I find it extremely ironic that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski accused Chris Matthews of being biased towards Pres Elect Obama. Over the course of this election, I've watched the Morning Joe television show on a daily basis and was disheartened to discover that Joe and Mika devote their entire shows to making observations from a Republican perspective. I can only surmise that they're proud of skewing the news in this manner because they don't try to disguise their beliefs. For example, whenever Pres Elect Obama was leading in the polls, Joe and Mika always found a way to discount the facts. When Pres Elect Obama received endorsements from Gen Colin Powell, Warren Buffet; etc, Joe and Mika attributed these votes of confidence to him being an African American. I guess the only reason that they didnt accuse Dr Brzezinski of this is because he's Mika's father. They even accused Pres Elect Obama of buying the election and refused to acknowledge the fact that he successfully altered the landscape of the electoral map with joint efforts of Pres Elect Obama, Vice Pres Elect Biden and all of the citizens of the United States. After all, Pres Elect Obama did flip nine states that have that have been carried by Republicans for forever. The saddest thing of all is that they refused to admit that Sen McCain and Gov Palin spent the majority of their campaign insighting fear while refusing to be responsible for their supporters comments and actions.. Fear magnifies underlying prejudices & hatred. Once this is unleashed it can't be halted. This in turn literally put Pres Elect Obama's life in the balance. History has proven this combination to be lethal as it ended the lives of John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. On some level Joe and Mika must have realized this because they spent weeks upon weeks asking each other whether they, Sen McCain and Gov Palin were being fair. I guess they were just trying to fool themselves and each other. Throughout the campaign and thereafter, Joe and Mika have chosen to paint Gov Palin as a victim of circumstances. She is not . After all, in Gov Palin's own words, "it's not mean spirited" to point out that she's shown America on several occasions during television interviews that she hasn't been able to explain the job duties of a Vice President, is unable to reference any Supreme Court cases--not even the one that pertains to Alaska, nor question whether she's spent an excessive amount of the RNC's money on clothing for herself and family. She and her family must have been aware of what was going on because they had to try the clothes, shoes;etc on to ensure that they fit properly. After all, Gov Palin relentlessly made charges against Pres Elect Obama by chanting her mantra:"people have a right to know". Joe and Mika should remember that Gov Palin's manta applies to her as well.. I'm quite positive that they won't practice what they've preached to Chris Matthews and report issues that are affiliated with the Republican party in a fair and impartial manner.

This is the only news organization that just prints the news. I don't need Chis Matthews or any other Liberal news person to help me make up my mind. Just print it or report it,don't slant it don't campaign, don't invent news or events that produce news later in order to sell ad time.I think half the things we hear are planted for a reason and most of it is monetary.The Liberal news media sent this man to the White House but they can't control world events that either make or break a president. Internal events yes.They can, by running their mouths about classified material, do harm to this country.I think it should be treated as treason when they do.Woodward and Bernstein sold a lot of newspapers but what did it really accomplish except get rid of a Conservative enemy. The same media protected the Clinton's.There have been and still will be crooks in the White House.

After reading this piece by Mr. Schlesinger I know I can not count on any kind of unbiased reporting form US News and World Report any time soon. What Matthews said is totally unbelievable and shocking. From many polls taken of journalists over the last decade I knew that over 90 percent were liberal in their views. But I thought that journalists were to be professional and non- biased in their reporting. In the last year and a half I have witnessed the absolute total abandonment of any type of ethics and fair reporting of news in just about every form of media. This does not bode well for the security and well being of this country. Mark my words, when anything in the next four years happens negatively in this country the Obama administration and 95% of every media outlet will blame George W. Bush for their situation. No responsibilty will be taken for their own actions and the media will never hold them accountable. With a media like this that no one can trust our country and freedoms are at risk!!!!

The bottom line is, having a microphone in front of your face changes nothing. People have so many media outlets.

How can there be a biased media when I can read and watch pro John McCain coverage all day long if I want to.

I can also read and watch pro Barack Obama information all day long too. The liberal media and the conservative media do not have a profound influence on elections. Hell, the liberal media could not even stop George Bush.

Idiots like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, who think they can sit on the radio all day long and talk people into voting against Obama, are way too full of themselves.

The media is entertainment, and no one watches the real news anyway. Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and Charles Gibson have less than 1% of this country for viewers.

In 4 years we will have another Presidential election, and nobody will give a rat's ass what the media thinks.

Chris Matthews actually says he is fair and not a partisan. His proclamation of loyalty was a direct violation of his prior claims during the Bush years that he was being a "watchdog" of government.

This incident made it clear as day, however, that Chris Matthews is a liar and a left-wing partisan Democrat.

I'm sure this blogger would have been outraged had a Fox anchor like O'Reilly said something like Matthews did.

But then again, MSNBC is so much more biased than Fox it's not exactly a surprise.

Beavis Christ of DC 4:28PM November 06, 2008

A.Rivers of Fl, I share your sentiments and I agree with you. Obama has always been a moderate and he should get congress to enact real legislative priorities like an infrastructure/jobs package, economic stimulus packages and re-establish America's foreign policy leverage over the world.

But, Republicans are bracing to oppose everything Obama tries to do..hence, he's gonna need that big stick. But I also think many liberals are in for a rude awakening when Pres. Obama doesn't necessarily go along with some extreme agendas.

I just wish him well and I pray God guides him...we need it.
