Just caught part of Goodmorning America this morning, and they had George Stephonopaulua on. Hillary was the big winner, and you know what the highlight was? When she rebutted John Edwards courageous and accurate statement that the war on terror is a bumper sticker and not a workable strategy. The one statement that just made me cringe. That she was in New York after the 911 attack (as were some many others) and that we are safer but not safe enough. No discussion at all about the merits of this statement, just that it was so courageous. And yes, courageous is the word he used. Out of the whole debate, that is what they chose to highlight.

1. Which is why I refused to watch the debate. |
|
The so-called MSM was going to spin it in her favor.
They really want her to win the nomination.

no doubt ...
It is STUNNING how for the last decade and a half, the MSM has played the willing arm of the republican party by tearing her apart at EVERY chance ... NOW, when the dem nomination is in play, the MSM plays her up in comparison to dems ...
Think they turn back on her once she gains the nomination ???

8. But they've had such fun the past 15 years! Besides, it's a cost-saver! |
|
They can re-run all of the clips and quotes they have on file showing her in the worst light possible!
In some way, I think the MSM is positively DROOLING over the prospect of Hillary being the nominee. Bill and Hill bring out the illogical, extreme hatred from the Cons like no one else, including Ted Kennedy! They'll be raking in record-breaking dollars from anti-Hillary groups airing "issue ads".

|

6. They've wanted Hillary to run since November 3rd, 2004. |
|
It's been a "2008 Horse Race" ever since. It's ridiculous.

9. the msm truly sucks. they fail at every turn. |
|
they are so eager to jump on an early bandwagon to display their all-knowingness and they are so quick to bow down to powerful bastards and backstab those who they dont fear. at no time do they truly do any investigative or objective reporting. in modern terms the msm has jumped the shark which is why most of us spend our efforts trying to assemble an image of reality from the internet.

Hell! Liz Claman on CNBC just snarked her by saying “Well, it’s still early” totally not pushing Hillary. Sometimes the MSM just gets it right. Not a Hillary fan here, BTW.

12. IIRC, M$M was pushing her immediately after the last Pres. election. |
|
I recall that the very next Sunday news shows talked more about Hillary in 08 than they did about the election a few days earlier.
My SO and I discussed it back then how the 'fix' was already in, since the 'political journalists' talked about no one else.

13. The lesson is that the Democratic and progressive BASE has to get out and vote in the primary |

So we can avoid having our candidate chosen for us by the M$M.
