I don't watch Fox, but MSNBC ran the Jeremiah Wright story into
the ground. Almost every morning for eight weeks, Joe Scarborough
and Pat Buchanan feigned outrage every morning about the 3 or 4
Wright sound bites. Buchanan was a guest on every show but
Olbermann's legitimizing Jeremiah Wright as grounds for Obama to
withdraw from the race. When Wright appeared on Moyers'
Frontline, MSNBC began playing the sound bites again several
times every hour, although there were no new sound bites.

Never in all this time did MSNBC cover Hillary's 15-year membership
in The Fellowship, a/k/a The Family (although NBC had actually
done a segment on it -- see below.) McCain's lunatic Reverend
Hagee was not mentioned until last week after Frank Rich wrote
a column about him.

On April 30, 2008, John Kerry addressed MSNBC's biased coverage
in an interview with anchor Alex Witt(less):

WITT: Okay. He said it. A 20-year relationship. Reverend wright married him. He is the one who baptized a god parent. How personally painful is this for him?

KERRY: Can I say something to you? Obviously it is painful and he said it. You folks need to let go of this. Television needs to stop dwelling on something that is in the past. I thought Barack Obama yesterday gave America his second big presidential moment of this campaign. The first when he spoke out about the issue of race. The second yesterday, when he made it clear, every one of the statements of the minister are just unacceptable. They're not the person that he knew before. Now let's move on to how we'll put people to work. How are you going to give people health care? How are you going to create jobs in america? What Barack Obama is offering in this gas price issue is real leadership. I mean, do we want people who sort of put their fingers in the wind and throw out an idea for the short term that is sort of politically pleasing, or do you want a here who stands up and says, no, what we need is to really lower gas prices by having a real energy policy, an intelligent policy that puts in place the incentives for renewable fuels and alternative fuels. That's what Barack Obama is doing. And it is you guys have to focus on the thing that really matter to the American electorate. The other thing is just worn out, old history now. This guy had his narcissistic moment and it is finished.

WITT: Okay. Point well taken. Did I say to begin, can I just say, sir, I knew you weren't going to like that question. On the record.

KERRY: Let's move on to the thing that really matter to people. I think people in America are tired of this stuff.

WITT: Okay.


I cannot find the date, but here is Andrea Mitchell actually discussing
The Fellowship:
