Think Maybe CNN, FOX - support Hillary Clinton or McCain for Pres?
Ya think maybe cable news stations and magazines favor Hillary Clinton or John McCain for President?
If you had any doubt as to whom they support, all you need do is watch what they've been covering or talking about this weekend - before the Tuesday 'game changer' as Hillary calls it.
CNN has been showing the following stories:

You can add MSBC to the list - what with Dan Abrams running an hour long 'Rev. Wright Retrospective' on Friday.
I frankly feel the MSM will do whatever it takes to keep the race close in order to boost the ratings for their political shows - and thus keep their advertisers happy.
They did it it when Hillary seemed to be pulling away in January and February - and then abruptly switched focus when Obama swept Super Tuesday and seemed headed for the nomination in March and April.

And they are re-running the Dan Abrams Rev. Wright special again today. And Lou Dobbs was yelling at some black preacher about Rev. Wright this evening. They just won't leave it alone.

And...a replay of a Larry King show discussing Wright with the odious Lanny Davis and others.

Perhaps they figure that it will be easier to cover and will probably cost less as well. Still lots of drama without having to worry about politically correct behaviour.

Fox is really going to have to do a major shakeup on their network because they're losing viewers because of their obvious Republican talking points bias. In the end Rupert Murdoch cares about money and that'll determine how they cover the news.

And why the preference? Obama scares them right? I can even see it in their eyes sometimes.
The more they dont like him, the more excited i am for him to be President. He is gonna break the status quo and reform the mother of all special interests, the media.
