WASHINGTON (CNN) – A spokesman for Hillary Clinton lashed out at the media Monday for what he described as a double standard in the way the press covers the two Democratic White House hopefuls.

On a conference call with reporters Monday afternoon, Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson maintained Barack Obama is running a negative campaign, and said the press largely praises him for doing so.

“I think it is true that every time the Obama campaign in this campaign has attacked Sen. Clinton in the worst kind of personal ways, attacked her veracity, attacked her credibility, said that she would say or do anything to get elected, the press has largely applauded him," Wolfson said.

Wolfson's comments were prompted by a reporter's question over what seemed to be a change of tone for Clinton over the weekend, when she sharply criticized Obama in a press conference for distributing literature that she said misrepresented her position on NAFTA.

"Shame on you, Barack Obama," a visibly angry Clinton said Saturday. "Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove's playbook. This is wrong, and every Democrat should be outraged."

Wolfson denied the campaign was going negative, and faulted the press for not distinguishing between the contrasts Clinton is drawing and the personal attacks the the Illinois senator is launching.

"When we have attempted to make contrasts with Sen. Obama, we have been criticized for it," he said. "That is a fact of life that we labor under. I reject the notion that Sen. Clinton has been engaged in this sort of seriatim attacks on Sen. Obama. I think Sen. Obama's entire campaign against Sen. Clinton is negative.

"I think he has run against her as the status quo, he has essentially called her divisive, he has called her untruthful, he has questioned her credibility, he has said she will do and say anything to get elected," Wolfson also said. " If that's not negative, I don't know what negative is."

Negative… WOW!!! What I see is Billary being negative and Obama defending themselves and only then pointing out what the Clintonites are doing. Obama is clearly trying to unite the party, in fact he's trying to unite people far beyond the party. Hill just tries to polarize everyone more and more. Tell you what, Obama as the nominee will win this election, regardless of what third parties arise. Hill as nominee will keep the Republicans in office. I'll vote third party over Billary Clint, and I bet there are many others as well.

Dave in Richmond, VA   February 25th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

I don't get it. Is he sunshine and angelic choirs, false hope and empty promises? Or is he personal attacks and gutter politics. Seems to me you can't have it both ways.
Supported NAFTA – check
Won't release records – check
accepted most lobbying money of any candidate – check
being sued for making promises she never intended to fulfill in return for campaign funds and support(Paul v. Clinton) – check
Slams Obama for a 529 in his favor while pretending she has no control over one her FRIENDS formed in her favor – check

She has lost perspective. Perhaps she'll be ready after a bit more seasoning as a Senator.

vic nashville,Tn   February 25th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

Obama is getting free ride from CNN,NBC, FOX, and CBS ( because these medias need news but not the facts)
Now she is back
Hillary 08

LL   February 25th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

The reason Obama is getting such good press coverage is because he is running an incredible campaign!!! He was twenty-plus points down in the national polls when this started and now look where he is. And don't say it is because of CNN and others in the press. The analysts are giving their opinions and their opinions seem to be in line with the voters and the momentum…Obama's campaign has taken a vastly different approach of how to organize and raise money and it has worked. And yes, the media is reporting that and analysts who have two eyes and rational thought have acknowledged his success in the media. He has not gone negative and has attacked Clinton only when attacked. Look, just because Clinton (who is qualified to be President) has run a historically bad campaign and people are reporting on it as they should be does not mean their is a bias…I did not hear complaints from Clinton supporters when she was up in the polls and was seen as the "inevitable" Democratic nominee. Give credit where credit is due. Obama has outplayed Clinton in every which way and that is why he is winning and that is what is being reported by the media. Stop crying just because Hillary is about to be upset like the Russians were upset by a young-upstart group of Americans in hockey in the 1980 Olympics. Hillary Camp…where is your pride?….where's your dignity?

bill in houston   February 25th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

one difference between Obamas attacks and Billary';s

Obamas are TRUE

Alec   February 25th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

… Right, because its not the message that's failed, its the messenger. The HRC Campaign sounds increasingly desperate by the day now – almost schizophrenic in its messages.

Franky   February 25th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

You know, I think the Hillary campaign is reading my e-mails!!!!! I'm starting to get superstitious. Hillary a bit of advice for you…………..don't make me go over there and charge you! I don't mind people taking some of my ideas but if I see that it can help you, I'm afraid I'm going to charge. And plus, you think it's easy? It's not easy sweetheart, it's not easy………..Good luck!

Grace   February 25th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

Its funny and I just dont get it. I think Hillary think we Americans are stupid. I started supporting her and sudenly she got very negative, lying and playing nasty tricks. So I as a decent American decide not to support someone who has been nothing but drama driven in the last month. She seems very defensive is really scary. Hillary just dont act presidential. She acts like we Americans owe the clintons 4 more years. I dont think so Hillarry!!! I read where you said that NAFTA was one of Bill Sucess story and you did champion NAFTA. Now she is saying that maybe it was not the best idea after all. The point is she did support NAFTA. NAFTA is responsible for many job lost in Ohio over 50,OOO jobs have closed and moved overseas. I have many relatives in Ohio and because of NAFTA they lost their jobs. Tomarrow hillary will try to say that she thought at first NAFTA was good but it has been proven otherwise. The same with the Iraq war she voted for it and then she said that maybe it was not a great idea. Again her campaing is correct when she says anything to get elected.

mary   February 25th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

Give him your vote but then don't complain when he doesn"t deliver. You will get what you asked for and the rest of us will have to suffer thru it as we did when the religious right gave us St. George.

Pfunk   February 25th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

This is hilarious, she's been using clean tactics?!? pfft I may not have attended Yale, Harvard, Princeton, or even Brown but I certainly wasn't born yesterday. She's attacked Obama over "plagiarism", supporting the Patriot Act (which she supported twice), she's maintained the idea that he is somehow muslim which has instilled a sense of further alienation towards the islamic community in America, although there is a difference between being muslim and being a terrorist, which sharia law doesn't even condemn. She's attacked every entity of his being, whats sad is that, I'm not even islamic, and yet I'm offended by most of her remarks. She's going to have to fight harder than that to win "sympathy" votes, because lets face it, that's all she had when she skated into the U.S. Senate.

Nick from Houston   February 25th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

How bout this:

MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE ARE DEMOCRATS!!!

This kind of tactic, as many of the recent tactics that she has pursued, are VERY DIVISIVE. This is the type of thing that will lead to disallusionment from the supporters of the losers campaign–this could cause us problems in NOvember trying to reach out to the other side's supporters.

I honestly hope, more and more that she does not win the nomination and that she leaves the campaign trail as soon as possible-for the betterment of the party.

Aaron Harris February 25th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

I think the media has given Hillary a bad image.

WRONG!!!!! Hillary already had a bad image!!!! The media is NOT to blame because she is losing!!!! The media is NOT to blame because she is being "out spent" and out manuvered…
I wish the media attacks could shame her into dropping out!!!

Laura-TX   February 25th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

Whatever! If Obama does win, it wasn't HIS win, it was the media and especially CNN. Everyone gave him a break because he is best buds with Oprah and Sharpton. And noone in the media wants them as a enemy.

Hillary is hated by Obama and his cult.

I'm voting and caucusing for Hillary!

It's Hillary or I contemplate another candidate. No Obama cult for me.

Cindy   February 25th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

This is my second time stating my opnion. Now I know why the first one never got printed. I agree with all those people who says CNN is biased. Obama does no wrong but Hilary is constanly put through the ringer. I think you all should spend a day looking at your prgrams objectively, maybe you will see our point. You also have company, Meet the Press, HardBall, all of of you have never given Hilary a chance, no respect to her supporters. I will say again, Democrats who have already voted were not thinking. This country is in deep crisis and I cannot believe you are putting the job of recovery into the hands of a junior senator based on charisma and speeches instead of Hilary with her experience and achievements. Republicans know better, that's why they chose Mccain. If Obama wins the nomination, well, it is almost guranateed another 4 years of bushonomics. Go Hilary.
CCN. Please print this. Don't be bias.

