Hillary's top advisers have repeatedly complained to MSNBC about Chris Matthews.

Good for Greg Sargent and good for TPM:
Anyway, this should settle it: As dumb and clueless as Shuster's "pimp" remark, this was never really about him. The Clinton campaign, while genuinely upset about what Shuster said, lashed out at the network because they were primarily irked by Matthews' conduct, and were sending a message to MSNBC that it's time that Matthews muzzle himself.
Of course Tweety was the biggest problem, but Shuster (who defended Matthews and has his own pattern of sexist comments), Joe Scarborough and the entire network have a sexism problem in their coverage. But the important thing is it was about NBC's pattern of behavior, not about David Shuster's one remark. Good to see TPM acknowledge this.

Yes there are many news people who are racist and using the station for their Republican Party. Most of the Executives are ordered by the owners of the stations to do as the White House tells them. Now that the public has seen that the News isn't fair or balanced the viewer ratings are going down. Each station is worried about the sponsors as with no viewers on money. David Shuster just joined in as he saw Tweety has been doing this for years and others have done their share with no punishment. If I were Hillary I'd go to the debate to, then show this clowns what respect looks like.
