Five reasons Hillary should be worried

[JaJae]

First of all the media loves Hillary just as much as Obama. The media had been kissing her backside for quite some time and even threw numerous debates for her. To insinuate that she has gotten an unfair ride from the media is a complete and total joke. If she doesn't want bad press she needs to stop losing momentum, stop engaging in such polarizing behaviors and put her divisive husband on a lease. She brought it all on herself and handles the situations horribly and like a crooked politician. Obama on the other hand has run a very clean campaign and hasn't engaged in many activities the media can harp on.

And the media did report on Rezko, just as much as the Walmart line. I really have no idea where in the world you got the impression it was ignored. It was all over the news.

What walmart line? She served on the board, there's no story there, unless they want to investigate how evil walmart is?

Rezko as the scumbag connected to Obama, that's been a huge story, and they never even got to the bottom of it...there is so much room for reporters to investigate

The media loves Hillary? You have got to be kidding me

This is the quickest article I can find, but conservative pundits...even they have been saying how the media hates Hillary, have since 1992:

Dealing with an antagonistic media
Hillary and her inner circle come by their loathing of the media honestly, I suppose. After all, she has spent much of her career waiting for journalistic shoes to drop. But that is no reason to have adopted a distant, hermetically-sealed media strategy for the campaign. It was counterproductively control-freakish. She knew she was going to be treated poorly by the national media – and in many ways she has been – but the answer was not to make that a self-fulfilling prophesy. As others have said many times, she can be utterly charming and convincing in small groups. Why didn’t she at least try a charm offensive at some point?

Let's see if she'll do it. Obama had nothing to hide. Can Hillary say the same?

that was the first thing I thought. How did a career public service person have 5 mil laying around for their campaign? Didn't she write a book a couple of years ago

5 mil ain't shit. Bill made over 1o mil last year in speeches. I think she got a 20 million advance on her memoirs. Bill wrote memoirs. She does paid speaking as well. The may have as much as 5o mil liquid according to a report I read on finance.yahoo.com a while back. Obama is the poorest candidate, with around 1.1 million in the bank, certainly a lot from books and paid appearences. Romney was the richest, with around a quarter billion.

Clinton raised more than $6 million on the web in 24 hours -- campaign manager Solis Doyle and all staff being paid again.

Campaign chair Terry McAuliffe plans 4pm ET conference call to tout the turnaround.

Yes, but I think they get more miles out of a negative Clinton story than they do Obama. So the bias has some truth to it, and so does the Clinton reputation. In that way it is not unfair.

If you want to watch real media bias then watch how the love fest with John McCain turns on a dime as soon as he is the uncontested front runner Republican. Won't be long now. The only problem will be telling conservatives how liberal he is while telling the left what a Right-Wing Neocon Nazi he is in the same breath. But they will do it anyway!

Watch!

Watch!

He's not a "conservative" though.. he's just playing one for the nomination. The reason I don't like him is because I can't respect someone who changes every single one of their core beliefs solely for a shot at the nomination when it's obvious he doesn't really feel that way by his decades long history
