Even by the low standards of the redheaded stepchild of cable news, this is pathetic. If Obama loses, Chris Matthews may need to be on suicide watch, because the "thrill" will be gone.

MSNBC abandons GOP convention during every speech by a minority

 


One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.

If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.

In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.

Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast.

All part of the narrative.

They have to keep push it, they have to back Obama.

This should come as no surprise.

I really wouldn't be shocked if they took Romney's speech and dubbed in "I hate blacks!" and "Those spics are lazy!" several times and then replayed it on all of their shows....I mean, they have a habit of doing such things.

  I saw Rachel Maddow's snide mocking of Rick Santorum's interview and that was all I needed to know. The local non-corporate channels were much better at just calling it the way they saw it.
