Hillary: Fox Friendlier To Me Than MSNBC

From Politico:

JOHN HARRIS: Senator, you were offended the other day for reasons that I think a lot of people understood by comments that were made on MSNBC. And in the wake of that, I heard from some of the people on your staff who say, to their surprise, they actually think that Fox News is giving you a better break than MSNBC. Is that your perception?

SENATOR CLINTON: Well, there was some independent study that my staff sent me -- we didn't do it -- but it was some independent study which seemed to suggest that, that in terms of the fairness of the coverage -- you know, look, I'm a mom first. I'm a candidate second. And, you know, I really am troubled by this pattern of behavior and comments that you hear.

JOHN HARRIS: Two-week suspension, you said that's inadequate for what was said. What would be adequate? Are you looking for a firing or something more?

SENATOR CLINTON: That's not my job, John. You know, that's the job of the people who run the network. But I think that they need to take a hard look.

This is like the third time they've had to apologize. And there are a lot of things that they haven't had to apologize for that might have merited one. So I wish they would take a look at, you know, some of the pattern of demeaning comments that are made on their networks.

She looks like Murdoch and pimps wars the same way he does. These shriveled monsters must go and give way to people who are actually planning to live on this planet in 30 years.

"Hillary: Fox Friendlier to me than MSNBC"

That's because you are their kind of people Hillary.

Hillary and Bill both do the same thing: They run to the left and govern to the right.

Bill Clinton, for example, passionately campaigned against NAFTA, and then signed it into law after he was elected. They both pander to the working class during the election cycle, and then promptly screw these same people when they are safely past the election.

How long are working class people going to fall for this same old trick, again, and again, and again . . .

From pimping the war in Iraq to offshoring our economy, if you watch what Hillary does, and ignore what she says, Hillary is George W. in a pantsuit.

[jacklambert]

Exactly right. Wolves in sheep's clothing. Of course Fox is Hillary friendly she a Republican!

[sethyeah]

Hillary is acting so fucking stupid that she just might win the presidency.

[kroses98]

Don't count on it! If she wins the nomination, she will NEVER win the General!

[Nicolaus]

On behalf of Fox and its owner...

Whatever happened to 'change' in the Senator's Agenda?

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Set Hillary, and your feelings about this unholy alliance, aside for a moment.

What does this say about Murdoch? I say it says he's betting on a winner.

[CaptainVideo]

He is supporting a loser. He wants McCain to win.

[nuttincowboy]

You've never heard of a hedge bet?

[kroses98]

Then why did the NY Post endorse Obama? Murdoch is a sleaze, playing both sides for what he can get!

[HowietheScreamer]

Duh... sells more papers and advertising that way. That's so fucking transparent even a REPUBIC could see that one.

[CaptainVideo]

That appears to have been a ploy to get Obama to stop boycotting FOX, which seems to have succeeded.

[disqo21]

you have it backwards: what does this say about Hillary? Nothing good.

[artsandminds]

Fox has been really hurt by both Obama and Edwards not appearing on FOX, CNN has really taken the lead. Hillary, just like her husband, will do whatever it takes to get into the White House she has no morals. I will never vote for her. Pro abortion women are playing a dangerous game: if Obama does not get the nomination, many of his independent supporters will either not vote or vote for McCain, McCain will win and when Stevens retires from the Supreme Court McCain will appoint the last vote needed to overturn ROE V Wade. I am pro choice but if Clinton women choose to put gender over what is good for the country (Obama) they may win the battle but loose the war.

[SmootyBooty]

What more do you Hillary followers have to hear before you realize she is ready to sell you out to be president? Why are you so willing to let a republican win?
Forget the mass media. Read.

[kroses98]

The Hillary followers here are mostly FAUX Trolls, pretending. They are working for their bread and butter!

When you face an opponent who is stronger than you in almost every category then it can appear that the entire world is biased against you.

People are not biased simply because they favor one candidate over another. "Bais" implies an unfair pre-judgment, not simply a preference. Sure, as both candidates are becoming better known, more and more people and organizations are expressing a preference for Obama over Clinton, but I don't see any evidence of pre-judgment.

[CaptainVideo]

Any Democrat who likes the evil FOX noise network does not deserve the support of Democratic voters.

[SunshineDaydream]

yup. it is almost an oxymoron.

[kroses98]

AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!!

[CaptainVideo]

The picture at the top of the article clearly shows why Democrats should not support Hillary for the nomination. She is a solid part of the entrenched establishment and cannot possibly represent change.

[CaptainVideo]

A good caption for the picture would be "Birds of a feather flock together."

