Yes Riginslinger, I know that you believe that. But neither you nor Froma Harrop can back up that feeling with facts.

Can you point to one thing in the article that proves that anyone is saying any of those things because Obama's campaign is telling them to.

I happen to think that the media has been a lot easier on McCain than on Obama. It is also clear that the Media is buying Mark Penn's narrative about the horse race lock stock and Barrel.

They are still saying that she raised 35 million to Obama's 55 million even though she is not allowed to spend 20 million of it.

They are still saying that she won Ohio and Texas even though Obama won the delecates in Texas.


I think that the main reason for the difference in the coverage is that Obama is running a better campaign and to prove that, I will use your columnists own example.
How about this?

>>Clinton's misstatement about coming under fire in Bosnia — whether a memory lapse or a tall tale — was lamentable. But the stampede to portray her as a consummate liar, as opposed to everyone else on the campaign trail, was an extraordinary media pile-up.

No one made a big deal when Obama, eager to portray himself as an adopted Kennedy, said that his father had come to the United States thanks to Kennedy largesse. In fact, the clan had nothing to do with it. Obama also claimed to have played a big part in crafting the immigration legislation, which even his ally Dodd said was not so.<<

Have you followed these stories? The Clinton story was a big deal because she repeated the lies even after they were pointed out, because she defend the statements, after Sinbad contradicted her until she was proved wrong on tape and because her story was so patently silly. That the President sent his wife, his daughter, a comedian and a female singer because it was too dangerous for him to go himself, when he had actually gone there himself months before.

The Obama story had no legs because it was a much more understandable mistake and because it was corrected right away.

>>Writes Dobbs: "Obama spokesman Bill Burton acknowledged yesterday that the senator from Illinois had erred in crediting the Kennedy family with a role in his father's arrival in the United States. He said the Kennedy involvement in the Kenya student program apparently 'started 48 years ago, not 49 years ago as Obama has mistakenly suggested in the past.'" <<
