MSNBC PRO Clinton/ANTI Obama AD
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 09:57 AM by Skwmom
This morning they have been running a pro-Hillary/anti-Obama ad (not sure if it was run on other days).

THE Clinton supporter (a former military person) is for Clinton b/c she can do the job (he has seen her do the job during Bill Clinton's administration - I forget the exact wording).

BUT

Obama Congressman Patrick Murphy (who served in Iraq) is ONLY FOR OBAMA b/c Obama SUPPORTED HIM in his congressional run. He should complain to MSNBC about this misleading ad.

This is B.S. and is a blatant PRO CLINTON ANTI OBAMA AD.

The same with the wrestling footage they have been showing all morning.

What is the dollar value of these ads? Clinton is NOT BEING OUTSPENT 3 to 1.

1. I used to watch MSNBC all the time
I saw that too. I had to just turn the channel to CNN this morning. MSNBC is so obviously favoring Clinton-I hope it backfires on them. They are losing viewers with this-this one for sure.

2. I am not sure why you included MSNBC in the subject line
According to federal law a station cannot refuse any reasonable ad from a candidate.

7. It's not a paid ad. It's a FREE AD from MSNBC who has a MAJOR CONFLICT of interest
in this election.

3. LOL
The campaigns are paying MSNBC to run those ads. MSNBC isn't doing it themselves.

4. m$nbc used to be my channel of choice. Now I pretty much only tune in
for Olbermann. I can't stand that JoeScar and PatBuch are on m$nbc throughout the day. :mad: I've turned off the teevee in favor of the radio and am much happier. :-)

5. Are you talking about an ACTUAL advertisement,
or "news" that is SO fucking biased that it might as well be a paid advertisement?

8. It was a FREE media ad spot that was put together and run
again and again.

No surprise to me.

9. The DOLLAR value of "free" Clinton ads from CNN, ABC, MSNBC is in the MILLIONS of
dollars.

13. Yeah Obama has been absent from the media.
I only saw him on the Daily Show, the local news, the cable news, a WWE broadcast and that was just last night!
