It's the same way I look at Fox. I can't take Fox seriously, because they are so blatantly partisan, it's ridiculous. The same applies to MSNBC...so it's not a partisan statement.
The lack of disclosure, on a piece like this, is disconcerting.
Don't feed the trolls!

The link from the article links directly to that, and yet they heavily manipulated it and call it journalism.
They've also removed the red-eye and spruced up his eyes.
