Every time MSNBC does the Clinton-Meek Story today...
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 11:52 AM by Kurt_and_Hunter
They lead with saying that Clinton told Meek to get out of the race. Then they show a clip of Meek saying that never happened, and then they note that Clinton says it never happened. Then they talk about how Crist did tell Meek to get out of the race.

No evidence is offered in the story that the Clinton-Meek exchange happened beyond the reporter's statement in the first line of the story that it did. A host of evidence is offered that it did not. Then the reporter ends by recapping his initial assertion.


The facts of the matter aside, it's a damn strange approach to journalism.

3. Meek Had No Problem

Meek had no problem throwing three Cuban Democrats under the bus when they were running against his Republic pals.

Come here and join the fun:

2. you're right
It's been happening with almost every report, print and teevee. It's rather disgusting how they repeat republican lies, over and over, as truth.

4. MSNBC is worse than Fox
They're sneaky about it. They cultivate "liberal" and act otherwise.

5. CNN is running that Clinton asking Meek to drop out shows
how "scared" the Democrats are about this election. what I can't understand is, this was a republican seat. In most cases they expected a republican to win, if a Democrat could pull it out good. But why in the hell are the Democrats "scared". I think the republicans are starting to run scared because they believed the media and the republican poll companies hype.

6. Except for the fact that Clinton never asked Meek to drop out. What a bizarre definition of "News"
reporting - keep going with a proven lie as if it Fact. Sounds rather "Fox News-ish"
