Abandoning any pretense of balance, MSNBC's Inauguration coverage will
be quad-anchored by four left-wingers: the network's three night time
hosts -- Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow -- plus
regular analyst Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post. Plugging the
team at the end of the 7 PM EST Hardball on Monday night, Matthews
trumpeted how “this is one of the great opportunities in journalism to
cover history in the face” and declared “it's going to be the honor of
our lifetimes.” With a graphic on screen showing pictures of the four
and announcing MSNBC's 9:45 AM to 4 PM ET coverage, Matthews
trumpeted:


This is one of the great opportunities in journalism to cover history
in the face. We're going to see history in the face and when you get
up tomorrow morning I recommend you stay tuned all day because I don't
think you're going to stop seeing history being made, from the very
beginning in the morning. It's going to be our best coverage all day.
We're going to end up -- Keith and I and Rachel and Gene Robinson --
it's going to be the honor of our lifetimes to be here on the
Washington Mall.

Meanwhile, FNC's coverage will be co-anchored by Bret Baier and Chris
Wallace (a veteran of NBC News and ABC News), neither known as
ideologues.

Nonetheless, last week MSNBC President Phil Griffin insisted “we're
less about ideology than Fox.”
