Newspeople give Obama free election advertising?

Newspeople give Obama free election advertising?: "Is MSNBC providing free advertising for President Obama?

A network promotional campaign being run this summer on the cable network and in movie theaters is raising eyebrows among some viewers who believe MSNBC is actively campaigning for Obama's re-election, and possibly admitting Obama may not be a natural-born American citizen.

'Sometimes I think the critics of the president are just clearly unfair when they say he doesn't love this country,' says Chris Matthews, anchor of MSNBC's 'Hardball' program in one of the 'Lean Forward' ads directed by Spike Lee.

'And here's a guy of mixed background, and he said 'Only in this country, my country, is this story possible.' I think that was the greatest testament to American exceptionalism. I don't think that you can say that in Japan or in China. You can't go these countries and become Chinese.'

Then while pointing to the White House in the background, Matthews concludes by saying, 'And look where he is.'"
