A serious question Greg: Have you had any conversations with Clinton campaign affiliates about its decision to attack MSNBC?

ruh roh

But Fox News has said nothing but wonderful things about you, Hillary, and that Democratic Party you claim to care so much about.

Well, war on multiple fronts. Too bad Barack will not attack CNN for there (quite obvious) bias in favor of Clinton.

But yes, I concede that HRC and her advocates are probably right as far as MSNBC goes.

Ok, then. Why don't we do it the Presidential way and get Jim Lehrer and PBS to moderate the debate?

Ugh, this sucks.

Does this mean Bill O'Reilly never said anything reprehensible about the Clintons? Hannity?

It was a supremely *stupid* word choice and Shuster should get smacked hard for it. Wouldn't bother me if Bill called him out into the street. But that's about it. The rest sounds a little desperate.

Well, Barack won't go on FoxNews, Hillary won't go on MSNBC. If only CNN says something reprehensible we'll get nothing but PBS debates from here on out. And wouldn't that be awesome? C'mon CNN! Screw up!

How does this compare to how Bill Clinton behaved and spoke about Mr. Lewinski's daughter. Did Hillary get outraged when Bill lied about about his affair with Monica, and called her "That woman". Monica was about the same age then, as Chelsea is now.

Selective outrage is a wonderful thing, especially at a politically expedient time.

So we are down to the Beard or Fox News. My guess is that there won't be anymore debates before March 4th.

Hell's bells, good for her. I doubt that any candidate will get much grief from the voters for pointing out what a terrible job the television news does. I like NPR.

they wont debate on MSNBC but they WILL debate on fox...

that should tell you all you need to know about the Billary campaign.

All we need to know about Obama fans.
In response to a vile misogynistic attack on Chelsea the ObaFans attack the Clintons. Way to go! Yeah, the b deserved it! After all Chelsea has been what? Relatively low key, out of the gossip columns, not drunk in public... boy what a loser she is!
This from the same crowd that deems "fairytale" a racist slur.

Well, clearly that was offensive an totally inappropriate. And it doesn't even make sense, why wouldn't her daughter want to campaign for her?

That said, the Clinton's victim shtick is really wearing thin. "Vote for me because you feel bad for me." WTF? It's so obnoxious.

And yeah, it says a lot that she'll Debate on Fox news but not MSNBC even though they've apologized.

Well, good luck winning the nomination, much less the general election, without MSNBC which has become the best thing the left has on TV with people like Olbermann fighting the good fight against Limbaugh etc.

Yes, Matthews is crazy and what he said about her rise to prominence was rude, but to attack the whole network????

Perhaps this is her Sista Soljah moment as she pivots toward Fox News (in preparation for the general?). Does she really think that disaffected Repugs, those who detest McCain, are actually going to vote for her? She's nuts if she does.

"It also suggests that the Hillary camp sees the potential for political gain in drawing media attention to negative and sexist comments made on MSNBC about her and her daughter."

thats called "playing the gender card".

JTHB - oh stop it. I'm a huge Obama supporter and I agree with the Clintons about this.

They sure know how to intimidate the press, don't they? At the beginning of this primary I was very supportive of both candidates. The longer it goes on, the more I come to understand the concerns many on the right had with Bill Clinton as president. A few rules in Clintonville seem to be: always play the victim as a way to bully the press; never apologize for anything (Bill's mea culpa today put the blame on the media's interpretations of his comments in South Carolina); everything that happens can be spun as a positive (Clinton is now the "underdog"). Cynical, cynical, cynical.

The Clintons attacked after Shuster had already apologised.

Hillary has never apologized for voting to Invade and Occupy Iraq.

Chelsey will live, and Shuster has apologized for his moronic comment.

Thousands are dead or maimed, and Hillary still claims that her vote was not a Reckless and Catastrophic mistake.
George W. Bush and John McCain agree with her.

I have been generally impressed by Shuster's reporting over the year or so I've been watching MSNBC. Certainly this "pimp" comment is uncharacteristic of his record. He apologized. It seems to me that any posturing by HRC's campaign not to appear on any MSNBC debates in future is calculated more to appeal to feminist voters than reflect a feeling that the comment constituted some unforgivable sin. Now that Chelsea is playing a public role in the campaign, it's inevitable that she's going to have some criticism thrown her way. Yes, it was a sexist remark, but MSNBC has way more likely Hillary voters than, say, Fox! Lighten up, Mr. Wolfson, and accept Shuster's apology!

The guy has been grating on me for a while. He is a poor excuse for a journalist, reeking with bias and lack of objectivity as obnoxious as his haircut. It's funny though, how it seems that after Super Tuesday, Shuster, Tweety Matthews, Abrams and their fellow guilt-ridden overpaid hacks -- can no longer even spell "transformational" and "transcendent." Good for them, maybe they should hone up on a much simpler vocabulary, such as "specifics" or "substantive record."

The comment was admittedly out of line. Still, this is a not-too-thinly veiled attempt to, once again, play the victim/misogyny card.
