Rediculously Biased and Contrived but hey...it's NBC News!

My overall favorite part to this is that Tim Russert pretends to pose as an independent when all the questions he asks and his background (ahem, working with Mario Cuomo) describes himself as strictly liberal. NBC news claims to not have any bias but there clearly is a liberal bias in their reporting as well as "Meet The Press." This show is only suitable if you're on the left but if you're int he middle or to the right then this show is not for you. At leased they have some good guests every once and a while.