Jennifer   February 25th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

CNN should be forced to explain how much money they received from Obama and Oprah for airing Obama's ads on their network.

Renee   February 25th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

I agree with Wolfson – the media has been chastizing Hillary ever since she started running for the presidency. Obama is portrayed as the goody 2 shoes guy while the media faults Hillary for all that is negative. Hillary is strong, intelligent, and witty. Obama needs to be called to task, to prove that America does come first…if Hillary did not sing the National Anthem and place her hand over her heart while so doing, the media would have been all over that. Yet, Senator Obama, is allowed to get away with this.
Obama says he is ready to start day 1 and get it right day 1. Well, Obama, as a political figure got it wrong on that day he dishonored the American flag and the people of America.!!!!

kc   February 25th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

Completely agree. Media never reveals Barack Hussein Obama's middle name and his Islamic background from his father.

Can anyone name one, just one accomplishment for Obama? MSNBC can't, Foxnews can't, CNN can't, can you? You never thought about it, huh?

betty   February 25th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

shame on Obama. Shame on CNN.

Tommy2   February 25th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

Obama has been negative ever since SC, remember the 4 sheets of paper at the debate. The biggest issue in this race is that anything can be said about HRC, but you have to walk on eggs when you say anything about BHO. That's a very good deal for him. If whites voted 80% to 90% for Hillary, that would be racial, turn that around and it's OK. Another good deal for Obama. I wish people would take time to look past the nice words. Where is his record on anything!!

radi AZ   February 25th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

CHECK THIS OUT.
Just go trough this blog and count how many mean messages from
OBAMA supporters are there. It's gone tell you who is dividing people,
I Think OBAMA represents this supporters, and NEWS MEDIA is supporting them.

Margie in New York   February 25th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

I have been a supporter of Hillary's for a few years. Hillary turned me off because she has changed into an establishment policy toting bureaucrat. Barack is not running a negative campaign. He is not distorting her record at all. This is what campaigning is all about. She should know that. Hillary's camp issued a photo of Barack dressed in Somali garb and so what? Barack is part African and and he is a Christian. To squash the ignorance of people who have never been outside of the USA, there are times when heads of state travel to other countries, they are required to dress in traditional dress of the countries they visit. I thought Hillary said she is more experienced than Barack on Foreign Policy. She should know that issuing that photo was a bunch of ignorance! That is why her camp is denying circulating that photo! HA! Foreign Policy experience my foot!!!

Hillary and her camp on the other hand, has attempted to distort Barack on plagerism, a fairytale of in-experience, civil rights and list goes on. Barack has stayed above the fray. Barack's campaign has distributed a flyer criticizing her healthcare plan and her vote on Nafta, she is upset? When you throw a punch, you should be able to take a hit when it comes back at you! This is political campaigning. The flyers are is not a personal attack…she should know this, she has been through worse personal attacks. She has to deal with her husband's scandal and the personal attacks she had to deal with from it!

If we did not have this war, it would have been a good time for Hillary to be President, however, the men in the Middle East do not want to speak with a woman and we need to sit and talk to our enemies to work out all of this nonsense with the war!! Yeah! Violence is down, why? Who is paying the insurgents to make it look as if the USA is winning? The oil barrons are!!!

So what's up?!!!

Carol   February 25th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

I don't believe Nader should get any time. What has he done in the last twenty years that makes him qualify as a presidential candidate. His ego brought him into the race in 2000 and cost the Democrats an election. How could he have thought Gore and Bush were alike? It does not say much for his judgment.

Sue   February 25th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

FInally someone speaks out…..I think I have read this on this blog for the past severla months. Obama biased and now maybe CNN will listen as well as all other reporters

king from toronto   February 25th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

so wait! obama wins 11 straight.and he dose not deserve to be rewarded for victories.tell that to olympians.

moderate dem   February 25th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

With you all the way Hillary. You are one of the most steadfast fighters we could have for women's right, for children's rights and for the right of every american to have healthcare. The Harvard definition of Universal: Everything minus 15 million.

tanesha   February 25th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

I'm a non-voting Canadian that is totally glued to the primaries. I have noticed that the media is almost endorsing Barrack and is very down on Hillary not matter what she does. Barrack is riding it too. I think the media is responsible for whoever get elected

Mark   February 25th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

Reading through the comments here I see the same old pattern. Senator Clinton's supporters try to counter the media bias for Obama (which is indisputable) and what they get in return is more bias and more hatred. Now that's divisive. Obama is in serious danger of losing a large segment of the Democratic constituency he will need to win in the Fall. But I doubt that he and his supporters care because they're too busy right now doing and saying whatever it takes to win. Politics as usual.

Dan from california   February 25th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

I can't believe what this democratic primary has become. I was unsure of who to vote for but went with Obama because I feel he is the best politician for this moment in time. The rest of the world will see us in a better light with Obama as our President. With that being said, it is all politics. Both of these politicians are more concerned about their image than truly addressing a problem and arriving at a solution. One thing comes to mind in particuliar, both their comments about the housing and loan situation in this country. Look, you don't justify stupid actions by consumers who made bad decisions without doing there homework. If you don't make enough money to buy a home just because it is packaged in a nifty ARM doesn't change the reality….You still can't afford it. So now Hillary wants to freeze interest rates and put a moratorium on forclosures. Hello it is called a market economy and if you believe in democracy and capitalism you can't try to manipulate the market. Let the homes values fall and the prudent people of this country benefit from the knowing greed of the people who couldn't afford what they bought. Obama would never say this because it is politically incorrect but very true. I don't care how great your persona, if you are a successful politician you have made some shady deals along the way or you would not be where you are.

Jennifer   February 25th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

It's about time CNN gets crawled on the carpet for their bias reporting. They didn't even mention today that Hillary received the endorsement of 27 flag star generals

Jbird   February 25th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

It is clear that the media elite are swept up in Obama mania and nowhere is it more apparent than on CNN. He can do no wrong and senator Clinton can do nothing right according to every analyst on the network.

baldwin   February 25th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

MARCH 4
No more devisive tactics,lies,and THEATRICS.
No more HILLARY.

Amada   February 25th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

Hillary 08.
glad the truth it coming out.

C.J. Sproet   February 25th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

If Mrs. Clinton wishes to win the election she should, for a starter show a real human face, but instead shows a plastified and artificial
behaviour, fitting a cheap cabaret performer but not a presidential
candidate. Please madam, get real.

Nathan   February 25th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

Obama is splitting the Democratic Party. He has no hope carrying the Jewish, senior citizen and blue dog vote. He is as liberal as Mondale and possibly as stupid as Gore. I never would have thought that it would be in America's interest to have 4 more Republican years. I'm on the McCain train, please Mr Maverick, save us from this chamelon and fake.

betty   February 25th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

I always wonder wehter CNN is the contributor behind Obama campian. It is the only reason I can consider why CNN and some reporter continue reporting bias fact and stay behind Obama. This kind of media should be dimished in US.

rumpusgoopus   February 25th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

The reason there's a difference is because when Clinton attacks Obama, it's usually a very cheap shot, and usually completely untrue. When Obama "attacks" (and I'm using the "attack" word here loosely. A more appropriate word is usually "distinguish"), it's usually true and not a cheap shot. Take a look at the latest complaints from the campaigns about each other. Clinton complained about Obama being a liar and practicing dirty politics by him pointing out reasonable differences in policy (which were true), Obama complains about the Clinton campaign trying to perpetuate the myth that Obama is Muslim. Honestly, the media hasn't done nearly enough to point out how negative of a campaign Hillary is running.

