NBC "news"' first 10 minutes was a complete bashing of HCR passage. Not one piece about
people who were in favor of HCR, it was all from the teabagger/republican viewpoint.

1. I just put up a post about that. It was brutal and totally brought to you by the RNC. I was stunned
at the imbalance. It was extreme.

4. Actually, they spent most of last night's broadcast being very positive about it...
they even did a report about how out of hand the repukes were with their name-calling and spitting.

7. Did they show any progressive liberal criticism; ie; no strong non-profit national public option?
No universal single payer coverage?

11. Now, now. Anything to the left of Albert Speer is CRAZY and must be silenced, at least according to
Corporate M$M.

10. The last few weeks of HCR have been good for ratings. The MSM wants to keep it going.
At least through the next sweeps period.

16. A good place to respond is here:

http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2010/03/23/2239316.aspx#comments

Sometimes these comments get read by people who have influence there.

The worst part of NBC's coverage tonight was from Kelly O'Donnell, who is nothing but a right wing PR operative. Her coverage of the McCain campaign was a one-sided pro-McCain outrage. I couldn't believe the lies she told. They kooped her up for awhile but now she's back to her old tricks.
