Supporters of Hillary complain that the media is sooo tough on her. |

I dont get it. I mean let's take a look at the cable news networks to begin with. You've got Fox News who shills for Republicans. They dont like dems and think we are all far left. On MSNBC, they argue that Chris Matthews shills against Hillary, but nobody really watches Hardball. A much bigger audience is for CNN. And CNN is a shill for Clinton. They complain about Huffington post shilling for Obama. Ummmm there are just as many Edwards people on Huffpo, and not to mention there are Clinton people on Huffington post. Im just confused where this mass anti-Clinton fervor is in the media.
Flame away.

1. Its akin to Bush supporters whining about Media bias.... |
|
while fox news was number one in the country, and all other news networks were giving him an admitted pass during the buildup to war.

3. If Hillary gets the nomination, how are her supporters going to handle the pressure? |
|
What you're seeing now is NOTHING compared to what will happen once the Rethugs start digging their claws in. Remember all that nastiness from the 90s? Whitewater, Travelgate, etc? Expect them to drag all those back out into the spotlight, nevermind that there was nothing really there to begin with. Plus, I'm sure they'll be snooping around for any new juicy dirt. If Hillary gets the nomination, expect the nastiest smear campaign that this nation has ever seen.
If her supporters can't handle what they're seeing now, there's no way they'll be able to handle what's to come.

9. I don't worry about the Republicans as much |
|
Everybody knows Republicans lie about Clintons and are obsessed with them. During the impeachment, Bill was 70% popular. The GOP trashed Hillary since 1992 and she's still at least even with their most popular candidates. One has to be pretty close minded not to have concluded that the GOP lost their credibility when they made all the false accusations.
Nobody but wingnuts and far lefties listens to right wing propaganda anymore.

4. Some of them attack any critics as sexist too |
|
Really doesn't help her cause much when they make personal attacks instead of addressing the substance of critical posts.

6. What is really ironic is that Hillary claims to have been "tested" and better able to withstand |
|
attacks.
But when the media do not bow down to her and praise her....the Hillary Herd is the first to whine, cry, scream, whimper.
So which is it? The Hillary Herd can take criticism or it can't?

7. Lets see all the investigative questions they ask Obama |
|
Tell us all the swiftboating, vile, hateful lousy lying they tell about Obama...hell if they didn't have Hillary to bash what would they do.
According to the way they bash HIllary over practically nothing with Obama not voting more than any other person this year. With him saying he wants to bomb Iran, if HIllary had done either one it would be 24/7 non stop on every single TV site, the newspapers and magazine would have it cover to cover. But since it is Obama they give him a pass. Republicans was Obama to be the candidate. They want to win in 2008 so they are doing every thing they can to try to get him as the candidate. They know they can tear him a new one 100 ways to Sunday.