Luckily, it appears America is figuring that out on their own.

Hillary08   February 25th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

It is such a same that Hillary cannot adequately run her campaign because the media doesn't really care what she has to say. Any little thing she does she gets negative media press. It is so funny how CNN states they moderate their comments, more select positive feedback for Obama. Such an injustice. Wow this is reverse discrimination now. The black man is getting all the praise and glory and the white woman is being shunned. Wow this is just crazy. I am so disappointed with the media and those of you who are buying into this Obama thing. Obama has been negative towards her, but too bad when you turn on the t.v. that is not what you see. Good job to SNL who noticed this and did a skit on about it. Shame on you Obama and shame on the rest of you who don't see how biased the media is.

Mr. Keiser   February 25th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

She and her people are manipulative, conniving political agents that blatantly say anything in the hope that it will change the focus from her losing.
Hillary keeps changing faces and one never knows what personality will show up.

I don't know if — one day, she is happy or — the next second, she is ready to start war with a country because they made her angry and put out nation at risk.
Hang it up Hillary….The fat lady is ready to sing….GO HOME

Kevin   February 25th, 2008 8:52 pm ET

RE: "YES!!! Finally, someone has the guts to come out and say it. I completely agree with what Howard Wolfson is quoted as saying here."

Has the guts? He gets paid to say these things. It's his job, people.

You're the ones with the guts to keep bringing it up. And most everytime you've brought it up, I've checked out the allegations and made up my own mind (as most voters do.) So thanks for doing that.

Obama '08!!!!!!

Ava   February 25th, 2008 8:52 pm ET

I am think that you are not that old or your just not that intelligent about what she has done for you and women around this world.

Let me tell you something, I am not the most ardent Clinton fan if I could be considered one at all. But the astounding stupidity of people just sounding off about her is about all that I can take.

She has put a great many womens issues on the for front of Americas politics. Which would have not otherwise made it without her.
She has travel this world over and help a great many helpless and troubled women to find a voice in Nations were women are not considered viable citizens. Where killing women is not a sin. Where beating,stoning, burning, mutilating, raping, degrading women is okay.

So just stop the B.S… She has saved lives and has given a voice to a great many voiceless. She helped and continues to help single women with children who are underpaid if paid at all. She has advocated for those who cannot speak.

What in heck have any of you whiners done to top that.

Whether she wins or not , she will continue to help the minorities the voiceless abuse children and women.

What have you done. What?

If at anytime in your life that you think anyone will be able to walk into Washington D.C and rid it of corruption, lobbiest, deal cutting you are one of those DELUSIONAL OBAMA FOLLOWERS.

You cut out lobbiest and Corporate America you cut out you jobs. High and Low income.

Get an education on womens issues and how our government works before you People Bash.

Not liking someone for points of view is one thing. To bash on issues that have nothing to do with what is going on is to sell Americas best chances down the drain with narrow minded thinking

Kyu Reisch, Radcliff, Kentucky   February 25th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

Wolfson, you are right. Obama and his mean wife attacked Hillary from the beginning, media never said one word negative. The Clinton's said one word, media made a big deal, twisting and look bad. I don't trust CNN anymore, I cancelled MSNBC and FOXnews month ago, I would better to watch movie than News Channel. All of CNN Political Team are Obama supporters, they spread garbage from their mouth, there's nothing to listen, they just say whatever is good for Obama. This is crazy and not fair at all. People who supported Obama will regret soon. Hillary, keeping fight, God is in your side, because God knows you are way better than Obama.

Sandra, CA   February 25th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

Hillary is not running against Barack, she is running against Americans. We want our country back, and we won't get it back with Hillary. It will stay in hock, as it has been for the last seven years.

Mark   February 25th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

Why can't the Clinton campaign just suck it up and realize that they are losing because of their own mistakes. It's not everyone else's fault. Hillary had every unfair advantage possible going into this campaign and she is now losing which is hard to fathom. You can't blame the media for following a winner. If Obama was losing he's be yesterday's news. But he's pulling off a modern day political miracle against the odds and that's a big story, get over it!

Toulde BOGHE   February 25th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

She was inevitable winner somewhere but now she is inevitable loser….

Nick from Houston   February 25th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

Lame!!!

I can't help but laugh at the whole campaign. Wolfson is sloppy, and I mean sloppy.

If Hillary Clinton survives Texas and Ohio, she should fire that guy as soon as possible. He makes her campaign look weak and desperate.

Honestly, I am hoping Obama wins both Texas and Ohio so the entire thing gets done with.

THANK GOD IT'S FINALLY COMING TO LIGHT NOW   February 25th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

hillary will be the eventual winner, anyway

changing times   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

I agree with Kelly. Everyone must admit no one gave Obama a second thought a year ago. Hillary was so sure of herself, people just wrote him off and no one bothered to investigate his record or see what he had to offer.

It's really a testament to his brilliance and leadership that he took a virtually unknown campaign and brought it to the point it is today. He did that without ever bringing up any of a number of dubious issues surrounding HIllary and Bill still to this day. He never smeared her personally or tried to humiliate her. Now all of you want to hate him because he's done such a good job that he's overshadowed Hillary.

The press as well as many others are amazed at the savyness, intelligence and leadership of what he's accomplished and none of you can deny what a great job he's done agains such a well known name as Clinton-give him credit. That's news what more can be said?

JOHN   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

DID SOME ONE SAY NADAR'S GOT MY VOTE, THAT'S IT I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE, MA MA TAKE ME HOME AND PUT ME TO BED, I'VE HEARD ENOUGH, OMG. OMG. OMG. DID I SAY OMG.?

Nathan   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

I can't believe the Obama acolytes. They have trashed the legacy of the only re-elected Democratic President since FDR, and one of the greatest female politicians in the nation's history. The worst Hillary has called the thin-skinned Obama was naive and he has shown his true colors with the kind of lies and bile that marks Republican politics. I hope with all my heart that John McCain wins the Presidency and shows Obama what real smear is, and not the gentle love-taps of the person that gave you your leg up in national politics.

jeff   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

As i stand aside and look at CNN,MSNBC and FOX i cant help but see that it is undying love for barak obama and bashing hillay clinton
it is like we are so stupid and can not make up our mind and we need
Tim Russel,Chris or bill or jack or wolf or joe or oprah and….. to pick a president
and we vote for them.thats the shame not barak with somali cloth or hilary with scarf.
regardless of what barak or hillary say l promise they have thire own agenda and pepole to look out for you will see.
further more it seems like republican are not eager to win this one because thire boy georgi has made such a bad mess no matter who is in the W.H its going to take 20 years to clean up.so good luck and good night

AJ, IL   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

This is the problem with Hillary and her campaign. The word is RESPONSIBILITY! Hillary's campaign sounds very similiar to Hillary's vote for the Iraq War. Hillary never acknowledged she made a mistake, then blamed GW Bush, and consequently has not learned from it. Likewise, Hillary's campaign never acknowledged they made a mistake by not competing in every state, by not focusing on the voter, and overspending, then blamed and belittled the voters and the media, and consequently has not learned from this.

Obama in 08!

Listen To Slayer   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

I thought the Democrats were gonna have an easy time winning the office after 8 years of the Bush regime… Now they are infighting and self destructing, and you got Nadar throwing his hat in the ring…
Mccain must be ecstatic!!!!!!!

Jeremy   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

What has Obama done to the African American community that he gets 90% of their votes anyway? – aaah right, it's because he's black. That's something I feel ashamed of about our country. We cry for change yet we're helping tp perpetuate the same things we want to change.

