Yep, attack hillary for stating the truth and getting sick...But, ignore all the scandals and insults dirty Trump has done.

Our media is screwed up.

is a weak supporter of Hillary. He is center right.

Chris Hayes occasionally makes the point that no one asks for evidence that, for example, Hillary is a liar.
Let's hope Hayes and Rachel are more neutral at least, this evening.

NBC Universal gave the Trump so called foundation 500k in the late Nineties. And you wonder what and why this POS is all in with the Con Job. Little grift here and a little grift there.

to her?" Has this question been asked of any MALE candidates by the press? Even when out of control Donald T. continues to go off the rails, did the press pound on his surrogates with this question? Sounds sexist to me. Like she is the little woman and needs to be treated like a child and "Told no". WTF? This is pissing me off!!!!!

even for most of the evening. All msnbc and cnn talkers are going negative on Hillary. What gets me is the women are just as misogynist as the men. Yet, most have said they have gone to work sick.

I just don't know what has happened to this country. Do all these 'reporters'/hosts really believe what they are saying or do they have marching orders from the station owners that it is anti-Hillary and always a passing grade for Trump?
Where is the outrage about the washpost article on his breaking the law by giving payouts to AGs and others in public office? Even the rest of washpost articles are not giving H a break. I am just sick of all this.

if Hillary's 'basket' comment would make a difference to voters. What voters? Those who were always going to vote for Trump?
Why does no one ever express concern about Hillary's voters??? We are never, ever mentioned.

... we're lucky that they have anyone sane. I believe – no evidence – that the corporate masters are now making clear that there are new sheriffs in town. If anyone has the inside dope, we should get out the word.

Yesterday someone called for breaking up the MSM. That and taking back the FCC are top priorities.

Maddow, Hayes and Odonnel are progressive intellectuals who are mainly to the left of the Clintons/Hillary, thus their support is not always reliable.

Joy is the voice of the typical 'common sense' Democrat, i.e. center-left Clinton/Obama type Dem, and has been mostly pro-Hillary throughout the primaries and general.

Matthews (who is a Clinton hater) is outdated - he thinks he is the voice of the typical Dem, but really his conservative center-right type Dem only exists in places like PA and OH.

It was such a relief to watch him after the what the rest of the media's been doing. I haven't watched any news at all because it's too disgusting to watch them pick at Clinton like vultures.

of the media narratives, by having daily talking points, and putting much tougher surrogates on these shows.

What you'll notice, is that on many of these shows you have fierce Trump partisans, and then for the Dem side there are people who are simply generic Dems who may or may not be fans of the Clintons. This is bullshit. We need fierce and tough Clinton/Obama partisans in the media, like James Carville, Paul Begala, David Brock, Howard Dean, David Plouffe, Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank, etc - who are sharp and tough and know what they're doing.
