Could CNN possibly be any more biased?

[BlackVelvet04]

There commentators have done nothing but rag on Hillary even when it is completely uncalled for.

Saying that Hillary wouldn't look at Obama????? Please, that's ridiculous.

He seemed more presidential? He stammered and stuttered and repeated her answers.

[hiaasenrocks]

1. Who is saying those things?

Anchors are different than people who are there for commentary.

EDIT: I can see calling it bias if it was being said by anchors, but the pundits...nah.

[Renew Deal]

2. I haven't watched them that much

But Hillary had one good moment. Other than that, she had a bad night.

[Debi]

13. Here one good moment was thanks to John Edwards in December

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/

Several readers, and Obama's staff, heard an echo in Clinton's closing line, that the candidates on stage would be "fine."

Clinton Tonight:

You know, whatever happens, we're going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we'll be able to say the same thing about the American people. And that's what this election should be about.


Edwards the December 13 debate:

What's not at stake are any of us. All of us are going to be just fine no matter what happens in this election. But what's at stake is whether America is going to be fine.

3. As my husband would say, the fix is in.

[Colobo]

4. What fix? The American people are with Obama.

That's no fix. It's reality.

[BlackVelvet04]

6. He's gotten a pass with the media....

they have been nothing if not his cheerleaders.

[bigdarryl]

14. REALLY!!!!! ask Michell if they got a past

[rodeodance]

21. I am glad the media is FINALLY scrutinizing her. Kid gloves till now.

[blocker]

9. MMM... The truth hurts, deal with it

this is not about a partisan point of view, but dammit, Obama took it tonight! he's getting good at debates! Can't wait for Mccain!

[hiaasenrocks]

18. "The fix is in." Someone should write that down!

:yoiks:

[Marie26]

5. She wouldn't look at him?

I saw the exact opposite - Clinton always looked at Obama as he answered, but he would rarely look at her. Am I nuts?

[BlackVelvet04]

10. No, every clip I've seen she's looking at him......

unbelievable.

[emilyg]

26. You're right.

[Lint Head]

7. Commentators are still mentally in High School.

"Oh, he wouldn't look at me." "He stutters. What's up with that?" :dem:

[trueblue2007]

8. he's a moron that is why >-------> He stammered and stuttered and repeated her answers.

[NJSecularist]

11. ROFLMAO!

They aren't called the Clinton News Network for nothing. They've been biased in favor of Hillary all primary season.

[BlackVelvet04]

15. Bullshit...

they've all but kissed Obama's ass on national television and if you can't see that then you're blind.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. They were called the Clinton News Network

by the far right wing in the '90s. It wasn't true then, and it's not true now.

[rodeodance]

22. yet notice so many her on DU put that slam out all the time.

[Egnever]

30. Well they have shown a clinton bias this season up till now.

Just as MSNBC has shown an Obama bias for quite a while now. I haven't been able to watch CNN lately.

I am sure its been damn hard for you to watch MSNBC.

Theres been a bias on both of them. I don't really think its a bad thing as long as you recognize its there.

[Straight Shooter]

12. LOL, that's funny. A debate rages on DU that Obama wouldn't look at Hillary

... and as one person put it, Hillary looked at him like a cat staring down a songbird. (Perception is everything.)

[Johnny__Motown]

19. all of this is crap, it depends on how the camera switches and catches them in a moment

anyone debating this needs help, The CNN people too

[Straight Shooter]

23. Of course it's crap. It's why I don't watch televised broadcasts.

My TV is strictly for watching DVDs.

[rodeodance]

24. and the Xerox thingy--must have been 10 threads on the one.

[rodeodance]

17. misplaced post deleted

[rodeodance]

20. Did they talk about the Xerox? Many on DU seemed OBSESSED with that comment. I did not watch.

[Tresalisa]

25. I also thought the "wouldn't look at her/him" remarks were dumb!

Fercryinoutloud, they were side-by-side.

In a set up like this, the candidates can look at each other.

Edited to take out an extra word

[BenDavid]

27. you got donna I will quit the democratic party Brazile who has

never liked the clintons and in 2000 was the one that suggested that gore not use bill to campaign for him in florida, as bill had won florida 4 years earlier....oh she will begin her sentence with praise for hrc then about half way will turn negative and then flower obama with sweet sweet words.

Jeffery Toobin is a laywer that knows jack shit about politics.....and gloria who is a hack from the cbs face the nation and has been anti clinton since bill was president....

wolf blitzer is the biggest mediawhore there is. 3 hours a day monday through friday is nothing but pro obama and anti hillary.....

I will be honest here. I have found more balanced reporting from teh folks at fox news during the day...not at night now during the day that gives a pretty damn middle of the road reporting on hrc and obama....cnn especially these buttheads must have gotten the same memo that bill mahr got about 2 weeks ago that said it was okay for him to be pro obama and find any guest that will be as sexist as they can about hrc....the whole damn network is a clusterfuck if you ask me...

[KAZ]

29. Fine. Hope you choke on your FOX news. You are flaming..

.. out here, pal.

[Occam Bandage]

28. Doesn't agree with the campaign talking points = "biased against us."

It was stupid when the Repukes whined it, it's stupid now.
