NBC and MSNBC are two of the worst repeat offenders.
[Read the article: Russert should debunk nonsense, not repeat it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Other than on Olbermann, almost every segment I've seen on either NBC or MSNBC has offered up totally inaccurate, false and misleading statements only relative to all things Barack Obama
The racism and bigotry shown by management, as well all their hosts is embarassingly blatant. (Where the hell is our damn Congress?)
Take these two hateful, out of line and completely intentional twists by the network themselves in segments done by Chris Matthews:
1. When Hillary made the 'plagiarism' charges against Obama, Matthew's assumed the story was true and immediately launched into into a lecture on 'the meaning of words', and the story carried caption "Just words?". As he lectured on, the right hand corner of the screen carried a large picture of Osama bin Laden.
Hillary didn't insert that.
Matthews and MSNBC chose to do make a demeaning inferrance.
My son went to tape the evening segment after he heard about it from others to send to YouTube, FCC and to Congress, but they had removed the photo.
2. When Rolling Stone Magazine endorsed Obama and placed him on their cover, something the magazine has never done, Matthews sole intent was to discredit the endorsement. They looked through every cover Rolling Stone ever did and came up with two of the most 'scandalous' photos. One had a large nude John Lennon and the other had a partially nude Janet Jackson.
Matthews did the story with a profound air of insult, and did the story this way:
"...The magazine that gave you this and this (insert two nude photos here), now gives you this..(insert suited photo of Obama here)."
You tell me ..is this reporting? I call it libelous and bigoted, and it should therefore be classified under a hate crime -or if Congress ever gets off it's ass it should drag theirs into a hearing.

And todays's Gallup results??
[Read the article: Campaign roundup]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You're giving an update, today, using last Saturdays daily Gallup results??
Today Gallup reports Obama has rebounded - +7 points.
This is a similar ploy by MSNBC puppet theater hosts: A very inexperienced female host (Contessa B.) just interviewed Gov. Mark Sanford (R) about McCain, going in to blue collar neighborhoods. She reads her talking points about a poll showing Clinton ahead of the pack by over 50% in almost all the main 'blue collar' categories of -beer drinking, hunters, bowlers, guntoting, blah blah reddneck stuff. (Geez thanks MSNBC for slamming the Pennsylvania voters!)
Hmmm.. hasn't MSNBC been blasting Obama for the same damn thing for over a week now??
Anyhoo, so Ms. B, throws the those poll results at Gov. Sanford "..so what do you thing of THAT Mr. Governor mucky muck??" she snottily says. Gov. Sanford asks for more details on the polls -a general election poll, a Democrat only poll..what?
Her answer, " I don't know anything about those details -I only know it was in Pennsylvania.
BRILLIANT!

Why this was not good news for Clinton.
[Read the article: Burden on superdelegates gets even heavier]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In another column Walter Shapiro argued the same talking points of Pat Buchanan, the Republicans, the racists and bigots within the Democratic party and much of the media who seem to be just reveling in this white woman black man smack-down: why can't Obama close the deal??
OK let's play.
1. Why is Obama ahead OVERALL?
2. Why can't the omnipotent Team Clinton duo close the deal against one unknown silly but hopeful black man?
3. Why is it that in spite of Team Clinton and their supporters claims that (a.) the Jews, the Hispanics the Asians and the whites won't vote for Obama and; (b)despite the now obvious racism and bigotry within his own Democrat party and;(c)despite polls from numerous sources, like ARG, KDKA, Quinnipiac etc., in January and February showing Clinton with a 20 point lead in ARGs and KDKA's case, or in Quinnipiac's case for, of a 52%-36% lead for Clinton in Pennsylvania and; (d) most important of all -in spite of Team Clinton throwing every vicious bit of garbage out of their kitchen sink Obama managed to increase his lead in Pennsylvania by 9 points.
In spite of Chris Matthews favorite "hometown girl" advantage, and the weight of the Rendell gang, and Team Clinton throwing their best shots at Obama since early January/February, they're margin only increased by 3 points.
in spite of everything -he still cut her lead in half.
If we all will now stipulate to Clinton's point that there is a certain amount of racism and bigotry in the Democrat party and in Pennsylvania and in America, here's two questions the Super Delegates and every voter better ask themselves to judge who is best to lead "on day one":
1. How much of Clinton's 10 point "victory" can be attributed to just those bigoted voters?
2. Does any candidate deserve the Democratic nomination, in particular, and the White House if his/her margin of "victory" came from just the bigoted voters?
Because of the insensitivity and cruelty shown to others, I can never vote for the Clintons.
They no longer represent the core beliefs of the Democratic Party.
