Is Hillary Clinton getting a raw deal from the media?
Hillary Clinton is chalking up some of her problems with the electorate to the press -- saying reporters have a worshipful attitude towards Barack Obama while she gets cold shoulders and more skeptical questions. During this week's presidential debate, she even referenced a "Saturday Night Live" skit on the issue.
Is the media treating Clinton unfairly? Or are there other factors behind her fall from frontrunner status?
Thoughts
Some members of the media...

Just watch the video. It's scandalous.
Barack Obama's friendship with known anarchist William Ayers
Submitted on March 1st, 2008 by ToniFirst of all I do believe Hillary has received unfair coverage by the media. Many of the press corp are bias for Obama. They have been eased into a premise that Obama is the chosen one. This making of a President has systematically happened since Obama was a guest at William Ayers home. This meeting introduced Obama to Hyde Park's influential power players. If you don't know who William Ayers is, check the web. He was a weather underground radical in the 70's. And is responsible for bombing the US Capital,Pentagon, Harry S. Truman Bldg @ the State Dept. He was implicated in a bombing of a townhouse in Greenwich Village, NY, 3/6/70, 3 of his associates were killed. Charges went south, due to the FBI not having all their ducks in a row. Mr. Ayers is now teaching at the University of IL. I shutter at the thought of the bad influence he has been with our young people. Mr. Ayers doesn't apologize for anything he has done. He supports a revolution against capitalism. Mine you this is the man Obama is friendly with. How can Texans vote for someone like Barack Obama who has flawed character.
John King better example of impartial reporting
Submitted on March 1st, 2008 by SHI, too, will look elsewhere for news coverage. I have let them know how I feel, also. There are a couple of other thing we as consumers can do, avoid buying the products of the companies that advertise, when they buy commercial time, with them. Let these companies know why we will not buy their products. We can contact our cable companies and tell them we no longer want these networks included in our cable service. When they realize the American people do not accept this type of reporting, they will change. Until then, they will do whatever they want to and unfortunately there are many people that do not have the intelligence to comprehend what they are seeing or even bother to verify what they have heard with another source. I find it appalling that media can have this type of influence on selecting our President and I fear they could turn on their current favorite and use their influence to sway voters to support someone else in the General Election. The media has become the ultimate puppet master and they are manipulating the voters strings. Voters need to do their own homework.
Both CNN AND NBC are biased to OBAMA
Submitted on March 1st, 2008 by AnonymousOf all the members of both these channels news programs only John King of CNN has been fair to all.
It's hard to know which is worse because they vary daily. I only know that after Nov. I will look elsewhere for news! I have emailed both as much.(not that I believe they care a whit).
Is Hillary Getting A Raw Deal.......
Submitted on March 1st, 2008 by SandyNo way. She brought this on herself now she can get out of it herself! She is a cry baby in my opinion. Barack Obama and other candidates get mud slung at them all the time, but she seems to be the only one acting as if she should be treated differently. Get in the mud with the boys Hillary, that's what I say!
Negative press, for sure...
Submitted on March 1st, 2008 by SHFrom THE CITY EDITION | SAN FRANCISCO Bamboozling the American Electorate Again "...political analysts and professional strategists hired by CNN and other broadcast networks began hammering across the notion that “the voters don’t like her”. The adjectives “unlikeable”, “divisive” and “polarizing” have been repeated in the same manner that the phrase “weapons of mass destruction” was hurled every night on the evening news in 2003. The same allegations uttered by conservative ideologues on Fox News throughout 2006 became grist for news programs broadcast from coast to coast. “There is no candidate on record, a front-runner for a party’s nomination, who has entered the primary season with negatives as high as she has,” Rove has prognosticated openly about his nemesis."
The last week seems slightly less obvious, but many of these reporters make no apology or attempt to hide who they are supporting in this primary.