THANK GOD IT'S FINALLY COMING TO LIGHT NOW   February 25th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

it is hateful for you to supress the Pro-Hillary blogs and only post the obama supporter posts

Byron in CA   February 25th, 2008 8:49 pm ET

Go to Nader's page for the real info on Obama that mainstream media won't expose. Even if you're not a Nader fan just google his web page and look under the entries for Obama. Learn about his loyalty to Wall Street, oil barons, war profiteers, corporations, and more. Learn about the change he's been talking about and how in the end all it will add up for the American public is change in your pocket while millions are made on your backs.

Seattle Tiffany   February 25th, 2008 8:49 pm ET

Seriously?

Some of the best journalists (and high profile networks) out there are risking their reputations to side with Obama (and clearly show it) over you?

Right…

What about the Republican reporters/analysts? I mean, they definitely want you as the Democratic candidate over Obama – yet they seem to be saying the same things…

I’m thinking you should focus on strengthening your campaign (and the people running it) instead of whining and pointing fingers at trivial things…this kind of behavior is not going to win against McCain.

You are receiving the press you’re receiving because it’s TRUE.

Now go cry your river somewhere else so the one who can handle the heat can stay in the kitchen.

Obama 08′

jimmy   February 25th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

well, i am not a democratic fan, but i do see a real trend here that somehow most of the media here is favoring Obama than Clinton.
in that said, why don't the media just say it that Obama is all they are supporting. Men will still be men, and they will never let a woman run this country. Does the media know that since they are favoring Obama than Clinton, they are the one who is dividing the democratic party! Go Nader!!!

I agree with the Clintons, the press and the Democrats have done themselves great harm in the horrible double standards and favoritism towards Obama. I'm not saying this as a Clinton supporter, but as someone who has lost a lot of faith in the media and the Democrat leaders who instead of encouraging the true spirit of democracy and opportunity for the people have forced a candidate on us.

CNN Inappropriate Coverage   February 25th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

It's about time CNN got called out. Thie remarks made by the analyst and reporters are influencing votes — and they know it. At the end of the day, Hillary and Obama should get neutral coverage.

Go Hillary!

Lynn in NM   February 25th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

I am so tired of the whining! We need to change the primaries to one day, with the limit of 2 months of campaigning. Vast right wing conspiracy, vast left-wing conspiracy, vast media conspiracy. Is there anything else Hillary? You wanted a career in politics, you got it!

alicia   February 25th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

Cancel your satellite or cable subscription and let them know why. They will react quickly. Don't allow them to interfere with your vote. Before you vote think about you first. Who will do better for you and your pocket. Remember is the economy is good is good for everybody.

Chuck   February 25th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

It's obvious… just take a look at the headlines on this web site for the last ten days and rate the titles alone as one way or the other… and you'll see a huge bias… it's a sad day when even CNN forgot that journalists report the news not slant it.

JKeller   February 25th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

I disagree that the media is biased towards obama. I see it the other way around. CNN = Clinton News Network. They will report any and everything on the Clintons. Have you watched the debates especially with Wolf Blitzer moderating??? A clear favoritism towards her.

This is just a Clinton campaign strategy so that she can get the sympathy vote. We all know the Clintons own most of the Main Stream Media and their reporting (save for Fox, IMO) has been very favorable towards the Clintons while swiftboating Obama. It is pathetic!!!

Tracy   February 25th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

I agree completely. The press had her losing before the first vote was even cast. I think each candidate should be given the same unbias coverage. Whether dem or rep so each voter can decide for themselves on the issues, not the opinion of the few in the press. Watch the debates look up records on each web site.. look over the plans each candidate has that is already public record. This election is so important and history has already been made.

Midge from Ohio   February 25th, 2008 8:47 pm ET

I have thought this myself many, many times! Obama can do no wrong as far as the press is concerned. I saw little blips of Louis Farrakhan's (Black muslims) praise of Obama on Fox and MSNBC internet sites today but nothing on CNN. To me this was BIG news and concerned me, yet it is pushed off the news. Why?

THANK GOD IT'S FINALLY COMING TO LIGHT NOW   February 25th, 2008 8:47 pm ET

Joshua   February 25th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

"Shame on you, Barack Obama," a visibly angry Clinton said Saturday. "Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove's playbook. This is wrong, and every Democrat should be outraged."

Well the problem with this is, acording to the numbers, is that most democrats arent sharing in your outrage, and they arent voting for you. Atleast in all of the states that you publicly state "dont matter".

jill   February 25th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

The Clintons are using their win at all costs tactics again. I can't stand it. They don't seem to care about the democratic party, just themselves. I was previously a Clinton supporter and now I've switched to Obama.

THANK GOD IT'S FINALLY COMING TO LIGHT NOW   February 25th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

it is so hateful for you, the moderator, to suppress political posts that are Pro-Hillary. It is Anti-American

sm   February 25th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

I think both candidates have more to offer than just their message. The one who is criticizing eloquence and intelligent speaking has now proved that her message will change as the message from the people around her isn't what she wants to hear.

Anthony Hooker   February 25th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

Mrs. Clinton will go down in history as the only First Lady to run for the
Office Of The Presentdent Of The United States.

She talk about she is ready to take over on day one, well American's
believe that anyone can run for the Office if qualified. Her Hubbie did not have much readiness, and to me the only man the stands ready
would be the XO second in command. Mr. Clinton took office right after Desert Storm and there was problems from day one but he was smart enough to hear his Staff.

Now there are other countries that think we have the a crazy system anyway because of the four (4) years and a maxium of eight(8) years in office. They say that this is not enough time to run a country. Yes
this is America..

JohnX2   February 25th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

wow, clinton is mad desperate. Notice how you keep blaming everyone, the media, obama, the states that dont count…. Could it be that the clinton campaign has been an absolute disaster, has really disappointed alot of people after all your hype last year.

Honestly, if you've had '35 years of experience' and have been 'tested' why is it that you are unable to overcome 'the media"? why is it that you are angry at obama who hasn't had nearly anywhere as much name recognition and exposure, shouldn't hillary have the upper hand?

Speaks alot of her management skills and 'leadership'. Please, step down and lets unite the democrats and face mccain enough with the sillyness.

Vision Quest   February 25th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

Wah, Wah, Wah… When all else fails, blame the media. Wolfson is following the lead of Sen Clinton with regards to accountability. EVERYTHING that goes wrong is the result of some blatant unfairness.
1) Her vote authorizing the war in Iraq was not her fault. That evil George Bush tricked her.
2) Her support of NAFTA and regarding it as one of the key successes of the Clinton Administration (in her own memoir) was the fault of the senior Bush who initiated the legislation (so Bill was just acting on behalf of Bush Sr?)
3) The caucus system is not for the real people. It's for those who don't really need a president.
If she's so dam tough, then why is she always making excuses. She's not a stand up leader. The next time she shows some accountability will be the first!!

THANK GOD IT'S FINALLY COMING TO LIGHT NOW   February 25th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

greg   February 25th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

Geri   February 25th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

Someone on the Clinton side finally got it right. The official Obama News Network never criticizes anything he says or does. They even white washed Nasty Michelle's comments. There's an article on ABC's web page about Obama & its very interesting. Cafferty needs to find a new job for having his questions be about Clinton 99% of the time and about McCain the other 1%. Him and Blitzer have their heads so far up Obamas _____ that they are blinded by facts. All Obama supporters need to get a life and quit whining.

Old Artillery Man   February 25th, 2008 8:43 pm ET

As one who supported John Edwards, I have been trying to decide whom to support after he suspended his campaign. I am leaning to Obama but even so, I can see the favorable media coverage to Obama and the negative coverage given to Hillary. So much in fact, that even Obama supporters should be able to see it.

Jose Salcido   February 25th, 2008 8:43 pm ET

Whait untill Sen Obama says that Sen. Clinton is "a danger for the US".

