Hey, cable honchos. Before lambasting Hillary for “failing to fact check,” you might consider dabbling in some fact checking yourselves.
I’m referring, of course, to the media’s dead hospital patient mock-fest and, more broadly, to the “Gore-ing” of Hillary Clinton.
And that brings me to my latest limerick:
Biased Journalists And Bloggers, Heal Thyselves
By Madeleine Begun Kane
In cov’rage quite sloppy at best,
The press attacked Hill’ry with zest,
Disputing her facts.
But ’twas they who were lax.
Cuz if Clinton says east they say west.

Clinton should be criticized on substance. I was happy to see this story corrected - but typically, the corrections never get as much press as the smears. I wonder how long right-wingers will continue to flog the original smear?

I am having a hard time understanding how people can look at Mrs. Clinton and see a person who is a victim. She was upset earlier in the campaign when people didn’t give her as much coverage as she wanted. Now, when people are examining her claims of experience, visits to Bosnia “under sniper fire”, etc., her supporters say that she is being unfairly attacked.
I’d like to remind people that this woman started with and still has a large network of campaign workers, etc., to draw upon. She is able to call in (or try to) favors due to her husband’s terms as a U.S. President. Obama is succeeding withOUT these advantages.
And how many of you will seriously contend that a black male president is somehow less of a surprise to the psyche of the American people than a white female president?

First off, Clinton lies every day. So I forgive the media for not bothering ot check.
Secondly, if Hillary really gave a rat’s ass about the girl, she would have known the name of the hospital. Maybe even talked to people involved.
So screw Hillary. Instant Karma is a bitch.
When did she ever fact check. Obama may have been a drug dealing muslim, as far as I know.

Yes. Sexism is alive and well in 2008.

Ken, the family member didn’t want to give out the name of the hospital.
That’s really a pretty hateful post.
