« When Jimmy Smits Played Obama | chautauquan's Blog | Hillary "Rowdy" Clinton VS Barack "Superfly" Obama »

Which DJ controls the spin?


Why isn't the media reporting that after claiming Obama plagiarized lines in a speech, Hillary used one of her husbands and then closed the night with one of John Edwards'?

And she calls Barack Obama a Xerox for using lines from his campaign co-chair? HYPOCRITE.

Let's be clear. Like what Josh posted on the front page, I don't think there's anything wrong with using the lines. I normally would be glad to hear any candidate, even HRC say these things. I just think she was wrong to try and manufacture an issue against her opponent.

I especially think it's wrong that CNN, MSNBC and hordes of other news outlets are broadcasting the Xerox zinger without the balance of bringing these points to light.

Clearly, for all their complaining about the media's treatment of HRC, Clinton's camp is the most favored in coverage. They quickly report any scandal on Obama or McCain, but have yet to this year do any Clinton scandals.

Sure, they covered the race baiting and I'm sure some Clinton fans can find some other minor things, but with the myriad of meaty Clinton scandals out there (earmarks to campaign contributors, how she was the only first lady to ever have criminal charges brought against her, various fundraising snafus, misrepresentation of her record) it'd be nice to see some fair and balanced dirt-digging.