Jennifer   February 25th, 2008 8:43 pm ET

Unfortunately, what the Clinton campaign is saying is very true-and people are noticing it. Obama IS being treated differently. He is presented in a positive way by the media, if he makes a mistake he can easily explain it to the media's satisfaction, and he is not asked anything too tough, etc. This is very nice of the media but the other candidates get grilled on things, if they get very good endorsements and large crowds they are not covered like Obama's crowds and endorsements, etc. I could go on and on but people know. There are also many people who do not think Obama is bigger than life as he is often portrayed. They seem, however, to be in the minority where mainstream media is concerned. However, this election won't last forever , and if the media continues to treat Obama with different standards and preferences they will increasingly lose credibility with those of us who want standards of real fairness and objective and professional journalism applied.

Ken   February 25th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

If she'll do something like this to a fellow Senator who has subtle differences with her, what would she do to the average citizen if we got in her way?

Jeremy   February 25th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

Obama is faith healer not a problem solver. Kudos to him for using the media to his advantage though.

RyanT, Dem Abroad, Berlin   February 25th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

Looks like the NY Times foreshadowed this their November 13th article written in 2006,

"Mr. Wolfson will oversee the fabled Clinton war room as Mrs. Clinton steps further onto the national stage…In many ways, Mr. Wolfson’s bare-knuckle brand of politics is reminiscent of the tactics of Karl Rove, President Bush’s chief political adviser — and a man whose skills Mr. Wolfson admits to admiring. While other Democrats tend to run campaigns that largely focus on issues, Mr. Wolfson is more than willing to make an opponent’s character the central theme of a race."

Jen   February 25th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

When the media takes her campaigns statements and calls them "lashing out" and "takes aim" I do believe it portrays her negatively, whereas if the media wrote something like "Clinton campaign criticizes media" would not portray her so negatively. So yes, I do believe the media often attempts to portray her campaign negatively.

i find it strange how divided the democratic party really is. so many hillary supporters are saying that if obama is the democratic nominee then they will vote for John McCain. what people really don't understand is that obama and clinton are similar in some many policies and issues. the notion that if obama wins then hillary supporters will switch party lines is absolutely absurd. so you would rather vote for McCain and continiue this war in Iraq and have lobbyists in Washington. people have to come to their own senses that regardless of whoever is the democratic nominee that this is about stopping McCain and the Republicans. Right now every Republican is sitting back watching and enjoying barack and hillary tear themselves apart. this is why most countries in the world have no respect towards the united states because of how divided the country really is.

Thank GOD it's FINALLY being talked about now…….why the HECK did it TAKE so long? Is America so blind to what has been happening, or are they just too stupid to question it? The power of the media has gotten out of hand, and it is the fault of the American people, for not standing up and saying, "we are not going to tolerate this anymore". Actually, the American people created the "Media Monster", themselves.

It's not "Big Brother" we should be concerned about—-it's the media and their successful ability to feed us twisted information about what THEY want us to believe. What can we truly believe anymore about what is written or reported? It all began with tabloid media and the glorifying of sleeze and gossip. All of a sudden, Americans were buying into stories like that, and truth became clouded and melded with hearsay and inuiendo, and suddenly that is all that people want to hear about: some version of the truth. They just can't deal with the real truth.

Shame on you Hillary & Wolfson

proud to be an american   February 25th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

to kelly, new york -

well written. kudos! chivalry is the word i've been thinking about. just so people would know, sen. obama told everyone in his staff that they will not go the way the politicians of yesterday, the pettiness, the mud slinging and the name calling; that they have to focus on the issues at hand. his advisers, as a matter of fact, are, at times, frustrated at him for not going jugular at sen. clinton inspite of her negative campaigning. her and her staff actually started this negativity right after iowa because they were surprised at how it did not go their way. i've been following sen. clinton's (and that of her husband) "experience" since 1992 and sen. obama since 2004 at the dnc convention. all the experiences she earned since then do not equal to the experiences of the illinois senator.

i am a republican voting for sen. obama. not because he is an easy opponent for the republican party. on the contrary, sen. clinton is the easiest of all opponents you can possibly throw against the republican might, with all the baggages (read garbage) she carry. don't be fooled by sen. mccain's attacks on sen. obama, they want all democrats to vote for sen. clinton.

again, kelly from new york, i tip my hat to you.

Sue   February 25th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Republicans take note. McCain is the next victim. Media bias toward Barack Obama is tremendous. Some in the media even admit to getting caught up in the Obama frenzy. They have abandoned their journalistic integrety to try and influence the voters decisions and make Obama into some sort of Messiah. How sad.

You showed Hillary in the flesh today (looking younger) speaking favorably about NAFTA. What the Hell is going on? If you're going to confuse me, all I have to do is change the channel. Which is it?

HD   February 25th, 2008 8:35 pm ET

Democrats, ask yourself one question. Do you want to win this November? If you do, then you have to pick Obama because if he is not the candidate, a lot of people will feel like their voice does not matter. Many will stay home, others will vote for Nader or McCain and the democrats will lose once more like Kerry and Gore.

TM   February 25th, 2008 8:34 pm ET

This is pathetic that Hillary can not be herself to save her life! Every day we see some new persona and some new issue. Her inability to be genuine just masks someone who will do anything to taste the power of the White House – AGAIN.

Clint   February 25th, 2008 8:34 pm ET

This is a strategic dead end. It makes the Clinton campaign seem desperate and distracted. Her message is not attracting voters, she's not winning on personality or the issues, so all that's left is to attack Obama's campaign tactics. When you're campaign is this bankrupt, just throw in the towel.

Mike   February 25th, 2008 8:34 pm ET

Justin West Haven, CT   February 25th, 2008 8:33 pm ET

I cannot wait for this race to be somewhat less negative when Clinton drops out.

At least you've heard all the negative already from McCain with the lack of patriotism comments. Same crap pulled with Kerry in the Swift Boat ads.

There were no complaints about bad press….I am sick ant tired of the entire Clinton family….Chelsa has come out of the closet and is now mommy's best "point person. What happened to all that leave Chelsa alone, crap. I voted Bill Clinton twice but make no mistake about it…you will not get my vote. The ranting over the weekend sounded like a "hormonal female about to go postal"….Please Mr. Secret Service man check Hillary's lipstick tomorrow, she may just go nuclear on us. Honey…learn how to lose graciously. For the first time in my life, I actually agree with Rush Limbaugh…I do not want to watch you grow old on television…do something about the bags under your eyes…..remember like his women young…real young and you are looking like an "Old Hag" or is it "Old Nag"….ha! ha!

HAHA, someone said Obama was losing steam? Like the kind of steam that it takes to win 11 contests in a row? Like the steam that says that Texas is a dead heat when two weeks ago hillary had a double digit lead? Like the kind of steam that said that no one could compete against her? This is why educated people vote overwhelmingly Obama, they are smart. All the hillary supporters have had trouble putting sentences together in the comment section.

Mr. Wolfson appears to be as desparate as Senator Clinton. Let me be frank…I initially supported Senator in her bid for the Democratic nominee but repeatedly cringed at her style, tactics and manipulation of the facts to best champion her win. The last straw for me came in January when she threatened to go to the courts to get the delegates from Florida and Michigan after all the Democratic candidates agreed to abide by the rules of the party. Shame on you, Hillary!
Obama calmly disputing the facts as needed without tearing her down. Her attacks are below the belt, and below the standard of a true leader. I planned on voing for her…now I'm totally turned off. We dont need "scorch the earth" or "beat the brains out" style she is known for….not to mention changing the rules of the game to suit her. ENOUGH!

CNN and media in general has been very very biased against Hillary this election cycle. I am a Republican and not big fan of Clintons or Democrats in general but seriously media has been way too negative on Hillary. My friends call me too harsh on Democrats but CNN and in particluar Gloria Broger and John Roberts has been totally ridiculous in attacking Hillary. Half the time I cannot even understand Gloria's point, because she is just focused on slamming Clinton. Please CNN don't decide the election for American people. Don't abuse your power.

