Filed under: MSNBC, Barack Obama, David Gregory

Everyone already knows about that tingling feeling Chris Matthews gets up his leg when he hears Sen. Barack Obama give a speech, and now campaign cash contribution records reveal another MSNBC anchor who might have some pro-Obama leanings.

Financial records indicate that Beth Wilkinson, wife of MSNBC White House reporter David Gregory, has contributed $4,600 to Obama’s presidential campaign. To Big Head DC’s knowledge, the newsman has not disclosed this contribution to viewers.

Gregory’s new MSNBC show, Race for the White House, debuts today at 6 p.m.

  1. 27 Comments to 'More Evidence of MSNBC’s Pro-Obama Bias?'

    It was a real problem for MSNBC that they were not endorsing Obama enough. It became apparant that Tucker was being too professional,but the new format will correct all that. We will be beat up 24/7 in the” race “to report that Obama should win. MSNBC lost all objectivity since swooning for the taupe prince. To say that they are in the tank is an understatment, they are the tank.
    I personally love it the way I love reality shows on Bravo. They don’t know that they are the bias, ethically challenged, bankrupt to the core, and that they behave on TV in a way that suggests, that they have some issues left over from high school

    You know I really hoped Gregory would be an improvement to MSNBC but then we find out that he and his wife contributed the max to
    Obama’s campaign. Did anyone notice that SNL was really toned down this week to almost no mention of Hillary and they had the black DUDE on that said, I am not real sure what he said or meant.
    That show sucked this week but at least for 3 weeks straight they did help Hillary and that surprised me to see NBC allow that.
    MSNBC has the worst ratings of any of the 3, I believe Fox is #1 and CNN is #2. I really trust Fox more now and though I don’t agree with some of their views they at least do report the news as it really is.

    We really don’t need more evidence of MSNBC’s bias. It was perfectly evident when they were still recommending that Hillary should drop out of the race even after she won the primaries in Ohio and Taxas.

    _________________________________________________________________
    Since when did she win Taxas (sic), she had less delegates coming out of the state. It was media spin that led the majority of her uniformed supporters (as yourself) to believe she won the state. SHE DIDN’T! It is a delegate race, as per Hillary’s own admission…at least until the delegate math became to overwhelming for her to overcome. Now it is a “big state” versus “small state” strategy! Stop moving the goal posts. She should have been forced by the DNC to drop out weeks ago! If all this Rev. Wright info had come out earlier maybe the race would be different. It didn’t, so get over it.

    Yes, keep listening to Fox. It’s only a matter of time before they will be digging up Hillary’s graveyard of skeletons and bringing them to the public. Then you will be saying Fox is biased again. Like it or not BO is the front runner and the most likely Democratic Nominee, of course they are going to be all over his ass! If (small if) Hillary is the nominee, then we will see how fair Faux news is!

    Oh thank you for letting us know that the nomination “race” is over….you style is great! The whole delgate thing…and who cares about those pesky voters in FL and MI???? Since the truth about Odrama didn’t come out til this weekend (thanks to our gumshoe press)we should ignore the truth and popular vote and give it to someone who has not received the required amount of delegates to secure the nonimation. And we should also carry out the charade in a feckless upbeat manner??
    She did win the popular vote there , it is those insider cauc(ass) votes that Odrama comes up with at this late date…
    Face it, the process has been corrupted.

    After all the bad press last week, it is mind-boggling that BO keeps getting more and more superdelegates. He even got one today! Doesn’t look good for HRC. The supers should have ended this weeks ago to begin with.

    A few points:

    Were these or weren’t these the rules that all candidates agreed to prior to the primaries?

    Did Clinton along with the other candidates PLEDGE prior to the contests to disallow the votes in FL AND MI?

    Even with the contests in FL AND MI as they stand now (after MS), Obama has the popular vote, most states, and most delegates!

    Sorry to tell ya, but guilt by association probably won’t sink Obama! Clinton is done she is too far down. McCain may still win the general, but as long as Clinton doesn’t get the nod I don’t care. Superdelegates are still defecting from her AFTER this Rev. Wright flare up!

    You can’t change the rules in the middle of the game because you aren’t winning. Sorry buddy!

    Well if this isn’t conflict of interest or unethical practices, it at least explains a lot! Be it legal or not, it sure doesn’t look good.

    This is just too difficult to believe! I am trying to wipe the look of shock off my face! Oh, nevermind, it’s sarcasm-not shock!

    Would msnbc still defend obama if he was racist like his pastor and have the views of 9/11? They hate the clintons so much that their judgement is clouded. I lost all respect for msnbc. I thought journalist wasn’t allowed to donate money to a political campaign. A journalist in our area donated money to a campaign and I think they were let go.Was 2300.00 donation part of David Gregory?

    She won the PRIMARY in Texas. That is what I said, not the state. My point was that the MSNBC pundits were saying she should leave the race, within minutes after the network projected her the winner there. Results of the caucuses did not come until later. MSNBC showed a very strong pro-Obama bias that evening, even though Hillary did well.

    Anyone else notice how Obama was saying all last week, “no i wasn’t in church when he said those things” “I’ve never heard those words before” Then in his speech today he admits that he was there.. and he did hear those words. He clearly has a credibility issue. “what i meant to say was”, “what she meant to say was” should be the Obama’s new campaign theme. He is so being let off the hook here. The media allows Obama to use a speech to answer the questions that I and alot of other Americans wanted answers to (who wrote it?). specific questions by the media would have been the way to answer the Rev. Wright issue not another kuumba ya speech which is getting old because of the inconsistencies with his original message.

