How did it get to the point that Fox news is Hillary's biggest cheerleader? They are so clearly in

[jezebel]

the tank for her it is sickening. Is it the enemy of my enemy is my friend, with Obama being the biggest enemy to Fox and the Republican's so therefore Clinton is now their friend?
I don't even know why I occasionally put them on (I guess it something about watching what the right wing is saying) but they are so gung ho on Clinton it is disgusting.

[YEM]

1. Murdoch held a fundraiser for her two years ago

It's called "Politics"

[TBF]

5. Most of the press is owned by Murdoch - it's surprising Obama even got a fighting chance.

[knixphan]

16. you ain't lyin'!

[Texas Hill Country]

2. and MSNBC is in the tank for Obama... yet fox has 8 times the viewers... hmmmmmmm

i think they hate her politics but respect her as a person.

they also hate obama's politics, but dont like him one bit.

[ellacott]

7. MSNBC is definately not in the tak for Obama

That's funny that you think that.

[DerekJ]

8. LOL LOL LOL "respect her as a person" SURREEE ..

Divide and conquer my friend.

[DJ13]

9. and MSNBC is in the tank for Obama...

Yeah, they're so "in the tank for Obama" I (an Obama supporter) cant watch them outside of Olbermann because they never shut up about Wright (or any other petty issue they can use against Obama).

[Window]

21. Ain't that the damned truth!

[Texas Hill Country]

30. what about matthews tingle up his leg and umbelievably sexist remarks re: hillary

its a friggin joke.

[SoCalDem]

15. drunk rednecks passed out on a couch probably occupy a wide swath of their viewership

that and tvs blaring away in Walmart's empty electronics' section :)

[Window]

20. hmmmmmmmm...

Fox has always loved and respected the Clintons.

:rofl:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

22. Yeah right, We'll see how much of that respect lasts if she is the nominee.

[AllentownJake]

24. I think

If she was the nominee they'd turn on her faster than you can say duck.

[featherman]

28. Fox DOES NOT have 8 times the viewers... silly stuff... here's a link to

recent ratings for cable news networks. Google is your friend.

[Texas Hill Country]

32. it was hyperbole... sorry... 2.3 times the viewers.

[TBF]

39. Of course Fox doesn't like Obama -

He will challenge their Republican and most likely win; while Hillary will be easily beat.

[ellacott]

3. It truly is disgusting

Many of her supporters are naive to the fact that if she becomes the nominee that Fox will turn on her in a minute.

[rodeodance]

4. **Obama RAN to FOX TWICE when he was in TROUBLE and needed to EXPLAIN himself.

[emilyg]

10. How soon they forget.

[Joe the Revelator]

11. Isn't Hillary on O'Rilley tonight?

Which will mark her third time, at least, on Fox.

[Lerkfish]

6. you're kiddin, right?

[nxylas]

12. There's some sort of quid pro quo involved

You can bet your bottom dollar that Hillary promised Murdoch something in exchange for his support - probably a further loosening of media regulation that would work in Rupe's favor.

[SoCalDem]

13. because they have all that glorious video tape from the Monica years

and the 8 year-long saga that was the Clinton Administration..and they want to replay it all..Obama's an unknown and he comes with all that "icky" stuff like being black..

Fox cannot really "go there" and they know it..:rofl:

of course they want Hillary...she's so much fun for them to bash..

[doc03]

14. "Fair and Balanced" "We Report You Decide" gee do I

have to explain everything to you people.:popcorn:

[DianaForRussFeingold]

37. ROFLOL

:spray: :rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

17. That isn't the half of it. The HRC boosters who've become "dittoheads" on this forum is truly an

amazing thing to watch unfold day after day, as they post breathless updates on what Rush & Sean are babbling about on any given day, especially (of course) the anti-Obama rants they routinely go on.

Hate Radio has become the HRC booster's here new best friend - they just love them some Limbaugh and Hannity.

[Lerkfish]

23. little does HRC realize, if she somehow managed to get the nomination, they'd turn on her like rabid

pirhannas on a hapless cow.

[Zueda]

18. Bill Clinton's deregulation. n/t

[Zueda]

19. Same reason Bush hasn't caught Bin Laden yet. n/t

[Skidmore]

25. Remember that Murdoch has been trying to get his claws on the WSJ....

Clinton is the Democratic candidate of choice for Wall Street. The high rollers know that the Republican brand is so seriously damaged that McCain can't carry it successfully. Follow the money. Obama's money comes from us mostly and in small amounts. Where have the big money donors been? Behind Clinton and trying to shake down the DNC.

Those who insist that Hillary is for the working class are being duped. I believe I heard a story on MSNBC a little while a go with Bill talking about how Hillary is trying to get the "Walmart Democrats." Who the hell are they? Walmart Democrats exist because of policies Bill signed in and the predatory marketing practices implemented by a company with a corporate board on which Hillary served and helped to grow.

Walmart Democrats????

[wrando]

26. news flash

that deal is done

bill from ct

[Skidmore]

27. Thanks for the update.

Really hadn't been tracking on it but was aware of it. As far as I'm concerned, Rupert Murdoch is a communications terrorist. The single most destructive person in the communications industry. Has done much to stifle, distort, and subvert the free press.

[nichomachus]

29. There is no right-winger Hillary won't grovel before

These are the people who tried to destroy her family, her career, her husband's presidency -- and she will gladly lick their boots for power.

[dailykoff]

31. They've all been in the tank for her all along.

Come on, why the hell do you think she's still in this thing? She lost on day one.

[TragedyandHope]

33. Anyone else notice that all the Rethug pundits are chuckling

and giggling their smarmy a$$es off when discussing the Democratic race lately?

This is part of their two-pronged strategy: 1) push Hillary and get their Rethug clones to go out and vote for her (to draw out the race and "bloody up" Obama) and 2) roll out GOP attack ads against Obama for McCain (and none targeting Hillary).

How anyone can not see what's going on is beyond me.

[bvar22]

34. Simple.

Fox targets the bigots, the ignorant, the ill informed, and conservatives.....

IOW, Hillary's base.

Makes perfect sense.
Hillary is no dummy.

[rateyes]

35. Can we judge her now for with whom she associates? nt

[housewolf]

36. It's fairly obvious...

... the RW WANTS Hillary to win the nomination. They can't wait to run against her, Bill and the 90's. Witness Rush Limbaugh's medling in the various primaries.

[Vinca]

38. If she's not the candidate, what value does Murdoch's secretive

"dossier" on Bill have? None.

[KAZ]

40. A man named David Allen.

[tekisui]

41. Fox, Limpballs, Hannity..They would all LOVE to have a Clinton to bash for more 4 years.

Their ratings would sore. They have made an art of it, and she is their cash cow. If the contest is McSame v. Clinton, they are in a win/win.

[LTR]

42. They're giving her enough rope to hang herself

If she were to be the nominee, they would absolutely slaughter her in the GE.
