All these shows take events from news and spin to the left or spin to the right and half heartedly counterbalance their thrust with some opposing views a lot of the time.
I don't for a moment consider Matthews, Madow, Olberman, O'Rielly, Hannity&Colmes, AC 360, Greta, or Campbell Brown to be straight up news shows. Some are less opinionated than others, but they are all video OP-ED pieces IMO. (After all, few read real newspapers any more, no?)

When Matthews takes pains to call himself a "journalist" I pay attention.
If he was just the counterpart to Limbaugh, or Hannity, I would not care. At least Liumbaugh and Hannity, as well as most talking heads on the right, openly admit that they are not journalists.
