That takes balls, and you've got them.
All was dark when the armies surrounded the town. There was little bloodshed as they swept in, and they quickly took control. "Success," said a communicator, "a base has been established."

I've seen a great deal more of FOX than MSNBC, however, largely because my grandfather tended to leave it on in the background for hours on end, so I couldn't really help hearing a good deal of it when I visited my grandparents every week or two. Its bias was painfully, ridiculously, makes-me-want-to-throw-things-at-the-TV obvious, and so I really can't imagine MSNBC being more biased unless its commentators typically open every news segment with, "We want Republicans to DIE!" It might manage equally biased, though, and if I'd seen more than about ten minutes of MSNBC in my life, I'd have an opinion on whether or not that's the case.
It's not. I mean, it's awful at times--Keith Olberman's "Worst in the world" segment comes to mind--but it's definitely not at the level of Fox News. After all, Keith Olbermann may be annoying, but at least he understands civil rights.

fox has editorial bias even in its news programs. its analysis programs are driven by lies.
so while msnbc is as liberal as foxnews is conservative, msnbc spends less time lying to its viewers.

The truth has a liberal bias.

i'm a bit curious as to what msnbc is supposedly to the left OF?
it's all corporate media and it's all controlled ultimately by the same corporate economic interests.
they may try to give each of them the appearance of a little bit different spin, to try and hook different audiance segments, but the pap they're feeding each persues the same complacency and maliability, to assume prevailing assumptions are somehow inevitable and that anything else would have to be worse.
the only real news, aside from pacifica and the like, is from bloggers, whom, taken as a whole, may be almost as unreliable, but at least there's enough real diversity out there that truth can sometimes be extracted by interpolation.
