Perhaps, Lou, we ought to build a BIG WALL around the "anti Hillary" forces, so that they cant steal the jobs and social resources (and ratings) of honest,hard working Hillary supporters like yourself?

Then, regardless of whether she literally puts both feet in her mouth simultaneously, there would only be pro Hillary news, which would be interesting to hear; "Look at how flexible she is Lou, Both feet at once!"
"sure, the Sniper fire thing was a complete fabrication, but it SHOULD have been true". "Don't Hold her mistakes on iraq, iran, lebanon, Paksitan and health care against her. Sure, those were the most important situations she was ever faced with and she COMPLETELY BLEW each and every one of them, but it's her vast list of devastatingly incompetent decisions that ensure that she WON'T make those mistakes again THAT"S why she is SO READY to lead the country.

As a recent defector from MSNBC I caught this "Media Bias" segement on Lou Dobbs last night. I am 100% behind the fact that the US media had been totally irresponsible. The good news is that the American voter throws a "slap" to them after each primary. Matthews and Olberman have lost me as a viewer forever- MSNBC has become the Fox news for the liberal lefties.

Thank you Lou Dobbs for the straight talk. If Obama had been attacked the way Clinton has he would of folded his tent a long time ago.

Lou Dobbs is not a straight talker. He is a complete idiot who lies just as much as the person's butt he kisses every day on his show. Surely you know I mean HRC. Any time he can applaud her he will. He is in same boat as FIX news and stupid joe on msnbc. Yuck!

Her problem is that the truth is anti-Clinton.
This campaign has gotten very ugly, but the ugliness stems from her false claims and attacks.

While some of her supporters are whining about all the viciousness, and saying it is like that of the attacks on the Clintons in the 90s, we note that she and Bill have joined forces with the man responsible for the most vicious of those attacks.
And he has changed neither his views nor his tactics,... so it must be that she is making herself acceptable to Scaife and seeking his vicious treatment of her opponent.

Lou should listen to Jack Cafferty's hit pieces on Clinton every single day.

Sickening bias at CNN, MSNBC, Daily Obama and here at the Obama Post.

Clinton punking the corporate media with the bowling challenge for April Fools was a brilliant performance.

The Obama trolls actually think the gop are going to hand over all their power to a lying, radical, liberal without a fight.

You are so dead wrong.

You don't have to be pro-Obama or anti-Clinton to realize that Hillary is just as big a liar as her husband. One only needs to look at her history.

please..Loudolf is a failed entrepeneur who harbors a lot of resentments. One of them is Obama. After Obama mentioned Dobbs in one sentence with Rush Limbaugh, his show became unbearable. Clinton is clinging on to endorsements of Limbaugh and Dobbs now, what a joke. She's traumatized from all the sniper fire.

I will have a lot more respect for Lou Dobb's view on this when he calls out Jack Cafferty on his own network, CNN, for his bias, and really nasty, hateful bias against Clinton. Cafferty has his lips planted so firmly on Obama's ass I'm surprised he's still able to breathe. He thinks Chelsea is not giving a very good answer to the questions about her father's blow job. He's lost all sense of decency as so many enthralled with Obama have. There truly is no decency and no shame left with you people - that kind of "hope and change" scares the crap out of me.

Obama is not entitled to the democratic nomination. Clinton, not only, has to contend with Obama but the media promoting this man. Matthews of MSNBC dislikes Clinton so much, he gave Mica of Morning Joe a tongue lashing because of a statement he didn't like. He should officially sign on with the O campaign. Obama has to earn the nomination, without forcing Clinton to fold. Politico is an arm of the Obama campaign also. Should the upcoming primaries be canceled? The media are wrong in trying to decide this race. It's unfair to the voters. The process is skewed. Let Washington decide. The good ole boys club is alive and well. Leahy is a prime example. Obama plays innocent. He wants the Senator to hand the nomination to him

I agree 100%,with Lou Dobbs, about the "visible bias" of the media toward Hillary. It' s no question about who is voting for whom. It's a question of fairness.If Obama would be treated by the media as Hillary is, I would stand up exactly as I do for Hillary.The media, is doing Obama's dirty job.Yes, CNN,MSNBC,they treate Hillary so unfairly,it makes me think that,no TV station and specially reporter has a right to use one other human being as a "punching bag".It's unfair and certain unprofessional.Not the media has to decide for the American people,who will be the next president. I think the people has a right to do so.The media, has to present the facts fairly on both sides, and the people to decide,not wise-wersa.Unfortunately, a very few people has the sense of fainess and the media is not one of them.

Dobbs is right-on! I never thought I'd have to watch Fox News, which I hate, to see ANY fair coverage of Clinton, but it has come to pass. If Obama had been covered properly, he would no longer be in this race. There are more stories circulating around the net, as Trinity and Wright did, that have yet to be picked up by the MSM. Some are much more damning than Wright.

I agree with you.

The BS A** Kissing and tippy toeing regarding Obama on MSM is despicable - just like they shielded BUSH before invading Iraq.

The MSM is doing a disservice to the American people by underreporting not so flattering facts about Obama to continue keeping the public in the dark.

It's a tragedy.

ALL I'm asking is for them to do their jobs.

PERIOD.

Lou Dobb uses his "news show" as an hour-long daily infomercial for why we should make HIM President. He's not going to support ANYone. Everytime I watch him I end up thinking he's intentionally trying to be a "spoiler" so that he can run sometime on a yet-to-be-conceived "major third-party" ticket. He does not want Obama to steal his (imagined) thunder.

That is exactly how I feel. It is easy to tell that Lou Dobbs has a huge ego and that most of what he says is a set up for why he should be president.

Maybe the disparity between the percentages of positive stories on Obama and Clinton (83% and 53%, respectively) is attributable not to media bias, but to a disaprity in the nature of their respective campaigns and messages.

For example, such a disparity would make sense if -- hypothetically, of course -- one campaign were involved in, say, repeated incidents of arguable race-baiting and the other was not; or if one campaign publicly announced its intention to launch a "kitchen sink" offensive against the other (and then followed through, right
