Did Hillary Clinton strong-arm MSNBC into an illegal campaign contribution?
I have never seen a news organization (FOX aside) run the bio of just one candidate on an election night.

My question is, was MSNBC asked to run the Clinton bio in a quid-pro-pro?

I think that if this is the case, it is despicable.

3. It doesn't have to be true, does it?
Just another smear.

4. My digital cable guide says "Deadly Encounters" is supposed to be on
so they weren't even scheduled to show "Headliners and Legends," much less this particular episode.

6. First "Mind of Manson", now "Deadly Encounters"
Is MSNBC trying to imply something here?

8. Why not email them and ask rather than make this up?

10. This is a legitimate question.
If they don't play Obama's bio, then there will be a lot of people asking why.

And there is precedence.

On another note...

15. Yes, and a complaint should be filed with the FEC.
If they ran the bio today to deal with her bitching about Schuster, it's an illegal act and should be criminally prosecuted.
