MSNBC's slogan is "Lean Forward".

If you can't see a liberal bias at MSNBC... i'd argue you probably aren't looking...

because it's right in the slogan.


I'm trying to figure out if you're being serious or joking? Now be sure before you answer, is that MSNBC's slogan? Or is it the slogan of a specific show on MSNBC? As I said earlier, MSNBC has shows that are clearly left focused and shows that are clearly right focused. Unlike Fox, who is ONLY right focused, which is why I say not to get your "news" from them.

It's the entire networks slogan.

Cable news network msnbc said Tuesday it is launching a two-year, multimillion-dollar marketing campaign, embracing its politically progressive identity with the new tagline “Lean Forward.”

They don't even try and hide the fact that they're a liberal news network... in fact they activly promote that fact.

If you can't see it... like I said... you must not be looking.

You're totally right that MSNBC has set itself up as the news network of liberal-leaning television viewers, but Fox News created a new paradigm that allowed that to happen. News coverage has changed a lot since Fox News became the juggernaut it is. More and more news networks are becoming overt participants in the political process, instead of simply reporting on it.

Now, I know American news media have a long history of political activism since the beginning of the republic, and Fox News didn't invent bad journalism, but I truly believe MSNBC and others like it evolved in large part because of the success of Fox News.
