Is MSNBC Biased Against Hillary Clinton?

[jlake]

1. Shockingly so.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. I Can't Watch It

It's shameless...

It reminds me of Election Night 00 when I had to watch fat Pat Cadell slime Al Gore...

[OHdem10]

They give the appearance that their mission is to put Obama

in the WH. Other Candidates, get the H---out of the way.

[Cush]

2. is the sky blue?

[StevieM]

3. I don't know how they can act this way and live with themselves (eom)

[Egnever]

5. Yea i think so

but then I think CNN is biased for Clinton soo I guess we each get to watch who we want.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. It's Not As Bad

[MonkeyFunk]

6. very much so

I'm back to watching CNN, which doesn't make me happy.

[BuyingThyme]

7. Any legitimate news agency would be.

[underpants]

8. No the corporations love her-she is a "known known"

and the inside the beltway crowd knows that there won't be any trouble at the city gates like with one of those "public school" types like Edwards

[sofeisty]

9. All except for Dan Abrams...bless his heart

He's REALLY gone out on a limb to try to expose the media's bias against her while not going overboard to support her. A couple of nights ago he featured a study that showed something like 70% positive stories for BO while 30% for Hillary Clinton.

[thatsrightimirish]

14. its funny because he criticizes them

But puts the same exact people on the panel every single time

[Freida5]

10. Their coverage is awfully biased

[Freida5]

15. I have switched to CNN and hate to admit occassionally Fox

[TheDonkey]

11. Sounds like a push poll only sHillbots could love

[DainBramaged]

19. Stop, just ugly and sour grapes

It's going to the convention, in spite the hopes and dreams of all you Obamabots. You can just calm down and be constructive.

[incapsulated]

13. Other: FUCK YES.

:hi:

[BootinUp]

23. Its true

I can't even turn there anymore till this is over.

[ShortnFiery]

16. Nice push polling. Between this and homophobic innuendo, you're a busy operative tonight.

Gee, how proud your friends and family must be of your NOBLE efforts? :eyes:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Homophobic?

Put down the crack pipe...

[avaistheone1]

17. I think so. They alway treat Hillary in a most condescending manner.

She has my sympathies. I am sick of all the blatant sexism in mainstream media.

[TheWraith]

18. No. When somebody says something not fellatingly glowing about your candidate...

That doesn't mean they're out to get you.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Huh

They are biased...

Bias is bad... It interferes in the search for the truth...

[LucyParsons]

21. My impression is the opposite.

Seems to me the corporate media has pushed Clinton as the inevitable DNC candidate because

a) she creates good "stories" (tabloid-style) and the resultant Clinton bashing that will go in the media will mean big $$$

b) they think she'll lose in the general election, because so many Americans have an irrational hatred of her

and

c) even if she won the general election, she'd be the "best" president out of the Democratic possibilities, as the most corporate


Of course, if you're a Hillary supporter you will almost certainly by definition disgree with my assessment. But the corporate media are manipulators and do not to me seem to unfairly discriminate against Hillary. At all.

**disclaimer - I supported Kucinich and will not vote for Hillary in the general - because I am in Texas and my vote won't count, anyway. I *might* vote for Obama. Or I might write in someone else who I really support, like Kucinich or Nader.

[McCamy Taylor]

24. I think they are biased for John McCain and against the Democrats and

since Hillary attracts the core Democratic base, they are rooting for Obama, who is only a Democrat-lite.

The are promoting McCain because GE's bosses at the Pentagon are promoting him and the generals have told GE to use their propaganda machine to help McCain. If the nominee is Obama, then NBC can start covering the Fitzgerald prosecution of Rezko. They can even get Abrams and KO on it and make it look like one of their regular "let's clean up political corruption" vendettas. Reduce Obama to road kill before November. If they tried something like that with Hillary, everyone would recognize it as a media smear, but with someone new like Obama they would say "Hey, what do we really know about the guy?" And meanwhile, Dan Abrams would be hyping the federal trial night after night like Ted Koppel holding America hostage on ABC in 1980.

That is the game plan as best I can predict.

GE did not get to be the world's biggest company by playing nice.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. Their electoral map showed Michigan and Florida as states won by her

I thought those states were still up in the air and subject to debate at the national convention.

[Texas_Kat]

27. I left CNN for MSNBC in 04

I can't (WON'T) watch MSNBC anymore -- I'm done with them -- KO included.

[AZBlue]

28. I don't watch much TV, but I can tell you that msnbc.com is very biased for her.

It's been extremely obvious the last few weeks - online articles have all but called her the Official Dem Nominee.

[Clinton Crusader]

30. FOR her? You sure DON'T watch much TV!

[AZBlue]

42. Read slowly:

I said msnbc.com

[Clinton Crusader]

29. Outrageously, shockingly, obviously, outlandishly, boorishly, nauseatingly,

and unapologetically so. It started with Dweeby Tweety,but NOW! It's everyone! Inlcuding Keith, which saddens me so. Follow the money. GE that is.

As someone said they were ashen over the MA results. It KILLED them to have to say it.

If she's elected it will be Fixed Noise. They will be on her like white on rice every second of every day. But she's been down THOSE roads already. MSNBC wil be the new Fixed Noise.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. I Used To Respect K O

Now it's like Et tu,Brute .

[Hoof Hearted]

32. Sending a handwritten letter next week to let them know why that channel no longer exists on my

remote.

[Marie26]

33. Ooohh yeah.

So unprofessional.

[LBJDemocrat]

34. All the news channels are

Go to any major news website, and you'll see some article glorifying Obama or smearing Hillary as one of the top stories. It's blatant.

[truebrit71]

35. Not even close.

...

[Pastiche423]

36. NO

[ruggerson]

37. Is John McCain insane?

[independentpiney]

38. Yes, their lack of objectivity is really sickening.

And I say that as someone who voted for Obama this afternoon.

[ginchinchili]

39. All of MSM seems to be biased against Hillary and in favor of Obama.

I think it's because they see an Obama nomination being the bigger story. Big news events are great money makers for the struggling news media.

[chieftain]

40. Count this Obama supporter in the "Hell, Yes" column.

GE hates the Clintons and Russert, Mathews, Scarborough, Lauer, and even Gregory make little to no pretense of being journalists where Hillary and Bill are concerned.

[Little Star]

41. Ya think? KO whom I've loved since he was on Court TV during

the OJ trial is going to have a coronary. I have barely been able to watch him since the primary season started. And Tweets, well whats to say, he hates the Clinton's, always has. Need I mention Mika, nah.
