Kieren, those are the opinion parts of MSNBC, not the mainstream "reporting" headlines. Those examples you listed were just opposite the same stuff found on MSNBC under "Stand and Deliver".
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. What I'm referring to is not "editorial" parts of a news organization, but the actual news reporting. On the nightly news on almost any channel, you have the anchor turning it over to a reporter on the scene for coverage of an issue. IMHO, all networks and cablenews coverage does a good job at explaning both sides' opinions.
Raubvogel, I saw CBS do just that, and they re-tracted within a few minutes. As a matter of fact, they bent over backwards to say they screwed up. And you know as well as I do that all the stations did the exact same thing in 1984 and 1988 and 1992 and 1996. I remember when Reagan won in 1984, every station was calling it a Reagan victory mere minutes after the voting closed on the east coast. They've done the same, stupid thing for years, not only when the Democrat wins.
FWIW, I agree that that's an annoying habit. I think that no news channel should call anything until
all the voting is complete, in all 50 states.
Udie, I heard Paul Harvey the other day start out his ramblings thusly: "Hello Americans, today, the Florida State Supreme Court, all Democrats, will decide...etc."
Now, if Paul Harvey isn't mainstream, I don't know who is.

Udie, each party gets slapped with labels like that. Heh, to you Reps, all of us Dems look like "Whale Saving, tree hugging, bleeding heart Socialists".
Gee Udie, I didn't know you were that sensitive. You'd make a good liberal.
