Here's what I like and hate about msnbc:

Rachel Maddow is awesome. She presents things really well, and any time she has a guest she fact-check with her guest to make sure she's got it straight. She is also pretty fair to Romney & Ryan. She questions what they say without being mean and never loses her shit.

Ed Shultz: He's cool. He clearly has a good time at his job and is pretty passionate about what he has to say especially whenever he talks about unions and workers. His live reports from troubled areas deserve extra recognition. The man gives a shit.

Laurence O'donnell : This guy cracks me up. He's pretty smart too, but he DROOLS any time a republican trips. He is so happy and giddy to report a mistep, gaffe, lie etc that I bet he dances around in his undies, script in hand, just minutes before he goes live.

I forget the instances but I've seen ED and Laurence quote the 'publicans out of context at least once, which really pisses me off. I know that MSNBC is the anti-Fox, but they don't need to resort to this. Fox lies and distorts the truth constantly. We don't need another Fox.

Anyway, I think its best that no one stick to just Fox, or just msnbc, or just CNN for that matter. Watch whatever you like, and if you care about what they have to say take a few minutes to fact check it. You'll see find that Romney is still a flip-flopping lying piece of shit but at least you won't have to take only msnbc's word for it.
