Clinton Camp Praises Fox

Remember when they came out with Obama in African garb and everyone said it came from the Clinton campaign. Well, it was actually first published in a little known rag sheet called the “examiner” in early January. I was on a cross country flight and grabbed one at the newstand. Low and behold, there he was, as one blogger put it, looking like “toilet paper boy”.
I remember looking at it at thinking how ridiculous. But, of course what could you expect from a rag sheet? What was suprising is that the media actually took to story from a rag sheet and ran with it. A RAG SHEET for crying out loud. That’s what the media has come to.

I can’t believe even Carl Rove who I couldn’t stand since they stole the 2000 from AL Gore is not that bad. I never would have thought I would watch fox and Msnbc is gone as soon as this is over I like Morning Joe but sorry I have comcast just for msnbc but now it will be gone and I will save alot of money I also find myself pondering voting for MCcain or staying home.

Hilliary has the right to continue on…otherwise, why have primaries scheduled in March, April, June, etc.
Why not everyone vote on Super Tuesday.
Obama bowling is not newsworthy as it is shown on ABC, CBS, NBC.

The Clinton camp has a good and valid point. These days, I simply do not watch CNN, MSNBC, The Daily Show, and the Colbert Report anymore. Their biased views against the Clintons are frightening!

DL-Use your head man. There is a fundamental shift going on inside the democratic party itself. Fully one half of the democratic party no longer watch the old liberal press and no longer will that liberal press do our thinking for us. That is fully one half of democrats. That’s unheard of in this or any other time in democratic history. This spit is real and growing. Perhaps you aught to spend a few moments thinking what this really means.

if young voters think it’s a good idea to turn against older dems who have seen a little more than they have and who have a little more perspective and who have paid their dues just because the great obama is suggesting they do….let them. they will learn how horribly they have been used and how cynically they have been used by obama.
millions of us will be leaving the party…and that will leave you with 4 more years of bush lite. we are no longer draft age. is that true for you? see how well that fares with your imagined takeover of politics. good luck with that!
what a way to treat your elders. throw them out, say it is a new day…see how well that works for you in November.

As a die hard democrat, I am amazed at myself for tunning in to FOX News to get a balanced coverage of the Dem. Primaries. It is a testimony to how low the other networks have stooped for Obama. Ethics of journalism has been thrown out of the window by some feeling shrill going through their legs. Others have been intimidated by charges of racism if they criticise Obama and the rest of them like Olbermann working pro bono for the Obama campaign. It is unbelievable to say the least.

