Between Monday’s Nightly News and Tuesday’s Today, NBC devoted ten minutes and forty-four seconds to coverage of the now six-day-old controversy surrounding New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Meanwhile, poor ObamaCare enrollment numbers just released Monday afternoon garnered only forty-one seconds of air time on Today and were completely ignored on Nightly News.

On Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams touted investigations into Christie’s “bridge traffic scandal” and hyped “an investigation into how some of the emergency relief money was spent after Hurricane Sandy.” Williams announced: “It is quite clear that for Christie’s political rivals, it has now become something of an open season.” …

Based on the ads for “enhancement” drugs on the nightly news broadcast I would say their viewers are dying off faster then they are begin replaced.

Makes sense in a way. Though I don’t like Chirstie’s position of ceding America to Mexico or his playing handmaiden to the King he is a Governor. Obama is simply a community organizer.

Krispy was never going to get my vote but this is just pure political character assassination at its most base. The funny part is the drive-bys think they are being so clever in their manipulation.

Although it’s dispicable the way the MSM tilts their coverage, I really don’t mind them blasting Christi to help eliminate him as a ‘16 candidate. .....The man would lose against any Dem candidate, as it’s only the upper East States that like the guy to any degree and fly-over country will not vote for the jerk.
