MSNBC-


Beginning in the mid-2000s, MSNBC assumed an increasingly progressive stance in its opinion programming. In October 2010, it publicly acknowledged this with a marketing campaign it called "Lean Forward".
...On 11 October 2010, MSNBC unveiled a new televised advertising campaign and slogan called "Lean Forward". "We've taken on CNN and we beat them," MSNBC President Phil Griffin told employees at a series of celebratory "town hall" meetings. "Now it's time to take on Fox." Concerning the campaign, Griffin said, "It is active, it is positive, it is about making tomorrow better than today, a discussion about politics and the actions and passions of our time."[40] The new campaign embraces the network's politically progressive identity


Of course, there are some that LIKE to only hear one side of the debate:

BTW, I'd give MSNBC the highest grades for factual reporting of any news outlet...

Yeah, some of their commentators get a little carried away, Chris Mathews being the worst, but at least he is a former Congressional aide so he does understand facts from rhetoric... He's just a very rude person who in spite of knowing a lot of stuff needs a good ass whuppin' and told to not interrupt people... It's rude...

But as for facts, MSNBC seems to be the only news source where you actually get facts that hold up to scrutiny... None of the others do... Okay, some get the facts correct most of the time but refuse to ever have a liberal on their shows... ABC, NBC, CBS, C-Span??? When was the last time that Bernie Sanders appeared on any of those stations??? Like, other than the talking filibuster he did a couple years ago where these so-called liberal news outlets reported that he had done this, never... Kucinich??? Never Sherrod Brown??? Never... Never and more never...
