Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI'm a big fan of MSNBC, but this is really bugging me:

Stop pumping out the idea that the House is going to end up majority red!!

As with most corporate media, they frequently present things in a way that favors the conservative side.
