Aw, c'mon, Mom. A reality show based on getting coworkers to decide who should be laid off in the middle of a recession? I don't think news like that requires much journalistic slant, you know?
I can't believe you're both overlooking the actual point of the post - they are making a show that will make money off of turning some small business workplace into The Lord of the Flies. Doesn't this bother you at all? Isn't Fox also the network that gave us Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire, Cops, When Animals Attack, and other paragons of pop culture trash?
MSNBC is partisan and biased just like Fox News is - but there isn't any spin about this particular item. The point is that this particular show on this particular network is actively lowering the intellectual and moral bar of our culture. Who happens to report that the bar is dropping is sort of beside the point, isn't it?

Yes, I'm basing my judgement on that great purveyor of truth MSNBC. Please.

First rule to TV- Exploit whomever or whatever will get you the highest ratings. I hope it backfires and fails miserably.
ps- what company would be stupid enough to attach their name to this as a sponsor?
