CLINTON NEWS NETWORK RETURNS What a sham that performance was! Beginning several days before the debate, the Clinton forces fired a shot across debate moderator Wolf Blitzer’s bow through Matt Drudge: a warning that he better be fair and not pull “a Russert,” referring to NBC News’ Tim Russert, who had hosted the MSNBC debate and asked Hillary the drivers-licenses-for-illegals question that drove Hillary into despair. Never - EVER - has a campaign tried to intimidate the host and the questioners in advance. EVER!!! And in public no less! But Team Clinton is now in Full Panic Mode as they can see a scenario developing: they lose Iowa to Obama, who then surges into New Hampshire five days later where 44% of the voters are registered as Independents and are thus eligible to vote in the Democratic Primary. If Obama should win these first two contests then Hillary’s dream is toast. The Democrats would begin looking to Obama or to Edwards; Hillary would be deemed a ‘loser’ and no longer the heroine many see her as today. So CNN went into the tank at that debate for Hillary. They asked her easy questions and no tough follow-ups, especially about her 180 degree flip-flop reversal on drivers licenses for illegals. Within 16 days she went from wanting to give them to illegals to saying as President she would not allow it. And CNN never even asked her about this reversal!!! Two weeks ago Team Hillary got caught planting softball questions in her town hall audiences. Last week CNN planted them for her. For example, how tough is this one: “Senator Clinton, which do you like more: pearls or diamonds?” A really tough question to test a future president, eh? Then, on the panel afterwards to analyze the debate, James Carville appeared and of course praised Hillary’s performance. But no one bothered to mention that Carville is an advisor to Hillary’s campaign! Back in the 1990's, under the stewardship of Rick Kaplan - who now runs Katie Courics’ left-leaning and ratings-challenged CBS evening new show - CNN indeed became the Clinton News Network. The obvious bias there in fact opened the way for Fox News Channel to come into existence and find an audience of viewers who were aghast at CNN’s bias. Thus the ‘Fair and Balanced’ moniker. And to cap the week off, Team Clinton went back to DRUDGE and praised Wolf Blitzer’s performance! Can you imagine this? The gaul of these Clintonistas to try to intimidate and then praise a host of a debate? borderfirereport.net
