Democratic debates slanted toward Obama and Clinton ?

Question

How come the other candidates are put on the back burner while Obama and Clinton get the limelight?
Are the networks reporting the debate, or creating debate?
They seem to be aiding and abetting some, while ignoring the others.
Is Wolfe Blitzer unbiased, or a real suck up to some?

Answer 1

People have indicated by their financial support and by their response to current polls that Hillary and Obama are the frontrunners in this campaign. They are the ones people most want to hear from. Granted, this is unfair. I think it assumes that everyone has their minds made up already.

Answer 2

Actually, you are 100% wrong. I have noticed that the media praises Hillary regardless of her preformance in the debate. Obama comes up as being the weak one, always. Edwards is talked about as well. The two front runners will always get the attention, so that is not anything new.

The media, be it Yahoo or television, is always boasting about Hillary. After the Nevada debate, I saw countless editorial and analysts talking ONLY about Hillary. Even when Obama nailed Hillary about her record, he got a negative review, and Edwards was given a positive review. Some can equally ask, why is it that Obama NEVER gets a favorable response from the media of any kind?

Answer 3

The media is emphasizing Clinton and Obama, but after watching the debate I feel Dennis Kucinich was the real winner. Before the debate, I hadn't even heard of him. Afterwards, I was awed by his remarks. I felt like he was the only one who truly spoke for the American people. Clinton and Obama flip their opinions to match what they think people want to hear. Kucinich's voting history backs the statements he makes. The media needs to report fairly.

Answer 4

Yes they are as was the case in the 1980 election Reagan vs. Carter. They tried to scare the hell out of people electing Reagan.
If Republicans choose McCain they can beat anyone. Without the 44% Hispanic vote, which Bush wan, it would be very doubtful

Answer 5

the debate on Thursday made this even more obvious than it previously was. CNN and Wolf Blitzer are attempting to sway this election in Clinton's favor, and doing a pretty good job at it.

Answer 6

I think that is only natural to slant toward the front runners. Take ESPN for example. Every other game they show is a Boston or NY Yankees game. Because they are the front runners. If you excluded Hillary and Obama from a debate, no one would show up.

Answer 7

They are the two minorities and it's a first. Many people are facinated with this. I'm hoping Hillary will win, but my mom's bet is on Obama. Her reasoning? Blacks got the vote before women, therefore, a black man will be president first. Frankly, I don't care as long as it's not a Republican. I've had enough of them.

Answer 8

Because the Liberal media has already declared a winner and it is Hillary. They aren't sure what to do with Obama because it is doubtful that Hillary will choose him as a running mate and they don't want to run off all the Obama supporters either. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and ABC all our left wing Liberal bias media has already chosen Hillary. It's a fact.

Answer 9

Of course, the liberal media, in this instance CNN, are pandering to her Majesty and continue not to ask any questions that should be asked. The last debate was a pep rally for Hillary. The other candidates should be screaming.

Answer 10

If there became a possiblity of working jointly Clinton has ruined it by applying attacking Obama too plenty. i think of the two applicants could choose a working mate in the previous the subsequent conventional.
