How Liberals View Fox And Conservatives View MSNBC


To many liberals, Fox News should be thrown off the air.  To them, Fox is a right wing news organization that constantly tells lies about the left.   On the other hand, liberals just love MSNBC because that network continually leans favorably towards the left and progressive ideals. 

But, do you ever hear conservatives saying that MSNBC should be taken off the airways?  Not hardly.  Instead, video clips and quotes from MSNBC have become a cottage industry, of sorts, for right wing blogs and commentary.  Why would any conservative want to kill MSNBC.  After all, MSNBC is literally the goose that lays so many beautiful golden goose-eggs for liberals.  People like Chris Matthews, Rachael Maddow, Ed Schultz and (my favorite) Al 'Foot In Mouth' Sharpton provide endless hours of ridiculous commentary for those on the right to quote.

The same can't be said about liberals and Fox.  They don't quote Fox as much because, really, they can't.  Instead, they would prefer to kill the messenger; all together.   There are left-wing petition drives all over the internet and Facebook, requesting that the FCC revoke Fox's license (even though, stupidly, they don't seem to know that Fox News needs no such license as a cable network).  The left is also threatening advertisers with boycotts if they continue to advertise on Fox. Such campaigns were successful in getting Glenn Beck off of Fox.

The bottom line is that liberals are afraid of the truth and, subsequently, like all leftists, freedom of speech should be damned!  That's why, in every leftist/socialist/communist country in the world, the freedom of press and speech is the first activity to be thrown out of the proverbial window.