Alice   February 25th, 2008 8:30 pm ET

Oh, poor Scott – guess you can't read

Obama sends out negative mailings and emails that were probably written by one of his staffers, since he seems to have difficulty coming up with an original thought by himself – he is just a xerox of better people – he imitates the walk, the talk, the cadence (but he looks like a fool when he tries to dance)

LOL – he gets caught on video and on camera and calls it "an attack" – and I have to wonder why? Is he ASHAMED and OUTRAGED to be caught on camera in Muslim garb? Why is that?

I personally intend to have my own bumper sticker made up if that foolish man gets the Democratic nod

It will read "Don't blame me – blame CNN. The MEDIA elected THIS fool"

Wolfson must be practising a stand-up routine. He may need it soon enough as a future career path. If Hilary can't pick people to manage a winning campaign after starting with a 30 point lead, how can she possibly manage the presidency?

jp/michigan   February 25th, 2008 8:08 pm ET

Is CNN owned by Time Warner? Because Time Warner gave a huge donation to the Obama campaign. Maybe that's why they favor Obama.

there is no doubt that OBAMA running negative compaign. CHANGE itself is negative toward the POLICY of BUSH. it's like somebody else making a MISTAKE and you are exploiting it for your GAIN. I am sure BUSH's POLICY is wrong, but that doesn't mean you go out CRITICIZE it for your advantage. you have to promote yourself & your achievements, but OBAMA has nothing to offer so he is using CHANGE MANTRA.

there is no doubt that MEDIA IS BIASED. if obama talked out CLINTON than its that he is point it out. but if CLINTON talked out obama than its she is criticizing. OBAMA's campaigne is like IF ANYBODY HAS A EXPERIENCE THAN IT IS BAD.

Hillary is hillarious! The first woman to have a serious shot at the presidency and she's going off the deep end. Let's see "I'm honored to be here with Barack Obama", then "Shame on you, Barack Obama". Which Hillary are we going to see next?

She is losing it, right in front of our eyes-. Take a chill pill.

I will never vote for anyone who says "This is serious", as if all of the Obama supporters are just whacko crazy. As we've seen in the news recently, when things don't go her way, she's the crazy one.

She wants to be taken seriously, but she can't handle the truth (taken from "A Few Good Men"). Wake up Hillary, Barack is giving you a run for your flimsy campaign rhetoric and you can't handle it.

I agree , the news media is not doing their job reporting the news — they express their own opinions and try to tell us what we should think etc. after a Presidential debate I don`t need a group of newsmen trying to interpret what I heard with my own ears. Do you think we are stupid? Some of you seem to enjoy trying to rip the candidates to shreds — especially a woman. You do not treat Obama the same because you don`t want to appear racial — it might get you fired. I am ashamed of some of you and I wish News People were not allowed to express their own political opinions.

This spin doctor is full of utter bunk. Oh… poor Hillary isn't being treated fair? Is her campaign honestly saying that she didn't support nafta? She doesn't want to make health care manadatory? Um… She's outraged because its true and she's up the creek now. If calling someone inexperienced, unprepared (on day one), and full of hype/ hope mongering, isn't a personal attack, then what is? Oh and btw… everytime hillary would accuse Obama of nonsense like perjury, he responded with tact. Instead, she starts ranting like someone stole her wallet.

Nancy   February 25th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Hurts to hear the truth doesn't it? Clinton can be as negative as she wants, but can't take it when it comes back at her. The more she keeps losing to Obama, the nastier she gets.

Jen, Gainesville   February 25th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

The Clinton campaign should calm down. The Obama campaign had an ad saying that Hillary "will say anything, but change nothing" to only respond to Hillary's negative ad about Obama's Regan remarks in SC. The Clinton campaign ran that negative ad, distorting Obama's words even after the media corrected the Clintons numerous times and after Obama defended himself in the debate on the previous night. The Clintons should just go away. The American people are sick of the Karl Rove's politics practiced by the Clintons.

Attacking the media won't gain her anything from CNN anyway. The Clintons seem to be falling apart.

mike   February 25th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

I've been confused about a couple of issues that perhaps one of the Clinton supporters can shed some light on:

1) Why is she a senator from NY? Her husband was governor of Arkansas, and she lived in DC from 92-00, so why NY? When did she actually live in NY prior to becoming a senator "from" NY?

2) What exactly did either Clinton ever do for minorities that makes them such a "friend" to either Latinos or African-Americans? She touts her work in TX signing up Latino voters in 72, but that was in support of a caucasian candidate, so what about that deserves merit?

3) Why is it a de-facto premise that we need health care reform? It seems to me that she created a non-issue upon which to run. Sure, we need lower costs, but if there were an American entitlement to own a car, we'd all be driving Yugos – as can be seen with the British socialized health care system.

Perhaps one of the bloggers who are so knowledgeable and certain that Ms. Clinton's the right choice will answer – I promise to listen and will change my mind-set from negative to positive about her if anyone can provide credible answers to the above questions.

Thank you.

This is one in the list of Hillarys failures.More and more she shows that she is not capable to be president of our great country. She stayed with hers cheating husband, what that says to you?!!
Go Obama Go and America show now to the whole world how great country we are! Change!

Stamford   February 25th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

I have come to seriously question the press in this election and the amount of coverage the analysts get vs covering the issues. Who are these talking heads anyway. Why are they so qualified to speak to the issues? What have they done themselves.

Lets give them the same scrutiny they are giving the Clintons and McCain.

I for one have stopped listening and are reading the candidates positions.

Lets see if you post this CNN.

Mad as Hell and not going to take it anymore   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

I'm so sick of the slant from the MSM. Say what you want but it's been Obama the golden, do no wrong boy. Something negative comes out of Obama well that's the truth, let's not talk about the fact that they're really lies. Clinton fights back, oh she should just give up, it's all over.

Please MSM get off of the campaign trail and start reporting the truth, before we turn the tv's off and the money stops rolling in.

Erin   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Shame on Hillary – she has run the most disgusting campaign I have ever seen and has the gall to whine when it is coming back to bite her. She does want to attack wages to support her health care that I personally do not want and she did support NAFTA when Billyboy was pushing for it. These are facts – not lies. Take a look at how distorted she has made the picture of him in Kenya. She would make a terrible President. I am proud to be part of the college educated base that is supporting Barack Obama.

Evan   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Keep going CNN. It's funny how now that Clinton is losing, all of her supporters, and herself, are blaming the media, including CNN, of being bias and costing her campaign the nomination. First her excuse for not crushing Obama was that she could not win caucuses. Next her excuse was that the southern states had more blacks and she couldn't win blacks. Next her excuse was that Obama was running "tatics out of Karl Rove's playbook" (she doesn't of course, she's the angel of the campaign. By the way if you couldn't tell, I was joking.) Now its the media hates her. What next, the only thing left to blame is the aliens. By the way Clinton supporters, remember when she was crushing Obama early in the campaign. Now Obama has won more states and more popular vote. Give credit where credit's due.

Also, Ohio for Obama

Susan Weinstein   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

I completely agree. The way that Senator Clinton is depicted is different from the way Senator Obama is depicted. Obama is running a negative campaign, not Clinton. The press is weighing and deciding for us – fairness in reporting, please!

idahosa, Canada   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

as an obama supporter, i would be ashamed and angry if his campaign would put any blame on the press for anything. having followed this political process closely from the very beginning, i would say that the media has tried in all ways to be objective and impartial in their coverage.

hillary in all fairness has attracted most of the negative remarks she has gotten by herself. after all the recommendation she got from her closing remarks during the texas debate, she came out some days later to blow it all up. to this very moment, each time i see the clip of her tantrum i get goose bumps. if that was a tactical move, then she really needs to tidy up her campaign team and get some more positive minded people into her campaign.

obama '08

Ken   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

I am so angry with the one-sided media coverage for the first time in my adult life I am not going to vote if my choice is Mccain or Obama. So keep it up and you will end-up with Mccain in the Whitehouse. That is what all you Obama freaks deserve.

