What I get is you, one of the most liberal posters on this board, now wants to call himself moderate. You need to grow a pair and come out of the closet. :)

It's unsurprising that a poster like you would have simplistic, one-dimensional labels for others.

Are the positions I listed "liberal"? Yes or no on that is fine...

You happily supported The Obama, that makes you a liberal. Now that its no longer "cool", you want to be a moderate. :)

msnbc is by far the smartest and most elite network. I feel dumber everytime i watch foxnews. cnn is meh and doesn't ask the right questions. msnbc is flawless and only for intelligent people like myself. so it's understandable why some in this thread may not like it.

CNN still exists?

How is that an "oops"? You're really braindead, as far as posters go. I do happen to think Obama is a moderate.

But, many conservatives - especially on this board - have said he's "just like Bush."

Where is the contradiction? Do you have a hard time working things out in your brain?

I think Obama was pretty left-wing coming in. I don't think he's governed much different than anyone else would, though. People in power are naturally less compassionate.

I watched it on all three networks and it is true that MSNBC had only liberal voices on their program. It made for interesting viewing for me though as that is what I expect. I watch MSNBC most of the time. At least when I flipped back to Fox the few times I did (I get tired of their way right stuff) Juan Williams was grilling Rove...and that made for some good exchanges. I do agree with Cawacko that having Olberman host the thing was akin to having Hannity host the one on Fox. And having Maddow on one side and Matthews on the other was like having Beck sit on the panel with O'Reilly. I did see O'Reilly make a cameo once on Fox's program but that was all. Like I say, I was mainly flipping back and forth between MSNBC and CNN. CNN, as usual had the best balanced coverage of the three networks IMO.

I think MSNBC was just trying to put their big names out front to draw in ratings. Maybe not the classiest way to get things done but they're already struggling anyway. 2008 election coverage was by Olbermann as well.

No I searched for the term "moderate" under your name. Other liberals on this board have said that The Obama is moderate as well. You're all the same: lemmings.

The last liberal president was probably either LBJ or Truman. There was hope that Obama would be more left-wing than Clinton. I haven't really seen that. Again, I don't think anyone else would've done much different.

Thanks for proving my point yet again...

I rarely watch the cable news channels, its just not my thing. But tonight I switched between MSNBC and Fox News but mostly stuck with MSNBC.

The first thing that jumped out to me was why was Olbermann the host? It seems like the equivalent of having Hannity host for Fox News. It's like you are saying we have no objectivity with that. The second thing was MSNBC had all liberal voices on their panel. We know Fox News leans right but on their panel they had a couple of Democratic leaning folk. I would think no matter who you are you would at least like to hear a voice/perspective or two from 'the other side'.

Maybe MSNBC's strategy is to say f it we are who we are and we're appealing to left-leaning folks only. I just don't understand how you have Olbermann host and not even one token right leaning voice on there.

It was probably his hour?

I could only watch for about a half hour...then I watched my dvr
 
For election coverage, I go with CNN. Can't stand to watch MSNBC or Fox because of how they play up the partisanship during election coverage. You can call CNN biased as well, but its still multitudes of times more preferable to the others.
