MSNBC the new FOX
yeah, finally it happened, media whores whooping it up; it's no wonder the US always seems to get the wrong guy in office when promoted ad nauseam by a media outlet that has stooped further than Fox in biased reporting. Who looses--the American people, Obama is their designated darling and gets passes on almost everything; Clinton can't breath without being accused of stealing air; and McCain is just ignored.

Way to go MSNBC and NBC you successfully pulled it off-- I actually thought the media would learn from their mistakes giving Bush, Jr. passes about Iraq; you know, asking the hard questions; real reporting . . . Some one should actually do a expose on MSNBC and their totally sick reporting of "news".

2. No, no one has stooped further than Fox....ever.
And I worry about anyone who can say that with a straight face.

Seriously.

3. There's just two songs in me, and I just wrote the third
There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

A rich man once told me
Hey life's a funny thing
A poor man once told me
That he can't afford to speak
Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak 'cause
There's just two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

So I went to the President
And I asked old what's-his-name
Has he ever gotten writer's block
Or something like the same
He just started talking
Like he was on TV
If there's just two songs in ya, boy
Whaddaya want from me?
So I bought myself some denim pants
And a silver guitar
But I politely told the ladies
You'll still have to call me Sir
Because I have to keep my self-respect
I'll never be a star
Since there's just two songs in me
And this is Number Three

They Might Be Giants - Number Three

12. Yep
that about sums it up...

Give the Clinton's a break already. Isn't it enough the msnbc crowd and Obama supporters treat Hillary like they SHOULD treat Bush, Jr. or McCain. Obama's cheap shots at Bill Clinton and Hillary while praising Reagan is just too much . . .and Obama supporters wonder WHY their is a gap within our own party????:banghead:

8. Can we just skip to the end with this crap?
Ok Obama wins Clinton loses. Will you vote for Obama in the GE?

If the answer is anything but Yes then your time is better spent posting on other forums such as Clinton echo chambers.

MSNBC was been instrumental in exposing Bush to the general public. So if you have a problem with them Exposing Clinton then you mise well use your energy elseware.

Many people here support MSNBC. Clinton and Obama alike. If you want to help alienate them and turn them into GOP lovers then you can do so without my support.

10. Sucking Air? Is That What She Was Attempting To Act Out?

11. "Who looses" "Clinton can't breath"
That is quite the case you've made. You're a regular Johnnie Cochran. Whoa!

And it's do "an" expose', not a expose'

15. You apparently don't give the American people any credit for intelligence or critical thinking.
Can't they apply independent judgment to what they see and hear on MSNBC? After all, there is almost an infinite number of alternatives to MSNBC for anyone who can either flip a cable TV dial or log on to a website on the Internet.
