Agreed, the MSNBC lot is left leaning, obvious.
They do not call themselves "News", however. Neither do Bill-O or Beck, those are OPINION shows, not NEWS shows. Mattews and Olberman are also OPINION shows.
Too often people can't seem to tell the difference and believe whatever their favorite pundit says to be gospel.
A NEWS show is a venue to relay the news of the day, vs. opining upon it.
All real journalists know this and those that can't help themselves buy air time. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the viewers understand so too.
