Rachel Maddow is a direct equivalent.

MSNBC doesn't promote their opinion block as News.

How many people know that Fox News's news division only has 2 hours of programming a day?

I don't watch Maddow regularly nor do I see MSNBC's promotion of her show. The only episode I've watched in the past few years was the one where she claimed she had Trump's tax returns and would be showing them on the show. To me, this seemed like opinion media masquerading as news media.

This sort of hyperbole is central to the problem we face:

"..about clash of fundamentally incompatible moral systems - one in which one group would like to operate entirely above the law on the superficial basis of skin colour and inherited wealth by appealing to lies and fantasy and the basest and most distorted human instincts, and another which wants humans, politics, society, business, science, and art to be better than that."

I believe the response from a Fox news viewer would be "It's not news." It's an opinion segment and all major media networks have them as far as I'm aware.

I remember when I used to think like that. Man was I ever wrong. Now I wonder how it wasn’t obvious sooner.
