MSNBC is "marked for death" and will be figuratively thrown under the bus and shot in the head by those on the political left. That's the prediction of media giant Glenn Beck.

Beck was analyzing comments from former President Jimmy Carter, who told CNN yesterday that there have been distortions in news coverage on both sides of the political aisle.

"The talk shows with Glenn Beck and others on Fox News, I think, have deliberately distorted the news. And it's become highly competitive," Carter said. "And my Republican friends say that MSNBC might be just as biased on the other side in supporting the Democratic Party, the liberal element."

On his radio show today, Beck predicted Carter's sentiment will become echoed in the coming days:

They are going to make this into a regular talking point. You're going to hear the liberals come out and start to throw MSNBC under the bus and throw them under the bus hard. And here's why. MSNBC is marked for death. If it is sold to Comcast, Comcast will run it like a business. If it remains liberal, it will just be a good liberal station. It will just run things that will actually get ratings. If it's not, it will most just likely be a news channel. I mean, I don't know what they're gonna do with it. but it won't feature Keith Olbermann, and they know that.
