**Mediaite Founding Editor Colby Hall argues that MSNBC’s coverage has become a form of political propaganda in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, mirroring the tactics he previously criticized Fox News for using during the Trump administration.**
Hall points out that MSNBC’s programming has long catered to a progressive audience and that its recent coverage of the Harris-Walz campaign has become increasingly one-sided, with no reporting on negative stories about Harris. He cites numerous examples of pro-Harris sentiment, from hosts praising her debate performance to MSNBC contributors joining the campaign.
Hall also draws attention to the revolving door between MSNBC contributors and the Biden administration, arguing that it further blurs the line between journalism and political advocacy. While acknowledging that MSNBC’s reporting is generally rooted in accepted truths compared to more extremist outlets, Hall maintains that it still falls short of journalistic standards, particularly when it comes to reporting on Harris and the election.
He compares MSNBC’s current approach to that of Fox News during the Trump administration, which he previously criticized for being a “state-run TV” that echoed the president’s agenda.
Hall concludes that MSNBC’s increasingly partisan coverage is a worrying trend, especially as a crucial election approaches, and that it should be held accountable for its biased reporting, just as Fox News has been in the past.
