MSNBC's David Shuster suggested that the Clinton campaign "pimped out"
Chelsea C. "by having her place phone calls to Democratic Party superdelegates on her mother's behalf."
There is to be a Dem debate in Ohio Feb 26 but Hillary may boycott it. MSNBC has apologized.
 
to my thinking it would hurt hillary to not appear on msnbc.it would give obama an edge and later if she wins the nomination it will give the republican candidate an edge.

Thing is that MSNBC is not even a blip anymore in the cable news race.

...as they should have. Play fast and loose with the facts and you open yourself up for this kind of crap. Shuster had it coming...
 
The problem I have is with Shuster's use of crude street slang in what is otherwise a news report. Have we really sunk so low in the era of blowhard pundit news TV masquerading as 'newscasts' that we now use phrases such as 'pimp out?'

Shuster didn't mean to insult Clinton. That was obvious. We all say things from time to time that we are ashamed came out of our mouths. But using street slang in newscasts is highly unprofessional in any respect. Shuster should be suspended for that. Fired and ostracized entirely? No.
 
I have a problem with chris mathews having to apologize for his comment about bill and Hillery. the nature of his show involves opinions .some popular. some not.and if it offends a politician or celebrity they should let it ride.his coment did not rise to the imis comment levil.

it is bad when because they offend certain people they have to back down and give an apology.

While I don't think the individual should be ostracized, whats unfair in the employment world is if you went on an interview and used street slang, even if not derogatory, or sent a letter with grammar error/typo, employer can at will not offer employment. If they think you're too old, or they are racist or whatever reason, no explanation is needed to not offer employment, even if you're the most qualified and capable. Yet, when someone has the job and does a mistake (even if its a pattern, or of big consequence), its just a suspend at most, because that person can bring a lawsuit against the employer, even on premise on something else - like the race card.
 
going back to chris mathews, isn`t ironic the network puts a show on called 'hardball " and the host lives up to its name and has to apologize for his comment on the clintons?

mathews could have decided to apologize on his own but I doubt it.
 
Keith Olbermann apologized on "Countdown" last night on behalf of the network.

It was an accident, and everyone is making more out of it than there should be. Schuster should personally make an apology to the Clinton family, there is no doubt about it.

It seems like the Don Imus incident all over again for MSNBC.

In your household, perhaps. Of the schlock that passes for cable news, MSNBC's is the most tolerable in my home. And my news channel watching still remains low, and deliberately.
