I don't know the first thing about David Shuster of MSNBC.  But, it sounds like he is a total moron, like many of his MSM colleagues.  Now, HRC has had this guy suspended for using the words "pimped out" in relation to Chealsea Clinton.  

Now, it seems that this is a phrase polite people don't use in polite discourse.  Frankly, it is a deplorable thing to say about a young lady and I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt.  I have certainly never heard any thing bad about Chelsea.  After all, it is not her fault she is related to Bill and Hill.  

But, when has the MSM ever been polite to conservative candidates or their kids?  When has a MSM reporter ever been suspended for saying something nastier about conservatives?  Well, I can't think of a time.  

This doesn't mean the guy shouldn't have been suspended.  He said a deplorable thing.  But, I'd like to know that there is a small chance that reporters will be suspended when they say deplorable things about conservative candidates.  Is that asking too much?  I suppose it is expecting too much....

Oh man!

I had heard about this when I was listening to the Rusty Humphries show. I'm sure Rush commented on it as well as Sean and Mark. Anyway, Rusty got into the details about what Shuster said and he was referring to the way that Bill And Hillary were treating chelsea, but that of course was ignored. A caller reminded him about the resturaunt owner that had a picture of chelsea in his establishment and the Clintons threatened him with a lawsuit if he did not remove it. chelsea by the way, had no problem with the photograph and I think it was she that gave it to him.

I heard about that mea culpa that Matthews did but what just stung me was Bill O'reilly.

I was listening to his show Saturday morning and he expressed surprise and outrage over NBC and it's "apparent" bias and open endorsement for a Democratic Presidential Candidate (which happened to be Barak Obama.

I was stunned. I wondered where the man has been the past 17 years. Must have been sleeping and I doubt NBC is  the first and only network that has openly supported one Presidential Candidate.

But alas, what I have stated could be a bit over what your subject was so here's another turn:

Just think of this as a prime example of the Clintons and their true intent when dealing with any element of the mainstream liberal media that does or says something "THEY" don't approve of. 1st Amendment rights be damned.

Has Rupert Murdock, Roger Ailes or anyone at Fox News Corp or the assorted Conservative Talk Show Hosts been pressured by any Republican to apologize or change any remarks they have made on the air?

I thought I heard a mouse fart, it's so quiet.

Well, it is obvious that the Clinton's hold enormous influence in much of the media.  I saw Matthews shoot his mouth off on a late night show.  I was shocked that he would say such things and immediately knew he would be apologizing within a day or so.  And he did.  

But think of all the truly awful things Matthews says regularly about the GOP and conservatives.  I have NEVER heard him apologize or retract a nasty statement about them.  But, he is kowtowing to Clinton the day after he speaks his obviously vapid mind on a late night show.  

I don't know if Murdoch, et. al. have been pressured.  But, frankly, Brett Hume and company rarely make the kind of outrageous, personal, ad hominen, and libelous attacks on liberals the way that Matthews, Rivera, Olberman, etc. make on conservatives.  

I am going to guess that if Rush, Hannity or Levin had been asked to apologize we would have heard about it from them as they refused to do so on the air.

David Shuster is on Morning Joe. Up until this he was kind of a nobody, so I think he wanted to say something "cool" and took it a little too far.

From what I've heard, Hillary's camp actually wrote a letter to the president of NBC and he leaked it to reporters.

Well, you can't rule out such grandstanding on his part.  Matthews has dissed HRC on the air and got off with an apology.  Maybe Shuster figured he could too.  Maybe more MSM types will try to make a name dissing HRC.  Hopefully, they will be less crude and despicable about it and leave Chelsea alone.  Heaven knows there is certainly enough to talk about with HRC that one needn't drag her daughter into the mud.
