Hillary Clinton Slams MSNBC, Praises FOX NEWS

I haven't really noticed much bias on Fox outside of just generic anti-democrat bias that you'd expect.

but Chris Matthews on MSNBC has been a real tool (or am I thinking of Keith Olbermann?)
 
Heh, I'm not entirely sure saying Fox has been more fair than MSNBC counts as praising Fox. I think Fox has more consistent and intentional bias in general, but MSNBC is just a ridiculous excuse for journalism. Compared to them, I think Fox DOES look good.

Also, I sense this is going to result in a lot of conflicting feelings among conservatives. On the one hand, the hatred most conservatives seem to have for Hillary wouldn't seem to allow for the possibility that she has ever been right about anything. On the other hand, the love of Fox News among a lot of conservatives would seem to suggest that some conservatives can't HELP but think Hillary must be right here. Oh my God, what are Republicans going to do?!?!? 😉

Matthews just loves a good political story, I think. You could tell that's why he got so excited the night of the Iowa victory--Barack Hussein Obama winning, the uplifting speech, etc. I think anyone who likes to follow politics has to at least like the story of Obama and I agree Matthews lets it show too much in his reporting.

Then again he isn't so much a reporter as a guy who is hired to just sit there and talk, so you can't really blame him.
 
I'm beginning to think conservatives were secretively supporting Obama because they thought Hillary had the nomination locked up and tried to take some steam out of her sails; get Obama to throw some mud at her and hoped it would get nasty. In reality Obama has received a lot of good press and now conservatives are realizing he's more electable than Hillary; I think there original plans are backfiring and realizing Obama could be a formidable challenger.
 
If you are a hillary fan never leave CNN, the Clinton news network. Everytime I flip through that channel, Hillary is giving a speech or one of her supporters is singing her praises.

 
It's true, Fox wants Hillary to win the Democrat Primary because it ensures a GOP victory without the need to cheat in the general election. As for this being "more fair", it all depends on your perspective, and I guess your definition of "fair".

Do you believe in polls? If so, Obama is the Republicans worse nightmare.

I think the polls are probably right. McCain isn't a bad guy, and that's enough when the alternative might be someone (Hillary) who evokes a deep sense of loathing in a rather large portion of the population. In other words, McCain might be a good "Anybody But Hillary" candidate. Kerry almost came close to winning in 2004 with pretty much the same approach, and Hillary doesn't have the benefit of having been President for 4 years.

Obama, on the other hand, is the kind of candidate who people can't help but want to support. He certainly has his detractors, especially among people who still haven't got over Lincoln freeing the slaves, but that group isn't nearly big enough to make an "Anybody but Obama" campaign work. And that's pretty much all McCain would have going for him, he'll but running as the cranky old guy who carries on the tradition of Bush style Republicanism facing off a young, energetic guy excited about taking the country in a new direction.

If I was a Republican, I'd be hoping Hillary wins the primary.
 
Why do we even talk about the national polls as if they have meaning at this point?

The election is 8+ months away. Go back in history to last September, only 5 months ago, and you will see that McCain was polling only 12% in primary polls. And Obama was only getting around 20%.

A LOT can and will happen between now and Election Day.

The thing that will hurt Obama the most is that he will no longer be able to avoid talking about issues because he will no longer be campaigning against someone who shares his view on most topics.

McCain's issues aren't going to win him anymore votes than he has now. The hard liners on both sides can't stand him. If he splits the middle with Obama then Obama will wipe the floor with him.

 
Fox is the Repub leaning channel so they spend much more time on McCain and his problems with the conservative base.

They seem pretty objective at this point regarding the Dem primaries (HRC v Obama.)

But yeah, the other channels, all Dem leaning seem to have chosen their favorite, either Obama or Clinton.

I don't see the big deal though, other than Clinton playing the victim card AGAIN.

McCain could be whinning about Fox, or Obama about CNN. Instead, as usual, it's Hillary whinning. Now it's her whinning about "the vast left-wing conspiracy on MSNBC" and unfair treatment etc etc.

She's supposed to be tough? :roll:

yeah. I mean, remember when she took a couple of Obama's statements out of context and accused him of being racist?

oh wait...

No, but I sure do remember an angry, finger-pointing Bill accusing Obama of pulling a "hit job" on them.
 
CNN is PRO Clinton
MSNBC is PRO Obama

Its obvious listening to their coverage for 5 minutes.

Fox is less biased than either for thier campaign, they really dont have a dog in the fight. That said you get the feel the lean for Hillary because they view Hillary as beatable in the general.
 
I do not think a GOP victory is possible, even if Hillary is nominated. I think a GOP Victory is a long shot.

I think Hillary can insure she will lose if she gets too mean and underhanded. Voters will pick up on this sort of thing the way we have so many bloggers. You just can not hide from all the bloggers.

After the Florida Primary Hillary had a televised 20 minute speech that even carried on the St Louis, MO local 97.1 fm Conservative talk radio station. I could not believe they aired that speech, because the Florida Primary was not even counted for Democrats.
