Reply #11: I'm not so convinced [View All]

I'm pro-Hillary, and I'm quite aware of the press' hatred for the Clintons, but Olbermann is not onerous in his treatment of HRC. I've noticed a few pro-Obama statements, but he hasn't exactly turned on the Clintons. Most of it is that he tends to let Obama's faults slide: Hillary attacking Obama is news and outrage, but Obama attacking Hillary is worth maybe a chuckle.

Of course, most of the MSNBC commentariat IS strongly pro-Obama, but that's another story.

Dan Abrams sticks up for Hillary quite often, except when she says something that's wrong, when he criticizes her, as well. He has a running segment about the bad statements each of them make.

The press has had an interesting week. They do not appear to know what to do. They know it's time to put more heat on BHO, but their long hatred of HRC blinds them. If they push too hard, they will push the Democratic party to settle early, and deprive them of their rightful ad revenue windfall.

The heart vs. the bank account -- the eternal dilemma!

But I could be wrong.
