Hahahaha MSNBC "journalists" are defensive because she criticized their bias

[ruggerson]

You're wrong, David, Keith, Tim and Tweety, people WILL understand.

Anyone with eyes and ears who has been watching them for months.

Good for Hillary. She fucked em up.

[Occam Bandage]

1. LOL. Yes, good for Hillary. I love when she gets bitter and whiny. That pillow line was beautiful.

[PretzelWarrior]

29. every time you guys have Mr. Koolaid in your posts I bust up laughing

I mean how META humor is that? FIrst, someone has to know "drinking koolaid" is a Jim Jones-like cult following. then they have to know that your picture is of the Koolaid mascot...

it is too clever.

[sniffa]

2. *snort*

:rofl:

[ruggerson]

5. Need an inhaler?

[sniffa]

6. I may if you keep this up

:rofl:

[ruggerson]

9. You roll around on your back a lot

[Occam Bandage]

He's just leading you on.

[ruggerson]

14. He should stop trying

[sniffa]

18. No problem

:hi:

[sniffa]

15. I do

when I read things that make me :rofl:

I enjoy ping-pong but I'll probably drop out soon, as I'm going to bed shortly, and I'll be offline till tomorrow night.

I could have a 5:15 A.M. return serve, but I doubt DU will be on level 3 at that point. :hi:

[ruggerson]

21. sweet dreams

have a good day at work tomorrow

;-)

[Windy]

3. Well, that's really about the only postive for her out of the debate.

I'm sorry, but she really didn't do all that well tonight.

[Johnny__Motown]

4. It still makes her look weak and "whining"

[Oleladylib]

8. Ah..but if it was HEMALE..he'd be strong and mighty

[Skittles]

12. can you believe this shit?

:puke:

[Johnny__Motown]

34. No, if a man did it he would look weak also, it has nothing to do with gender

it has to do with complaining about something that you can't do anything about

[mtnsnake]

16. Ya know what though? She doesn't give a shit how she looks...because she stuck up for what's right

I'm glad she had the guts to bring it up.

[Johnny__Motown]

35. If it motivates her supporters it may have been a good move, just didn't look Presidential to me

But I am Pro 'Bama. So I don't really count anyways. Even if Michigan holds a caucus to fix the primary problem she won't get my vote. Maybe it will get her someone else's

[HeraldSquare212]

7. do you need a pillow?

[TheDonkey]

10. It made her look like a weak whiney baby. Really embarrassing for her. A few booes could be heard

she blew it. Another "Xerox" moment.

[NDambi]

11. AGREED

[MadBadger]

13. Please, she criticized her perceived bias from CNN and blamed it on MSNBC

[ruggerson]

19. MSNBC has been far worse

I'm glad they got publicly called on it. It's not going to change anything either way, but it's nice to see them all flustered and angry about it.

[Control-Z]

31. Agreed

CNN sounds almost balanced, lately, compared to MSNBC.

[sykalla2]

17. MSNBC Biased??!?!?!? F That!

--- "But doesn't it seem like Chelsea's sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?" --- Schuster

---- "the reason she's a US Senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around." Matthews

----- "Which of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow. Hillary is evil. Hillary is evil. or Hillary is evil" -- Olbermann

[SaveOurDemocracy]

20. Welcome to DU

:hi:

That's nothing compared to some of the shit you'll read here. It's the 'stupid season' at DU.

[Berry Cool]

22. Oh yeah, like THAT's a real Olbermann quote.

And welcome to DU.

[sykalla2]

23. Might as well be....

[grantcart]

27. i wonder who he used to be?

[ruggerson]

30. Evidently not

[Control-Z]

32. I've lost respect

for KO. He has been biased.

[Awsi Dooger]

37. Same here; Keith Olbermann has been the epitome of disgraceful

Look, I've championed him along with almost everybody on this site. It was incredible to tune into an hour like that, sandwiched among all the tunnel vision right wing crap.

Now he's managed the same pattern, the tendency that follows him around from job to job. Once he achieves a level of success and notoriety, the smugness soars and it overwhelms and betrays the competence level, and he becomes a sad shadow of his former self.