"Some independent study" means what, exactly? Politician-speak, once again,.." **********­**********­* Not believing is so much easier isn't it? There was an independent study and this was even before the PIMPING insult- so I am sure the numbers are even more lopsided now. From the non-partisan Center for Media and Affairs: This is a direct quote from the study you suggest doesn't exist: "TV election news has been hardest on Hillary Clinton this fall, while Barack Obama and Mike
Huckabee have been the biggest media favorites, according to a new study by the Center for Media
and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University. The study also found that Fox
NewsChannel’s evening news show provided more balanced coverage than its counterparts on the
broadcast networks." and it says this:

"On-air evaluations of Hillary Clinton were nearly 3 to 2 negative (42% positive vs.
58% negative comments), while evaluations of her closest competitor Barack Obama was better than 3
to 2 positive (61% positive vs. 39% negative). John Edwards attracted much less coverage, but his
evaluations were 2 to 1 positive (67% positive**­**********­**********­******* It is a sad sate of affairs when Fox, who still is biased, is doing the best job. For the full report, that you claim doesn't exist, you can go to http://www.cmpa.com/releases/07_12_21_Election_Study.pdf

**********­**********­**********­**********

There is another cult at work here. That is the Hate Hillary Clinton Cult. No matter how many times you take a few minutes to research their baseless claims and show them that they either are wrong or have outright lied- it doesn't matter. They are in a blind rage- under the hypnotic spell of the right-wing....

[kroses98]

Media Matters is a SHILL for Hillary Clinton. They are the ones who got rid of Imus, and who went "gunning" for David Shuster. WHEN will they get rid of the REALLY BAD ones, too numerous to mention, like O'Reilly, Limbaugh, etc., etc.

[Bobby]

Just remember, Hillary has MORE lobbyist money than ANY other candidate, Dem or Repub. She even took money from RUPERT MURDOCH. No wonder she says shit like that!

[jporcelli]

Does anyone realize that FOX wants Clinton to be the nominee because she will lose????? Its called reverse psychology.

[CaptainVideo]

Has anybody noticed that Scarborough was described as being "on vacation" this morning? Right! He goes on vacatation during the height of the primary season. Looks like Hillary has succeeded in intimidating MSNBC.

[CaptainVideo]

Hillary: Remember that if you lie down with pigs you end up stinking like the pigs.

[Wulfstan]

When Hillary was asked about the Bush-Cheney power grab of the Presidency (the Unitary Executive) over Congress, Hillary said she would study it. She is looking forward to be Dictator. Or is it Rosa Kleb of Smersh? Karl Rove approved this message.

[Politiking]

NBC/MSNBC is ridiculously pathetic in their coverage of Senator Clinton. They have decided since 2007 that they will work hard to promote Obama. I don't know how many free speeches they have covered for Obama during this campaign that went on and went on forever (beginning to end).

At one point, they had to interrupt Sen. McCain's victory speech on Super Tuesday just so they could cover Obama's speech from beginning to end (more than 10 minutes).

N(etwork) for (B)arack (C)ampaign.

[CaptainVideo]

Tucker, Scarborough, and Matthews support Olberman? You've got to be kidding. Most of the talking heads of MSNBC are right of center to various degees and can be expected to favor McCain. Olberman and Schuster are the exception.

[vsign]

I don't know if I can forgive the Democratic Party for letting Obama's candidancy divide the party. I don't know if I can forgive Howard Dean and all the players that allowed all of this to happen. Obama's candidancy is so lacking in substance, the party needs to fight back. Obama is a motivational speaker for hate toward Hillary and Bill. He used the caucus states (beginning with Iowa) to gain momentum, intimidated the media (with getting IMUS fired) and used MSNBC to silence President Clinton as an important surrogate for Hillary. MSNBC timed Obama's surge just right.

Obama trying to change the rules for super delegates is wrong. Howard Dean should stand up to Obama forcefully and try to save the party. If he doesn't, I will not be able to stay in the Democratic Party. Find the money and redo all the primary elections in caucus states. Give the silent majority in the Democratic Party a voice or we will lose our souls and lose in November.

[CaptainVideo]

What about Hillary wanting to change the rules about Michigan and Florida delegates being excluded because they violated the party rules about when the primaries are to be held, rules that Michigan and Florida had agreed to and then broke. Obama's name was not even on the Michigan ballot, and now she wants the delegates chosen in this non-election to be represented. That is cheating.

[disqo21]

Hillary is a scum bag. Along with her total douchebag husband, whom i used to respect. Both their legacies are tarnished.

[KaAp]

Oh my my allowed this to happen as in allowing him to run? Surely you jest this is supposed to be a form of a joke ...

How will you loose your souls you voiceless masses?

I just feel like breaking out into a chorus of Evita

[Micaanab]

So you think we shouldn't have a choice. You believe the democrats should just appoint someone they feel would work better for our party. Good plan. In fact why even have a choice in the general election. Lets just have the senate appoint a president.
And exactly why do you believe it's Oboma that is splitting the party. I feel it's Hillery with her misleading lies she lets slip out into the public. I feel she should drop out. What exactly makes your opinion so correct?

And If I remember right, Obama isn't trying to change the rules. The Super Delegates already have the right to change their minds.

[SaskiaStars]

Exactly!

[CaptainVideo]

Don't those Obama people realize that Hillary was entitled to get the nomination. That it was her turn? How dare they challenge the entrenched party establishment and let the people decide who the candidate should be.
