The Mainstream Media had ensitive perceiver. But now that she is showing sitgns of life, you can expect the serial-killer U.S. press to return to the bloody crime scene and do its best to finish her off.

1. Er, what I meant was...
The mainstream media let up on Hillary the past few weeks because they thought she was dead. But now that she's proved she's not, they'll be back to finish her off.

They don't want this to end until 2020. THis is their highest rated primary season in HISTORY! They will drag it out as long as they can.

8. Oh please, Hillary and the media are "friends with benefits."
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 01:08 AM by TwoSparkles
Have you been paying attention to the leverage Clinton has with the media? It's
so over-the-top! She has these conference calls in which she berates the media
for going easy on Obama. Her camp suggests how they can go after him and the
negative Obama stories into which they should be digging.

Guess what? They're pretty much following her marching orders! They have been
going after Obama and they laid into him this week.

I find this really disturbing. What is a politician doing---giving marching orders
to the media? Conversely, why in the world does the media allow any politician to
bully them into covering an opponent negatively?

This stinks. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of the General Election, with Obama
as the Democrat; and Hillary as the Rovian, dirty-trickster jerk that only knows how to
fearmonger and attack.

9. err
the same media that kept her alive after losing over and over? Yes the media Loves to Hate Clinton. I think it's safe to say the media loves to be able to hate Clinton for a little longer. One things for sure Clinton hating brings in the ratings. Why people think the media wants Clinton gone is beyond me? So to anser the question: no the media won't finish the job. They love hating on the Clintons, they want her around to hate on. It brings in the ratings. Look at this message board tonight. Blind Clinton hate and love are driving this board. You think McDull is going to keep eyes in front of the TV set. The media needs the Clintons around.