Long but worth the read, every statement footnoted:
Just Words: Senator Obama’s Record of Exaggerations & Misstatements (**Various noted sources)
Sen. Obama consistently and falsely claims that he was a law professor. The Sun-Times reported that, “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama’s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school. In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matter.” In academia, there’s a significant difference: professors have tenure while lecturers do not. [Hotline Blog, 4/9/07; Chicago Sun-Times, 8/8/04]
Obama claimed credit for nuclear leak legislation that never passed. “Obama scolded Exelon and federal regulators for inaction and introduced a bill to require all plant owners to notify state and local authorities immediately of even small leaks. He has boasted of it on the campaign trail, telling a crowd in Iowa in December that it was ‘the only nuclear legislation that I’ve passed.’ ‘I just did that last year,’ he said, to murmurs of approval. A close look at the path his legislation took tells a very different story. While he initially fought to advance his bill, even holding up a presidential nomination to try to force a hearing on it, Mr. Obama eventually rewrote it to reflect changes sought by Senate Republicans, Exelon and nuclear regulators. The new bill removed language mandating prompt reporting and simply offered guidance to regulators, whom it charged with addressing the issue of unreported leaks. Those revisions propelled the bill through a crucial committee. But, contrary to Mr. Obama’s comments in Iowa, it ultimately died amid parliamentary wrangling in the full Senate.” [New York Times, 2/2/08]
Obama misspoke about his being conceived because of Selma. “Mr. Obama relayed a story of how his Kenyan father and his Kansan mother fell in love because of the tumult of Selma, but he was born in 1961, four years before the confrontation at Selma took place. When asked later, Mr. Obama clarified himself, saying: ‘I meant the whole civil rights movement.’” [New York Times, 3/5/07]
LA Times: Fellow organizers say Sen. Obama took too much credit for his community organizing efforts. “As the 24-year-old mentor to public housing residents, Obama says he initiated and led efforts that thrust Altgeld’s asbestos problem into the headlines, pushing city officials to call hearings and a reluctant housing authority to start a cleanup. But others tell the story much differently. They say Obama did not play the singular role in the asbestos episode that he portrays in the best-selling memoir ‘Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.’ Credit for pushing officials to deal with the cancer-causing substance, according to interviews and news accounts from that period, also goes to a well-known preexisting group at Altgeld Gardens and to a local newspaper called the Chicago Reporter. Obama does not mention either one in his book.” [Los Angeles Times, 2/19/07]
Chicago Tribune: Obama’s assertion that nobody had indications Rezko was engaging in wrongdoing ’strains credulity.’ “…Obama has been too self-exculpatory. His assertion in network TV interviews last week that nobody had indications Rezko was engaging in wrongdoing strains credulity: Tribune stories linked Rezko to questionable fundraising for Gov. Rod Blagojevich in 2004 – more than a year before the adjacent home and property purchases by the Obamas and the Rezkos.” [Chicago Tribune editorial, 1/27/08]
Obama was forced to revise his assertion that lobbyists ‘won’t work in my White House.’ “White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was forced to revise a critical stump line of his on Saturday – a flat declaration that lobbyists ‘won’t work in my White House’ after it turned out his own written plan says they could, with some restrictions… After being challenged on the accuracy of what he has been saying – in contrast to his written pledge – at a news conference Saturday in Waterloo, Obama immediately softened what had been his hard line in his next stump speech.” [Chicago Sun-Times, 12/16/07]
FactCheck.org: ‘Selective, embellished and out-of-context quotes from newspapers pump up Obama’s health plan.’ “Obama’s ad touting his health care plan quotes phrases from newspaper articles and an editorial, but makes them sound more laudatory and authoritative than they actually are. It attributes to The Washington Post a line saying Obama’s plan would save families about $2,500. But the Post was citing the estimate of the Obama campaign and didn’t analyze the purported savings independently. It claims that “experts” say Obama’s plan is “the best.” “Experts” turn out to be editorial writers at the Iowa City Press-Citizen – who, for all their talents, aren’t actual experts in the field. It quotes yet another newspaper saying Obama’s plan “guarantees coverage for all Americans,” neglecting to mention that, as the article makes clear, it’s only Clinton’s and Edwards’ plans that would require coverage for everyone, while Obama’s would allow individuals to buy in if they wanted to.” [FactCheck.org, 1/3/08]
Sen. Obama said ‘I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage,’ but Obama health care legislation merely set up a task force. ”As a state senator, I brought Republicans and Democrats together to pass legislation insuring 20,000 more children. And 65,000 more adults received health care…And I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage.” The State Journal-Register reported in 2004 that “The [Illinois State] Senate squeaked out a controversial bill along party lines Wednesday to create a task force to study health-care reform in Illinois. […] In its original form, the bill required the state to offer universal health care by 2007. That put a ‘cloud’ over the legislation, said Sen. Dale Righter, R-Mattoon. Under the latest version, the 29-member task force would hold at least five public hearings next year.” [Obama Health Care speech, 5/29/07; State Journal-Register, 5/20/04]
ABC News: ‘Obama…seemed to exaggerate the legislative progress he made’ on ethics reform. “ABC News’ Teddy Davis Reports: During Monday’s Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., seemed to exaggerate the legislative progress he has made on disclosure of “bundlers,” those individuals who aggregate their influence with the candidate they support by collecting $2,300 checks from a wide network of wealthy friends and associates. When former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel alleged that Obama had 134 bundlers, Obama responded by telling Gravel that the reason he knows how many bundlers he has raising money for him is “because I helped push through a law this past session to disclose that.” Earlier this year, Obama sponsored an amendment [sic] in the Senate requiring lobbyists to disclose the candidates for whom they bundle. Obama’s amendment would not, however, require candidates to release the names of their bundlers. What’s more, although Obama’s amendment was agreed to in the Senate by unanimous consent, the measure never became law as Obama seemed to suggest. Gravel and the rest of the public know how many bundlers Obama has not because of a ‘law’ that the Illinois Democrat has ‘pushed through’ but because Obama voluntarily discloses that information.” [ABC News, 7/23/07]
Obama drastically overstated Kansas tornado deaths during campaign appearance. “When Sen. Barack Obama exaggerated the death toll of the tornado in Greensburg, Kan, during his visit to Richmond yesterday, The Associated Press headline rapidly evolved from ‘Obama visits former Confederate capital for fundraiser’ to ‘Obama rips Bush on Iraq war at Richmond fundraiser’ to ‘Weary Obama criticizes Bush on Iraq, drastically overstates Kansas tornado death toll’ to ‘Obama drastically overstates Kansas tornado deaths during campaign appearance.’ Drudge made it a banner, ensuring no reporter would miss it. [politico.com, 5/9/07]
Obama may be “short” on the donations, but certainly not so on “words” He can go “long” on “embellishment”!
With Thanks to Jane

