I am ANTI CLINTON, but MSNBC is throwing her under the bus
If there's anything I dislike more than Hillary Clinton it's the corporate conservative, Republican owned media.

MSNBC is clearly trying to make both candidates look bad tonight with their leading, biased questions, and their idiotic video clips. But they are really doing a number on Clinton.

On one hand we have CNN, which is pro Clinton, and then we have MSNBC, which is pro Obama. Then we have FOX, which is pro neocon. What a joke the Fourth Estate has become.

4. Bullshit
Did you hear that Farrakhan question from Russert?

They are neither anti-Obama or anti-Clinton.

6. I've been trying to tell Obama supporters they are too lazy about the media
One of these days, they *will* turn on Obama and treat him as they do every other Dem, and it won't be pretty. I can't believe some of the right wing hacks who have been posted and cited here just because they were bashing Clinton.

And I'm not even a Clinton supporter either.

7. They are totally being pit bulls...and I applaud it!!!!
I'm an Obama supporter and I think that both candidates need to have
everything thrown at them.

They need to be tested, they need to be asked the tough questions and both
candidate need to be prepared to answer these questions and have substantial
answers.

We're talking about the leader of the free world here!

This ain't no spelling bee!

10. Thank You. I Find It To Be Disgusting. Media Should NEVER Act In Such Ways.
And I'm disgusted about how they're treating Obama as well, though they are clearly, as you say, going far harder on Hillary. But they're trying to embarrass BOTH of our candidates with total petty bullshit set-up questions, and it has really started to piss me off.

Tonight could've been a debate for the ages. Instead, MSNBC has completely fucked it up. Shame on them.

11. I think she isn't handling her questions well
Yes they are doing a number, but she just keeps stepping in it even deeper. She made herself look like an idiot on the Jewish thing, I don't know why she jumped in on that. He keeps taking their zings and hitting it out of the park, like he just did with that liberal senator question.

12. Look.. I agree TO AN EXTENT, but, we have to remember that Hillary brought a lot
of this on herself with her actions over the weekend.

13. that is baloney. She deserves an even playing field.
Obama has been negative against her since the beginning and just not being called on it by the media...who is so offensive .

14. Agreed
I'm anti-Clinton as well but she's gotten the short end of this.

That said she hasn't handled it well either. Presidents of the United States should be better able to handle Tim Russert and Brian Williams of all people.

21. Funny! I think Hillary handled all the fat face's questions well.
I think we all need to email MSNBC regarding Tim's bias..just like we did regarding Tweety's misogynistic anti-Hillary comments.

16. Bullshit
The corporate controlled media has no excuse whatsoever for the way it treats Dems. Fealty to a candidate has blinded far too many people here. Media manipulation used to be discussed in great detail on this site, yet now every right wing hack under the sun is quoted as gospel so long as they attack the other guy.

17. AMEN. Our mainstream media is shameful, corrupt, insipid and broken.
They're just as -- or even more responsible -- for our Iraqi adventurism and Bush's sense of invulnerability for his criminal acts.
