Full Version: Pro-Clinton Media Bias

The good old days of six months ago seemed to return last night, as the media declared Clinton the overwhelming victor of last night's primaries. Every media outlet i looked at last talked about "Clinton's Huge Victories" and didn't even mention Obama unless they were saying that he was throughly defeated. True there was one major Clinton victory, when she won California but even that wasn't unexpected. Two of the most perplexing media dubbed "upsets" were in Massachusetts and New York. Both were solid Clinton states going into Super Tuesday. Recent polls had Clinton up by anywhere between 20-30 points in these two states. Yet when she wins them, it is treated like the story of the century. Those were Clinton strongholds. Those were the Clinton strongholds. Its like saying George Bush winning Utah in 2004 was a major upset.

Also, strange is the lack of recognition of Obama's delegate victory, lack of recognition that he won the most number of states, and that he stole several states from Clinton that she had "in the bag". Not to mention the lower margin of victories than expected for Clinton and the larger margins than expected for Obama. Look at the states Clinton was supposed to win:

Alabama
Connecticut
Delaware
Minnesota
Missouri

Now look at the states obama was supposed to win but didn't.........Oh there aren't any. The truth is, they were expecting an overwhelming super tuesday for clinton and it ends in a tie. Clinton was supposed to win between 15-17 super tuesday states and she won 9. It wasn't even supposed to be close but when it was, CLINTON WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought you were watching MSNBC...

Last night it was pretty unanimous that it was a tie, and that they were all flabberghasted over the fact that the total gain in ddelegates was less than sixty.
