A Perennial Press Opera

Hill have been dismissing Barack's words, speeches that don't bring food to the table. Now she is laying out her 13 point economic plans, shouldn't the voters then ask her they are also words and won't put jobs and food to the table ? Yes she has experience, but they are all spectacular failures ! Let's take Hillarycare that she was pushing very hard into actions according to her plan, the result is what drives her to have her hairdo pass-in-review for weeks and sent her touring around the world. Then she has a long term plan for the Clinton restoration with even details for her way to the coronation. It involves raising a lot of money to scare away any challenger and recruited powerful party establishment sycophants. We are way past to her way from her road to her coronation and she squandered all the advantages she had, emptied her campaign war chest and found herself trailing on a path not taken. With that kind of very recent track record, why should the voters believe in her economic plans in the first place ? I'll let her record defeat her own plans, for she is the real Talker and a very Bad Doer, even as she attempts to reprise Bill's reputation of a mulligan !

Your article states it is not true the press has "gone easy" on Obama which is totally inaccurate - from day one he has been left off the hook of true press scrutiny just like Bush was leading up to the Iraq invasion. Hope the country doesn't pay the same price for this failure by the press that we've paid for the Bush failure.

Olbermann used to be the voice of reason on cable news, unfortunately he become a biased and downright arrogant TV personality. I will refrain from watching is program until he returns to his previous form....If he can.

I actually think the same way. There has been several times where CNN has giving way more coverage to Senator Obama's campaign than to Hillary's. I watched a couple of times Anderson Cooper interrupting Hillary's supporters and letting Obama's ones talk without interruptions. Sometimes I wonder who is funding Obama's campaign. It seems even Republicans are supporting him just because they know it would be easier for McCain to win against him that against Senator Clinton. It is a shame the media does that, but then again it is not the first time it happens.

How ironic, that when scandals loomed grey above the Clinton White House, the Clintons wanted the press to "just go away", no scandals over here they proclaimed...and the disgusting later truths, is now part of history. Hey, maybe BILL does truly TRULY believe that an 8yr term of some few successes, primarily with your pants tangled around your ankles most of the time in the White House is "memorable" TO HIM at least! The good ole'90s...sweet! And a ticket back to the White House for more of the same...sweet! What a "fairytale" is right, and now he owes dogged allegiance to his main co-conspirator, co-concealor and architect of LIES thru his years of scandal & impeachment hearings...his wife HILLARY! Just like they requested of the press, I think most of any intelligence, would NOW want them "to just go away!"

Whaa Whaa Whaa
If the press isn't dancing to Clinton's tune, too bad. If she thinks she's getting the short end of the stick she should take a look at the media's representation of Ron Paul. She might not be getting the representation she thinks she deserves, but she's not being completely ignored like Paul is. Quit your whining.

This love affair with Obama has been going on for several years now.You have poked him down our throats
and run him out our ears. Frankl;y it makes me want to throw up.

I agree with jasoninpa. I can no longer stomach MSNBC, and I used to watch it non-stop. Ironically, it is the republican pundits who seem to sympathize with Hillary when they see her subtly and not so subtly slammed by the Jason list. I don't agree that it has anything to do with a Rove conspiracy - the media is simply infatuated with Obama. When the author says that the press has "scrubbed [Obama's] slender record", what he fails to note is that the press has said virtually nothing of the fact that it *is* slender. Very slender. So it's a deeper bias than simply "mostly positive coverage". Its "ga ga" coverage. And I'm sick of it. I hope Clinton crushes Obama in Texas and Ohio, and the press is hung out to dry.

The media during the debate in Richnomd, (Va.) between President Bush & the 'young upstart' Bill Clinton, was a good example of media bias. The 'warm up' session with the local questioners -by a Black female media person was a joke. Virginia was Bush country, so none of the warm-up questioners, deemed slanted towards Bush, by the mderator and/or the control room, were given a chance to ask their questions during the live nationwide telecast.

CLINTON'S TRy to USE THE MEDIA TO Spread the race card. THIS IS WHy they cannot complain. LIKE I said the CLINTON's time has passed this is why we have term limits. How hard do youu think the media would be on BUSH if he RAN again in two thousand eight.
I REALLy like the CLINTON's personally. I REALLy think they are good people who are dedicated and committed to helping others. MONEy has never been their motive. THEy DID NOT EVEN OWN A HOUSE IN THE EARLY DAYS. THEY WERE IDEALIST WHO REALLY DEDICATED THEMSELVES TO THEIR 'MISSIONS'.
IT IS unfortunate that the LEWINSKy mattere messed things up. I HATE TO SEE BAD THINGS HAppen to good people. CLINTON JUST HAD ONE WEAKNESS. HE JUST NEED TREATEMENT. I FEEL REALLy bad for the guy because it is so personal. THE AFFECT OF LEWINSKy are still being felt. UBELIEVABLE.

I cannot believe that this great land will permit ' Bill and Hillary' to jointly lead and manage this wonderful country because they certainly will try with or without a sympathetic congress or senate. Watch out you voting public, do not be fooled. This country needs strength and truth (once also described as ethics).

"... the press is almost certain to turn on both men. Digging through the personal record, searching for human flaws, is what reporters do when they cover presidential campaigns, and the critical skepticism only deepens when the winner occupies the Oval Office." WHEN? When it is too late, I suspect.
