Clinton dominates campaign news

Mon Oct 29, 1:08 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has dominated news coverage of the 2008 White House race, partly due to negative segments about her on conservative talk radio, according to a new study released on Monday.


Clinton was the main subject of 17 percent of stories during the first five months of this year, almost twice as much coverage as the leading Republican candidate, Rudy Giuliani, who had 9 percent, the study found.

The tone of coverage for the two during that period was about equal -- roughly 37 percent of stories were negative while 27 percent were positive, according to the study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard University's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy.

Conservative radio show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh have criticized Clinton for years, from her days as the first lady in the 1990s to New York senator and now candidate for the November 2008 presidential election. The review found that 86 percent of their segments on her were negative.

3. Yup, don't throw me in that brier patch!!!!!!

Of course they want her. Just ask any ad agency, any publicity is better than no publicity at all. And when it comes from the likes of Limbaugh, why how can any self described dem not be a Clinton supporter, after all, he hates her.

Maybe you should reread the story http://xroads.virginia.edu/~ug97/remus/toosharp.html
