Clinton Chair Praises Fox News, Says 90% of the Media in the Tank for Obama

So, jpt, what do you think? Everybodys got an opinion about that, whats yours?

I would love to hear some prior McAuliffe quotes about fox
I am sure Roger is as happy with this endorsement as he would be with one from, oh say, Charles Manson
Facts are facts though, FOX news is the most unbiased for all candidates.

No,
McAuliffe praises Foxnews b/c their in the tank for Hillary. That’s not a compliment, it shows whom the conservatives would rather face in the GE.

Sad but true. I turned all them off a long time ago. If I am watching the news it is ABC. Charlie Gibson is the most respectable.

Chris Matthews’ tingle up his leg
Does anyone take these people seriously? Really? Come on. I wouldn’t vote for anyone an idiot like this tried to peddle.

I am so sick of hearing this witch CRY<<<<<< guess some one didn't offer her a pillow …Talking out of both sides of their mouths AGAIN.

Before she wouldn’t even go on Faux News now she’s singing their praises. Senator Clinton must really need a friend right now.

I hope Hillary finishes the primary season and then runs as an Independent. She can run straight down the middle, Obama on the “left” and McCain on the “right”. I hope Bob Barr is also runs this fall, the only way to have real “change” in the white house is to have someone who does not answer to a party.

People are begging to be lied to. FOX has never devoted an in depth show on McCain except to praise him. You would think Wright was Obamas middle name by listening to fox. The Clinton campaign should have learned a lesson from sucking on Saturday Night Live

Terry must have been in coma during the 2 months that the entire media basically tried to destroy Obama over the Rev Wright association. Clinton supporters are you sure you want to vote for the Clinton Machine with all their lies and deception?

Is Hillary planning to run on the Republican ticket with McCain? She has sure made overtures to that end and the Fox/Conservatives have sure been promoting her!

Oh, please. Here we go again with “the Clintons are in the tank with Wright too!”
Were the Clintons married by Wright? Did Wright baptize Chelsea? Did Hillary give $20,000 to Wright’s church? Did Hillary name her book after a phrase in one of Wright’s speeches?
Even Oprah left Wright’s church for Christ’s sakes, but Barack didn’t! What kind of judgment is that?

McAuliffe praises Foxnews b/c their in the tank for Hillary. That’s not a compliment, it shows whom the conservatives would rather face in the GE.

libre, the Clintons are the ones who have used the race card in these elections. Nowhere anybody has heard Obama talking about race during the past 15 months if it is not to ask America to forget racila divide and unite for common sense and common purpose to address serious issues facing America. FoxNews is not fair and not balanced as they pretend, Hannety, Fox&Friends are all right wingers. None has been kind to Barak in this process, Hill the Bosnian General should understand that she has lost because she managed very poorly her campaign and has listen to people who were telling her what she wanted to hear moving from inevitable to unlikely is somehow very difficult to swlllow so there should be something to blame and media is well placed to receive that smear from Hill+Bill. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

I don’t even want to watch CNN, MSNBC or even TODAY show with Matt Lauer in the morning.
It’s not worth it.
I already knew what are the going to say, it is always about him as their golden boy.
I can see Matt Lauer eyes when he interviewed him, cheerful and welcome him so much.

So Clinton staff is praising Foxnews. Well isnt that enough to hear to back Obama.

This is so pathetic. HRC is a bitter individual. Everyone on capital hill speaks of her vindictiveness. NOW, she has tapped into the bitterness of the spirits of those who follow her.
HOW on earth are those of you who’ve NEVER been discriminated against racially FIT to tell those of US who have that HRC’s words have not been hurtful? It wasn’t a black/white thing. Unfortunately, she turned it into one. For those of us who are in our 50′s and over, this games’ been played on us before.
Those who decide they will vote for McCain actually do their candidate MORE harm than good. We knew she was bitter, but for us, she was the lessor of 2 evils. But we had NO idea how she’d be able to tap into a minority of the nation who decides they’d rather spend 8 more years in war, watching innocent people die, and see an un-doing of so many progressive bills that have been passed, granting us a greater dimension of freedom then some of us knew back in the 60′s and early 70′s.
This is sad. You do your candidate NO favors whatsoever. You do your nation even less.

I don’t know about 90 percent, but the media is mostly in the tank for Obama and has been for a long time.
Is Fox biased? Yes, of course, but at least they put SOME pro Clinton and anti-Obama pieces on the air.
As for the rest of the media, case in point: Today’s West Virginia primiary with “does not matter” because 1. The race has been declared over by the media and 2. all of those pro Clinton votes there are “racist” anyhow.

