Why Does CNN Keep Pushing Hillary As the Front Runner?

[From The Left]

The only one at CNN who reads the results of the last 10 primary and caucus state races since Super Tuesday is Jack Cafferty. All the rest: Leslie Blitzer, John King, Gloria Borger and Susan Malvauex, just keep pushing against the tide to make Hillary the front runner.

I swear, on the day when Barack Obama is sworn into office next January, CNN will have a segment titled "What Hillary Clinton can do to turn this race around."

1. Glad you noticed; I have, too, but some people insist I'm nuts. I feel better.

:crazy:

2. It isn't called the Clinton News Network for nothing. n/t

16. Ka-Ching!

[Thrill]

3. Obama is the underdog....Never count him out

[SoFlaJet]

4. I ONLY watch CNN

when MSNBC is showing Life Behind Bars or some shit like that and I want my fix on politics

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

10. The Lockup stuff has got to go...I don't get who watches this stuff. nt

[SoFlaJet]

11. not anybody who's ever spent a few nights IN jail

I can tell you that

[trueblue2007]

15. CNN call Hillary the front runner....BECAUSE SHE IS!!!

[Blarch]

19. she has less votes, delegates, and states won.

Even my dog knows who the front runner is.

[Johnny__Motown]

5. They always combined Super and Pledged Delegates to make it look like she always had a big lead

I guess they have not backed off from that distortion as of yet.


Just for the record, she never had a lead in pledged delegates, he won Iowa and never gave up that lead.

[Windy]

20. even with the supers now, he is still in the lead overall. Don't count HRC out though. Keep workin

obama people~

6. CNN=Clinton News Network

The Hillary Herd didn't notice and refuse to acknowledge, but Hillary has got more than her share of air time (not just negative) at CNN. I can remember when the race was close, entire newscasts without a mention of Obama's name, with 5 minutes devoted to Hillary.

Some things don't change.

When/if Hillary suspends her campaign (big if) they will spend a large amount of time speculating whether Hillary will accept the VP WHEN (not if) it is offered....that will keep them busy until day 2 or 3 or maybe 4 of the convention!

7. They're just aiming for balance.

I watch CNN most of the time and I haven't felt they're horribly biased or anything. They don't want to be accused of ganging up on anyone one candidate. Thus you probably see more of Huckabee on CNN than anywhere else as well.

17. As Long As the "Balance" Leads to President-elect Hillary

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. If you remember when the Debates started Hillary got more air time

than any of the other candidates, Dennis got squat, Dodd got squat, Biden got squat.

Hillary was given the most time out of any of the candidates to answer questions and face time except
for Wolfie.

That was documented

[Jane Austin]

9. Every MSNBC show, at one time or another

has run a segment (usually the first) on "How Hillary can turn this thing around."

[Yael]

12. The higher they are, the harder they fall

and CNN wants an exclusive on the footage?

[Arkana]

13. Let them--for God's sake, let them.

If she still has the "front-runner" mantle, then it's all the better for Obama--he gets the underdog role by default, a role which he thrives in.

(NOTE: CNN is delusional).

14. You must be watching a different CNN......

Bill Schneider updated polls showing Obama's huge leads and much more.

[Occam Bandage]

18. LOL. It reminds me of '05/'06, where Wolf finished every intro with,

"and how could this help the Republicans in the upcoming elections?"

[From The Left]

21. I Forgot About That

Leslie also pushed Monica back in 1998. Over and over and over. I detest him.

[Mike Nelson]

22. I don't get that impression.

Rather, I think they portray her as more like... the loser. I don't think the news networks like her very much.

[bigtree]

23. I was just watching. It was 'Clinton the loser' all the way

It's become hard to watch.
