What's up with MSNBC?

I was just watching MSNBC. I always do. I know what FOX will say.

Chris Matthews said these strange things. He said the president had a 39% approval rating when ABC has a similar poll with bush at 46%.

Why is MSNBC taking this stand. Does GE want to ride MSNBC into the ground. What are they thinking. My dollars won't go into their stock, not because of their stand (I never invest on emotion) but they are sooooo far left to differentiate themselves from FOX.