I’m fine with it if Hillary’s bitter! Means she has something in common with all her bitter, clingy supporters!

BKMC,
Obama does not need to use a race card.
first,his backers use it to attack Clintons.
Secondly, he already got 92% AA him and some young white people support him.
When we talk about race again anything white people say even very slightly touch about black people, it will bring all big fire works. It will be different situation if the opposite case. Just like Clinton’s comment in SC which is the fact but we are not allowed to say it.

Jake Tapper is one of the more even-handed journalists out there today; that’s why I enjoy this blog. Unfortunately he doesn’t have much company. Fox is getting viewers because, as Ed Rendell said, they hate both Democratic candidates — but at least they hate them equally and give somewhat objective coverage. I love MSNBC but they’re often so biased towards Obama, it’s unpleasant to watch(exceptions are Chuck Todd, David Gregory, Dan Abrams, Rachel Maddow — and Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan of all people!). CNN is all over the map.

IF a network has to use a tagline that explicitly states ‘Fair and Balanced’ one can pretty much be sure it isn’t. Enough said. Regardless of whether the rest of the MSM tilts toward Obama is one question, but not to realize that Fox News is a hard right tilting news organization (its owner is Rupert Murdoch who is well know for his conservative views and its chairman is Roger Ailes who directed Republican campaigns in the 80s) is honestly just being naive.

Dear jgaw:
What about the Obama campaign “race card” talking points memo then? (Oh, I remember, just an “over jealous staffer”–which is why the Obama surrogates immediately jumped on Bill Clinton for “playing the race card” when he dismissed the Obama campaign as a “fairy tale”?)
The Brothers Grimm were “racists”! Who knew!

Of course Fox news it the most fair to the Clintons in their current state of denial. Fixed News is the only network who pretend she still has a legitimate chance at the nomination because it is in their best interests to keep the primary going all the way to the convention.
Thanks again Terry for giving us four of the five steps of grief; Denial, Anger, Bargaining and Depression. Its time to accept that you’ve lost and act gracious about it.

I don’t know about 90% but I have to say MSNBC is absolutely in the tank for OBAMA.
You only need to see how many times they have apologized this campaign for the sexist comments they have made. They have absolutely no journalistic intergrity along with Newsweek. CNN is not far behind but its mostly the underlying sexist remarks that shine through and the media just can’t handle a female being president. It’s okay when a republican is in the white house in November, America will no exactly who to blame…the media!!!

I’ve never been a big fan of fox until now, it is fair and balance. I respect Charlie Gibson and lou Dobbs( independant thinkers). I also stop watching, CNN and MSNBC (pro-BO).

how was obama HURT by the race card being played? obama’ surrogates have always been the one who have played the race card. you cannot disagree with anything obama has to say-before someone the msm included-will claim the race card. now is that anyway to decide how to pick a president?
dl,
you seem like a reasonable person, the little bit of press from obama and everyone including obama almost caved.
everyone that can try to see with objective eyes and clear some of the clinton hate out of their eyes and just step back and see. all will agree there has been media bias against sen. clinton in this race.
all of the neg. the msm keep coming up with on sen. clinton are not neg. that should have disqualified her from being POTUS>
obamas negs should have. first of all-obama was the FIRST TO SAY he was not ready to be president-and he should stay in the senate and learn a little more.-the rep. will use his own words against him in the fall.
he sould have taken his own advice.
what has nancy done for us?
obama will owe so many favors for support-it will be a while before he gets to the likes of me and the other working middle class people.
all of those people you mentioned I can understand why they will not want sen. clinton back-just as you say they know her-she knows them-obama is fresh meat for them–he will soon find his changing of the way business is run in washington was just a campaign slogan.

I think the election process is fake. The media is the one really do the voting.
It’s hurting the country.
Do we really need to vote if the media makes decision?
Hillary and Bill Clinton are two different persons. Hillary is much more substantive, solid. She deserves the presidency, but the media has been treating her so cruelly.

