Remember how the media was news 24/7 on how bad Hillary was doing in New Hampshire?

Well this Saturday the Democratic primary is pretty much going to be decided (because of who takes the POC vote) and I can't seem to find anything.

Yes who takes South Carolina is going to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States and we all know who that's going to be.

So another meme blown all to hell about media bias in favor of Hillary Clinton. Now am I right or wrong on this?

But starting with the huge blowout win she will get in SC on Saturday, the press will not be able to ignore her obvious domination of the race.

Then a string of huge wins awaits on Super Tuesday in the south.

I don't think the other side will be able to draw flies after that LOL

The people who touted that silly meme obviously paid no attention to the last 30 years when media of all stripes were, and are, pushing innuendo and downright lies against HRC.

Name one other presidential candidate who was asked on national television "are you a big liar?" None of the men were ever asked that, strange, isn't it?

But it's almost over now.

CNN South Carolina Democratic town hall. 2.2 million viewers.

Fox News. 3.3 million.

But CNN crushed MSNBC! .944 million. (that's "not a million" if my kids are reading this! )

CNN was #1 in cable news during the network’s Democratic Town Hall in Columbia, South Carolina (8-10pm) last night among adults 25-54, according to Nielsen Fast National data. Moderated by Chris Cuomo, the live Town Hall with presidential candidates Sen. Bernie Sanders and Secretary Hillary Clinton averaged 653k among 25-54, Fox News followed with 648k and MSNBC lagged far behind with 243k. In total viewers, CNN had a +129% advantage over MSNBC (2.161m vs. MSNBC’s 944k); while Fox News averaged 3.262 million.

That's where the money is now!
