MSNBC pundits SPINNING for Hillary before anybody even votes

[bigdarryl]

there marginalizing the Obama win IF it happens and i am getting sick of these pundfucks bringing up the fact that African Americans are in favor of Obama but yet they don't bring up the fact that theres a GENDER gap.

1. you have to be misunderstanding--they have never spun FOR

Clinton since...EVER!

3. Agree-you have it wrong

Of all the cable network pundits aside of Faux, MSNBC talking heads despise the Clintons and use every opportunity to bash her and promote the other candidates. Morning Joe and Mika are the worst, with Timmy and Chris not far behind.

7. so true. MIka keeps saying that Obama has done nothing negative

and he just keeps getting hammered by the evil Clintons. It is the same political ploy that Bush used against Gore--and it worked. Bush also had the media spinning for him.

5. Joe Scarborough wants Hillary to be our nominee so she can unite his party, the Republican party,

and he works mightily every day to promote her candidacy.

6. I heard them say this morning that if not enough white people vote

for Obama, then it's a loss for him no matter how big the margin he wins by. Say what? The black vote in SC represents 50% of the total vote but in last week's Republican primary, 96% of the people who voted were White. Does that even leave that many white people TO vote in the Democratic primary? More spin from the Clinton campaigns that makes it way magically on air to the media. Gee, wonder how that happens?

9. The media spins whatever story line is most controversial

That's how they "sell papers". Race tensions are an ideal story line for them. This is how they work:

Candidate A says "We can be proud of the Democratic Party, we represent America with an African American, a Woman and a Son of the South running for President."

The media notes an incident of race being injected into this contest. The media calls it "the race card". The media discusses how "the race card" is dominating the election. Every day media coverage is dominated by how "the race card" is dominating the election. The media expresses outrage and sorrow that a discussion of race is overshadowing valid issues in this election. Every day the media expresses outrage and sorrow that the candidates keep referring to race (often in response to media questions). The media attacks Democrats for shamelessly making race an issue in this election. Every day the media attacks Democrats shamelessly for making race an issue in this election.

Race becomes a significant issue in this election. The media endlessly congratulates itself for having keen political insights that allowed them to determin so quickly that race would dominate this election. Finally, when that has been milked dry, the media moves on to "noticing" another controversy that will hurt Democrats.

8. Let's see

Joe is attacking Bill Clinton as a racist, and he practically fellated John Edwards half an hour ago.

That's shilling for Clinton?
