that olberman/matthews lesson had a great impact.   Temporary only.    I can only imagine the amount of emails, snail mails and calls the alphabet networks are receiving.   They've certainly gotten plenty from me lately.  This is their collective gulp.

It may seem like she's striking a blow for fair coverage, she isn't.  Then she effectively lets her listeners know which side she is on when she questions Governor Palin's alleged extremism in 'having it all.     They are having to twist themselves into knots. 

Well, looks like monkeys can indeed fly out of you know where.

Mika also stated that her own husband fielded 'MORE THAN 50% of the household responsibilities to allow her to do this job' (not an exact quote).

Obama to MSM: STOP HELPING ME ALREADY!

when nbc announced that they were going to make some changes at msnbc,  i wonder if a notice went out to the talking heads ,to lighten up on the bias. i noticed a definite change in chrissy mathews , almost like he had an awakining and now mika. then we all know that leopards do not loose their spots.

I was thinking while watching this this morning that McCain and co are geniuses for picking Palin.

Fascinating to watch the supposed advocates for woman's rights calmly saying things like "let's face it. men and woman are different" (some "journalist" on MTP yesterday) when trying to defend the attacks on Palin and the double standards being applied.

It's a crock of poo...

The fact these two women found a way to hear "less condemnation than a collective gasp of amazement" says it all.

This isn't "veiled judgement": it's only veil is that it isn't rabid dog attacking like most of the other stuff out there.

But it is clearly passing judgement.

And it is stunning hypocrisy.

It is telling all of us that those sensible working women out there are lined up against the craven ambition of this Palin who -- tossed womanhood and motherhood aside --- for the Republican party.

And it is a crock of poo - if you've paid attention to what we've been hearing the last couple of decades from these same groups.

What the [bleep] happened to Murphy Brown?!!?

I thought giving a 150% and eating your cake too was the crowning achievement of womanhood.....???? (without the man too boot....)

Is Palin having to give 150%? She's got a husband, right?

But that's also my point overall:

--- what happened to men these last couple decades of championing Murphy Brown....???....

What happen to the role of the father?

They were systematically buried by these groups and many of these same types in the media.

But a Murphy Brown was the role model: A woman who could do it all - alone --- and when she felt like it - even throw in motherhood too.

----and these very same real-life female reporters would have been spitting blood angry at anyone who dared question that a ---- single mother ----- all alone in the world ---- could NOT have any and every success in the world + raise a healthy, well-adjusted child!!!

I thought it didn't matter if a woman went the Oprah or the Martha Stewart route.

When did the kids become a liability to gaining the support of the feminist establishment?

(I guess when Palin got nominated........)

I guess all those Murphy Browns --- all those single mom's out in the corporate and business world ---- have to be tarred and feathered now......... 

Bravo Mika...

I saw all this early this morning here...

Mika spoke volumes for all real women everywhere...volumes.

Katty Kaye and Claire Shipman are such fools...talk about being blatantly obvious...and Katty can't even be Katty with any degree..what elitist snobs who are so in the tank for Obama they would sell their own reputations...such as they ever were to begin with.

Palin Power indeed...

The leftists are running so scared now that this is getting to be fun watching them all devour each other, what is shameful is how fast the women are doing it to themselves on the left side of the aisle.

By the way, what Buchanan said was the truth...it is because she is a woman with an 'R' behind her name...a strong one at that ..who is going to clean their clocks with smiling ease.

If it wasn't for Palin McCain wouldn't of made the 11 point gain in the USA/Gallup poll..he's better keep her very close by his side where-ever he goes....let her do the talking John, you just smile and say a few words here and there and you've got it in the bag.

Once again, it was nice to see Mika be fair and balanced, let alone upset with these two gals who are helping our side of the aisle...I personally hope these kind of people keep up the attempt at smear with BS...no matter how pitiful it is. 

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

Mika and Kirsten Powers, and Geraldine Ferraro and a few others are realizing how horribly unfair this is.  Everyone has their light bulb moment with  the lies of liberalism and hopefully these people will start to turn on the flawed philosophy. 

I'm sure these people will still vote for Obama but they are starting to see things differently.  

About Sarah Palin's treatment by the liberal elites since last week.

