How is the Obama/Clinton battle being portrayed by the media? I'm currently

[pdxmom]

listening to Ed Schultz, and the callers (and Ed) are just slamming the Clintons. I also saw something earlier that Randi's show was trying to explain Obama's Reagan statement. I know that this morning, on both MSNBC and CNN, the commentary was mixed on how the feud between the two was going to be viewed.

Since the general public isn't very informed and gets their info and opinion from a few minutes of TV a day, what message are they receiving? How is this all being reported?

1. It is beat up on Bill day

The news seem to be hitting Bill for what he has been saying. (I like it myself but I am bias against Clinton)

6. I agree. Bill seems to be irritating them.

It appears he is able to constantly reframe the issues, something that Obama would like to have, and therefore I think that's why we see a lot more of him on the TV than anyone from Obama's staff.

2. This all makes me so glad I'm an Edwards supporter. n/t

4. Actually, that's exactly where I am, too. I just find it interesting to compare

what I see and read on here and around the Internet and what is shown on TV and said on radio.

3. Here's a video Josh Marshall put together:

5. I've been looking for a video clip just played on Hardball...

I'm very disappointed ~ instead of apologizing for invoking Reagan in order to get a conservative endorsement, the clip showed Obama speaking today and spinning like crazy.

7. So how is Hardball framing the whole thing? That should be interesting. N/T

9. I don't think they even commented...

The video was played just before going to something else entirely.

Their coverage was more about the MLK messages.

11. Thanks, polichick. Hate being stuck in this office today. N/T

13. You're most welcome. :)

10. The Hardball panel just said Obama should stick with Hillary...

...and not go after Bill ~ it's not helping him.

8. Lots of MSM in a playpen crying, which means Clinton will sweep Super Tuesday

12. OMG your avatar. Amazing

14. Charlie Rangel just spanked both of them on CNN

He told Clinton to lay back and then told Obama off for the reagan thing.

He basically told them to both be careful.
