MSNBC is my favorite news network. They have had some of the best coverage this primary season. As far as Tucker goes, I did not watch his show too much but as far as right wing nuts go I'd take him over someone like O' Reilly, Hannity or Glen Beck any day. He can go haywire at times but relative to other right wing hosts he is okay.

MSNBC is a completely crap news network they are so biased in favour of Obama that they should rename themselves OWN; Obama Worship Network. They need to fire their news-staff and bring new people in, all their people like Scarborough, Mika, Andrea, Dan Abrams try to act neutral but cannot control their Barack lovefest and Hillary bashing and there are others like Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann who make no qualms about bashing Hillary and kissing up to Obama. What a shame!
Sour grapes! I'm sorry Hillary supporters are only saying this because they are losing, where were these comments about media being unfair in December when she was the frontrunner? MSNBC is very fair in their coverage.

Many many liberal organizations are not happy with MSNBC's treatment of Hilary compared to Obama.
Those organization you are referring are Clinton and run and funded. MSNBC has called out Hillary like they have done with other candidates. She deserves every inch of the criticism and then some. She has ran a despicable, divisive and disgusting campaign. If I was not paying attention I would this was a republican campaign. The kind of things Clinton people are saying about Obama's race and the kind of politics they are playing show how low they are willing stoop to win. She does not care about the party she only cares about herself. This general election should be an easy win for the democrats but now the Democrats will manage to find a way to steal defeat from the jaws of victory and it will all be Hillary Clinton's fault. Hillary might as well be McCain's running mate. She has done her best to alienate democrats. Media being harsh on her? I think they are being too soft on her.
Truth is, David Schuster was off the air for a while because of some things he said about her daughter. Chris Matthews, who is just unbearable, regardless of party, had to apologize to Hillary. Sounds kind of fishy to me. MSNBC does deserve credit for the amount of political coverage they've given. At least they interrupt the 20 hour doc block marathons on the weekend to report political stuff for an hour, where the other two cable news nets at least aired news. As for your "right-wing nut" comment, anyone who's ever watched O'Reilly's show knows he's one of the biggest fence riders on all of cable news. He has good friends on both sides of the isle. I would compare him to a Joe Lieberman or John McCain type, not a Glenn Beck, Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh type. In fact, he often criticizes them and the likes of Ann Coulter too. People on websites have attacked him more than anyone else simply because he's number one on Fox News, a network that actually has real conservative commentators. But honestly, the real reason Fox is number one is their delivery. Its fast paced. Its edgy. Its entertaining. Their anchors look like they enjoy their job. MSNBC's delivery has improved recently but still lags and there are too many hours of documentaries on the air if they really want to get serious about rising up. CNN remains the so-dull-you'd-rather-watch-paint-dry net.
