My letter to NBC News - re Clinton coverage
Advertisements [?]

I have never seen such bias against a political candidate as your network has shown toward Hillary Clinton. Your talking heads have done their utmost to downplay any gains or victories won by Mrs. Clinton, while giving Mr. Obama an almost free ride with any negatives he may have. When it comes to Mrs. Clinton, however, she is subject to the most intense and withering scrutiny.
In particular I would like to complain about Andrea Mitchell's coverage of Mrs. Clinton. She can hardly mask her dislike of the candidate, it fairly drips out of her pores. If a so-called objective journalist cannot hide her dislike of a candidate, she needs to be replaced in her assignment, as it is essential that fair and equal dispassion be shown to all candidates in such an important election season. David Gregory would provide much more balanced coverage in my opinion.
Having made this point, I will continue to watch your network, but if Mitchell doesn't change in her attitude (I can't be the only one who's noticed this), I will be going over to ABC for election coverage.

Honestly, they are so biassed against Clinton, it's almost unbelievable - this after they ignored Edwards to death - and before that, Kooch.
