Hillary had her daughter Chelsea make calls to some of the Democratic superdelegates asking for their support. That's fine...free country. An anchor on MSNBC expresses disapproval that Chelsea was 'pimped out' for political reasons. That's fine...free country. Hillary gets mad and threatens to remove herself from scheduled political debate on MSNBC. Sigh...free country. NBC makes multiple on-air apologies, forces anchor to apologize on-air, and suspends anchor. Grr...free country? (AP story)
Don't want your daughter to be in the media spotlight? Then don't use her for political means. At 27 she's a big girl now and can decide for herself.
I'm sick of politicians who can't tolerate any dissention. "You're either with us or against us!" If those are my two options, then I guess I'm against you. The other choice means giving into your coercion. There's a name for that. Terrorism. This attitude is why people don't stay informed or get active in politics. This attitude is why our foreign policy and reputation is in tatters.
I'm sick of news media that lacks any kind of balls or integrity. Instead of Woodward and Bernstein style investigative journalism we are led to believe the whole story can be covered by letting someone with an 'R' and someone with a 'D' after their name speak for 20 seconds each. FOX News, ever so efficient, eliminates the person with the 'D'.

It was fun to do a google search for "NBC is a bunch of pansies" and this site and article were at the top of the results list.
