1. I know! After all the Ultra right has fox,
and the ultra left has MSNBC, and part of being radicalized is only wanting to hear things you already agree with.

Perhaps the MSM is for the rest of the country, or people like me who watch MSM, MSNBC & Fox to get a general Idea of what is going on in the country(Sadly I have to watch BBC to get a general world view).

2. MSNBC...Ultra-left. Too motherfucking hilarious as they range between Faux light during the day all
the way to establishment Democrat at night.

Friend, you can watch Faux, MSNBC, and all the CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC you can stomach and have precious little idea what is going on. You are simply immersing yourself in corporate propaganda and distraction with some punditry of varying quality. News has been dead as dinosaurs for about a decade other than foreign services and maybe PBS at times.

4. Yep, MSNBC gives you ¼ the truth,
Edited on Fri Oct-14-11 07:40 PM by Riftaxe
Fox gives you 1/4 the truth, put them together and you have 1/2 the truth, it's up to you to go find the other half.

The MSM usually covers different stories then either, same goes for BBC.

As far as radicalized, they settle for the small amount of the facts reported even when it was what they want to hear, Extremists don't care about facts, and just will never hear enough of opinions that agree with them (they will only be satisfied to be fat, dumb and happy in an echo chamber).
