Reply #3: I've never felt the MSM was ever "out to get" a particular candidate. [View All]

The big problem with them is that they are kind of like a litter of kittens when you toss a ball of yarn. They get all excited and, en masse, chase whatever story (or person) seems hot on a particular day; and since they have the same approximate attention span as kittens, as soon as you toss them another toy they run after that one. And what's worse, they suffer from really bad groupthink, so if CNN thinks something or somebody is important or interesting, MSNBC and CBS and all the rest of them will jump on the same bandwagon because they don't want to be left in the dust.

So maybe today they aren't ignoring Edwards; tomorrow they will be all over Hillary again; and then Obama's supporters will be miffed, at least until they do a story on him, and then Hillary's people will claim the MSM hates her, too.
