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.

"fox is more friendlier to *me*"
whelp that does it for me. it's all about hillary, not about solidarity with all the other dems that fox news has trashed.
hillary can suck eggs, i'm voting obama.
that tipped me over the edge finally.

[Irons]

Problem is when U HANG with Rupert you start to LOOK like him.

[Ides]

Of course Fox is friendlier. They have more money invested in you.

[Yogsoggoth]

No, Fox wants Hillary to be the candidate because they know McCain will beat her.

Why else would Ruppert have held a fund raiser for her?

[PlasticSpoon]

Good strategy, Clinton. It makes me sick to think that our potential next Pres (Obama 08!) would suck up to the swine, but if you see a weakness in the Conservative fabric, wouldn't you start pulling the thread?

[springsm]

That is right and the gop thinks they can really fight clinton with their nasty crap and Fox will be leading the charge. She had better not get too cocky over that. And she had better realize that the MEDIA wants to be in on MAKING the history of our first Af-Am/Cauc. president. All of them are "pimping" for Obama.

[CitizenRob]

She voted for the Iraq war.

Now she thinks fox is fair.

Do any of you need more proof that her judgment is either faulty or based solely on what is immediately most convenient for her?

[Realbluesky]

Why wouldn't FOX treat Hillary like the conservative queen she is. She's voted just the way they've wanted her to.
Don't be fooled. She's a Republican in Democrat clothing.

[Savanarola]

Actually I think she is a DLC Democrat is fat-girl's clothing.

[Ohg]

Sadly - MSNBC has gone crazy with their anti- Hillary, anti-feminine, and anti-african-american politics....

Hillary has looked into the soul of Rupert Murdoch, and she sees a man she can trust.

O.K. experience fans out there, I think that about sums up Hillary's case for confidence in her leadership.

Obama 08!

[ReelBusy]

I have to agree. If Hillary truly thinks FOX News is "fair and balanced" then she doesn't have the judgment skills to be President.

Maybe that's why she voted to authorize force in Iraq. She was watching Fox news at the time! Mystery solved.

Hillary, I wouldn't be bragging about Fuks Noise being nicer to you then MSNBC. It just reveals your corporatist DLC.ORG point of view.

Sean: "Well, when we say you murdered Vince Foster we didn't mean that was a bad thing!"

Billo: "And when we say you're a closet lesbian, we're secretly intrigued, like when I tried to get a producer and her friend to have a threesome with me!"

Brit: "We call all our female friends 'old bags'-- it's meant affectionately!"

Shep: "We're smiling at you now so you won't see the knife we'll plant in your back in the fall!"

[Nonamnesiac]

To me, the real contradiction is she is willing to kill or maim my family members and family members of hundreds of thousands of other families with members in the military against the interests of the United States, but in what she believes to be her own careerist interests, while reacting like a pit bull when admittedly inappropriate remarks are made about her daughter -- who is old enough, smart enough and educated enough to campaign for her warmongering mom and to serve on the front lines of her mom's war.

Hillary would be more anti-war than Cindy Sheehan if her policies meant her daughter had to serve on the front lines of the occupation she wants my family members, and hundreds of thousands of family members like mine, to serve in.

[MikeMidCity]

We know Hillary is the Republican choice.

Better a woman who voted for the war then some one who never did.

The smaller the differnce between the candidates in November the better for the Republicans.

[waltontynerross]

This is hilarious. Hillary Clinton the ultimate hypocrite? There are political rules and then there are Clinton rules. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[JohnPone]

If it wasn't for the Republican Party being a collection of do nothing, self serving, hypocritical semi-facists I would never consider voting for HRC. But come Novemeber... sigh.

[shinybear]

Way to go Hil- you managed to stay in the headlines and TV news for another news cycle with this one.

NOW she doesn't have to pay for another day's advertising she can't afford!

Well yeah FoxNews is more friendly. I would consider Rupert Murdoch holding a fundraiser for you a friendly gesture too! Yay!
Yes, different language should have been used, instead of pimped out. Not a good look. There is a better way to express the sentiment that the Clinton campaign is very a politically driven family and it seems extreme to have Chelsea campaign and make calls but is off limits as far as negativity goes. Pimp was not appropriate. I dont think he should be fired though.

[mellene]

Now that's a pair for you--Hillary and Rupert. How disgusting. That man has silenced more independent media voices than I care to recount. He's out to ruin the WSJ now as he has other media he owns. Go Hill, with this smary man. You two deserve each other.