Charlie, if it’s not Hillary I am voting for Nader. I am from FL and I am not going to give someone who is fighting so hard to keep my vote from counting. I have never voted for a republican and I don’t think I ever will. I know the result will be the same but I think we can send a better message if we vote Nader. But I am still hoping Hillary can pull it out. I contributed to her today for like the 8th time. Let’s be positive.

dl-If this is still a fifty-fifty nation and if Obama should win then those of us on the Clinton side hold the keys to the White House. Never forget that. My side is the ONE and ONLY way to the White House for McCain or Obama.

And people wonder why Hillary’s negative ratings are so high??? For a Democrat to reach out to Scaife, Fox News, and other FAR right-wing advocates is like selling your soul to the devil in exchange for 1 wish!
How disgusting and deplorable!

Tired of Drama,
Hillary ran out of money for her staff does not mean she doesn’t care of people when she runs this country.
I also wonder why Obama has so much donation for his campaign while the other candidates including Mc Cain don’t have that much money.
That’s why in GE Obama refuses to do public finance.

Hillary does not get favorable coverage often because she is using gutter type tactics which lends itself to a negative outcome. So its not the main stream media its the person. She never had a strategy for after Feb. 5th and she has been negative every since. She is using Fox and other right wing outlets to put out trash which isn’t fact checked, in context or so cherry picked it laughable. She will loose and will have herself and the gutter to blame for it not the media or her gender.

Leslie,
What exactly are those gutter tactics?
Standing up for voters?
Sticking to the issues?
Calling it like she sees it?
Standing down the Beltway boys network?
If only you would use such gutter tactics.

al writes, for the 6787th time in these threads: “He will never get my vote!”
al, we know that by now, and nobody cares.
He gets the majority of many millions of American votes, of delegates and states, and that’s only thing that matters.
Take a rest.

Maria-I can go one better. There are thirteen million of us, and growing, on this side who say differently. That’s only 1% less than the numbers on your side. You can use polls if you wish but here are real numbers. Come PA the numbers will close even more. So, stay tuned. The fight is only now beginning.

Did it ever occur to any of you Hillary lovers that the media is just reporting the news.
The only reason Hillary gets all the negative news is that she IS negative. Her entire campaign is negative.
I didn’t even include the finger wagging red nose, red faced Billy Boy with his speech on the occassional football clip or saddle up and let’s have an argument. Then there is sweet little 28 year old Chelsea telling college kids their questions are none of their business. I didn’t even mention the Bosnia whopper she “misspoke” on or Carville calling Richardson Judas.
I say game on people…game on. There has been plenty of Obama bashing in the news and on these blogs.
It isn’t the media’s fault when they report negative Clinton headlines when negative campaign tactics are all there is to report on. If they didn’t report that there would be NOTHING to report. Then you people would be whinning about Hillary not getting ANY media attention.
Hillary is setting us up for the sweeter softer side just right before the Pennsylvania primary…wait and see. Right now it is poor Hillary is being bullied and asked to quit the race. It is poor Hillary is being treated unfairly by the media. Tomorrow it will be something else.
One day the fighter…the next day the victim…but ALWAYS the liar.

