MSNBC running FREE ads for Clinton AGAIN: It must be time to vote!
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 03:39 PM by Skwmom
Once again MSNBC is running Clinton attack ads against Obama and also pro Clinton Ads (the one with Angelou). Earlier, they said they were going to run an Anti-Obama and Anti-Clinton ad. So they ran Clinton's anti Obama ad (the one about the gas tax and something else,can't remember what) and the Anti-Clinton ad was a couple of very short snippets (and it wasn't even an anti-Clinton ad). They then gave up pretending any type of fairness and then just ran the anti-Obama and pro-Clinton ads.

What a joke. Campaign finance reform is a MUTE issue when the corporate media can be a free media source for one candidate.

Stop with the Obama is outspending Clinton spin. The corporate media ad spots that she gets for free are worth millions.

16. I think the elite would rather have the wolf hiding in a sheep outfit...
looking over the sheeple than they would having the wolf (McCain) watching over them. The sheeple would pay allot more attention to the wolf than they would the wolf hiding in the sheep outfit (Clinton) because they could further their agenda quicker while no one was paying attention.

25. Some of them actually like her.
She benefits from being based in the media centers of NYC and DC.

3. They're still trying to get her to come on the "Hardball College Tour" ...
Either that or they still think they have to atone for the "pimping out
Chelsea" affair ... Their bias against Obama since PA has been sickening
and unwarranted (imho).

7. It is unlikely Hillary will ever go on Tweety
Tweety has had it in for the Clintons ever since Bill wouldn't hire him as press secretary.

11. I agree, he hates them.
but Hillary was more than happy to bring up Chris Matthews asking the Texas mayor to name an Obama accomplishment to no avail, during a debate. She should return the favor to him.


Chris has been all over Hillary lately, I definitely think it has to do with him wanting to run for office in PA.

4. They want Hillary.......
the same media that took us to war, assisted in Bush's stealing our White House in 2000, assisted greatly in the swiftboating of Kerry in 2004, and now this.

WE ARE LIVING 1984! IT IS ALMOST TOO LATE!

9. They are salivating at the prospect of having juicy
stories for 4-8 more years.

Obama will just be boring, getting the job done, cleaning up after Bush. :wtf:

5. We need to write to MSNBC and QUIT WATCHING THEM!!!
If nobody was watching this shit, they would stop it. I only watch Keith now. Let's show them we are serious and quit watching, in protest of what they are doing. That goes for their advertizers too! What's the word I'm trying to think of... :wtf:

14. Who is their main advertizer?
We need to let them know how they really feel.

Morning Joe --

Tweety ---

We need email addresses and names of products.

I don't think they care who watches them, they care if those products aren't sold.

10. I turned it off earlier, their unabashed whoring for HRC
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 03:55 PM by 48percenter
today was appalling.

Does anyone think this is good for our prospects in the Fall? I sure don't think so. 4-8 more years of Clintons and their drama in the White House?

27. My post is not dishonest (I'm not a Clinton wanna be).
Edited on Fri May-02-08 07:34 AM by Skwmom
As I pointed out they ran a SHORT SNIPPET of an Obama ad, calling it anti-Clinton which was REALLY a stretch.

Yesterday they were running the Clinton ad by the NC gov w/out running an Obama ad. The pro Clinton push by the media is ridiculous. For campaign finance reform to have ANY meaning this must be changed.

All the corporations care about is having a president who is pro corporate. With Clinton and McCain there is no way they could lose, no matter the outcome.

29. Fairness Doctrine
This is the reason we need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine so media outlets like MSNBC can't do this sort of thing.
