Coverage of Clinton's "Remark"; Total Crap

Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 08:19:33 PM PDT

When are you people going to learn what the old VRWC looks like in action?

The media, almost enmasse, immediately moved to mitigate any bump for Hillary coming out of New Hampshire;

Chris Matthews was out the very next morning making sure he whipped out the old Monica card, saying Hillary only got elected because her husband fooled around.

What do you think that was about?

After non-stop, breathless buildup of the surging Obama in the week leading up to New Hampshire, nearly every single talk show (and most print stories) went asap from her astounding win to talk of the next races, and for good measure they mixed in this utterly ludicrous take on Bill Clinton's remarks regarding Barack Obama's stance on Iraq.

That "story" currently enjoys prominent placement on AOL, Drudge, the front page of the NY Post, the South Carolina papers, and more.

What a fuckin' disgrace!

There is no "there" there, nothing even close to a racist comment by the man who has fought his entire life for equality.

A perfect example of how the media can simply create any theme it wants, and ignore (that would the bribes, kickbacks, and extortion, aka Obama's Rezko problem)whatever it wants.

U Obama-ites really think once they have the Clintons out of the way, they're not going to go to work for the Corporatists/Repubs on Obama ? Think again.

Note: I'm updating this here because I can't be-lieve what I'm reading in this thread.
It didn't cross my mind for single second that using "boy" would be seen in a negative sense. It has been removed.

My bad I guess, but I meant it purely in the sense of "your guy - who can do no wrong" here at Daily Kos.

Think what you will, but there was no ill intent.

Can't help but notice how virtually no one addressed the central point of the dairy.

How the mainstream media have fast-forwarded past Hillary's victory, and onto the next races and this bogus "fairy Tale story.
