting her finger in the chest of Vladimir Putin and saying that there will be consequences."</blockquote></ref>

An MSNBC op-ed is getting viciously slammed online for claiming that fitness has been co-opted by the far-right, and that working out is “central” to fascism.

Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a professor at American University studying polarization and extremism, wrote that the far-right has taken advantage of the pandemic trend of at-home fitness to further expand its radicalization efforts. She cited research on alleged “fascist fitness” chats where young men are lured into communities to discuss fitness only to be inundated with fascist messaging later on.</blockquote></ref> In fact, the [[Talmud]] is for witness, as prominent Talmudist Maimonides (1138-1204) urges to make exercise.<ref>[https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/910344/jewish/Deot-Chapter-Four.htm De'ot - Chapter Four], By Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon ("Maimonides"); translated by Eliyahu Touger</ref> That one: <blockquote>should work or exert himself in some other way.

On Monday, during an interview with failed New York City Mayoral candidate Maya Wiley, the MSNBC host made a comparison between Senate Republicans opposing Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson and past segregationists, the Dixiecrats.

"Do you think ultimately, the history books, do you think they’ll even care that they’ll come down on the Dixiecrat side of history here?" Reid asked before reiterated her Dixiecrat comparison on Twitter.</blockquote></ref>

Back in 2019, Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar issued an apology to the Jewish community.

“Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of antisemitic tropes,” she said. “My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.”

The congresswoman released the statement after she posted a tweet that suggested US politicians are paid by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to support Israel.

Referencing US founding father Benjamin Franklin, whose face adorns the $100 bill, Omar posted that it was “all about the Benjamins baby” in reference to the lobbying group’s allegedly boundless influence on lawmakers.

Within hours of the tweet, the then-Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the entirety of the Democrat leadership condemned the tweet in what was labeled an “extraordinary rebuke” by media outlets reporting on the troubling incident...

MSNBC’s Ja’han Jones characterized the episode as a storm that was whipped up by “right-wing hatemongers” in a recent article..</blockquote></ref>
