Barack Obama: Making History- David Axelrod Interview See more from Chris Matthew’s interview with David Axelrod, senior advisor to the 2008 Obama campaign, as he speaks about the first time he met Barack Obama and when he knew Obama could one day become President of the United States of America. “Barack Obama: Making History” premieres Monday, September 3 at 10 p.m. ET on msnbc. Poster Comment: Here is a perfect example of how "unbiased" the media is. MSNBC's Chris Matthews just HAPPENS by accident to air a "documentary" on how wonderful Barack Obama is on MSNBC tonight during prime time. Hey! If you can't trust Chrissy and David Axlerod for unbiased viewpoints on Obama,who can you trust?

That tingle in Chrissy's leg don't come cheap, and the taxpayer is paying some of that bill.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
??? all joking aside, what possibly are their prime time viewer numbers? my impression from the rightward slant -- and not even knowing where to find this alleged news program -- are they not somewhere near as popular as the current version of air america?
------always bet on black------
hundreds,counting family members and other alleged journalists? my impression from the rightward slant -- and not even knowing where to find this alleged news program -- Supposed to be 10 PM EST on MSNBC. are they not somewhere near as popular as the current version of air america? I'm sure the word has gone out to the party faithful to pump up the numbers tonight.

This article makes reference to it: CNN Airs The Most Ridiculous Statement I’ve Ever Seen On Television When a friend tweeted me about a line from CNN’s Romney Revealed documentary, I thought he must have misheard or paraphrased it, but as it turns out, Gloria Borger‘s narration of the Mitt Romney profile really did contain the most ridiculous sentence I’ve ever heard on television, so ridiculous that I’m half-suspicious CNN is actually a cabal of master satirists who are making fun of the Republican presidential candidate. The portion of the documentary in question covers Mitt Romney’s stint as a door-to-door Mormon recruiter in 1968 France, a duty which helped him to avoid military service in Vietnam. Earlier in the doc, narrator and interviewer Gloria Borger glossed over the fact that Romney sought, and received, four deferments during the Vietnam War (and later lied about it), instead saying simply that he was “exempt as a student, and with a high draft number.” The doc also notes, as an example of Romney “becoming his own man,” that he protested in favor of the draft that he so skillfully avoided, before moving on to the time he spent in France, a time that Romney once described as “tough” because the French were “not happy to see Americans, because we were in Vietnam at the time.” Yes, you heard that right. Not only did Mitt Romney protest in favor of sending other people’s children to die in Vietnam, even as he avoided service himself, he then complained about how those dying Americans made it “tough” for him while he was in France avoiding service. Perhaps to avoid charges of bias, the documentary steers clear of these contradictions, but then takes the whitewashing to blindingly absurd levels by introducing the next segment with the aforementioned most ridiculous statement I’ve ever seen on television. “In 1968, France was a dangerous place to be for a 21-year-old American,” Borger says, “but Mitt Romney was right in the middle of it.” That’s right, in 1968, the year in which the highest number of American deaths in Vietnam were reported (16,592), France was a dangerous place to be for a 21-year-old American who was avoiding service in Vietnam. Aside from the constant danger of having one’s eye put out by an errant baguette, what hardships did Mitt Romney face while he was “in country?” Well, all those dying Americans were causing protests in France, and as a result, says fellow Romney missionary Mike Bush, “There was no train service, there were no buses, no newspapers. The electricity would go off from time-to-time.” The electricity would go off from time-to-time? Mon Dieu. Think of the horrific flashbacks to rudely-interrupted Gilligan’s Island reruns and spoiled escargot. But the horrors of Vietnam-era France didn’t end there. “There were no letters from home,” Bush continues. “The money at the time came via check. That was our lifeline was getting letters from home.” So, CNN’s story is that Mitt Romney had it tough during Vietnam because the protests in France made it hard for his dad to send him money. That’ll give anyone the thousand-yard stare. The quest for “objectivity” has increasingly become the quest to avoid charges of bias, but in Romney Revealed, CNN seems to have bent over so far backward that they ended up unintentionally parodying the poor guy. Mitt Romney, and CNN’s audience, deserve better. Here’s the clip, from CNN’s Romney Revealed: (h/t Don Millard)

Are you somehow under the mistaken perception that I am a fan of Massachusetts Mitt?

He killed one of his passengers as well as a Catholic priest unlucky enough to be on the same road as Willie-Mitt. It's mandatory for a priest to drink wine at Mass. It's despicable to imply that the Priest was at fault. How much did Mitt have to drink? Those jack Mormons can't hold their liquor.

I don't know how you come up with that? I don't think we've had a discussion on the topic nor have I made any reference that you are 'a fan of Massachusetts Mitt?'.

Bordeaux in June 1968 when a car driven by a Catholic priest who'd been drinking crossed into their lane and smashed head-on into their Citroen DS. The accident killed the Mormon mission president's wife, who was seated in the front between her husband and Romney.
