Hillary Campain staff endorses Fox News for being fair

by GeorgeP922, Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 07:22:16 PM EST

Its like watching a car crash, then seeing the survivors get out of the car only to be run over by a semi truck.

Doesn't the HRC campaign realize she is antagonizing Democrats and at the same time asking for her nomination?

IF they are willing to pander to Fox now, I can't imagine the love fest we can expect to see.

Someone tell me which of Clinton's employees is attacking Fox?

So Fox is fair and balanced when helping Hillary, but when they smear obama or prop up McCain that doesn't count?

Im guessing there will be someone else praising the pittsburgh review tribune or the Washington Times?

JRE wouldn't even talk with Fox.  I don't think Hillary will be getting an endorsement from the Edwards any time soon.

Re: Hillary Campain staff endorses Fox (2.00 / 2)

Can you blame the Clinton campaign???

Is Keith O giving her a fair shake?

Is Chris Matthews giving her unbias coverage?

Is Donna Brazile giving her balance reporting?

Name me one MSM who is NOT bias for Obama ?

Its hard enough being outspent 4 to 1.

But when the airwaves are filled with media men & women practicing Political Affirmative Action- How in the world can you beat that.

For media employees who are being paid $300,000 to $750,000 a year to be fair & balance. But to turnaround & show blatant bias.

Sorry but Clinton should get & find any coverage she can get.

Come November, the GOP will not allow MSNBC & CNN to manipulate the airwaves. That's for sure

Uhh,  hmmm.

With that thinking she should consider speaking at the RNC convention.

Fox news is a propoganda arm of the RNC, to think ANYTHING less than that makes you either insane or a closet republican.

This is the Fox news you are giving a pass to right now!:

THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DEFENDING?

As of Sunday, Obama had spent $3.6 million in the state to Clinton's $1.3 million, according to data compiled by TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group. 3-1 is bad enough, we will see the toltals in a day or so.

More than "fair," I'd say dramatically biased in Hillary's favor right now are:

Stephanopoulous, Gibson, Scarborough, Dobbs, Buchanan, and oftentimes, Tweety (though he's all over the place).

Wake up!

You would rather have right wing propoganda as long as it doesn't hurt Hillary's feelings?

Like I said, Murdoch is laughing his ass off right now.

God, you got to give the Republicans some credit, they beat us everytime.

Its easy, Democrats lose with Hillary's pandering to the right wing.

No he said it had REPUBLICAN overtones, IE FEAR PROPOGANDA.

Every democrat rejected that add as the most silliest ad ever.

Its an embarrassment to the national conversation.

If you believe in Republican framing of issues then I suggest you work for them because that ad is right up their ally.

I could give you the racial slant on it but whats the point, there is not one Dem strategist that didn't see that ad as anything more than a failure.

The ad also cost her superdelegates.

If you are proud of that ad then I think you will be delighted with the upcoming ones from McCain.

Whether the commercial was good enough is debatable. It work because Clinton won in Texas, Ohio, RI and IMO, it achieved it's objective; therefore the commercial was good.

In reference to whether the commercial had racial undertones...I don't see it; Matthews is out there, IMO.

The problem with stuff like this is it helps legitimize them. Then when the smears come it sounds like you're only reacting to the smears.

Frankly, Fox are the worst but I'm pretty unimpressed with most of the rest at this point too.

Are you saying she doesn't have the right to support Obama?

As far as I have heard she has still not condemned the NC RNC ad, even though the national RNC and McCain have condemned it.

Why is she waiting?

Why are Hillary supporters even for a moment giving Fox a pass, that to me is a disturbing trend.

I encourage you to watch the videos above, and if it makes you mad as it should EVERY AMERICAN then look at the whole collection.

Hillary's not stupid... She has to know that Fox is using her... I guess she thinks that she can use them and make them "careful what they wish for"...

But, in the meantime, legitimizing this "news" agency is very damaging for the Democratic Party and progressive principles as a whole.

There was a good reason (none / 0)

for the FOX blackout. They hate Democrats, and just about everybody knows it. I have had FOX blocked on my remote for a long time. But the sad truth is that they hate both of our candidates equally, and have been giving more even-handed coverage during this primary. That's not a compliment on FOX, it's a sad commentary on MSNBC, and CNN to a lesser degree. If we are going to talk about boycotting a station because they are being grossly unfair to a Democratic candidate, which is what Hillary Clinton is the last time I looked, then MSNBC would be at the top of that list in a true progressive world for their blatant sexist commentary. To prop up MSNBC because they are obviously pro-Obama, while boycotting FOX because they dislike them both is beyond hypocritical.

Lets see a 30 second ad made by republicans and you say its TRUE. The goal is to destroy the democrats CHANCES OF WINNING IN NOVEMBER.

If you think Black America hates White America you need to stop voting Democrat RIGHT NOW...

If you think Pastor Wright hates America you need to stop voting Democrat... At least he cared enough to become a Marine and graduate at the top of his class to be on the staff treating the president.  At least he decided to lead in his community, and I am sure thats a hell of a lot more your ever gonna do in your life for this country.

GET IT YET???
