They were not interested in questioning what the candidates believed or said just interested in attacking Hillary and did she look flustered.
Obvious manipulation by the media.

But didnt you notice they didnt ask other candidates their platform, just questions attacking Hillary?

I am talking about the after debate interviews with the candidates and the media commentary.
2007-10-31 08:30:33 · update #2
The focus on celebrity, personality, poll numbers, and the "horse race" instead of on where the candidates stand on the issues does a grave disservice to our nation.
The mainstream media just SUCKS.

The answer to the question is yes.. the media does think we are all stupid. The debate however was a lot of attacks on Hillary and she probably was flustered (which I am glad, I couldn't vote for her if she was the only candidate running). The current trend in politics is to attack the front runner instead of expressing why one should vote for them. Sad really.

Good point... Although i focus on science i love debate: Yes the Media does believe you are stupid! And they will do anything to further the established reputation over you and America.
Factors to consider why they do what they do pertaining to the debate on TV are:
1. Sexism, Fear of a female president.
2. Personal relation to William Clinton.
3. She is a favorite therefor a target. ( go after the Big Dog!)
4. She knows what she's talking about and the Media is scared of the truth!
Personally I believe number 4, and 2 have significant relevance to the subject. After all who wants a smart female running the country, Certainly not all the rich white dudes! ; )- LOL Peace out!

After 19 minutes into debate, Kucinich said "Are we going to debate." This HiIlary bashing thing by the other other demorcratic candidates is not only stupid, it's moronic and pathetic. It is taking away airtime from the real isues at hand.

Chris Matthews is a hack. He is also a little weird, riffing on Fred Thompson's manly smell...
CHRIS MATTHEWS] Does [Fred Thompson] have sex appeal? I’m looking at this guy and I’m trying to find out the new order of things, and what works for women and what doesn’t.
Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man’s shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of — a little bit of cigar smoke? You know, whatever...
Can't they get anyone better than him to ask questions?
PS agree it's all about HIM
Why do they give him a show?

No, the media doesn't think you're all stupid. It /knows/ that most of you are stupid.

They exposed her for the two-faced flip flopper that she is. She dug her own hole by contradicting herself

Matthews is a disgrace to his profession. He thinks that he is the star of the show. What a loser!
