2. Hillary has been THE choice of the MSM
all along-they like the idea of a juicy storyline I guess. There's an old addage that says there's no such thing as bad press. As far as being pro Obama-I'm not so sure, but when it comes to the ignoring Edwards I couldn't agree more-so I voted no

3. Thats how it looked to me
on meet the press this morning and on Tweety's show. Although Tweety does seem to be a little chastened by the backlash against his pervasive misogyny. The press prefers a two person race and Edwards poor showing in NH and NV give them more reason to marginalize him. Kinda makes one wonder why they still pay attention to Rudy and Fred, unless there really is a pro puke bias at work.

4. At least today on NBC, PBS, ABC it was an obvious pro-Obama and dis Hillary day - I was
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 12:56 PM by papau
only a little surprised that so many channels had the same theme at the same time - usually it seems to rotate. I guess winning Nevada has them scared so the convene "panels" so they can question "if she can't control Bill how can she run country" over videos where I did not see the out of control "anger" that they claimed was there. Also on NBC (that was the last one I watched - and they are all becoming a blur so it may have been on the others) they were worried about the poor VP's job and and lack of influence in a Whitehouse with Hillary.

Many many generalized comments on the need for vision and not management - with only one of the ladies on NBC noting that women can do both.

An interesting revelation of the media bias in favor of Obama.

7. Listen to Air America, same thing
Ed Schultz has become largely unlistenable because his obsession with her has crossed the line into hatred. You can hear the spittle fly, just like Limbaugh, when he rants about her. Stephanie Miller is not too far behind him.

8. The media's Republicans and pretend liberals are competing to push Obama
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 06:15 PM by billbuckhead
Maybe for different reasons but they're working together. For instance, Charles Krauthammer was gloating about Obama being blowback for white liberals. NPR can barely hides it's glee for :tinfoilhat:bama.

6. The media annointed Hillary a year ago.
That still hasn't changed.
