'CAROUSEL OF LIBERAL OPINION': Those words, from Alessandra Stanley in
describing MSNBC, resulted in a collective
gasp from the conservative side of the aisle. Of course, the afore-mentioned 'gasp' mostly related to the question of how such a comment could appear on the website of the
New York Times, a newspaper believed by many to be liberally driven. Good to see, in my opinion. If we're going to criticize Fox News for its ultra-conservative propagandizing, we cannot dismiss MSNBC for lesser crimes of the same nature. I think, perhaps, the primary distinction which ultimately should be drawn in this instance relates to the fact that MSNBC makes no secret of its liberalism (see the 'Lean Forward' slogan/tagline), whereas Fox News still likes to frequently purport that it is 'fair and balanced'.
