The Media and The Democratic Party Derailed Hillary's Camapign

I hear male, and... surprisingly...a lot of female journalists, say there has not been any favorable reporting for Obama or sexist statements about Hillary during the campaign. I cannot believe some of the things I have heard from people who were supposed to be "professionals."

I have been blogging about the gang over at MSNBC and CNN for months. Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, and David Shuster have been particularly venomous and have used their positions to promote Obama as the nominee. The recent interview of Obama was an example of Reporter going easy on Obama. Where was the tough question of which Tim Russert is so legendary after Obama finally denounced Wright? I saw no no evidence of it in the Meet The Press interview. There has not been any opposing view by any journalist on either channel during the campaign. One reporter in particular who tried to make the point that the media was "deciding" the election was Craig Crawford. He was summarily barred from appearing on CNN and MSNBC because he spoke in favorable terms about Hillary.

I switched to watching Fox several months ago and to my surprise, I agree with them about the Liberal Media...I never thought that was possible! I find that Fox has been the only network that has been fair to Hillary...tough, but fair. Lately I have watched less and less of MSNBC and even NBC. I watch CNN only when I believe that they will be non-biased, for example, Lou Dobbs. Once I hear the Obama chorus, I'm gone.

Due to my disgust with the Democratic Party and it refusal to show leadership regarding Florida and Michigan, I switched to Independent a day after the Indiana result when the media declared "it was over." It was hard, but I have not regretted my decision.
