87. I downgraded my service on November 9th, so I don't receive any of them, but as far as MSNBC is

concerned, they are a wolf in sheep clothing

The first network to report as breaking news that the "FBI had reopened the email investigation" was MSNBC. That was a LIE. For the next hour MSNBC then paraded every right wing politician across their screen to propagate that lie, before the other networks joined in the LIE.

Except for a couple of programs, MSNBC has some real credibility problems.

First we have Andrea Mitchell, who could never say a positive thing about Hillary, even if there was a positive story about here.

Anyone who saw the double standard interview of Matt Lauer, should have no doubt where MSNBC is coming from.

Of course there was sloppy Joe, and a whole other set of unforgettables, but perhaps the worst is Chuck Todd who does nothing to conceal his bias. Some of his best lines:

"Chuck Todd: Pointing out Republican lies isn't his job"

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/9/18/1239734/-Chuck-Todd-Pointing-out-Republican-lies-isn-t-his-job

or this latest pearl from Todd:

"Chuck Todd: Media knew how ‘hated’ Hillary was in heartland and we ‘underplayed’ it

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/chuck-todd-media-knew-how-hated-hillary-was-in-heartland-and-we-underplayed-it/

for Todd's wonderful insights he was given the job to host "Meet the Press"

Their recent hiring of Greta Van Susteren and Megan Kelly should leave no doubt exactly where MSNBC is coming from
