MSNBC is a 24-hour cable news channel. Started in 1996, it is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC.
The channel is the lowest rated of the three major cable news channels.
MSNBC has received criticism from both liberal and conservative groups regarding the channel's perceived biases. The conservative media watchdog group the Media Research Center[1] argues that MSNBC has a liberal slant, citing shows by Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, while liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America[2] decries the channel's alledged conservative slant, citing shows by Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarbourough.
In the past, MSNBC shows have featured Mitch Albom, Ann Coulter, Phil Donahue, Bill Moyers, Maury Povich, and Michael Savage, among others.
