Which DJ controls the spin?

Why isn't the media reporting that
after claiming Obama plagiarized lines in a speech, Hillary used one of
her husbands and then closed the night with one of John Edwards'?

And she calls Barack Obama a Xerox for using lines from his campaign co-chair? HYPOCRITE.

Let's
be clear. Like what Josh posted on the front page, I don't think
there's anything wrong with using the lines. I normally would be glad
to hear any candidate, even HRC say these things. I just
think she was wrong to try and manufacture an issue against her
opponent.

I especially think it's wrong that CNN, MSNBC and
hordes of other news outlets are broadcasting the Xerox zinger without
the balance of bringing these points to light.

Clearly, for all
their complaining about the media's treatment of HRC, Clinton's camp is
the most favored in coverage. They quickly report any scandal on Obama
or McCain, but have yet to this year do any Clinton scandals.

Sure,
they covered the race baiting and I'm sure some Clinton fans can find
some other minor things, but with the myriad of meaty Clinton scandals
out there (earmarks to campaign contributors, how she was the only
first lady to ever have criminal charges brought against her, various
fundraising snafus, misrepresentation of her record) it'd be nice to
see some fair and balanced dirt-digging.
