I am so glad Media Matters exists. Hopefully they can help with NBC bias against Clinton.
Source: Media Matters

Summary: MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said of Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign: "They are at war against African-Americans and now they are at war against the Democratic Party." As evidence, Scarborough and Bloomberg News columnist Margaret Carlson falsely claimed that the Clinton campaign "sued the Democratic Party" about caucus sites in Nevada. In fact, the Clinton campaign was not a party to the lawsuit.

Just shows you how off-balance the media is.

5. Awwww...poor little Freida5. Media beating up on your girl?
Tough sh*t. What you are blind to is the FACT that your "girl" is a DINO/DLC corporate shill who will only perpetuate the media bias you so ironically decry.

11. have you heard hillary's latest and possibly sleaziest move yet?
she wants the michigan and florida delegates to be allowed to be counted at the convention- even tho, and after ALL the candidates pledged not to campaign in those two states, because they flauted party rules in regard to scheduling primaries too early.
hillary was on the ballot in michigan, edwards and obama weren't, and now hillary has been campaigning in florida.

she sure has a big set of balls on her, it would appear.

14. Considering Margaret Carlson's Previous Bullshit (esp. re: Al Gore in 2000)
We should all give a damn.

It will be your candidate next.

7. how very sad that grown men (and women) who call themselves honest, integral, moral,
and whatever else other virtue there exists in this world and in the dictionaries of the world, are really nothing more than just spin and smear kings who do anything to get a pocketfull of dollars and their lopsided truth or plain out and out lies on the radar while keeping truth buried under an avalance of filthy lies.

shame on the usual suspects.

10. IF the other candidate had 1/10 of the hate and vile and lies
posted, spew and said about him he would explode. Hillary does a darn good job and it is hard to fight the lies. They still spread them. But no one can give a link, tell us the article and anything all they do is spew spew spew.

12. NBC bias? Try WHOLE MEDIA bias
it seems that not just NBC, but the entire media hates the Clintons. He was the most popular president in recent history, but all the media does is tash Billary. WHY? They seem to like Bush better than them, and why? Because we had wars and deficits with Bush? Hello, Bill Clinton balanced the budget without one vote of Republican support, took thousands of illegal handguns off the street, and DID NOT LET COMMERCIAL JETS HIT BUILDINGS DURING HIS PRESIDENCY! But nooo, all they do is attack the Clinton record against terrorism. And they act like everything he did or hillary did was political. its such bullshit. he and hillary are real patriots. just because they didn't fight in the vietnam war does not mean they are any less genuine than John McCain.

15. Hmm
I wonder if they will call the media out for all of the outlets MASSIVE bias agaisnt Kucinich and other progressive candidates. Really I don't want to hear either Hillary or Obama complain about bias in the media until the GE. Both of them recieved a two year press honeymoon of speculation and constant references in regards to '08.


Of course after the primaries are over I will be more than happy to hear about any bias in the media agaisnt those two candidates.