I suspect her "change of heart" is the real deal, unlike her cohort Andrea Mitchell.  Mika was truly angry at the double standard (she actually jumped out of her chair last week in total disgust at a panelist's stupid comment), particularly in regard to the unfair reporting around Palin's family situation.

Geraldine Ferraro, somewhat to my surprise, has also been out-spoken in her criticism of the media's treatment of Sarah Palin.

If someone like Mika, who has so obviously been in the tank for Obama, has this kind of reaction to the MsM idiocy, imagine how the "average" female Hillary voter is going to react.

This blatant bias has people really furious.  MSNBC's demotion of Obie & Chris indicate to me that they are finally starting to get it.  Too bad they picked Dick Gregory....I'd have preferred Chuck Todd, but he's not as well know. 

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

Scarborough must have fainted at home. I'm sure that he wishes that he hadn't been absent. After watching Mika hold nothing back and then Buchanan egging her on, I immediately checked other stations for reports of cats sleeping with dogs.

That said, you could see this rising to the surface last Thursday or Friday. This is a big deal to Mika. She seemed a little put off by the coverage up through Tuesday or Wednesday of last week. But when Sally Quinn and some other writers started trashing Palin about her choices, Mika had seen enough. If the media keeps trashing Palin along these lines, I half expect Mika to show up next week with a McCain-Palin shirt on.

Beyond Mika's unrestrained display of contempt for media elites, it's funny to watch Harold Ford's reaction to events. He's usually pretty even-tempered in his support for Obama. But today, in a later segment in which they were discussing the race going forward, he and Buchanan were getting into it a bit. I think Harold was restrained when he thought Obama could go on cruise control until the election. I'm beginning to wonder whether Harold has more at stake in Obama's election than meets the eye. He's not in office now, and maybe he's eyeing an appointment in an Obama administration. Whatever the case, he seemed a bit strident in both his advice to Obama's campaign and in his defense of the same campaign. 

If I say I don't trust some in the MSM sudden about face. Personally it has more to do with damage control then a sudden change of heart, especially from the female side of the MSM who thought every woman in America was going to be on their side when they started attacking Palin. Their just trying to cover their @$$es that's all nothing more.

"9 out of 10 doctors agree that flag burning is the number one killer of liberals."

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of Mika.

For decades the liberal left, NAG and womans' groups have said women could have it all, do anything, be anything, have kids, be a CEO, a publishers, in other words a Professional with a career. Well, John McCain found such a woman in spades who happens to be by all accounts an ultra conservative and the left does not know whether to wind their watches or soil themselves. Their own words are now haunting the hell of them. They find themselves playing a game of politicalTwister, trying to touch all the spots while not falling on their collective ass. Trying to parse the topic without blowing their own covers and it isn't working worth a flip. Everyone sees them for the hypocrites that they are and that annoys the hell out of them too. I thought the day she was announced by McCain as his runnning mate that if you could create a candidate (like in the movie Weird Science) it would be just such a woman as Sarah Palin. Her name came up months ago and I had to go search the internet to learn who she was. I was blown away then but thought never in a thousand years will McCain pick her. Prayer does work!

I think they manuvered Obama to pick some old Washington dead wood by pointing out and hammering on his lack of foreign policy experience. They knew he would not, could not pick Hillary. Him picking Joe Biden was divine intervention. He is practically an incarnation of Foghorn Leghorn when it comes to running his yap and between him and OB they will hang by their own words.

I have just one thing to say further. Never play poker with John McCain.
Obama put all in with a weak hand and Mac called the bluff with a barn
burning hand and he knows it. He played it perfectly, from the choice to the timing of the announcement. Don't mess with old people, they'll kill you. Remember, McCain was an "Attack" pilot and one of their favorite tactic is come at you out of the sun so you can't see them coming till the bomb is already released and on target. 

Last week was bringing up about the double standard.So this is no surprise.Give credit where credit is due.Kirsten Powers has always be pretty straight up.I dont agree with her on issues most of the time but that is the great thing about our republic.We have the right to disagree.There are folks out their like Susan Estrich and Geraldine Ferraro who do have principles.They may not agree with Sara on the issues but they have called the msm on the double standards.
