I'll give you... (none / 0)
The fact that Gregory is a putz, but I don't believe anyone (especially at NBC) can seriously be called objective or even a journalist at this point. They are about as disreputable as Fox is on the right at this point. They are all corporate driven media outlets, and they simply will not allow the "truth" of the matter to be distributed. I personally find that the "honeymoon" time is still in full force, and Obama is taking full advantage of the positive media coverage while covering up hid glaring inadequacies as a leader. :)

no, the major difference is that Fox News gets caught on (really dumb) mistakes all the time, while MSNBC doesn't.
And as we have seen MSNBC corrects (some) mistakes, I've seen Olbermann and Maddow do mea culpas.

It's not so much the spin with Fox, we know where they come from, it's that they can't fact check the simplest things it seems (everytime they say "the first time in history that", you know you need to fact check, because they're pulling stuff out of their asses).

They are both... (none / 0)
The poisonous fruit of the same tree. I don't see much difference in either of them. In fact, I find MSNBC more venomous toward Fox than otherwise... But, your point is taken and overall is still valid - David Gregory is a clueless putz who needs to do something about those Gregory Peck eyebrows, QUICK!!! :)