Wade   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Okay, I'm normally try to talk about us all working together, but enough is enough…..

Clinton Supporters really need to take a look at this and really stop crying foul play…..

The flyers related a lot of truth about the Clinton policy issues concerning those things…..before you say I don't know what I'm talking about go and read up on it. Also what about the Clinton flyer about Obama's Healthcare plan in WI?

Secondly, The Clinton's have taken personal attacks on Obama this whole campaign season after Iowa. Pres. Clinton made racial references and even called Obama a "Fairy Tale." That's a personal attack.

The news has been fair and weighted. Clinton supporters never said unfair until Clinton was down.

I've always said that the say anything do anything tactics and change your campaign slogan has been a big thing that's happened with the Clinton's this year.

I still think that Hillary would make a great President. I also support Barack Obama for President of the United States. I will vote for either, but the support of Hillary is wavering lately as her campaign continues to dis-service her and is playing hypocritical politics.

Hillary Supporters, stop the whining it just continues to make her look bad. You guys are the reason why so many people are actually turned off by her. Your senseless attacks on Obama and your futile arguments in support of a failed campaign doesn't help her. You shouldn't engage in divisive politics it's bad.

Support, but don't hate on the other guy. We are the Democratic Party.

Wake up people

In the Middle   February 25th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

I'm afraid the campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have reached of point of no return the democratic party. I think whomever the nominee is we need to rally behind them. The senators are carbon copies of each other on policies. What we're running into now is style versus experience.

This is politics folks. People are going to get their position out there no matter what. Hillary's back is against the wall and she's coming out swinging. Each campaign is going to nick-pick each other to death. Meanwhile, John McCain is solidifying his base and the republicans once again are rallying behind their candidate. As much fighting that's going on with the dems it's going to be McCain taking the oath of office in '09.

Patrick   February 25th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

For the people who can't see with with their own eyes, let me see if I might help open them. There are so many negative comments of the Clinton campaign by many here on this posting site. If you believe this is such a dastardly thing then why are you doing the same to her here ,by yourselves. Does Mr. Obama have some kind of an exception to this, because all I see from his campaign is lashing out, negative comments to whomever makes one towards him. Look out Mrs.Obama ,if you don't choose your words carefully you will be next on Mr. Obamas list of negitive people. And, by the way I will choose experience over sarcasm any day. By some chance Mr.Obama gets this nomination, I will be the first person in line to vote for Mr. McCain
Look at the facts:::VOTE HILLARY— or VOTE McCain in November

me   February 25th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Please TEXAS, OHIO
VOTE CLINTON!!

Veterans Mom   February 25th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Hillary voted to invade Iraq…anyone with half a brain could see that the information presented not enough to invade a country. This woman will say different things to different people at different times…she changes like the weather. I recently watched a documentary about a badly wounded Iraq Veteran that was requesting help and answers…when he went to Hillary's office he was swiftly shown the door and no one would talk to him. When he went to Obama's office…although Obama wasn't there the people there sat down with him and heard him out.. When Obama was in our state he was reaching out to the Veterans and listening to their concerns…not Hillary. This man truely cares about us and we need him to be our President…Hillary is a nasty person that will stoop and anything to try to get what she wants.

Jason   February 25th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

In a Times poll, it says among presidential candidates, Clinton gets 25% of the media coverage and Obama gets 16%.
Just saying.

Robert & Isabel Martin   February 25th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

I agree that the Media is very very unfair the way they have been treating Hillary Clinton.
It is like Obama can do no wrong(especially that he has ALWAYS been the first one to start the negative comments about Hillary.
We have been listening very closely to what he has been saying and found that he has said two differnent comments about the same subject. He talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Very disturbing.
He is a dreamer and NOT realistic at all. His head is in the clouds.
He is a great speach maker but that is it. No substance just unrealistic talk.

Cecelia   February 25th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

Ms. Clinton you was born with a spoon in your mouth of course she would not know what hope felt like or the meaning behind it. When you mocked Obama you mocked his supporters because that is what keep us going outside of our ambitions to make it to the next day.

I say this whatever Bill supported she supported because she supported him. How can you stand by someone that does harm to a nation. It's insanity, I guess if Bill jump off a bridge she will to because its for better or for worst.
Sounds like another Bonnie & CLyde

Ande from KC   February 25th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

"Shame On You"! Mr. Wolfson

Nothing good will ever come out of your campaign as long as you resort to such tactics.

Tony   February 25th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

The die has been cast. Our people hunger for change. A change from the divisive politics that have run DC for years. Hillary is part of that status quo…it's time for new politics after years of ole mas. Nothing can be achieved if there is division. She can't defeat an idea whose time has come. As Dr. Lawerence Peter wrote in his book the peters principle "……some peole rise to their level of incompetence": She is a good Senator but will make a bad President.. Obama is like the bibical reading"…and a child shall lead them". Out with the old, in with the new. Just listen to Hillary's bipolar behavior lately…one minute grace under fire, next a bull in a china's shop and yet again, an aging actress spitting venom. Again, out with the old and in with the new. After old mas is new politics.

David E   February 25th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

AGREED! The mainstream media IS giving Obama a complete FREE RIDE while continuing negative coverage on Sen. Clinton JUST as they did with Al Gore in 2000.

Ava   February 25th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Awe, poor poor Hillary! yeh….riiight! No sympathy vote here. Your only upset because it back fired, same as all of your attacks they back fire. No one to blame but yourself.

JT   February 25th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

I feel that CNN has been fair in the reporting on the presidential candidates. Naturally, each camp will feel that their camp is being attacked.

Obviously, Hillary's camp is not watching the same CNN that I am watching. Some of the commentators are also harsh with Obama.

Hillary keeps changing faces and one never knows what personality will show up.

I don't know if — one day, she is happy or — the next second, she is ready to start war with a country because they made her angry and put out nation at risk.

Her outburst is outragious. I never would have known about her flyers if she hadn't brought the attention to the world. She makes wrong hasty decision.

How can she be ready for day 1? She has had trouble with her camp's finances and choice of leaders. If she can't handle her camp, how can she handle the country?

She keeps making bad judgments.

The truth will set you free!   February 25th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Poor Shrillary is finally getting a taste of how unfair and ugly the right wing media (Drive By Media) treats Republicans/conservatives.

Vote Hillary as the White House needs it's furniture back.

changing times   February 25th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

CNN & all other media are in the business of selling information and more accurately sensational information. Obama is a sensation.

First he's a fresh voice and fresh face, he's packing rallies, running extraordinarily effective campaign and garnishing important endorsements. This my friends sell coverage. If HIllary was being as effective in her campaign then she would not only get the positive media coverage but she would also get the votes!

nmetzker   February 25th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

It seems to me that Clinton is generally the one who initiates the negativity. Obama's negative statements almost always come in defense of negative Clinton statements. So, I think it is true that Clinton brings the negativity to the campaign, which is why it is reported that way. Also, Barack's statements often are backed up with evidence and facts, whereas Hillary and her people tend to make demonstrably false claims.

I generally feel really disgusted with the Clinton people, which is one reason I voted for Obama in the New York primary.

James   February 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Wow Wolfson…how can he even say this with a straight face?

