MSNBC (Opinion)

U.S. left

MSNBC — rebranded as MS NOW in November 2025 after being spun off from Comcast/NBCUniversal — is a cable news network with a well-documented left-leaning editorial orientation, driven largely by its primetime opinion and commentary programming. Media bias rating organizations such as AllSides and Media Bias/Fact Check consistently classify it as left-leaning. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been broadly critical, with hosts like Rachel Maddow returned to nightly primetime specifically to anchor opposition-focused reporting.
