Is it just me or are the two best (non comical) News personalities in the states both on MSNBC? That being Olbermann and Maddow.
What is MSNBC like in general?

MSNBC is more the liberal and democratic tainted news, and therefore just as bias as Fox is. As it happens more people here agree with the liberals and democrats, so we tend to think of their news as "better".

Fairly biased i get, but Just as biased AS FOX? That's quite a claim...
Me thinks i'll stick to the Beeb and Al jazeera for my primary news sources.

Not sure how much truth there is in it, but one of my friends read a study once (or at least claims he did) that found Fox News had more "balance" between conservative and liberal guests than the overly liberal media of CNN and MSNBC (who favoured liberal guests far more than conservative ones).
I haven't found the study, but I think it might hold some truth. Fox News tends to invite liberals on so that they can laugh and make fun of them whilst under the guise of "having an interview". Just look at O'Reilly. He has mostly liberal guests on his show, since he loves to shout and harass them.
Of course, none of this "balance" affects the fact that Fox News also participates in censoring their liberal guests by cutting them off.