Hey Just a Fed Up Voter,
You sound like you are just a fed up Republican voter. Not satisfied with your choices? Please take it up with your man Bush. We can’t help it if Ron Paul did not make the cut for you.

Just a Fed Up Voter-So does MEDIA mean Fox?

herta-Who do you suppose FL and MI will vote for? Does the general have caucuses? Furthermore, never underestimate the opposition republicans by what you see today.

it is pretty sad that the self-whiteous “liberal” media is so one-sided….independent media research organizations like mediamatters.org and factcheck.org have unveiled the hostility towards the clintons.
Ken — if obambi did this, he would be unifiying the country. when clinton does it she is opportunistic. you are the very disease that rendell is talking about. if you actually click and read the articles, it said that some of them were reconsidering clinton…maybe they had just been nasty for no reason at all.
the dems are week. clinton should leave this wretched party. obambi will lose and be a sissy and blame clinton.

Dogsoldier:
I am not partial to *ANY* news network. I don’t blindly listen to or believe what any one person tells me. I listen to a variety of individuals who have a proven track record of journalistic integrity and objectivity!
People like Ted Koppel (before he retired), Tim Russert, George Stephanopoulos, John King, and yes, sometimes even Chris Wallace (on Fox). Most importantly however is that I do *my own* research before arriving at a conclusion! And in the case of Hillary reaching out to Richard Mellon Scaife and his paper: the “Pittsburgh Tribune Review” (a man who funded an investigation into the death of former White House counsel Vince Foster to determine if the Clinton’s were responsible for his “murder”, when all the evidence clearly pointed to suicide and a man that Hillary herself proclaimed to be the root of the “right-wing conspiracy” against her husband), yes, I find that completely disgusting, hypocritical, and crossing the line of running an ethical and an above-board presidential campaign!
Winning *at any cost* is never an option for a person who must have the moral fiber, integrity, and honesty required to earn the most important job on the planet. And while not all candidates are perfect (yes Obama too has flaws and has made mistakes including showing a lack of judgement with some of the people surrounding his campaign), he has nevertheless shown to have far more integrity and moral character than Hillary Clinton!

Herta,
Is Obama getting ready for the November “caucuses” by practicing bowling in Pennsylvania? You know, they weren’t impressed with this type of suck up attempt to relate to the working class people.

Gotta go to work.

Danny,
I can tell you have an open mind as you claim, that you were not already biased against Hillary, and that you carefully placed in the right context the fact that Hillary Clinton went in front of the editorial board of the Trib as a matter of request by the Trib to answer their questions in order to form an editorial opinion, as opposed to the “reaching out” case as you described.
I’ve run for public office and if you want to stand a fighting chance you go through these Q&A sessions with your allies and with your enemies, to try to soften the latter.
By the way, how often and how many times a day are you required to do the “Yes, we can” chant each day?

Later Dogsoldier. Keep up the good fight!

The caucus system is the most ridiculous system. Hillary would have locked up the nomination if we simply had a nationwide primary on a single day.
If Iowa was a primary, may be Clinton would have won and she would have locked up the nomination before Feb. 5.
I think a single-day nationwide primary should be conducted. Electoral college weightage should be assigned and winner take all approach should be used.
In any case, I hope Pennsylvania will change the narrative.
I think the Liberal Media hates the Clintons so much that they will be rooting for John McCain if Hillary is the nominee.

Now that it’s not April Fool, at least on the East Coast, you Clintonistas can stop dealing in reality (Obama Win) and go back to your Fantasy Land (any scenario or math wizardry that has Clinton winning other than by stealing the election)!
WCM — Very Clever, something we haven’t seen from you in quite some time as your desperation has been showing big-time!!
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

OK, my best posts got deleted. I’m cashing it in. I’ll leave the rest of you to be put to sleep by the drivelings of JackT, age 51.

well, you can’t blame Spiritual mentors to teach the truth, it is either you accept his teaching on certain aspect or not. WCM do you beleve the FOX thing LOL!!!!

