Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple is just now noticing that MSNBC is completely unbalanced in its news coverage and features no pro-Trump voices. He deserves a participation trophy for this.
Anyone who pays even the slightest bit of attention to media knows that MSNBC has become a 24 hour one-stop-shop for hatred of all things Trump. It has been this way for years.
For all of the justified criticism of CNN, they at least have Scott Jennings. FOX News has plenty of pro-Trump voices, but they also have Trump critics on their network all the time.
MSNBC plays a game with this. They have on anti-Trump Republicans, then turn around and claim that they listen to both sides.
FOX News reports:
MSNBC mocked by Washington Post writer for lack of debate on left-wing network
The Washington Post’s media critic Erik Wemple mocked MSNBC on Tuesday for its “bias toward consensus” in President Donald Trump’s second term, joking that its unofficial motto should be, “I could not agree more.”
In a new column published Tuesday, Wemple revealed he spent 18 hours watching MSNBC in order to discover if the liberal network ever had dissenting voices on to debate the issues, as other cable news networks have done since Trump returned to the White House.
“To get closer to an answer, I decided to gulp roughly 18 hours of MSNBC programming, starting with ‘Morning Joe’ at 6 a.m. and continuing through daytime and prime time. That way, perhaps, I could gather some insights on the network’s strategy and view all those fierce debates that I’d missed with my on-again, off-again viewing habits. As it turned out, there was … one,” Wemple wrote.
That one debate came during MSNBC’s new evening program, “The Weeknight,” where co-hosts Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez sparred with guest, Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana, in “an intense exchange of views that qualifies as a debate,” Wemple wrote.
Rep. Victoria Spartz is a pro-Trump voice, but having someone like her on the network almost never happens.
Even MSNBC’s viewers know what the network really is and have tuned them out. MSNBC’s ratings have been in the gutter since election night last fall when their viewers realized they had been lied to for months.
Congratulations to Erik Wemple for finally figuring all of this out after so many years. Next thing you know, he’s going to claim that Biden’s mental decline was covered up by the Biden White House and the media.
