In a must-read article today, Howard Kurtz writes about what has been blatant media bias against Hillary Clinton's campaign

I have written many times on Daily Kos about what I have perceived as anti-Hillary and pro-Obama coverage, essentially creating an uneven playing field in the race for the Democratic nomination for president. In Mr. Kurtz's article he particulalry calls out several news bureaus, pundits, and blogs for their biased coverage
Arianna Huffington, one of the Net's leading Clinton-bashers, has written of "Hillary's hypocrisy running neck and neck with her cynicism." New Republic Editor-in-Chief Marty Peretz posted an essay last week titled "The End of BillaryLand Is on Its Way. Rejoice!"
One is also amazed by how far off the coverage is from the actual race as Kurtz writes
Never mind that the two Democratic candidates remain close in the delegate count, or that Clinton has been described as doomed once before, in New Hampshire. She is drowning in a sea of negative coverage.
In watching a lot of the talking heads shows on cable news and network Sunday shows I have been amazed how literally none of the pundits seem to provide balanced coverage. For example, today I listened to Seven Days in America on Air America Radio (a weekly wrap up show on the political news) and all three of the pundits were pro-Obama. Kurtz has exposed this
Fueling the sense that the former first lady is sinking is increasingly sharp criticism from liberal columnists who are embracing Obama, while few pundits are firmly in Clinton's corner.
Should the press be choosing the president or should it not be up to the voters? Should the candidates not have an equal opportunity to present their views to the people? The country's future is at stake.
