NBC News Admits Anti-Tea Party Bias!

By Mark Finkelstein

At the top of Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough referenced the hateful emails he and Mika had received from the left and the similarly ugly signs held by Wisconsin union protesters. Mika reflexively defended the vileness, saying that people were "hurting and really don't feel like they're being heard."

Aww. But later, the show rolled video of some of the Wisconsin signs, including one with crosshairs on Gov. Walker, another calling him Hitler, one accusing him of rape, and of course that great old standard "death to tyrants."

To her credit, Mika did change her tune.

Admitting that she hadn't previously seen those signs, Mika agreed with Joe that if Tea Partiers held up something similar, "they'd be on a [MSM] loop."
