4017268, Why Hillary's "cry" is all about the MSM
Posted by usregimechange on Wed Jan-09-08 08:36 PM

I think Hillary's emotionality was a factor in her narrow win in NH but she had no control over the media's choice to bring this to the public over and over. The M$M is a second rate paparazzi.

People may choose to vote for Hillary but if some NH voters voted for her for this reason, it was non-rational media induced and superficial. Imagine if the M$M would have obsessed about Edwards question and answer from Steve Skvara. What, you haven't heard of him? Of course not the #$@!ing media played it once and never mentioned his name.

This is disturbing because the media is controlled by very few and has significant power when it covers one candidate 9 times more than the others. It is like a fat superdelegate, it is an undemocratic corporate aristocracy.
