MSNBC is just too unfair and unbalanced for me.

1. I didn't listen, I had the commentators on mute, but they got the returns faster
and that was better for my anxiety level!

2. Sounds like a Fox soundbite to me - still its good to see someone who is not 'unafraid' to watch Fox
Although Juan Williams (Fox's main Dem contributor along with the equally liberal Mort Kondracke!) is so biased towards Hillary its ridiculous!

6. MSNBC is so biased it makes me ill.
I could not watch the spin this morning either. It amazes me how well Clinton did with these media outlets crowing for Obama 24/7.

8. CNN seemed more balanced...
and I usually watch MSNBC but it was way too obvious with Chris and Keith last night. Almost embrarassing... I really liked John King's interactive map thingy where he went state by state and broke it all down...interesting...especially MO where Obama just needed the cities and Clinton had the whole rest of the state!

11. They are trying to GORE Hillary.
I've noticed that the same tactics are not working as well on Hillary. She usually laughs and throws something right back. Like she said last night, the Repuke swiftboating is not going to work this time around.

7. MSNBC is worse than FOX in partianship against Hillary,
And that is saying a lot.

9. I am sad to admit I did also.
Funny how you can see the numbers for your self but the spin is crazy. CNN is my usual source, and it was down right sickening. I went to MSNBC, and Olberman was the only one making any sense, but he was biased as well. It is a friggen sad day when you have to turn to Faux news to get he least biased coverage. Today I am finding CNN with the volume off is working for me. I like seeing the numbers not the percentages.

10. Same here. I had forgotten what some of those "analysts" looked like.
I've had Fox Noise blocked since we went to cable from satellite, about two years now, but unblocked it last night since CNN is not any better than Tweety & Co. Couldn't take Fox for too long so C-Spam filled in.

12. I turned the TV off.
And sat down with a good book (Shock Doctrine). I don't have a dog in this fight anymore.
