Clinton has long complained that the media has treated her more roughly than Obama.
Oh yeah? Let’s do a time comparison to see how many hours the media dedicated to the Tuzla sniper fire story compared to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright story.
But the campaign began courting a media backlash as a central strategy after her surprisingly narrow win in Indiana and crushing loss in North Carolina, which together were characterized by the press as sealing the Democratic presidential nomination for Obama.
Actually, the media called the race about 2 months too late. I knew it was over on February 5th.
Campaign aides were particularly livid at Russert’s election night declaration on MSNBC that, “We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be, and no one is going to dispute it” – even before the network called Indiana for Clinton.
Hell, Russert could have, and should have, said that after the Potomac Primaries or after Wisconsin. Clinton has been mathematically eliminated under any realistic scenario since at least then.