DON’T BE DUPED !!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.
But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).
I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.
“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)
Sincerely
jacksmith…

Fox is actually covering Barack with critical eyes. Unlike Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Andrea Mitchell who have ditched their spectacles by the road to don Obama-Goggles.
Women with children, working people who don’t go to Starbucks are hurting. Hillary speaks to them. Its the backbone of America. She will win.
Let’s not forget that Barack’s allegiances are very shallow.
He voted to Confirm Thomas Griffith to the US circuit court in 2005. Leahy opposed Griffith vehemently because of Griffith’s hostility to Title IX (he tried to weaken it) and the fact that Griffith’s practiced law without a license for four years.
Now why did Barack vote yes for Griffiths?
I hope someone who can still see straight in the media looks into this one.

Look I would definitely have to agree with anyone who says that fox is being fairer to Clinton than other major media outlets. Remember your Tonya Harding comparison ABC that stayed on the frontpage using different photos for what seemed like days?
Tabloid journalsim has taken over. And recent studies by independent sources are pretty overwhelming….Basically the so called media has become an extension of the Obama campaign. And some of us are a little tired of it.
Fox is the Republican slant…but they don’t try to pretend their unbiased while favoring a candidate 75% of the time.
I never watched fox before this election. You guys may be turning me into a Republican!

All of this means 3 things:
1. The right wing media is the only place where Hillary has got a fair shot of getting some positive/balanced publicity.
2. She is trying to prove that she knows how to bridge divides and she wants to get past the fights of the 90s.
3. She is bold.

Summary: During a segment of The O’Reilly Factor to discuss “What is the downside of having a woman become the president of the United States?” author Marc Rudov’s initial response to the question was, “You mean besides the PMS and the mood swings, right?” Rudov later asserted: “Well, you know, I’m joking. Of course, the main problem I have is if a woman has a female agenda.”
OKAY ED, I see how pms & mood swings can be seen as VERY FAIR & BALANCED! You have gone beyond bringing our party down, now you are truely embarrassing our party & state! PLEASE STOP!

Dillusional Democrats of Pennysilvania,
Rally behind Rush Limbauhg, FOX, Sean Hennety, and their new slave Ed Rendall to nominate Hillary, so that Republican can win.

Nice commercial coverage ‘Fox Murdoch’ is providing, projecting a balanced position of all candidates. Give us a break, its about $$$$ today $$$$ and tommorows $$$. Profit and future favours in the bank are all that matters
Do not be fooled by the wolf in sheeps clothing!

John McCain WILL beat hillary clinton, she cannot win! I know I wouldn’t vote for her.
I’m sick of the bs news….as long as Fox News is tearing down Obama, you all love it. Rev Manning called his father a whore and his mother white trash, and I have not seen anyone of you, not ONE, speak out against it. Its ok as long as the media is tearing down Obama. But hey, that has nothing to do with racism…..right!
I will NEVER vote for hillary. Her 35 yrs experience is nothing but the biggest fairy tale. She lies and distorts and most of you just eat it up. Then turn around and blame attacks on Obama whenever he defends himself. And now all of the sudden hillary is so concerned about the peoples vote, give me a frickin break!
Go ahead, vote for hillary….so you can all watch her lose big in the general election. I know I will enjoy it.

OOPS! meant NOT vote for OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!

And that’s fine fedup….I have watched this race closely and hillary is nothing but a deceitful liar.
You have every right to vote for McCain, I could care less.
But I can guarantee you, if hillary somehow manages to get this nomination, and I don’t care how much pandering she and philandering bill do….I will not vote for her and neither will the majority of Obama supporters. Now THAT I do know. The news tells you 19% lol trust me, it will be much higher than that.
So you can even stump for McCain if you wish. Understand….more than half the country does NOT want the clintons back in the white house. period.
They are deceitful liars. They have deceived you into thinking that deceit and dishonesty somehow equates to a ‘fighter’. LOL keep dreaming. The clintons care about NO ONE but themselves.