Dl,
So many cases related to Obama are not covered also by media.
I’ve been waiting for Rezko case which a few month ago they said they will air it and the judge asked him to stand at the trial. Where is the case now??
Other case, Blackwell also disappeared.
many cases maybe we don’t know also.

after all the media has done against sen. clinton, you now here people saying things such as I think the dems will come together in the fall, they will unite. it is just in the heat of the battle that they say they will not support the nominee.
well here is one, and I have talked with many others who will not be voting for obama this fall, if they had tried to be fair, maybe i would have. but i will not-because they have not been fair. and the only voice i have is my vote. the media has stolen this election for obama.
my family and i are preparing for what ever will come in the fall-sen. clinton is the only one of substance. and i will not vote for second or third best.
maybe if nader is on the ticket i will vote for him. at least he has been around long enough and i know over the years he tried to fight for the working people-maybe nader needs a chance.
but not obama for me.
an unknown
sudden rise to power
media in the tank
blacks not for him being told to shut up.
no i will not go for him.
sen. clinton or nader

Do you really think Obama won the black states- if there are any?, and the states with wierd caucus goers? Think again. Count the votes, and look at the population- there are more white voters in these states- go back to school and lean to get the medium, mean, and mode

dl,
what kind of change is obama going to bring?
what does he mean when he says he is going to change the way washington does business?
and how is he going to do it?

dl,
gotta go for a minute.
but will be back to read your answers.
and i have read his web site.
and listened to his speech
and dl,
do you believe obama sat in wrights church for 20 years and did not hear any of the stuff we have heard?
as he has said.
i am not speaking to his association with wright, as much as i am trying to understand the judgement of the man who would be POTUS

Dl,
Just like Jgaw said how come he has never heard this controversial sermons after 20 years joins that church?
That’s only inside the church what if he runs this country, he doesn’t even know if we have dangerous situation in this country.

Blue Irish…Hillary voters are still with her. I haven’t run across any that have cast one vote for Obama.

McAuliffe repeats a Republican talking point and strategy in the fall: portray the press as biased in favor of Obama.
Unbelivable. I thought we had been through this after Hillary said her supporters are racist and wouldn’t vote for Obama: if you go negative Hillary, the Party will force you out. (Hillary suporters are not racist by the way, and they will vote for Obama.)
I don’t see what options Hillary’s campagin is leaving the Party. It is time to end her run.

Carol…shut up…the media treats Obama as if he IS a celebrity. Today in Washington he had mic’s and cameras in his face with his posse all around him like he’s Prince. C’mon. You sound very angry for someone who supports the guy the media and pundits were in the tank for since day one. Really, you have on reason to be so angry….are you related to Michelle?

Terry McAuliffe was conservative with 90%. I read every story related to the election on every network. It is obvious that the percentage of the media in the tank for Obama exceeds 90%. It is so bad you can see it in the headlines before ever reading the stories.

John – “Hillary supporters are not racist”, is true….we just don’t like what Obama is about…Hope, Change, Hate
He will not earn about 40% of her supporters, or more. CNN is doing a piece on it right now. Even if she is VP, I cannot and will not vote Obama.
Nothing to do with skin color.

the plain fact that obama black supporters say to clinton black supporters you are a traitor or a sellout tells you the 90% voting for him is because of race and not qualifications.
if it were only qualfications sen. clinton would win with everyone hands down.

And the silence from the media on the SEXISM things said about Hillary is also despicable.
I will never vote for obama since 98% of the media is determined to push him down our throats.
The man says he visited 57 states with 2 more to go to. NOT ONE WORD FROM THE MEDIA.
The man does not have positions on ANYTHING. NOT ONE WORD FROM THE MEDIA
my choice will be McCain in November after voting democrat for 30 years.

Debra,
Yes, I agree, Hillary supporters just like me also will fight to the end.
I told to GolfgirlUSA that happened in my family.
The upcoming contest will be in our state but because all the media have been telling the viewers that Hillary is not the nominee, so all of my family did not want to mail their ballots.
I was upset at that time and I had to explain to them even 2 or 3 votes will make a different.
finally they all mailed their ballots.
I’m afraid this case also happen to her other supporters. Hopefully not.
Thanks Debra.

These people that are so quick to call this thing quits are just downright scared for Obama’s chances with a huge demographic that he will have trouble with in Nov. CNN right now has Republican, Bill Bennet on, that just said Hillary is the strongest candidate against McCain so they will be glad to run against Obama. They need not worry about this thing playing out if they are so confident about Obama…they say they will unite, but the Hillary supporters that are defecting will not vote BO whether they end it today or in June…so let it play out. You’d think they’d be smart enough to encourage this for their ratings.

Jackie, NC – Wright’s book comes out in October, hopefully with a full blown tour, unless they bind and gag him, and I believe they will. He wasn’t supposed to retire until May but they forced him onto a cruise in Feb. They know he is a deal breaker. He threatened he would come after Obama if he makes the WH….let’s make sure that never happens.

Money buys elections. The Obama campaign pledged $20 million toward the next election of the superdelegates and they all jumped on the Obama gravy train. This was been on talk radio station yesterday while I was driving.
All that money does not make the candidate the most qualified or honest. Just dirty.

