Phil Griffin: MSNBC's Leftist Bias

This is for the Leftists who insist that MSNBC is a legitimate news outlet rather than a Left-wing propaganda machine.

That includes Rachel Maddow and her absurd claim that MSNBC is not a political operation.

MSNBC President Phil Griffin embraces his Lefty oasis and encourages Leftists to consider it their home.

From the Media Research Center:

In an interview with the AP, MSNBC President Phil Griffin bragged about life after Keith Olbermann, touting the cable channel as "really the place to go for progressives."

Griffin didn't bother denying the liberal bent of the network. He highlighted left-wing anchor Rachel Maddow, hyping, "She really has elevated the discussion and is in many ways the model that we want for cable news."

The MSNBC executive wouldn't discuss Keith Olbermann, who abruptly left the cable network in January. His new show will debut this week on Current TV.

...In the June 19 AP piece by David Bauder, Griffin identified his network's brand: "MSNBC has established a sensibility, a position, a platform...MSNBC stands for something and MSNBC is really the place to go for progressives and people who are looking for smart, thoughtful analysis."

I don't want to hear another Leftist claim that MSNBC is fair and balanced and delivers objective reporting.

If that's what you believe, maybe MSNBC President Phil Griffin can help you understand that you're wrong.
