MSNBC President Phil Griffin Denies Lib Bias: We’ve “Never Had An Ideology” Like Fox
[Image: c6oi.jpg]

Same network that employs Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Al Sharpton, Joy Reid, Melissa Harris Perry, just to name a few. 03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao


The Daily Beast’s new interview with MSNBC president Phil Griffin occurred before RNC chair Reince Priebus announced his boycott of that network, so unfortunately it does not contain his response to that issue. The article does however contain plenty of interesting tidbits from Griffin, including his insistence that MSNBC “has never had an ideology” like its competitor Fox News does.

Griffin explains, “An ideology is a single thought across all programs. We’ve never had that,” before adding, “Obviously I hire people who fit the sensibility.”

At the same time, Griffin says of Fox News, “I think they do have an ideology, because every Republican who’s in trouble goes on that network to be taken care of… They’re owned by News Corp., which is Rupert Murdoch. Roger Ailes runs it, and he comes out of the Republican Party.” He adds: “That’s fine. They’ve done an incredible job over there. They’ve been very successful. They drive a lot of the conversation.”

The intern must have sent out the April 1 press release by mistake.

That said, Phil Griffin knows he's getting beat, and doesn't even try to hide it.

See, liberals see themselves as "mainstream", so by their definition they can't possibly be biased.

I think he believes what he says. Just shows how totally stupid he is.

Fox copies and pastes right off of the RNC websites. If you have any examples of the same with The DNC I'm all ears.

So true. Actually they see themselves as being the "only stream".

Well I'm glad they straightened that out. How many real conservative commentators do they have again?
