Alex Witt/MSNBC... More Obvious Bias
About 15 minutes ago, while reporting on The Boy King EEEEIIIIdiot's 7% drop in approval rating, Alex Witt added a CAVEAT!!!

Stating that this is not a scientific poll and giving reason WHY they may have dropped, Schiavo case, the Economy, the War and then THIS... it should be noted that MORE Democrats were polled than Repukes!!!!

WTF??? Aren't these polls usually made up of a broad spectrum of ALL sides??? If ever there was evidence of MSM "covering" for The EEEIIIdiot, this ranks at the TOP!!

We need to write the station and let them know of this apparent breach of BALANCE!! I Am, I hope all of you will too!

2. I emailed MSNBC.com yesterday
about the obvious slant to their coverage on the main page of the website. for the past 2 or 3 days, their homepage has had the most one-sided pictures and headlines regarding the Schiavo case.

So I emailed to let them know that I have stopped watching their cable TV channel, and that now I would use their website less for my news.

3. Well I Think We Need To Keep This KICKED!!
I haven't watched much of CNN or MSNBC at all, but I wanted to know what Greer was going to rule. When I heard he add that Caveat I was so incensed!

There once was a question asked here at DU about HOW we got our news during the late 60's and early 70's regarding Viet Nam and all the killing of our leaders. We had an underground then, BUT we didn't have anyone controlling the MSM to the overwhelming extent we do now!

We've just GOT to keep the PRESSURE ON!!!

5. Funny, 100% of the Republicans I know who voted for Bush are opposed to
what he is doing on the economy, the War on Iraq, the budget & deficit, and Schiavo Case intervention.....Guess I better find some more Republicans to poll and ask their opinion in order to get a more "balanced" opinion....

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the approval ratings are lower for Bush and probably without the "real" bias that exists towards the Bush administration, his approval rating is closer to 25%,not 45%...

8. Jeb Bush is so screwed...he's got the Pitch-forked Peasants at the door w/
torches demanding action and if he doesn't do anything they are coming for him....and if he does take action as they are demanding, the other 90% of the population is coming for his ass....

Schadenfreude baby.....:evilgrin:

10. I remember emailing management there telling them it might be a
good idea to have her stop wearing her golden cross when reporting on the Iraq invasion. Duh. It was gone the next day. (I think this was around the same time * called our war there a "crusade")
