-Missed Senate Votes ~ Obama 17%, Clinton 8%
-Senate Rating ~ Obama; Extremely Poor, Clinton; Average
-Barack Obama missed 207 of 1127 votes
-Hillary Clinton missed 181 of 2435 votes
Jake, can you cite sources for those stats? I'd like to use them, but first I want to know where they came from!

MSNBC has become the the trash amongst stations.
This is good news though. Gregory usually has more fair assessments. Tucker has been on my list of top 10 anti-Hillary media personalities.
Andrea Mitchell is also way better than Keith Olberman. At least you can see she tries to be unbiased.

Great News !!!
He was real moron. Lot of sponsors gave thumbs down to Tucker.
I hope they should do same with Chris Mathew and Tim Russert.
They should fire more, if they want to improve rating.
"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday and explained the culture of fear that permeates the news business during this election season.
"There are all these minefields out there for Barack Obama that I think the press has been tiptoeing through," Scarborough said. He continued, "If you attack Hillary Clinton, we have found, there are organizations out there that will bombard your sponsors, that will call the president of your network and will say, 'Get that person off the air.' Media people are living in fear."

I have no sympathy for Tucker Carlson. He was just a spoiled rich kid who thought his opinion mattered! I wish MSNBC would continue with their shake ups!

Gregory is better than Carlson but has disappointed me of late, along with Keith Olbermann.
Ever since the David Schuster suspension, it's as though the rest of the MSNBC staff blames Hillary for pointing out their bias. Keith spends half his show dissing and mocking Hillary and David Gregory has begun to join he and Chris Matthews in their adolescent put downs.
I quit watching MSNBC about a month ago because I wanted to hear the news not their very biased and idiotic opinions.
CNN isn't great but they aren't quite as blatant in their bias.

Can they get rid of Keith Olbermann's, please oh please?? He needs to go!!!
Right after Chris Matthews. I actually like Chris, as he seems like a nice guy... but his bias (and misogyny) just eeeeekkkks through (or should I say reeks through)...
Next.
I like Dan Abrams, however... I hope they don't get rid of the Abrams report. He actually seems to do a good job at being "unbiased" for the most part.

Keith Olbermann was worthless on ESPN and is even more worthless in a news setting. He definitely needs to go!

My husband and I used to watch MSNBC all of the time.
So what is the problem especially with Keith Obermann as to why he constantly degrades Senator Clinton???
I use to watch the Countdown show, but lost interest when Keith smurks and grins whenever he mentions Hillarys name.
Regarding the Eliot Spitzer case, it is about time a WOMAN is in the Whitehouse. At least she can think with her brain and not like a man with another "organ".
I am happily married (33 years) to a wonderful man and a Vietnam (Marine Corp) Veteran....who, because he thinks with his brain is voting for Hillary!!!

Chris Matthews: A real downer, unless your an Obama fan
Olberman: Trys to be the lead anchor. Wish the anchor was around his neck.
All of Chriss Matthews analysts: Ever heard the term "brown nose" I watch the rest of them fall in line, especially the black haired fellow with glasses, who has been around for some time. Chris Matthews is the most rude interviewer I have ever heard. He doesn't have enough sense to let his guests talk without interrupting and if he doesn't like what they are saying about any point of view opposite from his he cuts them off. His program is a farce. Should be labeled "Make Chris Matthews Feel Good Hour" What amazes me is that he thinks he is cool asking insulting questions. Give me another minute and I'll tell you how I really feel about that stupid news program. Good riddance to Tucker. I believe it was in the mix for awhile. I hope they do the same to Matthews. Maybe when he comes back on another network, he'll have Hillary as his guest and APOLOGIZE TO HER. Yeah Right! My list is not complete, I do have to say that I like Andrea Mitchell, I believe that she is fair and balanced. I sometimes detect a look about her that says, come on guys
you are piling on (when it comes to Hillary and Bill Clinton)

Jack Rafferty thinks he is gods gift as a news caster. Fancies himself as a top drawer anchor man. He definitely is one that should be fired. He hates Hillary and bless his humungus corporate media heart, he doesn't even have the sense to hide it. The problem is he probably couldn't intellectually give any reason why he doesn't like her. He has a lynch mob mentality, just like the rest of the large news outlet and that smug smirk that he gets on his face when he selects his E-mails to read make me sick. If I want to have my spirits uplifted, I go to this site or HillaryClinton.com

When he gets together with his buddies after a debate, I want to throw up. "Matthews might say "Tim, boy that was a great question" Timmy boys face lights up and his nose glows just a little redder. He responds with " You noticed that? like a father who just received a compliment from his son. "I wasn't going to let her get away with that" Hillary is definitely not afraid to push him back.

I used to like Tim Russert. He was raised in my neck of the woods and it's possible we crossed paths when we were kids. However, his obnoxious attitude toward Hillary made me so mad I won't watch him anymore. My husband - a Hillary fan - won't either (another real man and veteran who thinks with his brain and not his Willy). I think it's because Hillary is probably the smartest "opponent" he's ever come across. He's the "Bureau Chief" after all and obviously believes his own press.

