CNN OR DNN

CNN: I used to be fan of CNN in the early years, but over the years with the arrival of Fox News, one has come to see how much in the pocket of the Democratic Party CNN is at the moment. All the other reports even the New York Times see that Senator Hillary Clinton has a bad debate, CNN underplays the whole debate. What a pity for a great network.

2008 Update

Some articles that might be worth a read:

New York Times: Review the Democratic Debate, we are no longer in "Hillary Land" Obama and Edwards on the attack through out the debate. Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton, she might win the Democratic nomination but she wont win the General Election, while Obama might not win the nomination but could win the General Election. That is why American Politics is fun.


Washington Post
: Interesting view by the WP, they write the following on the political attacks on Clinton, " accusing her of being dishonest and of emboldening President Bush to declare war against Iran. " The article has lot more in Iran, the Elite Media after having been burned by the Iraq war don't have the stomach for a war with Iran. Hillary Clinton to her credit knows that Iran has to be dealt with but that does her no good in the Democratic Party. I have said nice things about Hillary, what a funny world.


Time
To the point and factual, " If she loses the nomination, tonight will go down in history as the first step to her defeat " Reagan had a bad debate in 1984 but still won big in November of 84. The Clinton Machine is still going, but it can be prevented from winning by Obama.


RCP Blog
: How the debate could effect the race and how the media will keep the story going as they don't want a coronation for Hillary Clinton.

Clinton another Dean ?

The Politico: Its seems Hillary Clinton did not have a good debate, that is not an end in itself, but if you play in to the critical view that you cant be trusted it does not help. Obama and Edwards are very close to Clinton in Iowa, they might be thinking this is the time to take her on and cause her major political damage, make her fight hard for Iowa. If Obama and Edwards can come first and second in Iowa then Clinton will have to win N.H. A Obama win in Iowa could see him win the Democratic Nomination in 2008.
