I think Gene Lyons had it right when he said: "[Hillary] is clearly this campaign’s Beltway piñata, a calculating phony like Gore."
the Mainstream Media just LO-O-O-O-VES to bash those libruls (there is a good roundup HERE), and there's no equal time for Republicans. The MSM has blown up the spat between Hillary and Obama all out of proportion just so it can portray Hillary as "spiteful" and "angry."

Personally, I'm not the world's biggest Hillary fan. But I'll be damned if I'll stand by and let the media tar her the way they misrespresented Al Gore.
Someone who likes Hillary more than I do, Elayne Boosler, said something that made me reconsider: "We need someone who can go down there and drag them up by their combovers. Every negative word I hear spoken against Hillary sounds to me only like a positive; tough, old school, cold, an insider. Great!! Let those senators whom you and I know to be slimy cowards shiver at her approach. Hillary can take it all, she HAS taken it. They know that, and they want anyone but Hillary. They'll never be
able to play their game against her."
My 1-2-3 preferences for President right now go Edwards, Clark, and Richardson (and yes, I know Wesley Clark hasn't declared). But if the MSM keeps drawing a target on Hillary, she'll move onto my list, and probably up my list. Because while the Republicans have taken the country to hell in a handbasket, the media has been an all-too-willing partner, happily calling shotgun on the road to perdition. The MSM is the enemy -- who they hate is who they fear, and who they fear may be our country's best hope.
