Well, today is the first time that they've managed to stray from the Democratic
Party line in their reporting. Just think about it. I don't think they managed
to mention Robert Perry's death or Credico's questioning by the congressional
committee or the latest controvercial news about Julian Assenge . This was the
first challenge to the Russiagate stuff and their reporting on Syria is
abominable. There was no focus on the 17 Democratic senators who voted to
reverse the Dodd Frank legislation. The only reason I know how poor their
coverage has been over the past year is that I've been listening to a number of
really good podcasts with young truly leftist investigative journalists.

Today it was an informative program. But to call it, MSNBC? Well, we all have
our biases' based on our own opinions. I recall the many years I tuned into
NPR for my world news source, and then more of BBC.
I still do listen, some, but hold them at arms length.

For a change, Democracy Now had a really informative program today,
all about how the US has attempted to,and succeeded in interfering
with the elections of other countries. Stephen Kinzer was the guest, a
historian whose written several books on the subject and who like many
others, was, but is no longer, a New York Times reporter.
But as was pointed out on the Unauthorized Disclosure Podcast today,
Democracy Now has become, in most cases, the new MSNBC. And that
comment was not meant as a compliment.
