The chart from the Annual Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism's State of the News Media 2013, says it all.
A separate analysis of cable in late 2012 finds that, over all, commentary and opinion are far more prevalent on the air throughout the day (63% of the airtime) than straight news reporting (37%). CNN is the only channel to offer more reporting (54%) than opinion (46%), though by a small margin. By far the highest percentage of opinion and commentary is on MSNBC (85% to 15% reporting). Fox was in between at 55% commentary and 45% reporting.
Sounds about right...... but it seems the clueless think the news about MSNBC being 85 percent opinion based, is "startling."
