I agree with what X said. The media, particularly MSNBC, is more concerned about cracking Hillary's alleged "inevitably" than they are about reporting the issues. As X said, the media is a business and a business wants to make money; for the media, they want ratings, and that can only be done (particularly at MSNBC) if there is another contested Democratic primary. They already know there's going to be a contested Republican primary, as there was in 2012, but most Republicans don't want MSNBC so it's not going to matter to them. I wouldn't be surprised if they are cavorting with the MoveOn/Daily Kos crowd that's trying to get Warren/Sanders into the race all because they have hated Hillary from Day 1 all because of one vote she made over a decade ago.

IceSpear is correct about the media being pro-Obama for most of the primary. They were actually pretty fair up until the Iowa caucuses and from then on out, they did all they could to get her out of the race and him in office. It was a very sad day to have discovered that she got more favorable treatment from Fox News than at MSNBC.
