MSNBC---Becoming the Next Fox News?

I have commented in the past how certain people in the main-stream media try to pass their individual opinions off as fact and distort what people say in order to push their own ideology in an attempt to influence the American people.  The nation is already well aware of the neocons at Fox News, who revel in their own schemes.

 

Now we find out, during this Presidential primary season, that MSNBC's Chris Mathews and Keith Olberman have been emulating the Fox News crew in trying to shape people's opinion concerning the candidates who are seeking their party's nomination.  It is growing more and more obvious concerning the Democratic candidates.  They have already chosen sides and stack the news with inaccurate and one-sided stories about the candidate they have decided is not worthy of their party's nomination. 

 

Many of their journalist friends, who appear on their shows as guests, just go with the flow of the host and offer nothing in the form of true journalism or an opinion of their own.  Facts and truth have escaped Mathews and Olberman.  Their time is spent wallowing in their own vomit and their chosen candidate.

 

David Shuster has been suspended because of a crude remark he made concerning a candidate's daughter, instead of living up to his responsibility as a news journalist.  Olberman had to apologize on air not to long ago for an inaccurate quote, and Mathews has had to do the same thing.  If MSNBC had any respect for the people's right to know the facts, they would order Olberman to put himself, Mathews, and Shuster on the screen next time he shows the segment dealing with the world's worse, worser, and worst.  These 3 supposed journalists have no shame.  MSNBC needs to step up to the plate and provide the American public with fair and balanced coverage of this election so that the American people can make an educated vote concerning whom our next President will be.  

POLITIDOSE's Beat The Press

Back by popular demand, (or simply because I want it back, you decide), it's POLITIDOSE's Beat the Press.  I have often been critical of the main stream media and pundits for their clear biased against Sen. Hillary Clinton and for whomever appears as her chief rival at a given time.  In this edition of Beat the Press, I'm going to look at two instances where MSNBC has been clearly biased against Hillary in recent weeks.  

First off, here is a video montage showing Hardball's Chris Matthews belittling Hillary Clinton and being just plain rude while gushing over the Republican candidates and Democrat Barack Obama: 

And it was just yesterday when one of my favorite MSNBC analysts, David Shuster, made an outright disrespectful comment of Chelsea Clinton, saying that Chelsea was being "pimped out" by her mom to campaign for her.  Here's the video: 

Seriously, shouldn't children of politicians be left alone?  Chelsea isn't out there attacking Obama or making policies.  She is campaigning on behalf of her mother, something I believe everyone can respect.  Just imagine the outrage if this comment would have been made about Obama's girls.  No matter how you look at it, this was completely inappropriate on behalf of Shuster and MSNBC.  

On the flip side, I would like to commend MSNBC anchors and analysts Dan Abrams, Rachel Maddow, and Pat Buchannan for what is mostly fair, balanced coverage and analysis of this campaign.  Chris Matthews, David Shuster, Tucker Carlson, and as of late, Keith Olbermann could all learn from them.