Debra
I am blue irish….born and raised …small town blue irish.
and I am one of obama’s biggest supporters.
but my parents taught me to listen and that protectionist close-minded safety doesn’t help anyone in the long run…
unfortunately it is hard to not fall into our habits and our comfort zone as is the case with most of Hillary supporters…
Change is hard but necessary for the sake of this country’s future.
It’s funny how Obama got blue irish before race was thrown on the table.
When race comes off the table his numbers go up… jgaw is right as long as race is on the table we don’t learn enough about him…when we do we vote for him.

Dl, 5:57:39
Why are you hiding now from me?
You are afraid to admit that you lies on this blog?
Is that what Obama pay you to make Hillary supporters look like traitors?
Shame on you..
Hillary supporters from now on do not believe whatever the blogger name DL “says.

Blue Irish
I am a writer. I grew up in a small town suburb with a father and a mother who worked for 40 years for Polaroid to scratch to put me through school…after school I worked as everything from a paperboy to a video clerk to landscaping to a nursery to a farm…to being homeless, to being a waiter…to working at a nursery… to production to finally achieving something as a writer in the past few years…after a lifetime of fighting.
I am a self made man yes…and I make money now …finally…but I am still blue collar to the core… it is my blue collar roots that made me successful… it is my blue irish family that I fight for on these blogs.
I know what it is like to not have health insurance and work every day at it… to not know how to work a job while you can’t keep a roof over your head and dream.
I am a very proud born and bread blue collar guy living in NH.
and very proud that Barack Obama will be the person my sisters, my cousins, my brothers will all have defending him getting their country back to the leader it once was…the ally it once was… the strength it once had…the virtue it once had…
and most of all the beacon it once was.
So NEVER call me a LIAR. I could not speak of all the issues with healthcare and working class if I was not born and breed part of that constituency.
so Blue Irish.. who are you

The media has absolutely been in the tank for Obama. I no longer watch MSNBC, NBC, or CNN. I gave up long ago trying to figure out why, because it really doesn’t matter.
The big question is – with his media backing, 4:1 outspending, and massive recruitment of new voters… why hasn’t Obama been able to seal the deal?

On another note about the media, no one seems to have noticed how Google and it’s search engine are also in the tank for Obama. If you put in Hillary, majority of the time google will give you all the negative articles on Hillary (granted for the past week nothing has been positive) but even before that. However, Obama could never do wrong on the google search engine. Just curious if I was the only one that noticed this.

This is just another example of how far Hillary Clinton will go in order to become President. She hated Fox News for years, yet because they support her, because they think McCain can beat her more easily than he could beat Obama, then they’ve been nice to her and mean to Obama (most of the time, anyway).
It’s easy for the Hillary supporters to cry about the media not showing only good things about her and to blame Obama and his supporters for it (most of what I saw in the media was good and bad for all candidates). Her supporters don’t care what kind of person she is. They either support her because she’s a woman, the wife of Bill Clinton or because they are racists. And because they so blindly support her, they hate anyone that doesn’t support her or who goes against her. They are just as bad as she is. (This is what I’ve seen on the blogs and news websites.)
I can’t wait until she is out of the race, and as an independent that has only voted for Republican presidents since Reagan, I plan on voting for Obama this time around. McCain and Clinton both are out to be President no matter what it takes to achieve that, by flip-flopping on issues and trying to pander to voters by saying exactly what they want to hear, yet everything they say contradicts what they have said before. They are not going to do what they say they are going to do, once they get into the White House. It’s happened many times before when a person gets elected. But this time, there is a candidate that I believe really means what he says. When I look at and listen to Obama, I really believe him. So he’s the one that will get my vote.
Oh, and I’m not an “elitist”, I’m a lower-middle class, white woman over 40 who lives in the South, and I don’t look at race or gender as factors on who I decide to vote for as President.

Gotta love FOX saying Hillary wins 68 to 32, and that’s just with the exit polls…raw numbers will be in later. Kentucky is the next win there. Super d’s need to be fully responsible for handing this thing to him with SERIOUS DOUBTS, thinking they can buy it for him.

Why hasn’t he “sealed the deal?” He has..he’s won the nomination. That’s how you seal the deal. These people who keep saying the Democrat (Obama) is not going to win in November are self-deceived. Either Democrat will beat McCain like a red-headed step-child. It’s going to be an anti-Republican landslide. Hide and watch.

