Pew Analysis: Joke Channel MSNBC is 85% Opinion, 15% Straight News
— Ace

For comparison: CNN is 55% news, 45% opinion, and FNC is 45% news and 55% opinion.

MSNBC is in its own class.

1 MSNBC is 85% Opinion, 15% Straight News What? With Maddow onboard, I thought they only did gay news.

Posted by: Grumpy Cat at March 18, 2013 05:03 PM (j3uk1)

2 15%! Why so high? Does that include those prison documentaries they run on the weekends?

5 Why does our side insist on referring to asshats like these as the Mainstream Media? Can't we come up with a term that denigrates them just a little bit? They have earned the scorn.

6 The kicker is that FNC actually has opinions across the spectrum.  MSNBC has 90% of the 85% from the Left (and that's being generous).

101 MSNBC is 85% Opinion, 15% Straight News






15%? I think they missed a decimal point. More like 0.15%

102 MSNBC should spice up their programming. Hoverround commercials and Time Life infomercials for CD collections of seventies music would make a welcome change from their duller shows.

105 Both MSNBC and Fox News are insignificant in terms of audience (2 and 3 million at their peaks).

Talking heads arguing does not appeal to 98% of the country.

PBS NewsHourÂ’s news agenda also shifted in some significant topic areas from 2007 to 2012. Coverage of government dropped from 11% to 2% while coverage of business and economics jumped from 4% to 14%. Another area of reduction was overseas coverage, which accounted for half the programÂ’s newshole (50%) in 2007, but fell to about one-third (34%) in 2012.





Completely unrelated to a Democrat becoming President, I'm quite sure.....

110 @ Grumpy Cat You know, a station that only showed Lucha Films, Kung Fu movies, old horror movies, would be the only channel I ever watched, throw in some actual lucha libre and or hockey/sumo/rugby and I'd toss them so much money PBS would weep.

111 15%? I think they missed a decimal point. More like 0.15% That leaves 14.85% unaccounted for. Unless its made up of Chris Matthews's empty bourbon bottles stashed in the recycle bin.

113 "America One News"...I've been thinking about this.  How about 'straight new', no opinion and all interviews were conducted by a progressive correspondent and then a conservative one..separate interviews, of course.  Play both at the same time once you can get the politician to actually answer questions from both sides; thus nonpartisan. 
Opinion shows?  Have that Ray Madcow guy on, then Rush, then Levine, then the fat red Ed and yes, even olbiedouche.  Give them each six months, don't have the audience, you're gone.  No partisan crap, no favorites.  Give the audience what they want.  Let people hear both sides and perhaps, though I'm not counting on it, they might realize how they're being porked.
But I' m just a lurker..what do I know?
