I Guess MSNBC Hasn't Gotten The Message Yet - Tweety Is Doing A One-On-One Hillary Interview....

tonight. I guess 'conflict of interest' doesn't mean anything to MSNBC. Tweety's wife is running for Congress as a Dem and has endorsed Hillary. She is also receiving donations from Clinton alumni.

That explains why Tweety is talking up Hillary any chance he gets and slamming Bernie any chance he gets.

How fair do you think this interview will be with Hillary tonight?

...he is an opinion talk show host. It's like saying O'Reilly or Limbaugh are journalists.

They'll do their best to skewer Bernie while keeping their fairness faces on. I won't watch; it will be covered well on DU. I can't stand to watch MSNBC or any other establishment media any more.

The corporate powers-that-be are terrified. I'm sure the interview will be nauseating.

It will probably be so sycophantic that it will shore up the perception of Hillary as the establishment's choice.

before the Iowa caucus, Rachel did a one on one days before the NH Primary and now Tweety is doing a one on one the week before Nevada. WHAT'S THE COMMON THREAD HERE? Besides the corruption, shilling and favoritism?

NONE OF THE INTERVIEWS HAVE HELPED HER! If anything, they piss people off even more than they already are pissed off.

The corrupt corporate owned MSM doesn't realize just how hated and Obsolete they are! The more they shill for Clinton, the more people flock to Bernie! A TIE in Iowa and a Bernie LANDSLIDE victory in NH....they are NOT helping Clinton.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

One thing this campaign has really demonstrated is the extent of the incestuous relationships between the political and press establishments. What's especially amazing is that they all don't see it--that's how deeply entrenched they are in that entire system.

As for "how fair do you think this interview" will be, I'm expecting tough questions like, "Why are you such a snappy dresser?" and "Rate yourself on a scale of great to extraordinary."

for donating to a candidate while smashing said candidate for being dirty?

Where is the principled leadership in MSNBC, or shall we say Comcast?
