Journalists from left, right and center admit The media hate Clinton
Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz had this to say the day before the primaries:

He may have been born seven months into Kennedy's presidency, but journalists have conferred the legacy on him anyway. That may be unfair to the other candidates, but as JFK famously said, "Life is unfair."



Politico's Roger Simon said that Obama
has won a lot of hearts in the press corps already.



Rick Lowry (conservative from National Review said,
"the press hates Hillary. There's real glee over the prospect of being done with the Clintons."

1. And why would that be? It certainly isn't because they haven't gotten a chance to get to know her.

4. The MSM LOVES McCain Because He Promises MORE WAR, and Their OWNERS LOVE WAR
because NOTHING is more profitable for a company like GE than WAR!!

3. Mobbing Behavior
In behavioral ecology, mobbing behavior is an anti predator behavior which occurs when individuals of certain communication media mob a politician by cooperatively attacking or harassing it, usually in order to protect their sponsors. A simple definition of mobbing is an assemblage of pundits around a potentially dangerous politician. This is most frequently seen in AM Radio species, though it is also known to occur in other media venues. While mobbing has evolved independently in many species, it only tends to be present in those whose meal tickets are about to expire.
