Your Librul Media

In all my years in journalism, I've never seen anything quite as disgusting as this.

And I know some of you will snicker, because it "only" hurts Hillary Clinton.

And you would be wrong about that.

The enemy isn't Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. It's the corporate media.

And if we let them get away with this, they will do even worse to whoever turns out to be our nominee. You can bet on that. What a piece of trashy, superfluous, truly MEAN excuse for journalism.

I left a voicemail for ABC News' Brian Ross, who is the head of their Investigative Unit. You can click here for his number.

I do suggest you share your opinion of his "work." You can call him, or you can send an email message here.

Is this the very same ABC that spiked the DC madam story? Didn't want to bother our little heads with the details of the politicians frequenting call girls?

It's pretty clear to me,sex in the media, is the hot ticket. Folks ,think beyond the powers that be. We are being side tracked for a lot of reasons...­what titillates our human baggage more than a person of major importance caught in the act of sensual exposure, especially if they haven't done it yet. Media loves these gargantuan errors, like a feeding frenzy of sharks. It's no longer important, people are dying without health care..No longer important seniors are poor, and need the little social security they get.,Soari­ng food prices. Freezing the Elders. No Gas for meals on wheels. If anything is immoral it is getting off what really matters in these harrowing times.

Ugh. I was completely stupefied when this hit, until I remembered that *of course* this is the first thing the chuckleheads in the MSM would've look for after the records were released. Clearly this irrelevant dirt on a 10 year old scandal is what voters need to be truly informed about our candidates!

I've got absolutely nothing nice to say at this point about the Clintons: her campaign is divisive, she's got the charisma of a fencepost, and Mark Penn can

When it is racism we bat our eyes. When its sexism we need a rallying cry. Give me a break. Hillary has been running a funky campaign and now she is getting a whiff of yher own smell.

You know, for once what i feel would be most impactful is for the media to listen to NO ONE's voicemails, letters, PR people, emails AT ALL and report the news as news. THAT would be most beneficial to us getting unbiased news which is way more of an important battle than a dumb story, such as this.

Disney? Because Cronkhite is still alive.

[markkraft]

So, the media can't report on uncomfortable facts now, I take it?!

This story isn't about Hillary. It's about Bill Clinton. About how revolting *he* was for cheating on his wife with another woman, while she was in the same house.

It may not be pretty, but it's one of those historical facts surrounding a major political scandal that the Clintons never revealed before. I think it's perfectly legitimate journalism, for this reason.

[SpencerCat]

markkraft, the story is ABSOLUTELY about Hillary. Did you read it? It's about the fact that she was in the White House - and possibly slept in the same bed with Bill (!!!) - the same day he played around with Monica.

Oh my gosh. You mean she was in the same building? And not out of town? Wow, this really changes everything. Thank you so much Brian Ross and your investigative news team. Now I know who to vote for.

[beyondnothing]

It doesn't matter if it was about Bill or Hillary, for one thing it's her picture plastered up there next to this piece of trash. As an ardent supporter of Obama, a former supporter of Sen Clinton, I am opposed to sexism. This is sexism in it's purest form. It's also sleazy, lazy journalism that's looking for the easiest story that will attract the most attention.

This says nothing about her character, her leadership abilities, or her policies. It's repulsive.

THE MEDIA IS BEING PAID BIG MONEY TO DEFEAT HILLARY CLINTON AND STOP NATIONAL HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!!!

INSURABCE COMPANY'S SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO SHOW HOW MUCH THEY ARE SPENDING TO GET THE MEDIA TO WIRTE STORYS!!!!!!

[markkraft]

But Hillary Clinton takes a lot of money from the same people.... and did a good enougn job in stopping national healthcare the first time around, really.

[shamanbart]

Ms. Madrak, you're absolutely right -- a truly disgusting display of faux journalism. Someone needs to teach Ross what a real story is. What a slimeball!

And I'm not even a Hillary supporter.­..

[Nutcase]

It's encouraging to see that ABC's investigative resources are focused on one of the most pressing issues that we face.

Je pense, donc je suis populiste.

[geg6]

Well, they've been sliming Obama for weeks on the Wright thing.

This?

At least it's truth, not lies or exaggerations or distortions. It seems pretty clear Hillary was in the House when Bill was getting some from his intern. I really don't care except for the fact that, once again, it just highlights for me why I don't want the Clintons in the White House again and that Hillary was your typical First Lady with no real power or influence with the president except that they have in their pillow talk. And somehow I have to guess their pillow talk wasn't all that substantial based on the state of their marriage.

[mommadona]

OK, I'm going one step further...­.

IT IS THE MALE ORIENTED CORPORATE MEDIA WHO JUST CAN'T LET ANYTHING WITH 'S E X' GO BY WITHOUT A PEEK.

There.

Dog bites man - not news.

Man screws dog - THAT is considered news....

Dog screws man - THAT is considered news - "Boy, am I glad I'M not THAT dude".

[DrPayne]

Yes, you are correct. We never see articles about sex in Cosmo,Shape, or any other female run and aimed magazines.

I think sex is pushed in the mainstream media across the board. We can agree on that, can we not?

[mommadona]

Yes.

female aimed, yes.

and shame on the female run, if this is their hook.

"It sells"

Bottom line.

[anywho]

I am outraged by the media all the time......­therefore I am a Liberal.

[bronceye]

Inject head of state, affairs of state liberally. It's all part of Hillary's claim to 35 yrs. of experience. She was so busy looking out for the nation that she didn't have time to take care of her husband. Pretty simple.

[joshquasimoto]

Turn on, tune in, drop out!

I do not support the LSD history of this phrase but if everbody stopped watching their sitcoms, a cheap media obsessed with celebrity and failure, a media which looks for 30 seconds of sound bytes, and short-sighted view of history then maybe we can have a decent conversationa and for once some real dscourse. Thank you to PBS, the history channel, Food network, the Discovery and National geographic channels for breaking the mold in this industry, but most importantly thank you to all of the lierate and scholarly literture and media that is produced with commitment and integrity.
