Hillary Clinton: Boo Hoo, Why have you betray me? (tears)
What's with the media sympathy for Sen. Clinton now that Gov. Richardson has now endorsed Sen. Barack Obama. This is really starting to get sickening. I guarrantee if the role was reverse and Obama was losing, the media wouldnt even be covering it, they would already be talking about Hillary vs McCain.
Just think now if Obama wins the Pennsylvania primary this race is over. No need to look forward for NC or IN. It's done. Come on Democrats lets wrap this race up so we can mobilize our war against the Republicans!

I don't know. I really think it's about what makes the best story. I.e., what draws the largest viewer base. Keeping that in mind, I think if the roles were reversed between Obama and Clinton, the media would be playing up Obama's chances of staging an upset because it makes for a good "story". (In this context good != accurate, of course.)

". I guarrantee if the role was reverse and Obama was losing, the media wouldnt even be covering it, they would already be talking about Hillary vs McCain."
Exactly.
And if Obama had lost 12 in a row in huge landslides, it would be too.
And if Obama had told the Hillary Bosnia lie, it would be huge.
If Obama had made McCain's Iran-Al Qaeda gaffe, it would be plastered on cable news 24-7.
The bias of the media is patently obvious. MY only question is why. Is it generational? Racial -- most of these pundits/reporters are white. Is it jealousy -- Obama's almost too good a candidate.
Obama seems to have to be twice as good as his competition to even be in the running. And he has to be near perfect or they pounce. Meanwhile Hillary lies, cheats, and goes ugly and gets a pass.
