When I was young I remember using the internet very briefly
and always seeing the MSN website pop up before my eyes right as I opened the
browser. Had I known I could change the homepage to myspace, or whatever I was
currently into at the time, I probably would have, but that isn’t my point. My
point is that MSN and MSNBC have changed their entire look, or my perception of
them has changed with time and maturity.
Looking at some of the major Left Winged broadcasts MSNBC
was one of the first things to pop up on my search for studies and accusations.
According to the Huffington Post MSNBC was accused of biased
coverage over the coverage in Israel they provided.
See story here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/21/rula-jebreal-msnbc-palestinians-airtime_n_5606673.html
The writer was accused of covering the Israel side more than
the Palestinian side of the current situation. According to an Italian and
Israeli citizen a radio station broadcast very little air-time for the
Palestinian side and more than substantive time for the Israeli side of the
debate.
The show was later cancelled for unknown circumstances,
perhaps related to this biased coverage? Do you think a major broadcast company
like MSNBC should have cancelled the show after being accused of the biased
reporting, if that was the reason it was cancelled?
