Hillary Clinton Says Watch "Saturday Night Live" To See Press Biases Toward Me

Attempting to reassure anxious donors, Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday outlined a road map she said she will follow to beat Barack Obama in the Ohio and Texas primaries March 4...

...Clinton blamed her woes in part on unfair press coverage but said she believed Obama had come under increased media scrutiny in recent days. She urged the group to watch the latest episode of "Saturday Night Live," which featured a skit mocking last Thursday's CNN debate as little more than a love fest for Obama.

"People are starting to say, 'Hey, you know, we've got two candidates. We've been a little more focused on one than the other in terms of asking hard questions. Let's start looking at both of them. The voters of this country deserve to have a real election,'" she said.

The media bias? As in giving her tons of free airtime for all the stupid things she says?

Please. We're not voting for you because we don't want you to be President, Mrs. Clinton. It's as simple as that

No one can argue that the Clinton's look at the world with an us against them mentality. They even relish in this fact. I am a realist I know the Republican base is bad for America and should be marginalized, but like Obama I think many Republicans are misguided. So many Republicans vote against their self interests especially their financial interest to vote Republican based on the wedge issues. For example social conservatives are fooling themselves by thinking the Republicans will overturn Roe v. Wade. Republicans could have overturned Roe v. Wade by now but they need it to keep one third of their base. Obama is trying to get Republicans to vote based on their financial self interests while Clinton only sees them as enemies.

Clinton uses her pity pot to get people to feel sorry for her...acco­rding to people who know her, this has been very effective in the past. Give it a rest, Shrillary!

Don't show have the right to prefer one candidate over another? What the hell has happened to free speech in this country? Is it only for Fuks Noise?

[mariannex1x]

It really is disgusting to see how the press has given Obama such a free ride. That SNL skit was right on the mark. I guarantee you, if Obama had debated Hillary after Super Tuesday, he would not have won all those contests. His refusal to debate in Wisconsin was tactical and worked to his advantage. The press have held Hillary to a different standard, and one of the reasons they haven't scrutinized Obama that much is that he doesn't have much of a record to scrutinize. It is no phenomenon that he
has been able to get so far on such little substance -- the press are gleefully paving the way

If the "liberal" media is so powerful: Why did Bush win the last 2 elections? Why did the Republicans control Congress for years until recently? Why do the Republicans hold the majority of the governorships?

The truth is that voters make up their own minds for the most part. The media has influence, but not that much especially with the Internet. Besides the few who don't use the Internet: the information comes from people person research or biased blog reading

[stoprollingover]

Even Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh couldn't convince their minions to go with Rudy or Mitt.

[Adrienne4Dean]

It's not the liberal media protecting Obama, silly. It's the Corporate Military-I­ndustrial-­Media Complex. They want Obama because he'll be a weaker candidate and even if he wins, he'll be out in four years. The irony is that they've done such a good job framing the Clintons as eeeevvviiilll, that even the actual liberal media (blogs + Air America Radio) are helping them.

Brilliant!

Reading these hate Hillary emails from Obama is costing us the election in the fall, because I know many, like myself, who would rather NOT vote, then vote for a man who "inspires" such hate. If you really believe in what this guy"says", then why so much hate. If he wins, I will sit this one out and unfortunately will have to suffer the consequences.

[WLA]

If that's the way you feel about it. Oh well. Take your ball and go home.

[winkla]

zstroud--A­GREED-ther­e is such dichotomy in this movement/c­ampaign--i­t proves exactly what i have suspected from the onset--he is disingenuous for leading people to believe his hype--his voting record on the war and free trade are with Hillary's--he wasn't a senator for the first vote which gives him the privilege to say whatever he wants--had he had the chance to cast that vote, what would he have done? i defer to his Illinois voting practices of voting PRESENT to avoid making a decision on one side or the other--that smells foul.

[RickO]

I think it's the voter-bias that counts.

[Svenson]

Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world" that the U.S. will change for the better.

[HumeSkeptic]

That's a bit of an exaggeration. But, Farrakhan is supporting the best candidate, that's for sure.

Did Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s supporters find his name offensive? Nope. How about John Fitzgerald Kennedy. No, not at all. How about Martin Luther King Jr. No his name is great. How about Barack Hussain Obama? Oh my God. Why would you use Hussain? Why do Obama supporters go apeshit when anyone says his name? Maybe Obama supporters are ashamed of something.

[ZHarris]

Just ashamed of the stupidity of people who want to focus on his middle name...

[soot]

Say it loud and say it proud, a name is nothing more than just that.

[osage]

People who try to paint themselves as being victimized rarely take a close, hard and honest look in a mirror to she how very much they are responsible for how they are perceived and treated. People perceive Mrs. Clinton in ways she does not perceive herself, but that does not mean that they are wrong or that she is being treated unfairly. Mrs. Clinton is much more responsible for how she is perceived by the media and by voters than anyone else. It's what she says and how she acts that determines how she is perceived and treated. She has just as much and just as little control of what the media says and does as Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain. At this point in the election process, how in hell is attacking the media going to be perceived by voters who are trying to decide if their party would be better served if they voted for her or Mr. Obama? America is full of real and imagined bias. Mrs. Clinton needs to stop feeding the very bias she is railing against.

[WLA]

Agreed. "Everybody is out to get me" is not doing her any favors. It's NOT very presidential.

[Adrienne4Dean]

Oh jeez, lets see if we can get nearly 8000 people to bitch about this one.

The War on Terror

The War on drugs.

Two nefarious and insidious programmes that in fact mean nothing yet;

Justify any US action in the affairs of another sovereign nation.

Justify the control/monitoring of it's own population.

[ZHarris]

You left out the war on poverty...

[LaFeminazi]

That's more ephemeral than nefarious.

[2008thankyou]

Well lets see, over the past couple of weeks we've see her cry after years of showing nothing but hardness.

She practically spewed honey the night of the last debate when talking about Obama. She has a hissy fit over flyers that state nothing but the truth. Then her last outburst on Sunday insulting everyone who has chosen to support Obama as ignorant and delusional to believe he is the candidate.

Then of course during that last outburst, she insulted every Christian Democrat out there. Yes there are Christian Democrats who believe in Jesus, nice move.

Now she's crying everyone is out to get me, just look at SNL.

Hillary, you are the exact reason a lot of sexist men don't think a woman could be president. You're acting like an unstable emotional mess.

[ldelp84227]

Thought the show was funny. It is comedy, and even though I am not republican Huckeby (spell) was funny also. Linda

[phreso]

Someone please clue Ms Clinton in SNL is a comedy show!
