A night after CNN host Rick Sanchez decided to try to create a scandal over John McCain's failure to rebuke a supporter who referred to Hillary Clinton as a bitch, Sanchez on Wednesday declared McCain should have distanced himself from the remark and, since he didn't, the incident was newsworthy; McCain castigated CNN for its biased reporting and CNN's own media critic, Howard Kurtz agreed his campaign has a point. That little incident was pretty badly hyped by Rick Sanchez.
ABC got into the hype too as anchor Charles Gibson introduced a story on another bit of controversy in the presidential race which involves the reaction of Senator John McCain when a lady at a town meeting asked him a question that contained a derogatory reference to Hillary Clinton.
On CNN's The Situation Room, Brian Todd informed viewers how on Tuesday evening CNN anchor Rick Sanchez takes about six minutes at the very top of his prime time show, Out in the Open, raising questions about why Senator McCain didn't immediately chastise the woman for insulting Mrs. Clinton like that. Later, on Out in the Open, Sanchez whined about how in criticizing CNN's news judgment, McCain is shooting the messenger, blaming me personally and CNN for his present plight. Sanchez laid bare his agenda as he excoriated McCain for not acting as Sanchez wanted: His staff has put out several statements today. None of them offers an apology to women in general or to Hillary Clinton specifically.
Not surprisingly, MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann devoted a segment to the Monday exchange, at a South Carolina restaurant, between a woman in the audience -- who asked how do we beat the bitch? -- and McCain, an incident being pushed by liberal activists.

“Kyle’s Mom is a big fat Bitch” “A big fat bitch” “She’s a bg fat bitch”
The friggin truth HURTS!
Yah, old lady says “bitch” and it’s got CNN coverage a scandal for McCain by Sanchez. Sanchez did a DUI and put a guy in a Coma outside of Joe Robb stadium here in S. Florida. Think the victim finally died.
THis is an attempt to create a story.. there is nothing here.. some woman questioning referred to Hillary as a bitch, the audience laughed some other guy said something about his ex wife.. more laughter.. McCain responded by saying he respected Mrs Clinton...
Talk about trying to create a scandal out of nothing...
how do we beat the bitch?
That wouldn’t be Dennis Kuchinich, would it? ;’}
Yeah I saw the video. Poor ole Hillary, even the girls hate her.
another pissant on CNN
“Sow” would have been better, but a man whose Mom is in her 90’s knows better than to correct ladies.
Maybe she was a Hillary plant???
Wonder why the media assumed the reference was to Hillary....
Didn’t Newt’s Mom say something to the same effect to Connie Chung?.............
Very interesting. I never knew Rick Sanchez killed somebody. I did a quick search and it’s true. Why is this guy on the air?

I saw this idiot last night. To say that he was trying his best to manufacture a story would be an understatement.
Bingo. The media creates scandals out of nothing - against republicans. Goodness, could anything have been crazier than the made up frenzy over the “subliminal” democ “rats” commercial? You actually had news reports comparing the nonexistent subliminal message to Nazi propoganda aimed at exterminating Jews!
For once I’ll have to come down on CNN’s side. The lady in McCain’s audience was clearly derogatory to dogs.
CNN is offend at anyone that does not praise The Bitch. It’s not called the Clinton News Network for nothing.
