A mailman donated about $45,000 to her campaign . Roughly what he earns in an entire year . Further investigation shows that this runs deeper than they thought . One of her fund-raisers(can't remember the guys name. . . a Yahoo news story would've been helpful) also listed this mailman's address as his own .
Then there's the issue of Harold Ickes(spelling) .More trouble coming . Yet this story is not visible if included at all .
When will they ever learn . . . . . . when will they ever learn ?
Doesn't it seem logical that the media would normally pounce on a big story like this ? Yet they haven't . Hmmmmmm , why would that be ? It couldn't be media bias now , could it ?

Actually Yahoo DID cover the story. Problem is they buried it under these other stories and changed it into a charitable act by Clinton (who gave the money away not after she realized it was from a criminal but only AFTER SHE WAS CAUGHT WITH IT).

Fox news said something about Obama nailing her on a questionable champaign financing from 4 different questionable lobbyists. I think it's every Sunday? that Hannity exposes a democratic injustice and so far he's brought up quite a bit including Vince Foster and now this. He also brought up the deal with John Edwards who was seen giving comfort to the NO Katrina people while being a top investor in some investment firm that upped these peoples rates to outlandish amount and they couldn't pay so this investment firm has foreclosed on a lot of these houses that these people just managed to get fixed. We didn't see that in the news either. MoveOn is a democratic watchdog out there to attack Republicans and everything they find gets splashed in the headlines but these other stories stay quiet, why? I'm outraged and we need to do something about it!

If this would be a Republican candidate for office it would be front page news or the first item on the national news for days. The Clinton's for years have had many questionable funding sources, remember all the Chinese funding during the Clinton administration and Gore's attempt to say he was not aware of the illegality of fund raising with the Buddhist monks.

Oh how I WISH the media would treat all the candidates in a consistent manner. Some get kid-gloves and others raked over the coals. Media bias indeed. Sad that some just blindly believe that everything the media tells them the complete and accurate story...but that's why we have so many uniformed people here.

I want to see that story about Michael Duga, former Democrat Senator Max Cleland's chief of staff and John Edward's staffer's wild night. He went to a fundraiser for John Edwards at Martha's Vineyard (I smell Kennedy) and stole a car, used a lot of drugs and capped off the evening by breaking into a Coast Guard station.

Bush slips on a few words during his speech? Front page Yahoo! news. Hillary accepts tens of thousands of dollars in illegal donations? Page 1,263 in a search, AND they turn it to make Hillary look like the good guy. Go figure. Liberal Yahoo! sucks.

I did find the story but not on Yahoo. It is a Yahoo story, guess it hit too close to home.

Unfortunately a political sex scandal is a much bigger draw. The press isn't finished getting yardage out of that senator's restroom incident yet. When that dies down, they'll likely pickup on the lesser attention getting political contribution scandal.

I find it funny that the arrest in June of Larry Craig(R) is just getting the "big air"time right before the Clinton campaign fraud came to light and got swept under the rug, don't you?!

When in a leadership role, you must deal with tens of thousands of people. Obviously some are going to not be the best. Once the Clinton campaign found out about this, they resolved it quickly. The amount at play was less than .5% of what the Clinton campaign has raised so far. It was reported in the NYT and Washington Post evenly and fairly. Yahoo is not really the bastian of news in the U.S., and, probably should not be construed as such.
