1. Um, that's not what the article says
it says she's attacking the media for writing her off. It actually says she's running an ad late in a state where she's expected to lose. It doesn't mention superdelegates from what I could see.

2. Welcome to DU. You must have been on the Conference Call, cuz you got all the Talking
Points down.. one problem.. SuperDelegates are NOT voting Hillary.

She told you to repeat this crap OVER AND OVER AND OVER so SDs WOULD vote Hillary. Do try to keep up.

3. I see her point...the people of Oregon, like people everywhere, probably
have a lower opinion of the MSM than they do of Barack Obama. Smart to run against what you can actually beat, I suppose.

4. Just arrived from the HillaryForum, eh?
Sorry, Hilly is done. And the SDs are staying away from her like she's poison for our prospects in November. It'll all be officially over very soon.

5. IT's standard political fare
Whenever you do poorly, it's all the media's fault.

That's how the meme of "liberal media" was introduced into the American political lexicon in the 80's. They repeated it so many times it became fact even though they didn't beleive it.

THE AD CAMPAIGN; Forget Pundits, Giuliani Says
By MICHAEL COOPER
Published: January 11, 2008


Rudolph W. Giuliani began running the following television commercial on Thursday in Florida, where he is competing most heavily, urging voters not to discount him based on news media coverage of his losses in Iowa and New Hampshire:

...THE SCRIPT An announcer says: ''With pundits and politicos handicapping the campaign like the Super Bowl, it's easy to lose sight of what's at stake -- an economy in peril, a country at war, a future uncertain. The media loves process. Talking heads love chatter. But Florida has a chance to turn down the noise, and show the world that leadership is what really matters.'' Mr. Giuliani then says, ''I'm Rudy Giuliani, and I approved this message.''

ON THE SCREEN An old-fashioned television set shows a rapid-cut montage of some of the best-known talking heads on television, like George Stephanopoulos, Chris Matthews and Bill O'Reilly, and the screen eventually breaks into six squares, as if the Brady Bunch had merged with CNN's Situation Room...

7. She doesn't want the coverage of her campaign to fade.
In other words,

"I will not be ignored!"
