MSNBC unofficially supports Obama over Clinton....

Newsflash this is not./

Seriously? You'd never guess. They shouldn't be supporting anyone anyway.

Not a newsflash, but incredibly unprofessional of Matthews. Idemandareprimanda.

Go Obama 08

Geez, if you listen to Scarborough and Dan Abrams, it's not official or unanimous. As for the rest, that's the sound of scales falling from eyes. I respect MSNBC, and even Matthews, because their bullshit detectors go off like a Geiger counter every time The Clintons pontificate, prevaricate or pull another pander. Matthews is paid for his take and access to the inside skinny, not to report as an unbiased journalist. His emotional transparency is one reason he makes good television. In small doses.

Matthews had the tingle up his leg for Obama until he realized that voters in Pennsylvania, where he has designs on becoming Senator preferred Clinton. He changed tunes drastically and obviously and has not gone a day since the PA primary without mentioning Wright.

He might flip again, but something tells me this guy's actual political future will never materialize.

If they support Obama they have an odd way of showing it. Lately Hardball has spent half of every show talking about Rev Wright.

I can see making that claim about Olberman, but not of Hardball. Hell, last night they had two pundits on to talk about the Dem race, one of them was a Senator backing Hillary and the other was Harold Ford Jr, Chairman of the DLC (yes, the same DLC the Clintons own.)

Fair to say that Keith O. unabashedly (though not "officially") supports Obama (which may be why I enjoy him so much), and that Chris "I get a tingle up my leg" Matthews is in the same boat. But MSNBC as a whole? That's a pretty big stretch. Morning Joe is MSNBC's answer to Faux News, consistently trumpeting Hillary and bashing Obama on everything under the sun.

It sounds like an obvious joke, why is TPM reporting this? Did TPM realize that Hillary has unilaterally changed the number of delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination? Maybe you'd like to report on some real news?

And MSNBC isn't pro-Obama. You have assholes like Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan constantly attacking Obama, non-stop Wright coverage, and all the rest of the bullshit from the rest of the networks. If pro-Obama is stating the obvious, like when it comes to the mathematical impossibility of Hillary winning, then I guess they are at times pro-Obama. If Keith Olbermann stating the obvious about Hillary's tactics is pro-Obama, then I guess you caught them. But I'm sorry, reality is MUCH more pro-Obama than MSNBC, so I'd say if anything MSNBC has been keeping Hillary afloat, just like the rest of the media.

Well let me officially say that MSNBC is in no way, shape, or form for Obama. First we have "Morning Smear", I mean, "Morning Joe" - where Joe "they found a dead girl in my office" Scarborough spends the entire morning talking about reverend Wright or trying to emasculate Obama in some way. Playing the consummate "concern troll", stoking racial division by mistakenly wondering why Obama can sway more white people 24/7. Pat Buchanan, a man that I have characterized as "the Statler & Waldorf" of political punditry, believes that black people benefited from slavery - so you know how his opinion tilts. David Gregory is a fucking clown. Chris Matthews, an equal opportunity offender - one time went on an ill advised rant about fucking flag pins. Dan Abrams is a shameless Hillary apologist. The only person there who doesn't have some vendetta against Obama is Keith Olbermann. Oh, and they need to give Rachel Maddow and David Shuster their own shows.

You elites and your cable!

And let's not forget, McCain has reversed himself over and over again in the last few weeks, not to mention his ENTIRE career. I seem to miss that coverage on MSNBC completely. Maybe they should do their job, Olbermann excluded.

It would be much more helpful if they would stop talking about Wright.

And Matthews liking Obama does nothing to change the fact that he's an idiot manchild who only sensationalizes the conventional wisdom and then broadcasts it at extreme volume. If he left cable news and never returned it would be a joyous occasion.

Likewise, Tim Russert can die in a fire.

Someone said this is nonsense.....and this is indeed nonsense. Hillar Clinton and her supporters have perfected all of Rove tactics. Attack through the media or blogs, all things insiders know to be true, which is (Countdown and Rachel Maddow) are the only places where Obama may recieve fair coverage, with the spin and nuance that the network as a whole is unfair to Hillary.....This shit is truly ridiculous!....and its not my place to Judge, but I cant see why people even induldge them when the HRC supporters make these stupid claims!!!!!
Vooooooommmmmmiiiiiiiittttt!

Even if Matthews likes Obama in the primary, there's no way that's going to overcome his deep man-crush on McCain.

Greg,

Hillary's Talking Points aside, how about some "informed" posts on Operation Chaos happening right now in IN ?

Halperin is doing it.

Now its official.

When you have Keith Olbermann say that BO and HRC should be put in a room and only he emerges, that's an endorsement, folks.

But an endorsement of which candidate. Hillary's Spin Doctor, James Carville just gave Hiillary's undercarriage an examination and discovered that she has three testicles.
No wonder Bimbo Bill has sought feminine companionship.

What I think is insidious about the media coverage is that, in most clips I see via internet, it seems to invariably be a 'rule' that some black person be included in the panel discussions to be the one addressed to represent or clarify Obama's position. That 'rule' sets up a black vs white scene which visually reinforces the notion of a racial divide, not to mention that it belittles the reality of Obama's many significant white supporters, many of whom would be happy to represent Obama in panel discussions.

The party is at stake...what are the people and the supers going to do....will be interesting.

They're all still guilty of making this seem like Clinton has some shot of winning

That's pisses me off so very much because that's just truthiness and not journalism at all. It's ridiculous.

Being for someone and being in the tank for someone is two different things. When your in the tank for someone or a political party your like Fox News who refuses to see the errors of the GOP and wont critique the GOP, but will critize you for critizing the GOP.

With that said, Keith and Chris are pro Obama no doubt, but he isnt in the tank for Obama...CNN and MSNBC's Andrea are pro Hillary, but their not in the tank for her...Abrams, imo, is just there...David Gregory show sucks because it sucks.
Morning Misogyny, opps, Morning Joe stinks. When you wake up in the morning Joe Scarborough's beaty eyes is not what you want to be staring at first thing in the morning. You think he has good eye sight?

Is ABC's endorsement of Clinton official yet?

jerk.

and it is pretty much official with Olbermann. Last i checked, he had a huge man crush on obama. the two should honeymoon together as hard as olbermann has barked for him.
