In a recent interview, 57-year-old Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, said that the network “has never had an ideology.”I'm sure in his mind there is no bias, just as the Editors of the New York Times and Washington Post also believe they are not biased. It's like the old saying, " A fish doesn't know it's in water". These people are in such a cacoon, they don't even realize how isolated they are.
The former NBC researcher, who prefers jogging suits to business suits and is beset with constant nervous twitching, insisted that the network stays “true to the facts.” Griffin maintained that if a Democrat has problems, MSNBC anchors are not going to bail them out. He claimed, “If you’re a Democrat in trouble, we’re not a place where we’re going to rehabilitate you. You’re not going to get a free ride if you did wrong.” ..................
Some viewers may raise eyebrows as to Griffin’s assertion that he doesn’t run a biased network. In 2013, MSNBC hired former Obama presidential adviser David Axelrod and former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs to provide political commentary across the network’s programming. Media critic Howard Kurtz admitted that he is very troubled by having two Obama loyalists as network advocates.
