OK, Hillary Folks, We Really Need To Start Calling Out MSNBC
because this cheerleading is absurd. They've now spent half an hour of airtime with all of them trying to brainstorm how Obama can win this.

We made Tweety apologize on national television - we can also register our disapproval of this blatant bias.

1. At this point they're blatant about it
My guess is after this primary is over a whole bunch of very telling internal memos will start trickling out.

3. Fox "News" looks sane compared to GENBC.
Keith Olbermann is turning out to be quite the little schmuck/bastard.
:puke:

15. um
I hate the numbers games the TV plays. Just for my own edification, I ran a spreadsheet given the delegates per state and the percentage splits as reported. And if it were purely proportional within the states, Obama comes out first among equals by just a couple delegates. It was interesting and very informative to look at how important each particular state is. I'm sure the county breakdown may change the delegates awarded, but its still an interesting exercise,

6. I turned them off early in the evening--CNN has superior graphics
and results. And I didn't notice nearly the bias on CNN as on MSNBC. I used to like Rachel Maddow but I am sick of her shilling for Obama.

10. You know
Your username would indicate you would appreciate fair coverage.

Are you so full of the Clinton hate that you think people who don't want to watch anti-Clinton biased coverage only want cheerleading?

Nice logic skills.

9. Even Olberman
And Rachel Maddow - two people I used to love, are full of the Clinton hate.

I am not and never have been a Clinton supporter but I am sick to death of the hate Hillary campaign, both in the MSM and here on DU.

Shit, I've even found myself defending Clinton here on DU. I can't believe it. At this rate, I'll end up voting for her instead of Edwards.

I cannot believe two of my favorite journalists are stooping so low.

11. You think "she" deserves special treatment? Everyone tries to figure out a way the underdog could
possibly win...and if there is no feasible way, they start guessing when the guy should drop out.

This is the way it ALWAYS is. Billery is no different, but I guess you think she deserves her own special rules.

not even Olbermann.

14. if
If you think that all of a sudden Maddow & Olbermann are shilling for 1 candidate, when for months and months you didn't think so, i'm pretty sure it's you.

16. Republican owned right wing mainstream corporate media
is extremely biased against Hillary. They said she should get out of the race before New Hampshire! Even wonder why the Republica right wing mainstream corporate media is so biased against her? It's so obvious they are against her that it stinks. Never forget who owns them.
