2. Truthfully
I think that the media lets Hillary get away with murder....because of her gender.

3. Really, I find this entire line of attack by the Clinton camp to be completely unsupported
by the evidence!

You could not have watched that debate if you somehow think that the reporters were biased against Hillary in favor of Barack!

What is it with Hillary supporters? Any question to Hillary on the issues is off limits? The media is "bashing" if tough questions are asked of her?

I personally think that the questioning the other night was fair. Hillary wants to make the analogy that it was unfair because she lost in post debate polling. If you say something often enough to people that aren't paying attention, they will start to believe it. I think George Bush called that elevating the propaganda.

That is Hillary's new campaign tactic!

And could it be that Obama really doesn't have any skeletons in his closet to attack? Could that really be the Clinton Camps frustration? Could that be why they have resorted to juvenile and swarmy campaign tactics in this race for the last week?

This entire reverse psychology she is attempting to pull off is being more than tiresome!

6. Bullshit. If Hillary had won 11 straight Obama wouldn't even be discussed.
All the news right now is about how Hillary can make a comeback.

This argument is lame and desperate.

7. If Obama had lost 11 primaries in a row, blew 140 million, switched personas as often as Hillary

he'd have had the fork stuck in him ages ago.

8. It's been all Obama all morning long today
. . . and, report after report putting Clinton and her campaign down. Not ONE negative report or word about Obama. He must be immaculate.

18. I had on Anderson Cooper just now.
Have YOU seen ANY critical reports or comments about Obama today? I haven't. Just a steady drumbeat of Hillary's desperate and Hillary's losing. Nice.

20. was on . . .
You think they've been fair? Good for you. I think the coverage has been ridiculously slanted, as I described.

23. you're confusing
reporting on the state of the democratic primaries as unfair to hillary.

She's lost 11 contests in a row. What do you expect the newsmedia to say, that the race is 50/50, that it's fine
if she loses Texas & Ohio?

Numbers don't lie.

22. Well, that is what's in the news.
If you've got a negative word against Obama that carries any wait, we're all ears.

11. Should have been a skit about dismissing Dodd, Biden, Richardson
How many dismissive questions were thrown at them? How many ways were they asked when they would bow out to the "inevitable" nominee? Oh well, the strike must have eaten up that idea.

26. No nails were even touched ...
... if SNL didn't bother to mention the total lack of coverage of Edwards, Dodd, Biden, Richardson, Kucinich and Gravel.

Hillary's been covered plenty by the media, and was presented as the inevitable nominee for over a year. She failed to win the Democratic nomination by assuming it was won and, instead, spending all her time positioning herself for the general election. (see: IWR, flag burning amendment, Kyl-Lieberman)