Fox News is definitely not favoring Clinton over Obama. They bash both candidates with vigor so that’s why they’re fair and balanced. I’ve stopped watching MSNBC, NBC, CNN and CBS. I generally like ABC but they’ve had their moments with the bias against Hillary as well. Oh and Hillary supporters are not afraid of change. We’ll be changing to vote Republican if Obama is on the ticket. Investigative Reporter Pringle has a great article (Part II) on Rezkowatch which explores connections between Obama campaign donors and rigged Illinois Health System related bids (he was the architect of the related Illinois bill which allowed corrupt committee to be formed and received donations himself).

The Macker is absolutely right. Foxnews has moved away from the right and finds itself being credible. ABC is trying, but they seem to drift toward the popular version sometimes.

It is tragic that the media has abused their power in order to secure the nomination for Obama. It has been riddled with bias and double standards. No matter what controversies Obama has stepped into the media has quickly covered his butt. When Clinton on the other hand, missteps or misstates it is talked about endlessly for days. Things like the elitist comments or some of his associations are swiftly minimized. The race card is a convenient tactic that Obama benefits from on all fronts. It isn’t racist to point out that 90% of the AA vote goes to him but it is spun as racist when 60%-70% of the blue collar white vote goes to Clinton.This election is not about electing the most qualified candidate it is about making a social statement. That, unfortunately, is a national tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Say hello to President McCain.

I bet there are McCain staffers already salivating at the prospect of Hillary defectors…they know they are going to completely benefit from this in a much greater way than they ever would with BO defectors.
Nothing like women scorned….we have great memories too, and mean it when we say we will vote McCain.
Sixty eight percent of exit pollers said they think BO has the beliefs of Rev. Wright. He will never shake that.
I usually watch FOX but am watching CNN for election results.

Let’s be clear. If Obama wins, I will vote for McCain. Why? Because the media has thwarted the election process without thoroughly vetting Obama. And because the DNC is undemocratic. It takes away the decision making powers of the taxpayers and puts it into the tiny percentage of elitest who feel Americans are too dumb to make the right decision. Its Hillary or McCain for me! A vote for Obama is a vote against America!

This thread itself is biased, hahahha. My comment was deleted because I mentioned media bias against Ron Paul.

It’s interesting how often the Hillary Bosnia story comes up but Obama people are so quiet about the Obama lie about his parents meeting in Selma, four years after he was born. Then the Kennedy’s brought his dad here…nope.
Then there is the story of the man who changed his life…..one problem, it was from a novel called Black Like Me.
Then Obama told us about all the bills
he passed but even Dodd and Kennedy
had to come out and say, he wasn’t at a single meeting. He didn’t get much money from Retzko…..suddenly in March it was $250,000. He doesn’t know Ayers that well. Isn’t that odd because he was appointed to the Annenenburg Education Project funded by a grant Ayers got and Ayers than appointed him to the head of the committee. Then he served with him on the Woods Committee.
Nope he doesn’t know him.
Those are just 6 of Obama’s many lies but only Clinton’s Bosnia story keeps coming up…..

I find comments about how people dislike Hillary disconcerting. They cite her “win at all costs” campaigning, implying that she fights dirty and lies… You know, you need to figure out that Obama has not been above political posturing and manipulation. What you say of Hillary, Obama has also displayed. Use a better measure.
The problem is, the media does not find it worthy to report about his campaign antics. It is only news if it is Hillary looking bad. This kerfuffle is just exasperating.
The losers are the public and the credibility of the media.
Seriously, Obama, the candidate of change? Look a little deeper, you will find he has played dirtier that most as he was trained to pol the Chicago way…
Do I think Hillary is perfect? NO, but Obama is far from it himself. I will not vote for him because he has displayed a remarkable amount of immaturity during this campaign. He has demonstrated to me that lacks the breadth and depth of knowledge about the economic, foreign, and domestic policies that concern our country. He can not stick to an answer on any questions that were properly placed before him. His firm resolve on any issue is nonexistent. He has become the expediency candidate. (Do you think wearing the flag pin in West Virginia earned him more votes?)
All I ask is that you pay attention. The media coverage has been biased to an extreme. My local paper endorsed Obama, but he was also the only candidate running full page ads everyday. Hmm

Clinton/Leiberman/Fox News !
Birds of a feather.

Ksren:
If you’re looking for Obama’s bloopers,,
read “Obama’s laundry list of lies” right here on the web!
There were about 70 of them last time I looked about a month ago… and they’re all “fact:checked”.
Enjoy!

I am so disgusted with the turn Keith Olbermann has taken against Hillary and also with Mika Brezinski, who is a hateful witch.
Hillary, don’t give up, here in Chi-town, we know the other shoe is gonna fall on Obama and it is called the Illinois Combine.

