Is MSNBC's firing of Mark Halperin prrof they are Obama's personal media outlet?
This week MSNBC contributor Mark Halperin was fired for calling Barack Obama a "dick"
However the same network has had no problem with contributors using far more vulgar language to describe Conservatives and Tea Party activists. They routinely use the word "tea bagger" and at least once referred to them as "ball suckers". They also call republican politicians, racists, rednecks, bimbos, and whores. In light of all these vulgar attacks, is calling Obama a dick really that big of a deal? The fact is, they have no problem with vulgarity in politics as long as it is directed against the right. But any commentator who criticizes Obama is fired immediately. Obama called up his state run media channel and told them he was offended and the network fired the offender. Is it appropriate for a president to have that much control over a news outlet?
EDIT: proof
are you happy now?
A few years ago they tried to be balanced. But about the time they fired Tucker Carlson, they gave up the illusion of being an objective news source. Now they are just Obama's propaganda machine.
There have been many liberal commentators on Fox that have used vulgar language in criticizing conservatives. They may get warned to use cleaner language, but they are not fired for expressing their opinion. Yes Fox tends toward a conservative bias, but they always allow liberals to rebutt any argument. That is why they can claim to be fair and balanced. They allow all sides to be heard and let the viewer decide which is right.

Right-wingers cheered when MSNBC suspended Ed Schultz for calling conservative commentator Laura Ingraham a "****" and they cursed MSNBC for suspending political analyst Mark Halperin for saying he thought Obama was a "****.

Yes, it is. All of these news media channels have a bias.
MSNBC and CNN is staunchly liberal-democrat bias.
Fox News is staunchly conservative-republican bias.

Any person without a bias knew that MSNBC are white house propaganda central long ago. The people that still think MSNBC is not bias will never believe they are no matter what happens.
Obama is so tied in with GE that you have to really be brain washed to ignore it all.

I would think that if the President was going to designate a "media outlet", he would at the very least, pick one that people watched.

Your hate not only is messing with your spelling. It also has clouded your reasoning and facts as well if you ever had any of either. Your getting your opinions confused with facts.

This is no longer a story. Most people know that MS (wacko) NBC is a subsidiary of the Obama administration. I only wish they would bring back the only "truth teller" they ever had on their network, that's right, MICHAEL SAVAGE.

See FOX would have never used language like that.

Not exactly, but the effect is the same
The media are rife with labor unions, and the unions own Obama

You can't preach in the Cult of Obama and call him a dick, obviously. You could call Bush all kinds of names, but not ... ogghhhh, not the chosen one!
