Remember when Bill Clinton left office and there media stories everyday

about Hillary taking WH china and furniture, about leaving the WH trashed, and on and on. Everyone of those stories was subsequently disproved with little retractions from the MSM. The same thing is happening now to HC. When all of the truth comes out about who started what, where and when, will there be any media retractions? I doubt it. That is why I can only believe what I hear directly from the candidates. Not from their opponents...and this goes for all candidates.

1. you make a great point, and exactly right about the media and

the white house and missing china etc etc.....The msm is 70/30 negative in their hrc reporting and the opposite with obama and edwards receives about 60/40 postives...

3. They Are Toning it Down Until After the Primaries

The swift-boating of Hillary Clinton will begin in earnest after the primaries. It will be far, far beyond what they did to John Kerry. The Mighty Slime Machine has had 15 years to prepare for this.
They have made an entire movie just to to attack Clinton, and you know that all of the wingnut TV networks will be airing it (for free, of course).
The pundits and "news" casters will make sure that the lie-du-jour is the top story of the day and that Hillary is the only issue in the election, not the Repigs, not Bush**, and certainly not the economy or the war.

They would do the same to Obama or anyone else that we nominate, but they have quite a head start on Hillary.

4. The White House "vandalism" story was a flat-out lie the press ate with a spoon. nt

5. The press didn't just eat it. They put icing and a cherry on the top and fed it to

the sheeple.
