I agree with author that MSNBC had more potent coverage on these issues than FOX. FOX seems to be trying to re-evaluate itself in light of Obama’s election. It wouldnt make much sense for them to continue in the same vein after the election, but I havent been really paying much attention – post election burn out on the media.
Maddox is naive when she talks about rhetoric from the Primary as being any real obstacle to Hillary accepting the nomination to SoS. In fact what Hillary pointed out in the Primary was true, so Obama would do well to select her. Kobuchar pointing out how the Clintons have worked so hard for Obama during the ge puts it all in much better perspective.

I’m also conflicted about Hillary being SOS. I have heard and read several reports about the possiblity and it’s curious no one questions her qualifications when the same people just a few months ago were saying the opposite. I would feel better about the future if she were in a position to keep things real (unlike Powell or Rice), but why should I believe he will listen to her? I will not watch MSNBC or CNN again, ever. Chris Mathews thinks he is going to “make this presidency successful” and I don’t know how anyone else interprets what he said, but to me it means he will not tell the truth about Obama if it is negative. We watch FOX now. We don’t have high expectations for them, but some of the shows have been remarkably “Fair and Balanced” this past year. Andrea Mitchell looked sick. She is probably envisioning going to the State Department and getting no answers to her questions. I won’t watch Meet the Press and Rachel Maddow is a traitor to her gender and everything the Democratic Party was supposed to stand for. I will grant NOQUARTER to any of these people.

Apart from being highly insulting to the vast majority of the people who have posted above (who, unlike James of San Jose are intelligent and perceptive enough to recognize a biased hypocrite when they see one) Jame’s post is so full of devious logic and skewed perspective that it’s no wonder he identifies with the Beast With No Name. She was totally unbalanced in her coverage of the election. After the Biden-Palin debate you could see her facial muscles straining in her effort to crow that Biden had overwhelmingly trounced Palin, when any unbiased observer could have seen that Palin gave a very good account of herself and was more polished and straghtfoward than Biden. James writes: QUOTE “There is an oblivious and stubborn refusal to see the illogic in the arguments. “Obama is a Marxist, Socialist, Black Nationalist, Secret Muslim.” is a statement that falls apart from its own internal contradictions. It is absolutely impossible for the caricature of Obama that is drawn in this blog to exist in the real world. …” UNQUOTE The consistent message of all Obama opponents has been “Will the real Obama please stand up because your promises to different groups don’t add up.” The fact is, Obama DID have very real associations with some very shady characters and he lied about it.

Grumpy – “ignorant Brit” is an oxymoron! We are all brilliant – and we don’t have accents, either.

Andrea Mitchell is married to Alan Greenspan who admitted he didn’t properly perform his duties as Fed Chairman and therefore allowed the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle to fester. These people are all in this together. I keep holding onto hope that Hillary knows what she is doing and will not let America crash and burn, hell I am reduced to hoping George Bush has a plan to stop this madness, but the hope is failing fast and reality is kicking in.

Our diarist was quite crafty knowing the attention and discussion that would ensue just mentioning anyone from MSM but especially MSNBC . And one of the biggest Hillary bashers.

I didn’t view the video not interested but read the comments here and agree .

Bronwyns Harbor I’m sure you are not surprised by the responses but thank you none the less!

What damage did Obama and RM and her ilk do to the Clintons…Well I was listening to a Right Wing radio show a couple days ago..It was mentioned that Hillary gave a speech and the response from the AA in the audience was very tepid because of hard feelings from the racism she and Bill showed during the Primaries against Obama.

Has anyone taken any of that back. Does RM and her buddies care that they have engraved the word “Racist” on the Clintons ? It was all lie and they know it or don’t want to admit they know it because it helped to get their guy elected.

I will never , ever forgive any of them for that.

She has lost all credibility unless you are in the tank for Obama and can not see that.

I don’t care what network she is on or XM or radio station I won’t give her the time of day.

I have no interest in anything she might even think, do or say.

Her disrespect for Hillary and Bill doomed her in my eyes forever along with the rest of MSM.

No longer care what they say , I won’t be listening.

Obviously Obama is worried that Hillary will steal his thunder on Universal Healthcare so he want to remove her from the equasion AND lets face it, without Hillary stumping for him over the past 2 months there would be no President Elect Obama. Obama is clearly not passing the Commander In Chief test…that’s why he is trying to bring Hillary into his fold and is meeting with Senator McCain Monday – evidently 52% of America bought Obamas BS but Obama like the rest of us did not.

LISA N.Y.

Hear Hear! Agreed 100%

Please, not another Media Misogynist for Obama, the Camouflaged Misogynist in the (shudders) White House!
Hussein won’t be able to take the heat in the kitchen and would wish for Hillary to step in!

Yes, throw them bones at the PUMAS and see how they’ll make Hussein Ear Stew out of them…

Disgusting Hillary-haters like Olbermann (overt) and Rachel (camouflaged misogynist) are Woman-haters and they don’t see how their hatred for Hillary is extended logically to all women, including Rachel!

Why is Obama’s candidacy as Black Man any more historic than Hillary’s would have been as A WOMAN PRESIDENT? Please explain the irrational hatred against this competent overqualified compassionate and donw-to-earth woman who’s weathered more storms in her lifetime than Obambi ever will in a hudnred incarnations–in Chicago or anywhere in Hawaii or Hell.

Maybe Rachel should be taken out in a shed and only Olberman come out! (how horrible, but both these Evil Twins’ hateful agenda deserves this retort)
