Why MSNBC...why not Fox News?

[mckeown1128]

First off I think the comment about Clinton's daughter was WRONG.

That being said, why the hell is Clinton attacking MSNBC as opposed to Fox. MSNBC while corporate, is at least friendly to the left. Clinton should push some of that outrage to fox...which says much worse things about her.


I am just wondering why the outrage over MSNBC when their are much BIGGER fish to fry.

1. They needed an excuse to dodge debates on MSNBC and NBC.

I guess they never thought Obama would agree to any more, or else once the money started rolling in they decided they didn't need them anymore.

10. MSNBC is WORSE than Fox

They've been spewing vile propaganda for a month.

12. MSNBC is Tied to Microsoft -

They have a huge Interest in making sure a Clinton is not elected.

2. Maybe she doesn't want to upset her campaign contributer, Rupert Murdoch n/t

3. MSNBC has been attacking Clinton non-stop--that is why

the attacks are lies and distortions. Obama is crowned by MSNBC, and Clinton is attacked at every segement.

We all know that Fox if unfair. But MSNBC is just as bad as they are pretending to be fair.

4. Perhaps because Chelsea is her daughter ....

And defending a daughter being referred to thusly is high on the agenda of most mothers ....

Also: perhaps Hill views MSNBC as a more legitimate outlet, and is therefore more disturbed by this lack of decorum ....

5. Because they're financially tied to Fox News - Rupert Murdoch loves Hillary.

When it comes to politics, Murdoch, known in media circles as the “dirty digger,” is equally adaptable in pursuing his personal gain. The most loyal right-wing Tory and friend of Margaret Thatcher during the 1980s, as he built up his media holdings in Britain, he switched his loyalties to “New Labour” when he saw that Tony Blair could provide a fresh face for even more reactionary politics and was more than willing to further Murdoch’s interests in return for editorial backing. He made similar swings in his native Australia between the Labor and Liberal parties to further his efforts at monopolizing the print and broadcast media.

So, it should really come as no surprise that Murdoch is now emerging as a prominent backer of the Democratic US Senator from New York, Hillary Clinton. The Financial Times of London reported Tuesday that Murdoch will personally host a July fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton on behalf of his News Corp.

CBS News reported on the upcoming fundraiser with the provocative headline “Rupert Murdoch Loves Hillary Clinton.” It stated, “The mating ritual of the unlikely allies has been under way for months.”

11. You posted that sexist filth earlier today, and now this outrageous lie?

:hi:

6. Hillary's still working on getting a major donation from Murdock

Part of that is why she is silent on Fox's bias while making Rupert happy by lambasting the only real Democratic friendly channel we have.

Hey, when you're down and out you'll do a lot of disgusting things for money.

7. The Feminist groups attacked Imus too

Same groups, I've gotten the same bunch of emails. They only go after those who expose Hillary based on credible issues.

And yes it was still WRONG for him to say that. As WRONG as it was for Shaheen to insinuated Obama was a drug dealer.

[HughMoran]

8. Everybody knows Fox is biased. A lot of Dems watch MSNBC, so their image there is more important

Kinda obvious, not sure what all the roucous is about.

[lligrd]

9. Exactly.

I felt the same way about Imus. He was criticizing the administration on his show at that time. I'm all for calling them on the chit when they say it but let's not muzzle those on our side completely while letting the enemy spout off constantly.

13. cuz we expect Fox to attack her

stop with this principle bullshit, she is practical and expects fox to attack her, but they didn't even call chelsea a whore like MSNBC did, or at least the Clintons pimps. The media clearly hates the Clintons and I don't know why.