Oh please! This race was over after Texas and Ohio but did the “mainstream media report how daunting trhe math was for Clinton? NO! They kept on reporting like it was still a race. You Clinton supporters go ahead, vote for McCain, you likely voted for Bush anyway. Go ahead, keep being the “stupid” vote Hllary so lavishly boasts of.

Okay. So let’s be clear FOX blew it on the madrassa deal. BUT–it’snot true OBAMA was never a MUSLIM. After all, in his own autobiography he talks about geeting in trouble for “making faces during Koranic Studies”. His sister was quoted in the NYT as saying “My whole family was Muslim. Everyone we knew was Muslim” and in “Obama: Man of the World” by Nicholas Kristof he relates hoe Obama can recite the Islamic call to prayer in “perfectly accented Arabic”.
Y’ll–wake up–they don’t speak ARABIC in INDONESIA. Now, according to JakeT. Obama visited Pakistan in 1981 (when it was illegal for a US citizen to do so). So what’s up with that???
It’s simply NOT TRUE as Obama has repeatedly stated that he was NEVER a MUSLIM. He was. —According to his own autobiography.

Hillsry lost this race at 3 corners:
1-SC. because the whole world knows Hillary had more black support than Obama. She CLEARLY had the black elite, clergy and politicians behind her. So SC turned a corner.
2-Skipping the smaller states. Had she not been so cocky and self entitled, she would NOT have ignored those states and she could be ahead if not tied with him. Now, she is forced to go to the WI. WV. and others, so being thinking she was entitled to the throne turned a corner.
3-Her and him (Hill and Bill) turning to conservative media! What the hell is all that about? It is a slap in the face for her to chat it up with the enemy, when it is the enemy that was plotting to bring both her and him down. Turning to those blow hearts netted Obama more delegates in one week than at any time before….
There are other instances the main being MONEY MISMANAGEMET but you all get the point. Anyway, it’s of no use now to blame the media. In fact, I’m getting read tired of the blaming the media when things look bad but laughing it up when things are in her favor…..

I have blocked MSNBC from the TV’s in my home. I will never forget the way its talking heads once fawned over #43, and I believe that Russert and Matthews are shallow, uninformed, and incapable of logical discourse.
Clinton is the best candidate and would do great things for America. However, the four horsemen of the Democratic Party apocalypse. namely, Kennedy, Kerry, Dean. and Oprah (or is it Brazile) have decided that the American people have not suffered enough so they found another shallow “uniter not a divider” for us. (I personally hope that MA, a state that voted for HRC,decides to retire Kerry and Kennedy.)
If Hillary is not the nominee, I will vote for McCain because he is a better candidate than Obama. He is a veteran, has years of experience, and loves America. (His wife also loves America.)
Enough is enough.

Isn’t funny how Clinton Chair, Terry McAuliffe, praises Fox News and says 90% of the Media is in the Tank for Obama and how the Clintonites jump up, grab it, and run around waving it in the wind hoping everyone will believe it!! Fox has always been PRO Hilliary, isn’t Murdock the owner? And isn’t he a big donor to the Clinton campaign? He’s an advisor too, isn’t he? So, of course, Fox is PRO Clinton. McAuliffe is spewing crapola again…Hilliary and her campaign are very good at doing this. ALL the media was all about Hilliary when they annointed her as the “inevitable nominee” and “the shoe-in” We hardly ever heard of Senator Obama. Senator Obama beat her big time in Iowa and Hilliary and Bill just could not take it…remember Bill getting all red-faced and wagging his finger with anger and putting down Senator Obama! Bill was out of control, enraged, and brought out the race card in NH and then again in North Carolina. In between, Hilliary, her campaign, and her surrogates were out there literally using the race card and belittling Senator Obama on a personal basis. It wasn’t about issues anymore; the Clintons wanted to fight, and fight dirty they did. Hilliary lied, lied, and lied, so did Bill, and the campaign. We all saw plainly what the Clintons were doing and it turned a lot of us against them for their dirty tactics!! Her mismanagement of her campaign funds factored in as well as it showed a woman of incompetence and NO integrity; one who would do anything, say anything, and throw anything to win. Many of us lost total respect for her and Bill. Hilliary’s continued bashing of Senator Obama now that he is only about 150 delegates away from the magic number shows just how evil and self-obsorbed she is….with her, it’s all about Hilliary! Frankly, she does not care about her party, the USA, or the people. She pays lipservice to get your votes, otherwise you mean nothing to her. Just look at the way she describes the voters in NH!! “Hardworking Americans, WHITE Americans, harding working Americans with LESS THAN A COLLEGE DEGREE, who want me” Okay, all you uneducated, illiterate, and ignorant white hardworking Americans, how do you feel about how she has portrayed you to the entire USA and the rest of world. She is calling you uneducated, illiterate, and ignorant!! She is also saying the rest of us are LAZY nogoods since we do not fit into her “WHITE” hardworking Americans and into the less with college degree bracket. Is that woman divisive and destructive??? You bet she is! Definitely NOT POTUS and CIC material!!

