ATTN: Everybody... the media ain't buying it. No faux scandal this time.
This video of CNN is a must watch. I hope this is how this plays out. No more smear, no more fauxrage, no more 24/7 scandal.

21. I want Obama to win PA more than ANYTHING.
I will win the nomination anyway(the math) but a win in PA will force Hillary out now instead of a few months from now. We could finally move on to the next step in the journey to taking back the White House.

son watches him in Hawai'i and he says Jack keeps him sane when reporting on Obama. Jeff Toobin and Gloria Borger didn't do too badly, either.

36. I didn't either.
Perhaps if there was an intelligent point they would have placed it sooner. In context, youtube has an abundance of hate-Hillary clips I avoid equally. I want to see a Democrat in the WH in '08. Are you helping?

54. Well
33. I'm not a hater. I'm a Hillary supporter.

Good for you - admitting your a Hillary supporter is the first step to recovery.

Now go to the O'bama website and listen to "yes we can" and you'll make a 100% recovery
back to the real world.

Good Luck with your Treatment!

I :loveya: that old crusty curmudgeon Cafferty. Obama is such a gentleman, and a much better person than Mc-Clinton. He wouldn't take the bait on the Bosnia lies, he could have made hay about that, but he chose not to rip another Dem apart.

38. It is amazing the way the media protects Obama and attacks Clinton
I actually heard--both during the WRight issue and now this: "should we even be discussing this issue?" And then they went back to attacking Clinton.

Backwards and in High Heels.

43. Not victimhood: shining the light on reality is not whining
closing your eyes to it, is perpetuating it. And I know it pleases you that the media is helping Obama and Attempting to hurt Clinton...but it should not.

Democracy needs a free press. Not one that manipulates the lemming-like-masses.

51. Wrong again
Politicians speak all the time. The news highlights what they want to. We are manipulated by the stories they air and the stories they choose to hide. I have not seen any misspeaks by Michelle lately. The media has stopped. Too risky, her obvious bitterness towards America is not good for Obama's campaign. Yet, they continue to dig and distort and lie about Clinton.

That is the truth. And there was a time, when DU agreed that the media was biased. Now that it is favoring your candidate, you will sleep with the enemy.

And democracy suffers when the media is nothing but propaganda. It is a shame the masses are too lazy to find the truth for themselves.

They shouted "LIAR" and whispered "oops." Just like they do with every Clinton story. Truth does not matter.
