Well, I am not to much on using forums as sources but they did link to the source.

But that is not a transcript of what was stated, rather a couple quotes that can be completely taken out of context. Here is what I think the statement you are making came from in the link above.
Having a prime-time lineup that tilts ever more demonstrably to the left could be risky for General Electric, MSNBC’s parent company, which is subject to legislation and regulation far afield of the cable landscape. Officials at MSNBC emphasize that they never set out to create a liberal version of Fox News.
“It happened naturally,” Phil Griffin, a senior vice president of NBC News who is the executive in charge of MSNBC, said Friday, referring specifically to the channel’s passion and point of view from 7 to 10 p.m. “There isn’t a dogma we’re putting through. There is a ‘Go for it.’”
Innocent enough but notice how there is no context and only a couple quoted lines. Watch how I can do the same with quotes from you (just an exercise and not pointed at you).
Also notice the 2 separated paragraphs which means they can lead you to think that the 1st bold point leads directly to the other but when challenged on it could say no thats a new paragraph, the story points have changed. If the 1st bold line was directly linked to the 2nd bold quote there would not be a new paragraph.
Fox Supporter turns Against Fox
In an interview with a Fox News supporter DrGuy on Thursday, who did a complete turn around bashing Fox News stating "I just want honest news" and "I think they are not totally open in their reporting" refering to Fox News reporting. Then when asked about there incompetent commentating there was no comment.
As yo can see I can take totally innocent comments you did make and really turn this story on its head which is why anyone now with half a brain will not be interviewed unless it is live and unedited.
I agree MSNBC is pretty crappy. As I already stated and I hope Fox pulls through this which hunt. The more you look at the way ALL these news organizations are run the more you have to laugh or cry. They are all meant to manipulate you and it's totally legal.