I think that Fox has been the fairest too. Although they have the Republican slant they don’t really have a horse in the Democratic race. Even though Murdock’s daughter is an Obama fundraiser Fox has been pretty fair on the race.
MSNBC is an outrageous excuse for a news outlet. I have no intention of watching their terrible excuse for media. Across the board they have been fawning of Obama and critical of Clinton. Chris Mathews has been a total sad excuse of a journalist. His Clinton directed anger is out of control.
CNN has commentators that pretend to be political consultants but are Obama surrogates. Roland Martin used to get totally out of control and emotional in his support of Obama….He once claimed that if Clinton won he would get on his blog and urge Blacks not to vote for her in the general election. I thought that someone in the media would mention this but they totally ignored it. They refused to ever ask Obama any hard questions. I rarely watch them any more.
ABC has been better than CNN and MSNBC….except for some of the very slanted visuals. For instance the big play you gave to the “Tonya Harding” comparison and the many stories that were really non-stories that seemed to be intent on proving Hillary was dishonest. It seems like ya’ll have given almost as much play to Bill Clinton’s 10 year old affair as to Obama’s long term association and influence of Rev Wright. For instance anyone that was not paying close attention to the race would not understand that Rev Wright was making these outrageous sermons as late as Dec 2007 at the same time he was on Obama’s campaign. Actually I doubt from reading ya’ll that most people would know how close the Rev and Obama were until recently.
Although ABC started to cover Rezko through your Investigative journalist…you have never given it the coverage it deserves.
I assume Fox is waiting to drop this into the General Electon. The very questionable Obama-Rezko home purchase took place in 2005….Obama has lied on countless occasions on the record about his relationship with Rezko…the mainstream press is surpressiing the story. If it would have been about Clinton it would be big news. If it was McCain it would be big news.
By validating Obama’s victimization /race characterization of the Wright story all of the mainstream media have done America a great disservice. This is a judgement issue that has never been truly addressed by anyone but Fox.
Mark Penn was a front page story here for a long time…the recent firing of Obama’s advisers gets very little play. What’s up with that?
I also think that most MSM have failed to qualify when their are blogs and stories written by Obama supporting journalists.
I noticed here that one of your embedded journalists was constantly slanting her stories to demean Clinton…I got better information at Fox…for instance the day that Hillary invited striking truckers into her economic summit your reporter seemed to miss that detail in her coverage.
I am highly resentful that Obama was given a 1 hour time slot for his race speech when Hillary was trying to cover economic issues that week and ya’ll simply cut her off. This speech was nothing but political pandering and an attempt to distract people from the real issue….It worked only because the MSM were complicit in making it effective.
Are there FCC rules that allow major networks to give free coverage to one candidate and not give the other equal time? If so, you have all violated these restrictions.

Fox Television owner Rupert Murdoch is a Clinton fund raiser. His stations attacks against Obama are the equivalent to millions in negative attack ads.
ABC’s Brian Ross spliced together the Jeremiah Wright highlight reel.
ABC also accused Obama of snubbing Clinton when he merely turned to answer a question from Senator McCaskill.

And look at all the free press Obama was given!
First the “race” speech as he stood solemnly in front of a thousand American flags as he told us all that his pastor was a pistol… like an old Uncle to him…. But it was ok to do away with his typical white Grandma who brought him up!
The it was the wrenching “I was wrong, and my pastor is uncontrol-able” speech some weeks later. In this one, Jake used up screensfull of copy and the Chicago Tribune had a comic strip in full color drawn up for page three of its Sunday paper. And Obama came out and disinherited poor Jeremiah for the tenure of this election….
Oh, and he threw him under the bus with his poor white typical grandma .
That was thousands of hours of air time…free publicity out the kazoo.
How come you never treated Hillary so royally?
I think when it comes to this election, the media …. including the fourth estate… is broken.
I think that rather than being objective, the media has been judgemental to such an extreme that it has pretty much predetermined the direction in which this election has gone.
Is it fixable?
I pray that it is!

