Maddow Producer: ‘MSNBC Does Not Have a Political Agenda’

Thanks to the tough investigative work done by The Hollywood Reporter, we can finally clarify that MSNBC is apolitical and they do not have nefarious reasons for focusing so much negative coverage on the former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

In a story titled, “Sarah Palin: MSNBC’s Obsession With Her” the cable channel’s primetime programming veep and executive producer of the Rachel Maddow Show, Bill Wolff  was interviewed for the story and  schools us on the truth about the misunderstood (and underwatched) cable channel;

“MSNBC does not have a political agenda. The idea that we’re beholden to one side or the other is ridiculous.”

Oh sure,  MSNBC does have a morning show co-host who regularly reads talking points from the White House on-air.

The channel also has an avowed Socialist in The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell.

Ed Schultz openly professes that he is a Liberal, recently adding the word to the opening titles of his daily radio show and just yesterday proudly pointing it out to his listeners.

Ms. Maddow’s loyalties are obvious in this 2008 election recap.

And finally, MSNBC’s elder statesman, Chris Matthews has given us hundreds of statements on his opinion of the GOP and their policies, this one highlights his lack of appreciation for Sarah Palin, calling her “frightening.”

MSNBC, Agenda-Free.  Indeed.

      You’ve nailed it. So does Bachmann and the right at large. The ideology of the left is just that. It cannot survive application of critical thought. One of my greatest lessons in life was from an old Industrial Engineer a couple decades back: Liberalism is based on ideology, good intentions, and symbolism. Over the years I found if I apply these to the liberal issues of the day, the majority of the time it explains their motives and actions to a tee, and that would apply to both political parties.

I believe, until recently when Comcast came on the scene, GE owned NBC so what part of that is not leaning, I mean falling, to the left. Maybe the execs at NBC don’t even listen to their own shows.

      Well lets look at the reporter and where they are from. Hollywood? Hollywood is of course apolitical with no agenda what so ever. So anyone who is reporting on behalf of a journalistic group, or publication from Hollywood has to be open and honest. MSNBC of course is as fare and balanced a news broadcasting group as there can be. Oh wait…….

      My bad what was I thinking? Oh ya, now I remember. I was thinkng, sad to say that the groups of people that are MSNBC fans and would read something from the Hollywood Reporter, oh wait again. The people that would believe anything they see on MSNBC or read in the Hollywood Reporter forgot the old saying…………..Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
