MSNBC and CNN do not keep each other in check, it's a race to the bottom of pure garbage "journalism", which is most often either exaggerated clickbait or totally fabricated yellow journalism.
They also all participate in laundering of fake news. One of them throws up a totally false story and all of the others repeat it.
As a recent high-profile example, Washington Post falsely claimed that Trump told a Georgia election official to "find the votes", which a later leaked recording proved to be absolutely fabricated (they retracted it). CNN, MSNBC, BBC and other ethically bankrupt organisations printed the lie verbatim.
What in the world? The former guy said, on a real, not fake recording "I just want to find 11,780 votes". This has not been retracted. Where are you reading this?
Perfect example! The media took the GA official at his word, ran with the story, 2 months later the recording come up and most of it was made up.
If that doesn’t tell you what the media is about I don’t what is. They literally ran with a story about the president they couldn’t corroborate and it turned out to be lies.
"CORRECTION: [...] Trump did not tell the investigator to “find the fraud” or say she would be “a national hero” if she did so."
That's a pretty whopping correction that changes the entire story. If he's asking her to investigate the votes to find wrongdoing, then there's absolutely no wrongdoing.
