Busted: MSNBC Butchers Bill Clinton Mid-Quote to Make Him ‘Slam’ Obama

snip//

When they’re not relentlessly promoting Donald Trump‘s presidential candidacy, MSNBC spends much of the rest of their time slashing at the tendons of Hillary Clinton‘s bid. That second hobby was on not-so-brilliant display Friday night on the network’s primetime All In with Chris Hayes broadcast.

All day Friday, the anti-Hillary internet was abuzz over former President Bill Clinton‘s slam on President Obama at a rally in Memphis Thursday night, a damaging narrative given the herculean effort the Clintons have made to repair the rift with Obama coalition voters, particularly black voters, that was created during the 2008 campaign. Holding the president close has also become particularly important in view of the upcoming South Carolina Democratic primary.

What was this heinous slam against President Obama? Here’s how Chris Hayes reported it Friday night:

Hayes: If that’s Clinton’s winning strategy, she might want to make sure her husband is in the loop. Bill seemed to go a bit off-message last night in Tennessee while campaigning for his wife.

Clinton: She’s always making something good happen. She’s the best change maker I’ve ever known. A lot of people say, you don’t understand. It’s different now. It’s rigged. Yeah, it’s rigged because you don’t have a president who is a change maker.

Hayes: (knowing glance)

The “slam,” in case you missed it, is that by extension, President Clinton must be saying that Barack Obama is not a change-maker. He must be. Mustn’t he be? I mean, it can’t be that MSNBC cut him off in mid-sentence right before he was about to get the crowd to deliver a huge ovation for President Obama, could it? Not in mid sentence!

(Applause so huge Bill has to wait for it to die down, then continue talking because it won’t)

P.S. Liberal blog DailyKos, meanwhile, has had the presence of mind to delete their “slam” story. When you are getting outclassed by the Dailies Kos and Caller, it’s time to think about your life, MSNBC. At a minimum, the reporting needs to be corrected, but really, someone needs to look up the food chain at how things like this happen, and fix it.

Much more.. Vid @ link..

So as I continue to say.. Hillary has the M$M, the GOP, BS and his supporters running against her.. and she's still going to WIN because look who is on her side?!

That's right!

Because I haven't found ONE who isn't a Bernie shill on MSNBC. Not. A. One. And you'd think these people are politically savvy enough to understand how our gov't works to know that even if, by some rainbow-farting unicorn fantasy, Sanders wins the nom and the G.E., he's done NOTHING for his colleagues in Congress so they'll do NOTHING for him. Result? The Democratic Party will be considerably weakened -something President Obama has worked HARD to change in the past seven years.

If we agree with the progress President Obama has made on behalf of Democrats and this country (as well as other countries in the world) then we owe him a candidate worthy of his sacrifices, and one who will continue strengthening us...and that candidate is Hillary Clinton - the ONLY Democrat running in this race.

...most of the rest of the news/opinions stations have...their advertisers, owners and the stockholders. I also have felt that Maddow, and most obviously Hayes, have a bias towards Bernie.

I believe they lean towards Bernie so Trump has the best chance to be the next president.

If they can't have "The Apprentice" and "Celebrity Apprentice" - why not "President Apprentice"?

Corporate media is once again the tail wagging the dog.

Tell me again how Hillary is the "Chosen One."
