Hillary Joins the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
by Brent Budowsky | May 2, 2008 - 11:31am



Even a creative Hollywood producer couldn't have conjured up a film in which Bill and Hillary Clinton would pursue the tactics of personal destruction against a Democrat in full-throated alliance with the vast right-wing conspiracy!

Wonder why Clinton confidant Terry McAuliffe sings the praises of Fox News with the hilarious compliment that they are the most fair of the cable networks? Wonder why Hillary goes on Bill O'Reilly's show confident O'Reilly will further the demonization attack against Barack Obama? Three guesses why Hillary's great new friend and ally is none other than right-wing mogul Richard Mellon Scaife, a founding leader of the vast right-wing conspiracy against the Clintons?

Don't worry, be happy. In the unlikely event that Hillary is nominated, the odds of which are under 5 percent, you heard it here: The "vetted" Hillary will get the attacks from them about presidential pardons being handed out to unsavory characters pushed by millionaire campaign contributors, lobbied for by Hillary's brother at great profit.

Here today, gone tomorrow, when it suits their ends, the vast right-wing conspiracy will again resume their demonizing of the Clintons.

But don't worry, be happy, the vast right-wing conspiracy is in full-throated alliance with the one nightmare they both share, a two-term presidency of Barack Obama.

1. What did she say?
As usual, there are no excerpts, not even the popular cherrypicked half-quotes.

--p!

5. How about a comparative analysis?
What is the left's answer for FOX News?

It is not MSNBC's Pat Buchanan nor is it Morning Joe's Joe Scarsborough. It is also not CNN's Wolf Blitzer or Lou Dobbs.

If Obama has shown up at Fox 10 times this season and Hillary has had 13 appearances (I think that is what I've read), what other mainstream news broadcast can they go on to balance out the Fox appearance?

Maybe there is an audience of conservative Democrats and swing voting Independents that watch Fox News, but do they gain a better opinion of either candidate when it is filter through the ring wing spin machine?

I don't think they do. I also don't think it makes sense for them to not draw out the worse segments on Fox News and ask the question if it is news you can trust, why x, y, and z? Make them clean up their act before political expediency takes over.

That being said, there are some bias problems at CNN and MSNBC need to clean up. Why hasn't Pat Buchanan been censored for his racial content? Why won't CNN bring Lou Dobbs to heal for his rants against legal immigrants of Hispanic origins (he has been throwing the legals and illegals into the same pot)?

Where is the outrage over 24 hours worth of the same story? Surely there is other news that can fill 24 hours.
