Even Democrats Increasingly Reject MSNBC's Spin
In the latest Gallup poll, self-described Democrats cited CNN well over MSNBC as their preferred source for information on television. 10 percent of Democrats told Gallup's pollsters that CNN was their primary source for news and information. Only 2 percent said MSNBC and 1 percent cited Fox News.
The reasons for MSNBC's lamentable condition are manifold. Many doctrinaire progressives would agree with Cohen’s assessment that MSNBC's network analysts appear incapable of calling the White House out when they manufacture or distort facts to support the preferred policy goal of the moment. Others do not.
Though it is one of their own making, MSNBC is in a lose/lose position. The primarily pro-Obama editorial voices on that network are simply unable to satisfy the progressive left without frustrating their sources and backers in the administration. Nor can they effectively sate the informational appetites of those offended by criticisms of this White House by covering events fairly and accurately. As is often the case in second presidential terms, the news is simply not cooperating.
