Prior to last night’s showdown between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, MSNBC displayed a set of “tasks” for each candidate to accomplish in their performances. Compare the two lists below and see if you notice something a little off:

For MSNBC's sake, I hope these were written at the last second.

MTV national correspondent Jalil Smith presented the graphics, saying, "First thing's first. He needs to stop lying...he needs to respect the intelligence of the American people."

In addition, Smith presented Clinton as "the only serious candidate in the race," adding that the former Secretary of State needs to "be the Clinton that shines in a smaller crowd."

"She needs to wrap some humor around her criticism for Trump, to make him look more ridiculous, rather than say, more outrageous," he continued.

Many people on Twitter took notice of the uneven coverage:

You'd think if the media knew they were biased, they'd at least try to hide it -- perhaps even MSNBC, arguably the worst offender of all. But clearly, these so-called "journalists" are either truly that dense, or they have lost all semblance of shame.