    Obama ran televison commercials in Florida. The media never mentions it. If they did the rest of the country would say he cheated, which he did. His name was not on the ballot in Michigan but that was his choice, Clinton, Biden, Kucinich, were on the ballot.
    Every time someone questions anything from the Obama camp it is emmidiatly called racist. WHY DO WE PUT UP WITH THIS BULL****???OVER 2 MILLION VOTES WERE CAST, THEY HAVE TO COUNT…
    SINCE Obama cheated in Florida give the delegates to Clinton and have a Caucus in Michigan which is how Obama is succesful.. now that is fair. BUT I CAN JUST SEE HIS MEDIA will TURN THIS INTO AN INJUSTICE.
    WHAT A JOKE THIS RACE HAS BECOME FOR SEN.OBAMA, EVEN WITH ALL THE MONEY HE SPENT CAMPAIGNING, 4-1 HE STILL COULD NOT WIN IN TEXAS OR OHIO, AND IT LOOKS LIKE PENNSYLVANIA WILL DELIVER BY 20 OR MORE. KOOL-AID IS WEARING OFF, JUST IN TIME FOR THE REST OF THE PRIMARIES..
    01-20-09..THE END OF AN ERROR..NO MORE ERRORS..VOTE HILLARY FOR REAL CHANGE.

    Maybe michigan and fla voters should protest. That is what sharpton and jackson would do.I have never seen an election like this one in which some of the media is just short of bowing to obama like he is god.It is sickening.They are forgetting there are two other candidates in the race as well.

    I for one am not sure why they are treating Obama as the second coming of Christ???? What is it?? He lies and lies, gets caught and then he is allowed to make a speech to cover it up. Why doesn’t the media ask him directly about all the inconsistencies about what he says???I don’t need Obama to tell me about race issues in this country, we all know about them and we all know that we are doing what we can. He quotes others and the media fawns over him instead of asking why he lies???
    We are picking the next President of the United States not the next American Idol. He has consistently lied to the nation and all the media does is let us know when his next speech is comimg.
    BUSH HAD THE SAME THEME 7 YEARS AGO, CHANGE, UNITER,INEXPERIENCE, AND LOOK WHERE HE LED US. DON’T BE FOOLED AGAIN
    01-20-09..THE END OF AN ERROR..NOT ANOTHER ERROR ON CHOOSING A PRESIDENT…HILLARY FOR REAL CHANGE

    I am wondering if Odrama hooked up with wright to prove he was “black enough” back when he was a state senator, his opponent Rush, a former panther, made fun of his Hawaiian prep school background. He just found this guy and now he’s stuck with him. My issue is why couldn’t he find a SANE black liberation preacher in Chicago. Problem with Wright isn’t his radical politics but his lunacy. Please, his rantings about the US government spreading AIDS as a form of genocide is like believing in UFOs.

    As a Joe Biden supporter for President (I still think he is the best candidate), I’ve tried to be somewhat neutral when watching TV reports on the campaign fights between Clinton and Obama. I’ll support the eventual Dem winner whoever it is. However, I’ve been very disappointed in the bias of some of the regular commentators who are supposed to be reporting the news not trying to create it. Leaving out the campaign strategists and the FOX network (I don’t watch it) here are my ratings on the ones who I’ve watched on TV so far:

    BIAS FOR OBAMA: Keith Olbermann, Chris Mathews , David Schuster, Eugene Robinson, Richard Wolffe

    SOMEWHAT NEUTRAL: Johnathon Alter, Dan Abrams, Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan, Bill Press, Rachael Maddow, Lou Dobbs (He hates all politicians).

    BIAS FOR CLINTON: There probably are some, I just haven’t seen them.

    I’m interested in others opinions on these and other commentators’ bias or neutrality. Thanks

    Obama is tangled in a web of lies, inconsistentcies, sexual scandal, drugs, and racism dialogue. This doesn’t sound like the best way to launch a presidential candidacy let alone unite the USA! Michelle Obama has been writing of’seperatism views’ since her Princeton University thesis more than 10 years ago. Look it up! This couple brings nothing but division and trouble to this race. I am African Am., educated, a physician and feel that this duo are the wrong team of Af. Am. politicians to represent this nation. Until we have a better option…vote for the better choice.

    The attack on Obama about Rev. Wright is unfair because he is
    being taking to the public court administered by the media. He
    is found guilty for what someone else say? I guess if someone you
    know does something wrong you should suffer because of them?
    The things Hilary did,reported by CNN and MSNBC should be told
    as consistant as Obama if you are going to report anything. The
    Bosnia story, NAFTA, etc.. Despite making public statement that
    he is totally against Rev. Wright, he is still being blamed for the statement(s) made by someone else. It appear personal attacks are being made against Obama, and because of who he is for personal gain. There are people who are aware about what is going on.
    It appear Obama is running against others for president, the media, and outside personal attacks as seen on the internet.
    Look, Obama is not responsible for the entire economy, only to
    offer his personal care for people in this country, and his more
    than the ability and know how to fix it. Stop judging Obama the
    negative way.
