One of our Media Bias categories at NewsBusters is Double Standards. There was a classic example of the phenomenon on today's Morning Joe. The show's running theme was relentless mockery and ridicule of Ted Cruz for crossing the street yesterday to calmly debate a group of Trump supporters.
But later in the show, when a clip was run of Hillary being confronted by a West Virginian over her boast that she would "put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business," the panel reverentially praised Clinton, giving her "credit" for her courage in doing so. The panel had the chutzpah to insist that Hillary's moment was "organic" and wasn't staged. Really? She's sitting around a table with a handful of voters. Is Morning Joe asking us to believe that the former coal company worker wasn't hand picked and that Hillary wasn't fully briefed on what to expect? Please. Earlier, Mika Brzezinski actually introduced the Cruz segment by saying it was an example of someone "choking like a dog." The double standard was glaring and outrageous.

Watch Morning Joe ream Cruz for speaking with critics while praising Hillary for doing the same.
Freakin’ double stand ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Joe Scarborough, CINO, Conservative in name only.
Take this with a grain of salt. Newsbusters = Media Research Center = Brent Bozell = hysterical never Trumper.
I am the author of the item: Finkelstein=governs. I am not a Never Trumper and intend to support him if he runs against Hillary.
Please just view the item, including the video, and judge for yourself.
MSNBC?
Didn’t it go off the air?
If it weren’t for “Double Standards” these people would have no standards at all.
Who watches ‘Morning ‘Ho”?
Yo.
PS: as Rush would say, throwing in a little Spanish lingo ;-)
watched it this morning...I thought it was funny.
Morning Joe is a lefty who know how to pretend to be a conservative or non-communist. Why News Busters sends all the viewers to him, makes me wonder about News Busters.

I understand that some choose to ignore the MSM, but given the MSM’s continued influence, at NewsBusters our stated goal is to expose and combat liberal media bias. We have no hidden agenda.
