Is NBC pro-Obama?

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

They were the first major news network to declare Obama ahead in delegate count. Today they interviewed someone from an anti-Hillary group (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4661388).
They also ran a segment that blasted Hillary's claims of plagiarism (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4652016).

Also, they cover the elections more than other networks, ever since Obama started pulling ahead. Is it just me or are they clearly in favor of Obama over Hillary?

1. funny because

all day they have been talking to Clinton surrogates since Obama's team has been traveling-I've actually been watching

[MadBadger]

2. Tucker also has Lanny Davis on everday.

And Scarborough went after Michelle Obama today.

[oasis]

21. How could a pundit ignore a gaffe like Michelle's? Cindy MCCain has already

put an exclamation point on Mrs. Obama's remark by declaring "I've always been very proud of my country".

[Vinca]

35. I'd like to ask old Cindy how proud she was when the Abu Ghraib

pictures came out. She's a Stepford Wife at best. If she's going to insert herself into the mix, then it's time to start talking about Cindy's "good old days."

[marlakay]

36. Better yet, where were your american values

when you had an affair with mccain when he was married???? that would shut her up for good!

[Vinca]

40. She's a treasure trove for the general election.

If they want to play nasty, so can we.

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. YES, especially MSNBC. It's the Trash Hillary Network. THN...n/t

[question everything]

26. THN - good one! NBC/MSNBC/Newsweek (nt)

[jillan]

4. I have been feeling that way - that's why I'm tuning into CNN these days.

Except for Dan Abrams - he is great - he gives both of the candidates alot of shit :)

[Lucinda]

10. Dan is the only one I watch on MSNBC right now...

otherwise it's definitely anti-Clinton...or has been for weeks anyway

[karynnj]

5. Sure doesn't sound like it to me

[Pirate Smile]

6. MSNBC has been slamming him (and Michelle) all day so it doesn't seem like it today.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

15. I haven't been watching today

but when I do watch, I notice an anti-Hillary trend. Since I am an Obama cultist, I don't think I would notice this if it didn't exist. Oh well, I've been wrong before.

[progdog]

18. That's my impression too. n/t

[defendandprotect]

25. ...and they have a whole year ahead of them to keep at it . . . !!!

[GPSrulesall]

7. I'd have to agree

NBC has been pro-obama since Iowa. The slant is very clear. Look at what Chris Matthews, Mika whatever her name is, and Joe Scarborough do on a daily basis. Talk up Obama and basically crap on Hillary. It's shameless and although I hate to say it Fox News seems to be more fair in coverage so far this primary season. I only watch CNN or Fox for updates, MSNBC has gone all in with Obama, and we'll see how that works out in the long run.

14. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

16. I actually watch NBC for the same reason

since I'm pro-Obama. But to me the slant is clear.

[question everything]

30. That's Mika Brzezinski, daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski who is Obama's adviser

about how to ask dictators and murderers to please, please play nice, they way he used to advise Jimmy Carter.

[stillcool]

8. I'm missing something here....

why do so many people watch this stuff? They are totally not credible, and have been proven so time and time again! These talk shows are just that talk. Do people take what they say seriously?

[IADEMO2004]

9. Russert or Matthews want the VP slot

[MadBadger]

13. Is Russert a Dem or a Repuke? Get your talking points straight.

[Captain Hilts]

11. YES. nt

[GarbagemanLB]

12. Kinda like how CNN is pro-Hillary.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

19. Sort of

but I think NBC is more pro-Obama than CNN is pro-Hillary. CNN was a bit shady with their delegate math early on, but nothing like the New York Times (which still has Hillary ahead in delegates...).

[Iceburg]

17. They are pro-Repub, for the time being masquerading as pro-Obama...then its back to McCain/nt

[MadBadger]

20. And what about Keith?

[Iceburg]

27. He's NOT pro-Bush. But he is biased in favor of Obama...

and has taken cheap shots at Hillary.
He should have stayed above the shit flying in the men's room.

[MadBadger]

29. I'm guessing you would say the same of David Shuster, and Rachel Maddow, Eugene Robinson

[question everything]

32. I would.

Are you actually trying to defend David Shuster? I wonder, if the Clinton's child were a young man, would he have used the same term?

Eugene Robinson did not like it when the Clintons first mentioned MLK. "He is ours," he said.

And I "told" him: no, he is "ours" - he belongs to all of us, black and white, hispancis and Asians for allowing us to look ourselves in the mirror without shame. He is an American hero who belongs to all of us, not only to blacks.

[MadBadger]

33. I'm responding to people saying MSNBC is pro-repub, not the comment

So yes, I would be defending him for that.

[cooolandrew]

22. Going off most polls most of the country is, when she attacked media it didn't help.

[defendandprotect]

23. NBC would only be pro-Democratic failure . . .

and pro-fascist winners --- !!!

[question everything]

24. Is the Pope Catholic?

NBC is part of the MSNBC/Newsweek where they are not even trying to hide their swooning over Obama.

Listen to Olberman's guests, read Jonathan Alter's columns in Newsweek, heck, look at the coronation issue that came after Iowa and that I read as the results of New Hampshire were being reported.

And, of course, the "great" Tim Russert.

[high density]

28. Clinton's campaign has done a good job at making bad news for themselves

I can hardly fault NBC for reporting it.

[Justyce]

31. Only until after the primary. nt

[Vinca]

34. This morning I turned on MSNBC just long enough to determine

it was an Obama bashathon . . . again. I emailed them and asked how many days of Obama bashing it would take to atone for the David Schuster comment.

[ShortnFiery]

37. Yes, the poor Clintons are just hapless victims of one big a** conspiracy.

:eyes:

[LadyVT]

38. Nonpublic TV is biased...

toward Obama at the moment, because he's giving them big ratings. At the beginning of the primaries, a CNN reporter said "this is what we live for!" and how he was hoping it would come down to a fight on the Democratic Party convention floor, because nothing would be better for the ratings than that.

They're in the money business.

[rocktivity]

39. Is NBC pro-David Shuster?
