Why is the media picking on the Clintons?

Question

I believe 90% of the hype is created by the media. Why should Obama choose Hillary? Who really knows if she even wanted the vice presidency? It's the Republicans who are saying Democrats are angry and voting Republican. Isn't that obvious? McCain a Maverick? Please!

Answer 1

Because they both eat barnyard hay.  

Answer 2

Someone answered your question by stating that corporate media is conservative but as far as I can tell, the conservative media are the only ones asking why everyone has turned their back on the Clintons. I'm a republican and as I see it, the Democrats have thrown them to the wolves.  

Answer 3

Because they are liberal and powerful and after they used the clintons political power up, they threw the clintons under the bus and hail there new leader barack obama. and this is one hillary clinton democratic supporter that will vote for mccain/romney.

Answer 4

Here is a conspiracy theory for you die-hards: The DNC and the media plotted to defeat Hillary. They knew about the Edwards Affair over ONE YEAR ago, LA Times reporters were ordered by their bosses NOT to investigate the story or they would be terminated.

The DNC made sure Edwards stayed in the race to draw voters and delegates away from Hillary. Then Edwards endorses Obama and awards all delegates to him. Later the story breaks, after he is out of the race, but before Obama picked a running mate (of which Edwards was on the short list) and before the DNC Convention, perfect timing. Nobody pulling strings here.

Answer 5

It is time to stop voting for the lesser of two evils. There are more than two choices.

Answer 6

Hillary herself wasn't fully vetted for VP because she said she didn't want to go through the hassle if she wasn't a "serious" option....she wasn't and they didn't fully investigate.

yes, the media plays this up at all costs....it sells papers.  Their job is to sell advertisements.  Always has been and always will be, which is why I don't understand why we give "for profit" media outlets any more protections than a beer distiller.

Oh, and they're picking on the Clintons because of some of the ways the Clintons handled the white house press while in office......yes, the press holds grudges and sometimes they turn the pen into a sword.

Answer 7

CORPORATE MEDIA IS CONSERVATIVE

Answer 8

The Clintons are easy targets... sleazy, power-hungry, laughable at times.

Sorry... the Republicans are not doing the Hillary should have been VP hype - that's born out of the Democrats inability to unite behind Obama, and if the Republicans can pull in their votes, well... then... all's fair.

McCain has bucked the trends many times. Anyone who does that at all anymore is labeled a "maverick".

Answer 9

I can assure you that Hillary would have won this primary if John Edwards would have come clean sooner in the election process about his affair and dropped out. It's sad that Obama's people threw Hillary "under the bus" when they picked a boring Biden V.P. . She was the last best hope for the Democrats to win this election. By not choosing her for V.P. I can assure you that McCain is a lock in November.

Answer 10

The media is dominated by conservative CEO's and stockholders, who are only interested in achieving the highest revenues possible.  To foment what they believe is interesting hype, it is vital for these outlets to promote chaos, which is the reason for the supposed "tension" between Obama and Clinton.

Answer 11

Obama really needed Clinton and it will show on November 4, 2008!!

Answer 12

Whitewater, Monica, $20 million in debt, failing to get Bin Laden when it was easy, etc.

Answer 13

We have to ignore most of the news & just listen to what the people say themselves. The news creates drama. I would like to see her take care of the Universal Health Care. Let Billy have a Supreme Court Judge job but I trust Obama will do whatever is best....Cindy doesn't love children she profits from the sale of one of the most harmful drugs, alcohol. Please!

Answer 14

I guess they think the more they pick on the Clintons, the better the Obamas look.

Answer 15

Slow down on the popcorn before you choke,The Clinton's are stars in the sky !!!! think of it like a hollywood production and enjoy the media "eat you soilent green" like a good citizen...Go Hilly GO!!! like that ya from the old days..chow DINO
