MSNBC loves Obama
Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: NBC reporter admits it’s “hard to stay objective” when covering Obama
It is nice to see MSNBC admit it, but it sad when it seams like their openly pulling for Obama or anyone for that matter

Fox is not openly saying it is hard for them to be unbiased for coving a candidate, but theirs no doubt that they are more right wing then somewhere like MSNBC.
It’s just sad when a network seams too be openly cheering for a candidate.

Wow, I didn't realize that MSNBC was like the Borg collective, where some totally unknown reporter (Lee Cowen) represents the entire collective mentality of MSNBC. I thought only Fox and the right-wing media had collective thinking.

I, just like you, am glad to see them finally admit it. So much for just reporting the news anymore, now the reporter has his ego so overblown that he is the news. |

Do you know the difference between commentary and commentators and news and news reporters? There was a study reported a couple of weeks ago and yes in fact Fox gives the most balanced coverage to all the candidates. |

What does "balanced coverage" mean in this context? A 1:1 ratio of the amount of time spent on Dem and Rep candidates, not taking into account the slant of what's said in those hours? Merely a quantitative measure and not a qualitative one?
