Like the Washington Post?

You’re cherry picking and ignoring the differences cinesimon pointed out. The WaPo reporter didn’t summon the MBF. In addition to what you put up, she also wrote:

But that an “Earth to Fox” message was calmly delivered by someone who also thinks MSNBC tells only half the story was extra enjoyable in my view, because seeking to please — the lobby, sources, TV producers, or anyone in a position of power — is the root of much wrong in this town. Politicians have a base, not journalists, and if you can’t go up against your “team” on either the right or left, you have ceased to be that.

She’s simply saying that she found Rick’s candor & refusal to pander for face time enjoyable. She obviously feels that’s a god thing, but she didn’t imply equivalence. The fact that “both sides do it” doesn’t make it equivalent any more than the fact that both Palestinians & Israelis kill each other makes that situation equivalent.

Is MSNBC partisan? Absolutely, and cinesimon stated as much. Does that make MSNBC equivalent to Fox? Absolutely not.
