The AP calls this guy a ‘media expert’.

‘Walter Shorenstein, a prominent San Francisco-based real estate developer, Democratic fundraiser and longtime supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton.’

He then jumps on the ‘the press isn’t being fair to Hillary’ bandwagon and decries the media coverage. Let’s just step back from this a moment and reflect. Talk about taking a page from the Right Wing’s playbook! For years the Right has cried crocodile tears about the press… and in doing so neutralized real analysis. Maybe Obama has gotten better coverage because he is the better candidate. While I agree that the press must be objective, it doesn’t mean that they are not allowed to report conclusions about how things are going. Or analyze what is a fair criticism and what is malarkey. The Clintons are trying to cower the press into a false objectivity that isn’t really objective. Being objective doesn’t mean keeping everything even. This is how the Right gets away with puting out absolutely ridiculous claims that get the same shake as the truth. Furthermore, objectivity doesn’t always mean absolute neutrality at all costs. What is true is true. Don’t give what is false an equal shake because you think you are being objective or neutral. Then the press stops doing its job and becomes what Glenn likes to refer to as stenographers. I would say it can be even worse than that. They elevate falsehoods to the same level as the truth thinking that is somehow being neutral. It isn’t… it is being wilfully blind and even stupid. Sometimes the King has no clothes… and the press should report that. In trying to be uber-fair, the press ends up not serving the public. With Freedom comes great responsibility.

From the transcript from CNN Situation room...

SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON (D-NY), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.

This was in a clip of Clinton broadcast on the show. I thought she went over the line there. She is going to break the party to try to win the nomination.

BLITZER: I wasn't surprised about this slam against Obama as much as the praise for John McCain at this point, saying he's got the experience...

BORGER: Yes, yes.

BLITZER: ...I've got the experience, Obama's got a speech.

KING: It's the same point of the ad 3:00 a.m. in the White House. She's trying to convince Democrats -- think about the general election, I'm a tougher candidate. Now, she's tried that from the beginning, too, and it hasn't worked. But that's her -- that's what she's trying at the last minute.

But, Wolf, consider what she just said there. She's essentially saying Barack Obama is a fraud -- he has a speech, I have a record. And that's taking it to a new degree.

And there are a lot of people -- what if she wins the nomination?

She needs the African-American vote to be a competitive Democratic nominee. That's why you hear a lot of people saying if she doesn't win the big states tomorrow, she need to get out, because they're worried this is getting more and more raw and more and more bitter and it's going to hurt the Democratic Party.
