33. she's one of the most famous politicians in the world
the fact that she gets a lot of coverage is not an indication of favoritism, it's what you would expect.

The fact that she is called the candidate to beat is because of the horserace nature of political reporting. In fact, Hillary has huge leads in most polls. The press reports the campaign this way. It's not good, but it's not because they prefer Hillary.

Imagine asking the political press, Ok, press, so you think Hillary is going to win. What do you think of this? Is it a good thing? Do you like Hillary?

From their reporting, the answer is clearly no, they don't like her just like they didn't like Al Gore. And they don't think we should like her either.
