This is not a defense of at times blatant partisanship at said news station, but they do not go nearly as far as FOX does. I'd call this a false equivalency.

I both agree and disagree. Hollo is right, Maddow is not the equivalent of Carlson or Hannity. Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross are the equivalent of Tucker and Hannity. Also, Hollo, MSNBC is easily as partisan as Fox, their tone just isn't as strident. While it's more subtle, their brand of propaganda is just as strong.
As an aside, I like Maddow and find her to be very intelligent. She was clearly affected by Trump because her show really went into a decline during his tenure, at least quality wise. I think she's aware of this, hence her now taking time to do other things.
