Trump correspondent on to discuss Trump campaign - discusses Ground Game Gap.
Cut to Trump/Pence walking though State Fair.
Bernie speaking with no sound in lower box- Immediately cut to Trump when he picks up a bull horn.
first five minutes positive for Dems, next thirteen minutes are devoted to all things Trump. Bernie continues to speak with no sound as the replay Trump/Pence shaking hands. Was going to make this a neutral story but they are trying to make Trump look Presidential by looping the same 20 seconds of footage, OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
12:18 Break
12:21 - HRC on Stage - She is having a coughing fit and having trouble speaking. Three minutes to get her voice.

12:33 - Break - Tough to categorize this segment. They gave HRC the video AND sound, three minutes of coughing, thirty seconds of speaking.
12:36 - Open with Campaign Plane
12:37 - Cut to correspondent at campaign event who gives a summary of Clinton's comments, while Clinton speaks - CLASSIC
Hitting on the point she hasn't been accessible to the Press.
12:38 - Ari points out the path to a Trump victory are narrow.
12:39 - Back to Studio and questions about ground operations
12:40 - Play Nancy Pelosi and the email "scandal" The case is closed.
12:41 - Bob Franken states Clinton was careless - and that the press gets to ask the questions.
12:42 - Second commentator agrees and states HRC needs to hold press conference
12:43 - Bob Franken states she needs to honestly answer sessions

ONE HOUR COMPLETED! Time to go outside, quick review. I think equal time was given to each candidate, the time devoted to HRC seemed to be mostly negative.

(68,867 posts)As soon as she stopped coughing! Thank you MSNBC...for nothing!
They are now discussing Hillary's lack of Trustworthiness.....
FrenchieCat
(68,867 posts)cause the reporting is the same as every other day....
Trump as "evolved" as a candidate,
and made up stories about Hillary Clinton's foundation (does she really have one?...didn't think so) are more important than Trump's foundation being found breaking the law by the IRS.

(6,551 posts)Maybe more of us should do a 1 hour study of MSNBC. If a few of us each logged the content for one hour, we'd get a good look at MSNBC's overall coverage.
