In a surprising admission, Hillary Clinton says Fox News Channel has actually been fairer to her presidential campaign than liberal MSNBC.
Clinton stated in an interview that aired on station WJLA in Washington, D.C., that her staff had delivered to her “some independent study” suggesting that “in terms of the fairness of the coverage,” Fox has treated her campaign more fairly than MSNBC.
Clinton was responding to a question from politico.com’s John Harris about MSNBC’s David Shuster, who was suspended last week for saying that Hillary’s daughter Chelsea had been "pimped out" by the Clinton campaign by asking her to phone superdelegates on her mother's behalf.
Clinton said: “I really am troubled by this pattern of behavior and comments that you hear on MSNBC.”
Hillary has sent a letter to the president of NBC criticizing what she called a "troubling pattern of demeaning treatment" of her campaign by the network's cable arm.
Desperation hits.
You two are not fair or balanced.
Fox is shifting left. And it’s becoming meaningless tabloid TV.
Do you think the fact that Murdoch was holding fundraising dinners for her had anything to do with this?
LLS
Now that she's down, she needs friends.
Once it looks more like she's going to win, she'll have no further use for Fox.
What she meant was “even” Fox news. This is a left-handed compliment meaning “even those right wingnuts at Fox news treat me better than MSNBC” Boo Hoo. This is no compliment to FNC, it’s a straw man.
“In a surprising admission, Hillary Clinton says Fox News Channel has actually been fairer to her presidential campaign than liberal MSNBC”....
How long will this last?
Dear Bill and Hillary Clinton
“Thank you” for what you have done.
1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?
2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college.
3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of “it” is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex.
4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie “Wag the Dog” could be plausible after all.
5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.
6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.
7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment’s from the Whitewater “mess” and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other “Clinton” scandals.
8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, “gutting” much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on “vacations” carefully disguised as necessary trips.
9. Thank you, also, for “finding” millions of dollars (I really didn’t need it in the first place, and I can’t think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.
10. Now that you’ve left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society.(Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor of Arkansas)
11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I’m sure that Laura Bush didn’t like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you’ve received from your “friends.”
12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force One, savings means burning >> less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!
13. Please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her “tell-all” book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn’t pay!
14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called “political prisoners”. However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, “insisted” that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn’t Americans know the real truth? What a guy!! If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.
SINCERELY, A US Citizen
P.S. Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for “inventing” the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful, factual e-mail.
AND THE REST OF THE STORY: Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the “Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan,” which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.(Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?) If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? It’s common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York. Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents. The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton’s salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff — and, this is all perfectly legal! Who pays for this? WE DO. Now that she’s running for President, will you vote for her? How many People can you get this to?
WAKE UP AMERICA..its 2008
Fox News is fair. They’ll give just as much time to arguing on behalf of the victim as they will the victimizer and on behalf of the host as they will the parasite.
Granted, that’s more time for the victim and host than the rest of ‘em offer. I’m not sure of the premise that the parasite and victimizer should have anyone advocating for them though.
lets see,
the guy who owns FNC is a major hillary supporter and ...
FNC has pretty much jumped the shark over to the left.
I’ve had a tough time with Fox over the last year but after the way in which they snubbed Fred totally turned me against Fox.
At least when listening to CNN, I know where they stand. Therefore, I know what to expect.
She will stop at NOTHING to get the nomination.
Hell, faux has been going left for a while.Wonder if their ratings have dropped as I dont know because i quit watching some time back.
She’s probably hoping to get some of the anti-McInsane vote out of it. For myself, the thought of voting either is nauseating.
Fox IS shifting left - has been for awhile - probably something to do with Rupert Murdoch paying the bills, no?
Simply a way to stick her thumb in MSNBC’s eye - saying evil Fox is fairer than they are - nothing more......
A “What A Great Post” BUMP!
Well How Old Was Monica compare to How Old Was Chelsea?
huh???????????????????????
I always had a thing for Jewish women..... Monica was a little zoftig but cute!