A year or more ago he was devastating, defining Bush and Co. with their own words and in brilliant presentation. The Special Comments were as close to remarkable as anything I've seen on cable political programs. Then he got cocky and the tone became snide and disrespectful. Along with juvenile tactics like "Fox Noise Channel" and "Bill Orally." When the facts are on your side you don't need word twisting put downs like that. They only define and diminish your agenda, beyond any impact. Now when he condescendingly wails against, "Mr. Bush..." it's so pathetic I have to turn the channel and shake my head. It's like a male version of Nancy Grace.

Admittedly I'm a Hillary supporter, above Obama. Originally I preferred Edwards. So let's get that in the open. But I really don't think it's slanted my assessment of this in the slightest. I've lived in Las Vegas for 20+ years, betting sports all year. You need an ability to balance in that environment, sensing the weaknesses of your favorite teams and betting against them all the time. I'm hardly anti-Obama. I simply have more confidence Hillary would be an excellent president.

Olbermann is the most blatantly biased cable analyst I've seen this cycle. When you tape show after show and watch them consecutively it's surreal what he gets away with, in terms of demeaning themes toward Hillary, particularly at the outset of every program. The facial expressions and tone are outright contempt. I've seen more balance in a one-legged chair.

The most obvious example was when he interviewed her after a major event a month or so ago. Not a debate or primary night. I forget the occasion but every outlet was covering it. Hillary chortled after an Olbermann question and he cut her off immediately with, "Beyond the laughter..." I absolutely couldn't believe it. It was the epitome of disrespect. Hillary wasn't mocking him or dodging the question. She merely injected her familiar awkward laugh before answering and instead of smiling alongside or waiting for her response, Olbermann rudely and unnecessarily injected himself in harsh tone, and changed the entire feel of the interview, and for the worse.

He summons the same familiar guests who agree with his diatribe, namely Dana Milbank. Seemingly every transition from segment to segment is an excuse to bash Hillary. But I will ease in one respect. When Olbermann includes a guest who is not normally on his show, like Dee Dee Myers this week, he attaches the same anti-Hillary slant to his questioning, but in less sarcastic tone and if they don't agree or take it elsewhere, Olbermann let's them continue and doesn't feel the need to challenge them. At those brief diversions he almost threatens competent journalism.

It was high hilarity on Monday when Olbermann was awkwardly defensive about the Saturday Night Live skit. He desperately said, "maybe they were trying to be funny." Meanwhile, SNL political skits have been a staple of MSNBC programming for a decade. Matthews runs them often, and every time when he's the subject, always accurately asserting that SNL political skits are reality based, an absurd exaggeration of the fundamental truth. For Olbermann to deny the premise demonstrates how far he has fallen, to Monty Python absurdity, to name a show he has fondness for.

Sorry for the marathon post. But one more thing, the guy has no business co-hosting the major event political coverage alongside Matthews. Someone with that type of relentless demonstrated opinion belongs on the commentary shows, not a high profile venue where Democratic/Republican outcomes are the focus.

[rodeodance]

24. Heard the 1st 2, but is KO one really sucks! --he has gone the bias route last few months also.

[jillan]

28. Worst Person in the World - Hillary Clinton.

you know he has been dying to say that!

[jillan]

25. A BIG welcome to DU!

[my3boyz]

26. Oh please...Tweety looked PISSED that Obama did not crumble

He kept saying but Hillary this and Hillary that. Then he tried to smash Michelle Obama again. Oh and he also tried to criticize Obama about using Federal funds for the election.

[FlyingSquirrel]

38. Tweety's been going off the deep end even for him.

And they are all going to pile on and pile on about the Federal Funding thing 'cause OMFG for once it's not gonna be a "fair fight" (like it ever is) and the DEMOCRATS will have the big money advantage. AND THEY BETTER KEEP IT.

[Seabiscuit]

33. They are so shrill and unapologetic about the crap they throw at Hillary, I'm

surprised that Keith has joined in at times. I'm glad Hillary called them a-holes on it tonight. They deserved it especially Tweety & Russert who seem to have an orgasm everytime they criticize Hillary.

[maximusveritas]

36. No, she came off as whining

Why did she agree to the debate if she was just going to complain off the start?
