MSNBC Runs More Stories on Cain 'Scandal' Than it Did Obama's Ties to Ayers, Rezko and Wright Combined

As of Monday, the so-called news network MSNBC has already run more stories about Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's alleged sexual harassment than it did Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's ties to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, convicted real estate developer Tony Rezko, and America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright combined.

At press time, the Obama-loving outlet had aired at least 30 segments involving the now growing Cain scandal since it broke late last Sunday.

Yet according to LexisNexis, in the over 20 months between the time Obama announced his candidacy in February 2007 to Election Day 2008, MSNBC offered viewers seventeen stories concerning Ayers, nine involving Wright, and none dealing with Rezko.

You read that right.

In less than eight days, MSNBC has done roughly four segments a day on the Cain scandal while airing about two pieces a month on Obama's three shady connections combined.

Exactly how do the heads of this so-called news network justify this glaring disparity in coverage?

Readers are advised that MSNBC doesn't transcribe all of its programs.

and see.The accuser, I bet,she will be the first "guest" on the today show, Tues. Curry and lauer will putting words in her mouth to make Cain look guilty. As soon as she leaves the today show, she will hit the other two morning shows and tell her tale of woe. If this was such a terrific ordeal for her, why did she continue to stay in the car and not call the cops and then, sue for millions. They also claim she is a Tea Party follower and a registered Repub. Wonder who is footing the bill for her and her lawyer. She is unemployed and am sure she could use some cash, through a lawsuit.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven of a set up. Over a decade later? Gloria for a lawyer? Reading from the script? Something smells.
