MSNBC showed about 20 min. of Obama's speech. They showed about 30 min. of McCain's speech...

[jenmito]

I called MSNBC to complain and their "voice mailbox" was full. I hope it was full of complaints about their unfair coverage! x(

[Richardo]

1. Do you know how long the speeches were?

:shrug:

[jenmito]

5. I watched all of Obama's speech and it was maybe 50 min.?

I'm sure McCain's was shorter.

[JackBeck]

7. Obama's was about 45 minutes long.

Didn't catch the other one's speech.

[SuperTrouper]

2. MSRNC is in the tank for McCrypt

[Alhena]

6. Is this supposed to be sarcastic?

I watch Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow and they all seem to like Obama, with the latter two basically openly rooting for him. Why do you say MSNBC likes Republicans?

[jenmito]

10. I guess you don't watch it during the day. n/t

20. Yah 17 out of 24 hours it's a puke network

Of course I don't have the viewership figures in front of me, but I imagine that about 50% of their audience hears a more truthful message, and 50% hears subtle RW garbage. But the network doesn't bat for us. It's just closer to honoring the spirit of the fairness doctrine than the other two majors.

3. McSame speaks slower

it was equal coverage :)

[Nikki Stone1]

9. LOL!!!!

:rofl:

[jenmito]

13. Maybe if they covered it by the number of words.

But still-funny post. :hi:

4. Did you time it? CNN cut out the speech at the same time too

that MSNBC did.

[jenmito]

8. 30 min. shown of McCain vs. 20 min. of Obama.

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. Funny both CNN and MSNBC cut the speech out at the same time.. also

they went to pundits talking about the speech that wasn't over yet with
OBama on one of the screens still speaking.

[jenmito]

15. Strange...

or fixed by the corporate media.

[global1]

19. It Seems They Always Cut The Speech Right When Obama Starts Telling The Truth About McCain......

as soon as Obama starts criticizing McCain and the criticism is on target and can't be refuted - they break into Obama's speeches and go to the pundits to analyze. They never let Obama get a chance to make the big points that can sway a voter.

[jobycom]

11. They probably fell asleep during McCain's/

Yawn... "Umm, where am I, I dozed off. Oh shit, is that guy still talking? Hell, he's worse than carbon monoxide! Cut him off before our audience dies, would you?"

[pnwmom]

14. 20 minutes of Obama is worth an infinite number of McCain minutes.

But you're right, it's biased coverage.

[jenmito]

16. Another poster called McCain "Mr. milky-minutes"...

and it just seems so fitting somehow. :D

[pnwmom]

17. Mr. Muddy Minutes? Mucky Minutes?

But, appearance wise, "milky" does fit.

[jenmito]

18. All of the above...

but "milky minutes" just seems so white, um, I mean right. :)
