A Perennial Press Opera

From where I sit, it looks like its Clinton who has been getting something of a "free ride" from the media - especially the media talking heads who have handled the debates. Hillary's Republicanesque voting record particularly on foreign policy issues, defense contract pork, and anti consumer legislation like the so called bankruptcy "reform" has been barely mentioned. although if her voting record isn't relevant to her nomination, I don't know what is...

I can't handle seeing a black man with only a couple of years of experience in national politics, or any other person with that little experience, being elected President. Get over it.

It is ivident that the press supports obama. He has been anointed as the savior and the press totally refuses to delve into his platform with a unpartial analysis and unpartial reporting of same. I am very concerned because many of the comments that I read here are obviously from the biased Hillary haters, which hate her because of the hype they have heard over the past 8-10 years. It is very immaterial whether or not Hillary knew about Bill Clinton's sexual episodes and how she handled it. She is under no obligation to explain anything to you haters or the media. So much misinformation and slanted reporting has been put out by the media against the Clinton's that I am wondering how this country will continue forward. Obama is given everything by the media - but what the media fails to comment on, is what is obama really bringin into the whtite house without experience? This is the most frightening issue of all. Without experience, what will he accomplish? It won't get better, it will become worse, because without experience, he will put into his cabinet those people to whom he owes favors to by their contributions. Don't think so? Think again - obama is no different from any politician. His weapon for hiding this is the media and the celebrity endorsement, brought to you by ophrah, the kennedys and crew. How much money and how much behind the scenes work is ophrah doing here? You simple don't recognize this. The male Hillary haters are convinced she is the worse woman in the world, becaus she is a woman and because her last name is Clinton - and all of this influence is put forth by the media. Clinton did not bring up the race issue --he made a statement which was then picked up by the so called black eleite - Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, the two most racist and biased people on earth which the media ingnored. Stating that Chelsea Clinton has been pimped out by the Clintons is disgusting. Unfortunately, with all the bias from the media, what iwll happen is that the republicans will tear apart obama and I say good for them.

to change party affiliations and vote for the best candidate out there. He just happens to be a Republican whose record speaks for itself. Ron Paul. You may have been brainwashed by the media that everyone despises so much, but if you non thinking Lemmimngs would do a little research you would discover the truths no one (candidate or media) wants you to know. His voting record is Pro Taxpayer, Anti War,


Balanced budget

Pro Balanced budget. He votes the way the laws specifically the Constituion of this country require. If all the other candidate could say the same, everyone would be treated fairly by the media. The only reason Hillary thinks she's being singled out is because she has something to hide. Don't get me wrong, I have no issues with a woman , or an African American in the Whitehouse. They just need to be honest. Dr. Dave

I truly believe that the media does see Barack Obama as the second coming of Christ, but in do time the media will turn on him pointing out his flaws and inablilty to lead this nation. But by the time, it will be too late and America will have nominated a man that is not ready to run this country and is not ready to contend with a republican candiate in a general election. Obama's people are cult-like and the countries democrats are becoming more divided than we have in a long time. This is a history making campaign, but also a smack in the face for all democrats when he enters the White House! Hillary will make a come back an she will be our President!

For the first time ever, the press has held a Democrat to a higher standard, and the Clintons are in shock. Republicans get grilled all the time. When Democrats are interviewed, they get cream puff questions from fawning reporters like do you think we should all have health care and be millionaires. When Republicans are interviewed, the reporters get nasty and only ask divisive questions like abortion and gun control.

Of couse, the press isn't biased with 90% of their contributions going to Democrats according to a recent study, and all major news shows headed by Democratic administrations.... George Stepanopolous, Chris Mathews, and Tim Russert.

Back in 2000 when I first heard talk about Hillary running for pres I was not thrilled or enthused, in the least. As a matter of fact McCain had also been forecast by many political pundits as her opponent. I don't find political family dynasties very appealing, especially when the position they seek is the same and not far removed from the previous office holder. It makes me feel a little more like a royal subject and less like a citizen. But once this race for the Pres started and it became clearer who we had to choose from on both sides of the isle, my choice became quite a bit easier. My first pick was Joe Biden, who I knew didn't stand a chance in hell, because of lengthy career in Washington and the small state he came from. Hillary quickly became my best and only choice. Obama had potential for the future and had been on my scope since his senate race just a few years earlier. But he seemed to way too green. I'm African-American myself, but never even considered voting for him just for that one reason, or to make a statement about race in America, or to make history. My concern is for the current state of the country and who I think based on everythiing we know about them is best suited lead this country now. Both at home and abroad. This is not American Idol or a vote fro the prom king/queen. We cannot role the dice again on a virtual unknown fresh faced, I'm an outsider hear to save you from the evil corrupt broken Washington, again! How stupid can we be? This is not a new type of politics! This is the "same old same old" the "status quo". The bias against Hillary and in favor of Obama seemed to start around the time he won Iowa and the press seems intent on continuing until the bitter end.

if someone were to merely put up the pictures from the press showing images of Clinton vs Obama it would be obvious to a second grader that the press is so biased. They have failed in their responsibility as the fourth estate and are nothing more then paparazzie trying to sell Brittany Spears to us. George Stephanopolousi is a perfect example. When Bill Clinton was at the height of the impeachment crisis he turned on his former boss.. He is nothing more then the guy who hosts the survivor reality shows, lacking any real susbtance and not particualry bright

Has everyone forgotten that Rove offered in an open letter how Obama should battle Hillary? Of course, the Republicans want to run against him! They will highlight his admiited drug use and make him look like a terrorist-arab-muslim sympathizer. Did everyone forget how the repubilcans defeated Harold Ford in TN, Harvey Gantt in NC and Max Cleland the invalid war hero in GA? In each case, they used common low-life stereotypes and exploited bigotry. Obama will be an easy target for the Atwater/Rove divisve and hateful tactics. And, the media will cooperate as if they do not see the strategy unfold. Remember, Whitewater was a failed investment that was investigated for 6 years while governors all over the country did much worse to increase the land values of their cronies. Clearly, the media has been manipulated by the repubilcans for years!! Most are a lot more worried about their next pay check than the good of the country!
