Do you think the media will forget how they were partially to blame
for HRC's problems. Damned media, bloggers, internets and damned people with opinions not to her liking. If you think this is going away anytime soon, think again. The media has received calls, threats and heaven knows what else to back off criticisms of "poor Hillary." Terry McAwful was out there blaming the media for every and any bad thing that visited the campaign.

My TV is off, have we heard from McAwful? Lanny Davis? Wasserman-Schultz?, Geraldine? It will be interesting to see what the Sunday A.M. shows have to opine about this. The media, of course not always blameless, I'm not saying that, in turn after criticisms bent over backward to be kinder and gentler to Hill. Can't wait to watch how this plays out with them.

1. I agree, it will be interesting how this plays on Sunday morning TV...
...will the GOP-controlled media be able to criticize Clinton for what she said without actually addressing what she said?

I might even watch.

3. Agree. She was treated as the inevitable nominee and given a free pass early on.
The Clinton camp began complaining only when she started being treated like the other candidates, IMO. I'm sick of hearing them whine like little kids. All that does is prove that she is not qualified to run the country. Is she going to whine that a foreign leader is sexist if they won't agree to meet w/her? Or if they compliment her on her pantsuit? It's gotten positively silly.

4. Hillary will be out of the running soon
It will be Obama v McCain.

The press loves Barack Obama, but it married John McCain.

Without Hillary Clinton, there will be no one to blame -- except the press. The press, on the other hand, could only care less if it had cared in the first place.

You (monmouth) appear to have perspective on things, but most of those who replied have merely found Yet Another Hillary Outrage. I only hope this emotional intensity can be marshaled to stand up to what is coming. Because, as soon as the last clod of dirt is laid on Hillary's political grave, a new truckload will arrive -- for Barack Obama.

We are in for the toughest fight in Democratic Party history.

--p!