I think its about time all of the cable news stations woke up and got a huge dose of reality. As much as I don’t want McCain do be our next President he was right yesterday when he said Obama had NO experience when it come to National Security and Warfare. This is true. I don’t want to elect a President in the midst of two wars that has NO experience. Now I also don’t want to elect a man that will send our troops into Iran and keep us in Iraq for annother 10 years. It would be devastating to our military and to our economy. Vote Hillary she is the best choice for our National Security, and our economy. The only one with a clear and cutting edge plan to fix the economy and get people back to work. She is the only one that has a plan to really fix health care, and the energy crisis. Obama voted for the most recent Cheney energy bill that had huge tax incentives to the oil companies. She has comprehensive plans on each of these things, and has a proven record to get them done for the american people.
Hillary 08

All these polls seem pretty meaningless. Chris Matthews was giving Hillary’s obituary before New Hampshire voting even took place. There is something I find puzzling about Obama and FOX is probably the only network that will cover it. Obama votes present on 130 controversial votes, and he votes and says he made a mistake, but when it came to voting on allowing a doctor in the delivery room for partial birth abortions to treat the infant if it was born alive, he VOTED AGAINST ALLOWING A DOCTOR TO TREAT THE INFANT! For a man that’s so wishy washy and flip floppy on his voting record, that is a pretty strong liberal vote. A disgusting one, but it shows his true colors. Pregnancy is punishment after all.

I think all the news channels should get Ed Rendell off the airwaves. After his remarks to the editorial board of the Post Gazette, I discredit anything he says. As an elected official he should have the position that the people of Pennsylvania should not use race when determining their choice. Even when so called “handicapping”. It’s people like him who have prevented this nation from progress on race relations. This country would be a better place without comments from elected officals that go against the present tide to heal the race divide in America.

I have also switched to Fox. They are fair, the other networks show their bias for Obama. Go Hillary!

From the Rasmussen Poll.
“Clinton voters, by a 64% to 26% margin, believe that American society is generally fair and decent. Obama voters are evenly divided—45% hold that optimistic view while another 45% say society is generally unfair and discriminatory.”
The followers of Obama are muchlike those of Wright. No Hope there. only hatred and bitterness like Michelle.

The Rasmussem poll was PUSH POLL!!!!!! They brought up Bosnia, yet never mentioned Wright. We are wise to what is going on.
“Forty-seven percent (47%) say they have followed news stories Very Closely about Clinton’s Bosnia misstatements. Another 27% have followed those stories Somewhat Closely. Overall, 19% consider that issue to be Very Important in their voting decision. That figure includes 6% of Clinton supporters and 36% of Obama voters.”

fedup, I believe most people already know hillary is getting the white vote, just because she is white, not because of her delusional 35 yrs of experience. This is the way this country has been, and I know people like you will never change.
The clintons, and people like you, have destroyed the democratic party.

I have noted that it is now almost impossible to differentiate between a Right Wing Nut and a HRC supporter. Just more proof that the Clintons will say or do anything to try and get elected. Hasn’t Rush Limbaugh publically advocated for his listeners to cross over and register as Democrats and vote for Sen. Clinton in order to keep Hillary in the race because she would be easy to defeat by the GOP.

hillary is now telling the lie that Obama wants people to stop voting. That is NOT what he said, but as long as she keeps pushing her lies most of the idiots will believe it. She is absolutely sickening.

La In Indiana: It is true that Hillary is getting most of the white vote! What is equally clear is that Obama is getting about 90% of the black vote! What this shows is how divided this party is along class,race,and gender! I don’t think Hillary or Obama is to blame for that split. Women are frustrated and want a woman and blacks are frustrated and want a black to be president! So this split is natural and I don’t think it is correct or fair to say that the people who support Hillary have destroyed the party! What’s destroyed millions of people have joined this party and the exicitment is palpable, so to say that the party is doomed is premature! Let everyone who wants to vote,vote and lets go from there!

This just supports my husband’s kooky idea that Hillary is gunning for McCain’s VP spot!
However, his praise is surprising since FOX’s own Chris Wallace told “Fox and Friends” on March 21st to quit the Obama-bashing after they spent 2 hours talking about Obama’s grandmother’s “typical white person” remarks. I don’t think that is very balanced.

Obama is a Civil Rights Atty and Constitutional Atty who did everything possible to prevent Florida and Michigan revotes. What do you think will happen if we ARE ALLOWED to vote? What do you think will happen when the Clinton supporters that were kept out of Caucuses are allowed to vote?
We will cast votes for anyone but this reprehensible man. He is a disgrace for what he’s done in the nomination process alone.
It’s naive of the press and DNC to think that we will get over it. We certainly will not give up the opportunity to show you just how we feel. It will not matter if the delegates are seated AFTER the process is over. It will be too late for this party. We will celebrate in the only way we can to get some justice.

