Related: About this forumWhy did Clinton Cheerleader Maddow do the voting skit on her show?
She did a skit were Republicans came over and voted in the Democratic Caucus to vote for who they want to run against. She didn't name the candidate.
Since she is pro Clinton was she encouraging people to help out Clinton or making an excuse if Clinton loses or maybe a little of both...
It wasn't done for no reason....

(9,086 posts)If Maddow wasn't towing the party line she would have been fired a long time ago.
Probably they did it to use as an excuse in case of a Sanders upset.

(9,086 posts)Both of those channels are approaching Fox News levels of fantasy.
Fox has more blatant lies. But CNN and MSNBC shape the conversation by selectively choosing news that fits with the image they're trying to create and the story they want to tell.
It's so bad I can hardly even watch it.

She's a Clinton cheerleader now? Oh, my. That bus factory must be working round the clock to generate new fleets.

(18,775 posts)She seems like she's trying to stay professionally neutral (as far as the Dems go) and is geeking out on the process and how unusual this election is.

(32,886 posts)Obviously I don't like the pieces that were tough on Hillary, but I have to agree that she is more or less being fair.

She's a nerd who loves to delve into the process.

(62,444 posts)Nevada college Republicans are pushing this scheme, which is technically compliant with the rules.
She was explaining how the scheme works, and it is surprising you find it biased, since she pointedly did not say which candidate the Republicans are planning to promote in this manner.

(15,806 posts)a demonstration of Nevada's flawed system. Kind of amazing, really. A state that tightly monitors gambling holds the security of voting to a much lower standard.

(28 posts)Now Maddow is a corporate pawn.....huh?
If Maddow had announced a scheme by republicans to come into the caucus and vote for Hillary so Bernie could lose... this OP would not have been written. There would be a call to arms to get those rascally Weepublican for those dirty tricks. This rage against Hillary Clinton is so unhealthy. Some therapy might be helpful.
