Yes, supposedly neutral “media analyst” Tim Graham attacked MSNBC for alleged bias and for giving “lesbian Air America host” Rachel Maddow her own show.

(IMPORTANT REMINDER! Rachel Maddow’s show debuted last night (Sept. 9) at 9pm ET! Be sure to email MSNBC at letters@msnbc.com to let them know how much you loved Rachel’s show, and how upset you are that Keith Olbermann was pulled off of MSNBC’s debate coverage!)

MSNBC’s decision to not allow Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews to cover the upcoming presidential debates and the above video illustrate something very important about FOX and conservatives: they don’t want the news to be unbiased — they want it to be like FOX. In that sense, trying to appease them with moves like pulling Olbermann and Matthews isn’t going to make them happy because nothing will ever be enough unless MSNBC abandons all journalistic integrity and becomes a Republican propaganda machine like FOX. Further, it confirms in their mind that the myth of the “liberal media” is true since MSNBC has essentially admitted it. Meanwhile, expect to see people like Sean Hannity and Brit Hume (who easily sheds his faux-gravitas “Walter Cronkite” persona to become a horribly acerbic “commentator” when asked) on FOX’s presidential debate coverage.

While MSNBC caves and cowers, FOX is still able to pretend that it is unbiased, despite the fact that FOX viewers consistently vote republican by huge margins (88% for Bush in 2004, projected 87% for John McCain). If FOX is really trying to be “Fair & Balanced” and not favor either party, they’re doing a horrendous job of it. But year after year, the same results. And year after year, no changes to their formula that produces such ridiculously lopsided results.

But here’s the thing: FOX continues to be a Republican propaganda machine by lying about being a Republican propaganda machine. If they refuse to admit to any bias, they don’t need to change anything to address it. Now that MSNBC has essentially confirmed that their coverage is biased, the attacks on them will only intensify. And, even worse, there is now the perception that MSNBC is somehow more biased than FOX.