You know, now that you mention it, at the last debate he looked downright mad - as in crazy. He had this gleem in his eye like someone possessed. Our Hillary is awesome. He's not even in the same league with her.

I am glad to see one down at MSNBC. What we need to do is have a collective March MSM Sweep and send emails this month to make our concerns known about the unbias treatment that has been going on during this primary. Someone on the web actually has a website on Olbermann with their own personal counterdown and the worse person...which is Keith. As usual, the press is eluding that Hillary is somehow going to be damage because of the governor of NY fiasco. Imagine how they are doing all they can to bring Obama up when in a matter of seconds, he too will be coming down when all his dirty secrets are revealed. I don't expect the MSM to be the ones to deliver the bad news...but when it happens, we can expect them to act as if they were onto him.

Wow, I guess I'm going to be the voice of opposition in here but MSNBC is the ONLY network I HAVE been watching. I stopped watching CNN after NH and the only reason I watched them last week was because the place I watched the primary results at had it on.
And I'm watching Countdown now, I love his show. I watch Joe Scarborough in the morning. I happen to enjoy them both.
However, I absolutely LOATHE Andrea Mitchell. I feel she's a disgrace to women and is NOT fair and balanced at all. It's sad because I used to love her. But the morning I watched her rip into Lanny Davis a few weeks ago absolutely infuriated me. She's supposed to be NBC's "Foreign Policy Corrospondent" but I've yet to see her report on Foreign Policy issues.
As for CNN, I like Jack Cafferty. It's Lou Dobbs and Wolf Blitzer who need to go, especially Wolf, who I've known to be a real jerk in person.
Jake, can you cite sources for those stats? I'd like to use them, but first I want to know where they came from!

Wow! Made my day when I saw that his show was cancelled. So maybe our emails to NBC/MSNBC worked! I for one told them I had turned off my TV at news time and blocked any show by NBC/MSNBC. GE owns NBC so you can add that to the list, too.
Carlson is a spoiled brat along with that Anderson Cooper on CNN. Hope he goes along with Carlson. Never liked Anderson after he upstaged Aaron Brown.

Aw. I like Anderson Cooper. He did a kind and thoughtful interview with my gay Dad, after he lost his partner of 15 years on Sept. 11th in the World Trade Center, and received no benefits from the government because he and Gene were not "married". Anderson was very compassionate.
As for the rest of the lot- I'm not watching anyway. The nastiness toward Hillary is so wide spread on all those stations, you'd have to get rid of 'em all!

Are you serious? How can anybody hate Anderson Cooper? He's so great. He was the only one to call out the disgusting La. politicians after Katrina and is one of the few media people who still give a crap about the people down there.

WOW - I used to wait all day for Keith Olbermann. Now I usually don't make it through the lead ins. I can't believe any Hillary supporter can watch him and not see and hear his mockery of Hillary. He has become one of the worst. He is even beating out Chris Matthews. I get most of my information from abcnews.com and others. I can't see how anyone can watch msnbc for anylength of time anymore.

He should never have started with shows on CNN, then MSNBC. Who gets shows right away in their early twenties? Privilege before qualified. Sound familiar? If he had to work his way up, he might have some feeling for others.
Now he'll wind up with the right place for him--Fox. Blah, blah, blah.

ClintonFan1992 and Hillary in the Box:
I used to be a 100% faithful fan of CNN! Never anything else after World News Tonight. For years that was my routine in the evening. Work colleagues kid me that the only thing I ever watched was CNN (except of course NCIS!)
I had no problem with Anderson Cooper until he turned on Hillary, along with the others on CNN. I have not watched CNN since Super Tuesday when I briefly turned it on to get the results from CA (my laptop overheated!). When they called CA for Hillary, Anderson looked like someone had just thrown cold water in his face!
Until CNN stops the negativity towards Hillary, its this forum or HC.com.
Yes, she will!

I guess I just don't take it that seriously and don't see it like you do. He spends most of his time making fun of Bush than mocking Hillary. Plus, he mocks EVERYBODY. I don't think it's anything personal

Hey!
I watched Bill Maher as well. It made me angry! I emailed HBO and told them that since Maher is voting for Obama, I didn't appreciate Bill Maher using his forum as an hour long commercial for Obama. I also told them I'd no longer watch his program. Even Joe Scarborough told Maher that he went over the line with his 3 am. phone call comparison.

ClintonFan1992,
I think you may be talking about coverage from a year ago. These days Jack Cafferty--CNN and Keith Olberman--MSNBC are in the top 10 anti-Clinton people.
Lou Dobbs and Wolf Blitzer still attack Clinton but the difference is that they also attack Obama the same amount. That to me is ok and fair.
But the others like:
1. Gloria Berger--CNN
(You should read her hit-job on the Clintons in Newsweek. Why would anyone put such a traitor of a lady on TV)
2. Chris Matthews--MSNBC
3. Jack Cafferty--CNN
4. Tucker Carlson--MSNBC
5. Rachel Madow--MSNBC
6. Roland Martin--CNN
7. Karl Bernstein--CNN
And the ones listed above are the absolute worst! Every time they come on, it's almost as they have an invisible sword that they are cutting Hillary with. It's sick.