It is a great feeling to know that Hillary’s supporters hold the key to Obama’s future! Given that you would think the Obama people would be courting us a little, guess they don’t want our vote! You can’t cross burning bridges! Maybe McCain will listen to us?

If Clinton intends to change the numbers, she has to go after Obama where he is weakest: judgement and character. His record on legislation, his inability to separate his personal choices from the teachings of Black Liberation Theology, his flip flopping on issues day to day and audience to audience, and his arrogance all work against him when shown for what they are. She is too afraid to offend the bigots who won’t vote for her and to defend the majority of middle class Americans who will.
Fox is the *right* vehicle for that.
Call it the Tonya Harding option if you like. This is a fight for the Presidency, not a game of hoops in the local YMCA.
Otherwise, it is time for Obama to listen to Mario Cuomo. John McCain isn’t afraid of the left-wing of the DNC. He relishes that fight because it will be the easiest fight of his career.

russell….the hillary supporters are secondary.
hillary clinton, with her slash and burn politics, AND bill with his bs, has destroyed this party. She and bill with all their distortions….they actually have you believing they are honest and decent people. What happens? some of you act like what has taken place in the last 2 months, hasn’t. Are we even looking at the same race???
They even have YOU distorting the truth, from one day to the next….all just to get her elected.
You now blame Obama for MI and FL, when you all knew this started way before his name was even known. But hey, lets forget about the rules and what took place….all you say now is Obama doesn’t want MI and FL to vote. How disingenuous of all of you! I’m sick of all the distortions and lies. And that is how you plan to win, with nothing but distortions and lies. hillary clinton does not deserve my vote after all this deceitful crap, and I will make sure she doesn’t get it.

IN a few select words; FOXNEWS stinks-
They are anything but fair and balance and quickly becoming the “tabloid edition of cable news reporting-

jenna….as a hillary supporter, try telling the truth once in a while.
Try NOT distorting every issue, then maybe you’ll feel better.

Why hasn’t one of the medias jumped on the remarks of Obama about him not wanting his girls to be punished with a baby for making a mistake. This was regarding abortion – prochoice or against. What does this man really stand for? One day it’s this the next day it’s that. Doesn’t answer any questions at a debate first, lets Hillary answer then agrees or adlibs just a little. Who will be making the decisions or standing over his shoulder in the White House. Will it be Kennedy, Farakan, Wright, Kerry or Michelle?

IN regard to -”Clinton Camp Praises Fox”
OF COURSE she does. FOX news gives Senator Clinton a “pass” on negative points of concern, while raking her opponnant over the coals whenever they get the chance. An example would be the Rev. Wright controversy. I’ll wager that FOX has played the “Wright” snippits over and over about ten million times. Frankly, I’m sick of it. Granted, rev Wright is an extremist and his association with Senator Obama is questionable and no doubt unfortunate. However, it appears Obama has weathered this storm and I’m watching his poll numbers rise proving this as fact.
As an undecided, I would very much appreciate hearing the facts, bad & good, presented fairly about all candidates. FOX is incapable of doing this. And I’ve recently abandoned FOXNEWs for one of the competing cable news channels.

fedup, blacks can’t drop the “African” from African-American. It’s a result of the Black Liberation Theology as set forth by Cone and pushed forward by Obama’s church. If you recall, that term really took off in the 80s with The Cosby Show when the cast members used it every chance they got. That show was so mainstream, and Americans so liked Cosby, that it easily became the accepted term. I’ve read some very interesting things concerning Cosby since I’ve become aware of Black Liberation Theology. google Cone and Black Liberation Theology and prepare to have your eyes opened.

thanks, hoosiersue. i know the on-going anger and inability to move beyond that point in the resolution of a time before any of this generation or the preceeding ones lived has eluded most black americans. i guess disengaging themselves from the whole in order to identify as one(what about black is not one)thus puffing themselves up has a place for them. Just look at kwanza(sp). AND, i know blacks like to say itis getting to their roots. Again they are the only group that 24/7 wants to be separated out.
Now comes bho, mlk incarnate. a god among mortal men.
Guess every city will now have a bho avenue.

