They could have headlined it "CLINTON SECURITY NEEDS WORK" and gotten some quotes from anti-Clinton people. " 'Security at the Clinton headquarters was dismal,' according to some Clinton critics."
But you know the lib media will slant anything to the left, even make a candidate who only flew into town a hero.

For those of you who don't think it was slanted, I'll bet you the writer will vote for Clinton.
That's my point; it's not unbiased reporting. I don't see any news stories on AP like "Rudy sure handled the rehashed security bill questions like a professional." Never.

I don't think it is left leaning, but I do think it is lame. The media is doing this all the time, regardless of the candidate. They can't just tell the story - they have to come up with some stupid narrative, as if the audience is too stupid to make a decision for themselves. I have no clue - Who did Clinton impress?? Probably, the writer and the same lame pundits on TV every week telling Americans what to think. I am a Democrat. I just think all Americans will fair much better when we can get our leaders to cut the crap and the media/news industry to do its job!!!!!

"Unbiased" does not mean it may not paint something in a favorable light. Now, this article was specifically about reaction to how Clinton herself handled the situation, and it appears people on the street and political experts thought she handled it well. But just because it says something nice about her does not mean it is slanted to paint such a picture. Checking out several well known websites that offer a rather right-wing take on the news (none of which I have heard charged with going easy on Clinton), I don't find any claims that she handled it poorly. So I see no evidence that there was an intentional slant put into the story.

how is Clinton's office security different than any other office?
this is the second Republican question about this, so I'm forced to assume Republicans have never been to any candidates office before?
I've never been to one that's got any kind of security... unless a candidate is coming there?
do Republicans ever use common sense? or just have a blind hatred for Hillary and don't care?
EDIT: your analysis shows your blindness.. you don't even understand what NEWS is clearly and what the whole point of news is....
you're comparing Rudy answering questions to how Hillary handled a hostage crisis... questions vs. hostage crisis?
of course it's going to be different... one is news... the other isn't...

That is so true. The media slants left along with public universities, and any other publicly funded thing that I can think of.
I wonder if these reporters know that they are just a little pawn in the game of total government control.

Anyone who reads the stats knows that the media slants left by about 90% to 10%.

Anything not from Fox News or right-wing radio is the "liberal media" for a con.
Could the reason for cons thinking there is an evil liberal behind everything, have something to do with their own biases?
By the way, I do remember the media making a big deal with Guiliani handling of 911. They made it sound as if NY would have fallen if it wasn't from him. He didn't really do anything.

"... gotten some quotes from anti-Clinton people "
This is related to the hostage situation because ... ?
If you want the hate and the slanted un-related to the NEWS, have you fix, go FOX .

Earlier today I viewed an interview with the former Pres on C-SPAN from 1994. He mentioned that liberal leaning reporters work hard to do objective reporting, while conservative reporters show their bias. I tend to agree with him. Don't believe me? Watch fox news(?).