The basic problem here with the media is that they are NOT independent organizations; they are corporations driven by Wall Street’s demands to make money. Sensationalism sells; and it’s much cheaper to sensationalize some small point than to do an in-depth story. Why is it so many people don’t know what Obama’s accomplished? He’s gotten some variety of legislatin passed, he’s traveled abroad in the service of arms reduction, but you hardly hear about any of this from the regular press, much less the TV media. And how are we to evaluate Clinton’s claim of experience without some extensive review? How about, say, assessments from various people who’ve worked alongside the candidates over the years?—But that would mean hiring more reporters, who might have to put in some days’ work just on one story. Let’s not forget how busy the media were cutting back on real reporting, closing down news bureaus, in the last few decades just so they could increase their profit margin.
It’s also important to remember that the elections represent BIG money for the media from the millions and millions of dollars worth of election ads bought. How critical is any media outlet likely to be of a candidate who might send lots of money their way? How is all that money likely to influence the coverage of a candidate? –Oh, reporters will claim to and even believe themselves to be independent, but it’s not likely that any who were inclined to go too far outside the orbit of what a media company found acceptable would have their job for too long.
Another effect of the lure of ad money is that candidates who aren’t seen as raising alot of money are dismissed early by the media as not a viable candidate; are given little coverage; and are dismissed from debates, even while they are still running. What an insult to the American people, what a stifling of democracy, to have some media giant decide which of that candidates we are going to get to hear!
The greed of investors for a high profit has corrupted our media. Considering how vital media is to the functioning of democracy,as the Founding Fathers recognized, we ought to be thinking of ways we can limit the demands of that greed and have at least some media––and not just the web, but the common popular media people here are referencing repeatedly–free from the choking constraints of excessive profit and working in the service of the democracy Americans deserve.

To Ninak,
it’s the media that keeps mentioning that Hillary’s supporters are old people and uneducated poor white americans who make less than 50000$ a year. For one this is not completely true because a lot of educated people support her as well.
It’s a poor way of diminishing the impact of voters who support her by mocking their social status. Never forget that America was founded by hard working pioneers and hard work has never hurt anyone, it can only help except if you work hard and don’t get a chance, which might be true these days because the world has moved and so economy.
We are in the world of speculation with ruthless practice from big financial groups. The gap between the young generation and the old generation lies there. Youth nowadays are into internet and visual effects. What does that mean “hope and change”? if not the illusion of it? As the world and so do american have to deal with the planet warming and the ice melting, it takes responsibility, work, and consciousness, along with imagination to do something to help avoiding big catastrophy, while dealing with everyday life and existence.
Please don’t give me rhetoric, show me the capacity of the leader to work out the way towards solutions, only then one can talk about unity for only such a leader can coalesce americans behind him or her. OB is not the one. Show me courage, combativity, imagination to carry out the challenge of this complex era of planetarian consciousness.
You are lucky enough to live in a rich country, with some freedom. Go to Africa, to poor asian countries, to norht african countries and you can appreciate the hard working mentalities of americans who have contributed to shape America.

I saw him twice. he looks like crazy and out of mind.
He is saying whatever things.Out of control.
….what is a medical term…. d-ebil?
or c-retin?

CNN and MSNBC are so blatantly pro-Obama, which is why I won’t watch their campaign coverage anymore. If Hillary had lost by 41% to Obama we’d still be hearing their applause filling the airwaves It is so biased! FOX is the only channel that will give the audience more fair reporting and discussions. Thank you FOX!
RISE, HILLARY, RISE!

The great thing about FOX news is the payoff in viewership for fair and balanced coverage. I was on a website for cable news ratings and they were 7 times that of anybody else. I might even be underestimating. CNN and MSNBC should be worried.

NinaK…go to your everloving Obama news coverage and CHANGE THE CHANNEL, FROM THE ONLY FAIR AND BALANCED CABLE NEWS. WAY TO GO FOX (and don’t you just love Sean Hannity who has the gonads to keep newsworty Obama stories out there, so American’s can learn who this guy really is).

How about Chris Matthews statement last night–while coanchoring the MSNBC primary night coverage–that Hillary Clinton is “the Al Sharpton of white people”? This is a far cry from the unbiased reporting of the news. MSNBC should either fire Matthews or suspend him then not renew his $4 million contract which is up this year.

@NinaK… well put! maybe a little to rational for the I’m gonna vote for McCain out of spite/FOX really is fair and balanced all of a sudden crowd but what the !%#&
@Debra, etc… “ding-dong the witch is dead!” get over it already

confused,
You are 100% correct. But let me unconfuse you. It’s not about the facts it’s about amusing oneself.
Notice how when the facts are presented with evidence that cannot be refuted it gets ignored.
Time to get dinner ready.

Let me try that again. Every time they try to find something wrong with him, it brings out something wrong with them, mainly how … etc,
