**** MSNBC

[Angelsjunky]

The bias for Hillary is overwhelming to the point that they are clearly doing things to try to strengthen her nomination.

 

Last night Chris Matthews ran down a list of "the" candidates, saying what he admired about them. He mentioned Clinton, Trump, Rubio, and even Cruz (although had nothing good to say about him). No Bernie. Rachel Maddow replied, "great encyclopedic list of all the candidates."

 

Total and utter trash reporting. Right now Bernie has a better chance than Rubio, and probably at least as good a chance as Cruz. Why the snub, Chris? Protecting your stock portfolio?

 

I've been watching MSNBC during the primaries because they're reasonably entertaining, with more interesting characters than boring CNN, and they're not as batshit crazy as Fox. But I don't think I can stomach it anymore, except if Bernie starts winning - and then I'll watch it for a taste of schadenfreude as Chris Matthews goes apoplectic and Rachel Maddows does a fair-weather Hillary impression and "comes out" for Bernie. I know, its a long-shot but let me dream a bit...

 

And yes, I realize Hillary dominated Super Tuesday, but Bernie actually won four states, three of which were up-for-grabs. With some more left-leaning and "Rust belt" union-oriented states coming up, he isn't out yet. But the media is spinning it like Hillary is up by five runs in the 8th inning, when in reality it is more like she's up by five runs in the third inning.

 

Anyhow, the point being I have nothing wrong with being biased, just be honest about it. And stop spinning the news to convince people that the race is over, that Hillary is a foregone conclusion.

 

**** MSNBC, and **** the almost-as-bad NPR and the rest while I'm at.

MSNBC has an agenda?

 

Say whaaaaaat???

[Spirit]

Lulz

[arch stanton]

Just vote for Gary Johnson and get on with your life.

[Adam]

Someone should tweet at the former governor. We're doing more here for his campaign than anyone, anywhere else. Maybe he'll send us some bumper stickers and hash pipes. 

[Angelsjunky]

Just vote for Gary Johnson and get on with your life.

 

[Blarg]

That was vote for Bernie.

[Angelsjunky]

That was vote for Bernie.

 

Who are you, Chuck Todd?

[Angelsjunky]

I'm willing to bet AJ did not pay Shutterstock for his use of the photo they own.

 

I'm willing to bet you were that kid that raised your hand first to rat someone out when the teacher asked who wrote something naughty on the board.

[Kevin]

Well they'd hate to apologize on air talking about something that they have a different perception about.

They learned their lesson the first time.

[Tank]

must be a slow news day when a liberal democrat starts complaining about the biased news coverage on MSNBC.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

At the gym yesterday both CNN and MSNBC were focusing on Trump and Clinton because they're far and away the favorites right now.  One of the headlines even read that Hillary was shifting her focus from Sanders to Trump because Bernie's wild ride is almost over.

[HaloMagic]

Is he receiving some sort of monetary compensation for this photo usage? Has Shutterstock somehow been devalued or lost revenue by him using the branded image they made available on the internet to make a joke on a public web forum of which he has no ownership in?

Seems to me Shutterstock should be paying him. There are undoubtedly people who didn't know where they could get a picture of a white woman throwing a crumpled up piece of paper into a brown slotted trashcan who are now aware that, should they ever need such a photo, they can go to Shutterstock to acquire access to such a thing. AJ has increased this companies product and brand recognition.

[Blarg]

Let me ask you this AJ: Do you feel it is right for you to use the fruits of another person's labor for your own benefit, and without their consent?

You just descibed Bernies platform.

[Angelsjunky]

Let me ask you this AJ: Do you feel it is right for you to use the fruits of another person's labor for your own benefit, and without their consent?

 

LOL. Really? Are you upset that I posted an image from Google images and didn't pay for it?

[Adam]

Dude he's an ambulance chaser... Be careful

[Angelsjunky]

Oh shyt.

[nate]

or, you know,  MSNBC was just reporting on how Hillary was clearly in the drivers seat for the nomination and Bernie's run will dry up soon.

[HaloMagic]

You could say that but it ignores why they mentioned Rubio and Cruz then.

[Angelsjunky]

Nate just likes to disagree with anything I say.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

And finishing fourth in the New Hampshire Democratic primary, ladies and gentlemen, the next President of the United States...

 

 

[nate]

I just think it is funny that a lib is complaining about the media bias when all we ever hear about is the liberal media.

 

I think most people in the media don't want their income stolen from them either.

[Angelsjunky]

Fox News has a wicked case of liberal bias.

 

And yeah, you hear all about the "liberal media" if your main source of information is AM radio.

[nate]

And just preemptively, no I'm not jealous.

So just because my wife said no when I asked her if I could stay home and play guitar and get high and post on the Spin Board all day, I'm not jealous.

You probably would have contributed more to society... ****ing lawyer.

[Angelsjunky]

I too wish I could stay home and not work, so I'm jealous of this imaginary Angelsjunky that you have in your mind.
