Allow me to preface this thread with this. I am no fan of MSNBC and I view them in the same light as Fox News. Except for one thing, which is pointed out below, open debate. So I am offering up the same challenge to those of you in the Soapbox:

Please find that clip from Hannity, or The O'Reilly Factor, or Glenn Beck or Fox & Friends, where the Fox News anchor turns to a GOP-friendly guest and chastises him/him for being too pro-Republican all the time.

Breitbart's Big Journalism proves our point about MSNBCOctober 07, 2010 10:25 am ET by Eric Boehlert

The point is this: MSNBC is not just like Fox News. It's not the partisan opposite of Rupert Murdoch's propaganda outlet, simply because MSNBC regularly features open debate, whereas Fox News does not.

Oddly enough, that point is proven by Andrew Breitbart's anti-MSNBC site Big Journalism, which posted a recent clip of MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews getting frustrated with a liberal guest and angrily accusing him of defending "every single Democratic candidate."

That's great. But the clip only proves the point we've been making for a long time: MSNBC is not the Democratic equivalent of Fox News because MSNBC, as highlighted by the Matthews clip, doesn't operate as some sort of robotic arm of a political party. MSNBC does not program its broadcast day around simply attacking one political party while blindly supporting the other.

And yes, thank you Breitbart bloggers for pointing that out.

As for conservatives who still insist MSNBC is the Democratic version of Fox News, here's your challenge: Please go find the clip from within the last year that captures a Fox News host flashing anger and berating a guest for supporting every Republican candidate.

Please find that clip from Hannity, or The O'Reilly Factor, or Glenn Beck or Fox & Friends, where the Fox News anchor turns to a GOP-friendly guest and chastises him/him for being too pro-Republican all the time.

Good luck with that search. And yeah, we'll wait....

Witness you really don't watch Fox News right? I think you just rely on Media Matters to tell you about Fox. The fact is that all those shows you listed on Fox News HAVE liberals as guests to give their side. On MSNBC you have Keith Olberman who rarely if EVER has had a conservative on his show to debate him.
Here is one that took all of 10 seconds on google search.

Yeah, one little moment of frustration by Chris Matthews does not absolve MSNBC of the blatant bias throughout its programming day. Not even close. The "open debate" to be found on MSNBC is hardly open. Sure, opposing viewpoints get aired, and then more often than not are quickly dismissed by the host or by someone else on the panel. I should add that the same thing happens on Fox and most other new outlets. They're all the same.
