Example of MSM bias: guess who Matthews has on as a Philadelphia journalist?

[jackson_dem]

The wife of Obama supporter Rep. Chaka Fattah, who Obama endorsed over the agent of change and reformer Michael Nutter for mayor. Yes. Of all Philadelphia journalists Matthews happened to choose an Obamite's wife to appear on his panel. No MSM bias? :eyes:

1. It's hard to find journalist that don't support Obama

Journalists are very knowledgeable of the FACTS. That's why they supported Kerry over Bush and now Obama over Clinton.

[Jim Sagle]

2. REAL journalists don't support ANYBODY, they just report the news and let US do the supporting.

Or is that not simple enough for you?

4. wrong reply

9. Here's something a little more complex

See if you able to keep up. Journalist are people, they are naturally going to support people. Now a GOOD (which is the correct word to use, since "real" simply means you get paid to be one) sets aside their personal preferences when they are doing their job.

[Jim Sagle]

10. No, the correct word is REAL, not GOOD.

A journalist who supports a candidate through his work is not a real journalist, even if he gets paid. He's a fake. You're the one that needs to keep up.

12. Do you have proof to back up this rather tenuous claim?

After all being the wife of someone, does not prove that one's work is bias. While I know camp Clinton loves the whole "guilt by association" concept, it's an intellectually dishonest approach.

[Jim Sagle]

16. Guilt by association makes complete sense if they assocation is marriage. Duhh!!!!

5. That's why they did such an effective job revealing the facts on Iraq in 2002.

6. The MSM supported Bush, especially General Electric...

[Maddy McCall]

8. Wrong. Journalists are supposed to be objective.

[NJmaverick]

11. Here is something a little more complex

Journalist are people and they will, as people tend to do, develop personal opinions as to who the best candidate is. However when a journalist does their job they should be objective. So just because a journalist supports one canidate or the other, doesn't mean they are incapable of doing a good job.

If you look at most demographic break downs of the candidate's support, it's quite clear the better educated you are, the more likely you are to support Obama. Which makes a lot of sense. Since journalists tend to be better educated than the general public, it would stand to reason that they are more likely to support Obama.

19. Now thats funny. Thanks for the laugh n/t.

3. MSM bias?

Yeah sure, we saw a good example of that in the last debate. If anything the MSM has overcompensated because of past charges of bias against Clinton, now the bias is against Obama.

[jackson_dem]

7. You're telling me GE couldn't find a Philly journalist whose spouse hasn't endorsed O?

The debate was normal. The front runner always gets hammered--how do you think O got into the lead?

[NJmaverick]

13. Guilt by association?

[jackson_dem]

17. She was shilling for O on the show, besides a legit org. should have found an unbiased person

If Obama wins her husband benefits. She has a horse in this race.

[Upton]

14. The debate wasn't "normal"

if that had been Clinton getting all those BS questions you would be complaining of "MSM bias."

[EffieBlack]

15. You mean, like ABC having a "journalist" moderate a debate involving his former boss' wife?

Or like Tim Russert last week presented Jim Carville as a "Democratic strategist"although he is supporting only one of the Democrats?

I don't buy the "guilt by association" argument. Unless you have some evidence that Renee-Chenault-Fattah has shown a bias in her coverage because her husband has endorsed one of the candidates, your outrage is somewhat misplaced.

[jackson_dem]

18. You didn't watch the show. She was pro-Obama, which isn't surprising

You mentioned Carville. There are other "Democratic strategists" who appear on shows and are Obama supporters, such as Donna Brazile.

[cali]

20. So is Larry King biased by having Hillary on on the eve of the Primary?

Another faux outrage turd of an OP from you. It's neverending, your crap.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. Next thing you know, a former Clinton aide will moderate a debate.

Oh, wait...

[TML]

22. You had Stephanopoulos & Gibson on Wed. night

It's our turn. :-)

[Condem]

23. Jesus, Jackson, why so uptight?

All the political "analysts" are calling for a 10 point win for Hillary.
