Does Sean work for MSNBC now? If not, it's really a moot point, since Fox News and NBC don't have the same guidelines about political contributions. Besides, we knew that he donated money to her.

Nice try but...FAIL.

You really should take it up with NBC, since it's their policy you don't like. That must mean that you like Fox's political contribution policy.

I'll admit - I do. If MSNBC wants to be fully recognized as a liberal political news network, it needs to be more like Fox News when it comes to this issue so that their anchors aren't hamstrung.

Don't put words in my mouth and argue against that please. I know it's a stretch, but try to employ some integrity next time you post.

Their anchors aren't hamstrung now - didn't you watch their election night coverage?

It was a complete embarrassment and they were the laughing stock of the industry.

They are hamstrung if they're unable to make political donations without the threat of being fired.

Good lord, sanrene. It's one thing to be partisan, but it's hard to me to understand the rabid and irrational tone of some of your posts.

Mediate is hardly that. Neither is Howie Kurtz and the other MSM people who noticed their unprofessional, biased really lame coverage and decided to take note.

There is a segment of the population that might appreciation that kind of "analysis" and they are the far-left frothing fringe, as evidenced by their abysmal ratings.

When other MSM take note and ridicule/mock the coverage from their slate of leftist nuts, that's pretty bad.

You are not welcome to interpret my posts and then attack that premise. You are welcome to address something I've actually written, but not what you'd like to make up. You do enough of that already and you are not welcome assign false definitions as my opinions. In fact I've already stated the direct opposite of what you are claiming in another thread. But as usual, lets not let facts get in your way or anything.

There are currently about half a dozen posts in this thread, half of which are yours. If you are ethically and intellectually unable to assess what you wrote then I wouldn't be able to help you either.
