Tim Russert shared that bit of information with reporter Gwen Ifill when she mentioned the David Shuster situation on Meet the Press this morning. As we reported yesterday, Russert has played a key role in saving Shuster’s job to date.
So what does that mean? Until the election? Until the nomination is decided? Until the debate that MSNBC is desperately hoping to host is held? Go ahead MSNBC, pander to HRC. You’re just opening up the door to be held accountable to every candidate that feels offended when someone tells the truth about them. God forbid you do that. No asking tough questions either apparently, we can’t have that in this 21st Century now can we? Pimp wasn’t the best choice of words but it was totally accurate for the Clinton campaign’s use of Chelsea in lobbying Superdelegates and in contacting high profile celebs and news people for their official or non-official endorsement. I personally would have said they are whoring her so pimping seems mild to me in comparison. Meanwhile, a good man is apparently out of a job and for what? Telling the truth? If they got rid of everyone at MSNBC who had made a sexist and offensive statement on air they’d have to immediately fire Olbermann, Matthews, and Scarborough.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH SENATOR CLINTON. There is very aggressive behavior on MSNBC that leads to debasing language that is inappropriate and COARSE. It’s one thing to suggest that Shuster was an isolated incident, but it’s part of a pattern. The network has repeatedly FAILED to address the problem adequately. Why? Meantime it goes on and on and on and on … I used to watch NBC religiously, from the local programs to the national programs to the cable shows. I am NO LONGER.
Anna, you are really inhumane. I cannot believe the nerve you have to defend David Schuster. Hillary is first a mom and then a Public Official. Are you just plain crazy? I am from Arkansas and so is David Schuster. His family used to have a furniture business here. I was shocked that he would say what he did and I saw the show as he said it. David used to be a great reporter but something has happened to him and I believe it is pressure from a non person lunatic such as Matthews and Russert who is also abnormally biased against the Clintons. Even Nora, (she used to be cute, but now is so obnoxious) she too is biased. I have emailed Senator Clinton countless times even before this remark by Schuster about Chelsea was made and ask her not to participate in any more NBC or MSNBC on air events. MSNBC has gone over the line and this makes 2 apologies they have been forced to give to the Clintons. I cannot stomach watching NBC or MSNBC anymore and a lot of other people can’t either. They are 3rd in ratings now. Those of you on here who are bashing the Clintons about this are way over the line and have no character.
Imagine if he had made that comment about Obama’s kids or wife. The uproar would have been worse.
Shuster should have been suspended as well as Matthews & Tucker. I have blocked all NBC stations on all my business TV’s as well as my personal TV’s. Expected to get complaints from business ones (Resort) but no questons so far.
The Politico scored a HUGE scoop on this story. They have the emails between Shuster and Hillary’s press secretary.
Way to go, Politico!!!!

What Shuster said was rude and crude. There is no place in “professional” journalism for this sort of thing. Hillary is right on this one. Any mother would flip out at something like this.
I don’t see sean hannity getting fired or suspended for the things he does commentry or even packages on his opinions on hillary or even the clintons either.
Msnbc caving to political agendas really makes me hate watching many media outlets everything has gone to to PC. this whole thing with david is just proving that the don imus effect is now the main role in media you say somthing your being held accountable and when nbc head bosses send you out to say sorry
they cave in and still fire you but this time suspend you. Anyone who is out to defend hillary get your heads out of your but cheeks and see she is playing the “sympathy card” over and over
when she crys its reported about non stop when shes out of cash and then said to of given her own money to her campaine think about it you nitwits
she needed this pr cause what david siad was TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT how much money do you think she raised out of this stupid senerio that was blown up.
John, you are an idiot if you think what Shuster does is comparable to Hannity. Shuster is supposed to be an unbiased journalist. He hurt the profession. Hannity has helped his profession.
Remember when lots and lots of people wanted Bill Clinton fired? What he did was far worse and had far greater consequences than this error of judgment by David Shuster. Hillary defended her husband but she wants Shuster strung up. Is her compassion and understanding only for members of her own family?
I forgave Bill Clinton and I think that Shuster deserves no less. For Hillary to pursue this to the point of him losing his job would show her to be hypocritical and mean spirited.
comparing shuster to bill clinton is ridiculous…clinton didn;t sleep with jessica cutler
It seems to me that all of the major networks are guilty of this negative tone toward Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. At first, I was a little shocked to see it coming out of NBC, where political correctness does apply sometimes toward certain groups. But, then I remembered, oh yah, she’s a woman running for President, who in the hell does she think she is, how dare she! Watching this play out I’m reminded of Anita Hill, Martha Stewart. None of this would have shocked my 82 year old mother if she were alive. But, my generation, we need a wake up call! Remember girls, these guys are going to hang her from a cross before this thing is over, same as it ever was, same as it ever was…