WHERE IS MICHELLE?????????????????

I’m certainly confused about the link, “Clinton jihad against MSNBC,” which was purported to have occured a few weeks ago. Yet the article link was from October 07 and speculated on the various Clinton media associations along with Drudge. The wording, Clinton’s jihad, is deliberately incendiary and can’t really be applied to the article. If you’re going to include links, please have them accurately associated with your article and not later removed.

Gosh, what are the Faux News haters going to do now?

Obama and his followers are so far left the consider Hillary a rightwinger.
This is the true battle going on. FAR LEFT liberals versus centrist Democrats.

What’s new? They will sell their souls to the devil to get elected..

It’s true almost all the media are favor senator Obama.

Fox? Balanced? Are you kidding. At times they are so off the mark whether it be Democrats-Republicans are just general news-Fox has sold their soul to be different-they are not always on target with issues but I do watch them for entertainment-they make me giggle!

As a Democrat, I never thought I’d watch Fox but I agree with Gov. Rendell; Fox IS the most balanced. I’ve quit MSNBC and CNN and I’m cancelling my Newsweek subscription because I can’t stand the Obama slant from all 3. I’ve lost all respect for most of the media. At least, Fox doesn’t like either of the Dem candidates so they have the fairest coverage.

Extreme level of unfair attacks by CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, and obviously MSNBC against Hillary is one of the major contributing factors on systmatic fragmentation of democratic party today. It is so hard to imagine that Obama would have last this long if he was facing such an unfair attack by news/medias. The most disappointing part of this drama is that more the news/medias intensifies their attack against her in order to promote the nomination of their candidate(Obama), more the exodus of moderate democrats chips away from the party base. The fact is, neither Obama nor Hillary can win the genral elction without the strong support from each other simply because large number of their supporters are so loyal to their candidates. Hillary has no choice but go to Fox News because rest of the news/medias treats her like a leper.

That’s your problem, MAB… Wanting the media to make up your mind instead of researching, then making up your OWN mind.
Americans, STOP being so danged lazy for once in your lives!

CNN used to be my news channel, but now, I can’t believe it myself, but I end up having to watch Fox most of the time to get news about both candidates.
For example, Fox broke the Wright scandal and covered it for quite a few days. CNN, MSNBC did not cover it at all until Obama’s speech. Then come CNN360 interview with obama which was a joke because Anderson Cooper did not ask any serious questions. But when it comes to Clinton’s mistake with Bosnia then all networks carried it for days!
I agree with Rendell because at least, Fox beats up both Clinton and Obama.
Yesterday, Lou Dobbs on CNN finally carried a piece on how unfair the media has treated Clinton.
I want the media to vet both of them so that we know any ‘bad news’ now, instead of during the general election.

are you kidding me??? the clinton’s love fox news now???? wow !!!never saw that coming.have the clinton’s been brainwashed??oh i get it !!my enemies enemy is my friend. GOTCHAAAAAAAA.

I’ve always thought FOX was the worst of the larger news outlets. I looked at the rating recently and there obviously are a number who feel differently.

I am a democrat. I never thought in a million years that I would stay tuned to FOX news. You guys were the only one’s that were truly fair and balanced. Thank you for simply stating the facts and the truth. I am still a democrat, but I am a new FOX fan!! Go Hillary!!!!!

@LA in Indiana. I totally agree with you. I am a black woman and yes I support Obama. Those poll numbers are not correct regarding black and young voters not supporting Clinton. I bet the actual percentage is higher than 19 percent. Check out the “black” blogs there’s already talk of us sitting out if she continues her dirty tricks. The Clintons are power hungry and will do anything to win including destroying their own party. No Bill you chill out!!!!!!!

After watching (then blocking) MSNBC from my cable line up………I can only assume that Chris(tina) Matthews has a crush on Obama. Between him and Keith Olber(wo)mann I can only surmise that both are battling for the undivided attention of Obama. I think Obama must be sending them the newest fashion from Victoria’s secret. Ladies, Ladies you’re both pretty.
