1. Yes. Piece of crap and demonstrates that MSNBC is concerned about profit

MSNBC and CNN are both concerned about profit over all.

Fox is a propaganda source. People who equate MSNBC and Fox are doing the country a disservice. And I include Obama in that.

5. But Americans believe they are propagandists. They are only profit-seeking.

Fox is propaganda. Murdoch would be willing to lose money to push his (super-wealthy) agenda. As Murdoch did and does with the NY Post.

The problem is America has a bunch of profit-seeking mainstream media: CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS.

And ONE right wing, GOP propaganda outlet: Fox. With no equivalent on the left.

Murdock is in it for the money. That should come as no surprise to anyone.
