I can't listen to Maddow on MSNBC. Way too one sided

I actually rarely watch either. There are plenty of political news shows out there slanted one way or the other, the major news networks don't need to be dipping into that well except to bolster their own ratings. In my opinion news should be just that; NEWS. No rife with opinion, not biased and stacked to lean right or left politically, just tell me what happened, what the known facts are, and let me the viewer decide for myself.
Why Fox has to be so obviously right-leaning and the other network so ridiculously left is beyond me. Report the damn news and leave the bias to shows like Limbaugh and Jon Stewart.
By the way I do very much enjoy the Daily Show, speaking of Jon Stewart. Liberal-leaning yes, but he's definitely not afraid to take a pot shot or two at the libs, Obama, Clinton, etc, which I like. Ridiculous is ridiculous no matter who's doing it.
The polarizing effect that networks like Fox and MSNBC are having on the American society is absolutely dumbfounding. If you're going to call yourself a news network then be one. They don't say 'opinionate the news' they say 'REPORT the news'. Both stations need to try reporting for a change.
