MSNBC's treatment of Bill Clinton is disgraceful.

This is a man who served our country with distinction. We are so much better off for having elected him.

They just showed clips of ex-presidents on the anniversary of D-day. They showed Reagan, Bush 43, and Obama. They totally excluded Clinton, who was there for the 50th anniversary in a very prominent ceremony.

Shame on them. And let me once again thank our fine former president for his lifetime of service.

1. The media is only as liberal as the conservative corporations that own it.

A bumper sticker I saw once.

MSNBC only offers some left-leaning shows because they see there's money in it, but their true colors are always there beneath.

IF MesSNBC is airbrushing WJC from historical stuff, it might be a (very) tacit admission that he was a serial rapist-predator. His defender-enabler should also fear the airbrush unless she gets the Dems' 2020 nomination.

That must have been a very big bumper sticker.

I don’t know how MSNBC’s ratings are now, but the last time I checked they were so low that it looked like only DUers we’re watching.

And The Daily Show as well.  Clips of that used to be cited on other outlets frequently when Jon Stewart hosted.  The media must be keeping another black man down with their treatment of Trevor Noah.

7. Can anyone provides a contact to express an opinion about that?

And.. many of the MSNBC crowd came from Newsweek that treated both Clintons in 2008 with barbs and disgrace. We did not renew our subscription after that.

It was only good when Craig Kilborn was the host. None of that "clown nose on/off" crap.

Bill Clinton's treatment of the oval office was disgraceful.  A far more accurate statement.

Yup.  The use of his human humidor also exhibited his total disregard for cigars.    I cannot help wonder how the DUmp would have reacted if Bob Dole had created the comeuppance we are seeing now back in 1996 when Ross Perot got Bubba elected.  Let see, Bubba was a Vietnam draft dodger extraordinaire.  Bob was a disabled WWII veteran.    Oh yeah, lets just pass that down the memory hole.