Clinton is even seen as a divisive, polarizing figure outside of Democratic cricles. Now, over half of the Democratic party sees her this way as well. Clinton supporters may dislike Obama's rhetoric, and chide the press for favoring him over Clinton, but I honestly don't see how Obama's campaign has resorted to the same base tactics. Yes, there have been some cheap shots from the Obama camp, as is to be expected in any campaign. But it seems like the Clintons have hit rock bottom in front of all of our eyes. Think about Bill's comments in South Carolina, I never heard anything like that come from Obama. And about the health care? It was HILLARY who was deriding Obama's plan during all the debates! Does Wolfson think we're all suffering from some bizarre amnesia?

Kelly, New York   February 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck and you call it a duck is that a negative attack???? If anything, Hillary Clinton has had the upper hand in controlling the news organizations; just the other day they could barely bring themselves to mention the similarity between her closing statement (touted by them as the best of her campaign and a glimpse of the "real Hillary") and her husband's speech in 92 or the verbatim lifting of phrases from John Edwards closing statements from earlier in the campaign let alone call it plagiarism.

Is Obama supposed to pretend that she didn't support NAFTA? Is he supposed to give her credit for service she won't even make a matter of public record until after 2009? Is he supposed to grovel for approval from her when she tosses out "xerox" statements that someone probably wrote for her (sorry, much more apt criticism for the woman whose lifted every aspect of her campaign from the working strategies of others)? No; and his willingness to not drag out her anti union record (which the press helped bury hours after that story broke) and to not hammer her in the debates about her unwillingness to release the records of her service or dwell on the scandals of her past have shown his innate chivalry and commitment to changing the country's expectations with regard to the people they elect to lead them.

We tend to remember the Clinton name with fondness for better times in this country, but let's not forget that while their may not be "anything new" for her opponents to dig up; there certainly was plenty of old stuff that failed to paint her or Bill in a kinder light. Someone less chivalrous might might remind people of that or question her legislative record, and ask her why, historically speaking, she has trouble winning support for the bills she proposes, or ask her why she's charging her own campaign interest on the loan she offered them to keep them afloat. Someone less kind would call her out on her manipulation of her more "feminine" moments and the timing of her vicious attacks as they seem bullyish and more hit and run than direct challenges that a courageous player would make face to face with an opportunity to settle the matter before a crowd who can see the matter through before they vote.

Hillary has been blessed with every advantage, and Barack has had to work hard everyday to achieve the success he currently enjoying. She would show more grace and strength and forward the cause of women more effectively by comporting herself with more dignity than her childish antics offer now with every quack of her campaign.

Maria Teres   February 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Some years ago, CNN's new president fired Tucker Carlson , saying CNN is not FOX News talking their agenda. CNN was a more trusted news source before. CNN showed both sides and let them argue. We could listen to both sides and made our own opinions.
Now , CNN has been becoming their agenda talker.

matthew Brimo   February 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

tsk tsk tsk hilary…drop out now and save your self and the party from humiliation.

Jenny   February 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Is this what Clinton's presidency would be like? He hasn't gone negative BECAUSE everything he's said has been truthful. Clinton has been deceptive and very untruthful about Obama. What about those mailers she sent out that were entirely false and misleading? You can look it up on factcheck.org, they were COMPLETELY false. But he didn't have a press conference where he stood up and started screaming. In fact, I don't think he addressed them.

Clinton Supporters: Get over your "biased" theory. CNN is not biased. You know what's happening? The Clinton camp CANNOT run a consistent, clean, truthful campaign and no matter how nicely the media reports what she's doing, it doesn't come off positive because it isn't.

What Wolfson said up there: all made up. Completely false, completely misleading, just like Clinton.

Oh yeah, and I used to be a Clinton supporter.

Obama '08

Warren   February 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Jackson   February 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

I AGREE WITH THIS:
CNN and MSNBC have been trying to elect our president. We know how to vote in Texas its not for Obama.

Jake   February 25th, 2008 7:52 pm ET

I don't know why Hilary supporters are complaining of media bias! If the media reported on the dirty tricks campaign that she has been waging, then you'd see she her really crying and throwing temper tamtrums. She and her people are manipulative, conniving political agents that blatantly say anything in the hope that it will change the focus from her losing, I'm glad American Decomcratic voters are not that stupid they will follow her High School politics. Stop whinging for this woman, she does fine by herself!

James   February 25th, 2008 7:52 pm ET

People…people…people lets think. How can our future president be this aggressive toward an opponent? Hillary has gone too far. She should stop for heaven sake. God does not like ugly.

nyindependent   February 25th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

It's about time!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up koolaid drinkers before it's too late.

Who will be at fault when Obama makes it to the white house and falls flat on his face? Oh, I know….everyone else's. Because the new American Idol, Barack can't possibly be at fault. No, he's not just another politician who wants to get elected. No, not him.

Nader's got my vote!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harris   February 25th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

Why doesn't the media cover the FACT that Obama has all week long accused Hillary Clinton of supporting NAFTA and just today he said he wouldn't get rid of it. If that is not a double standard I don't know what is. Why doesn't the media cover that Obama himself has stated that "His Mailings" that quoted Hillary stating the NAFTA was a "Boon" was untrue and should have never been circulated but they still were. Wasn't it Obama who stated in the last debate that it is now "Silly Season" for politics. This is reminisent of 2000 when George Bush ran for president. I have this feeling the American people are going to elect Obama and we are in for another 4 years of getting shafted. Young voters should ask themselves if whether they are ready to handle not only the problems that haven't come up yet but the problems that Bush is leaving to our next president. That's 12 years of problems if Obama is president.

Sarah   February 25th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

Clinton thinks she should be appointed President, never mind what the voters think. This is getting pathetic. Such Gutter politics. Should anyone expect anything less?

Tim   February 25th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

ahhhh… poor Hillary!

A:) Obama doesn't have as much baggage as Hill-Billy, because he hasn't been in office as much. She has loads of baggage that needs to come out now instead of when she might be the nominee and the republicans get ahold of her.

B:) Hillary goes on these "fire and brimstone" "scare tactics" speeches and says stupid things and does stupid things and has her cronies say stupid things. No wonder she can't keep a lead in a state…. she is killing herself from the inside. Its actually sad to see a campaign implode and wear itself out. She really must be grasping at and straw she can get.

By the way, its moments like when she mocks Obama that people are tired of "old Washington politics" and are voting for change…. a complete change.

Take the high road, Obama. Don't stoop to her low level!

maureen   February 25th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

I've always voted for the Democratic candidate.
I will never- ever- ever- ever vote for Obama.
Never-Ever!
Hillary or nobody!

Scott   February 25th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

While I agree that it may look like CNN is more biased toward Obama, can one of you Hillary supporters please show me a few examples where Obama has initiated an attack on Clinton that wasn't a direct response to a smear attempt by her campaign?

sf   February 25th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

If NBC Universal can elect McCain or a Republican like, in my view, they elected Arnold in California, they would be two for two. If NBC can knock off Hillary, the path is easier for a GOP to win the White House. I enjoyed Huckabee on SNL, nice VP name recognition for him. Is Maria Shriver still a correspondent for NBC News? I saw Brokaw talking about how he introduced the Gov. & Shriver on Arnold's announcement show, the Tonight Show. Jay was at Arnolds victory party when he was elected. Wake up people.
NBC & CNN have got Hillary writing her concession speech while she's up in the polls in Texas & Ohio. Please Dems, nominate "Barry Obama". There can be a nice McGovern moment in November when the GOP "swift boat" a nominee that hasn't been in federal office for four ? years. Did Obama's wife say she "wasn't proud of the U.S.?" I don't know. McCain would have a good time with that comment. Good luck Dems! & the NBC Universal media.

Warren   February 25th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Pat, Salem VA   February 25th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Billary started the negativity way back in SC with the "Fairy tale" ploy and the playing the race card with the comparison of Senator Obama to Jesse Jackson…so there's absolutely no point in the Clinton campaign whining and moaning now that they're getting a good dose of their own medicine.

If she can dish it out…she certainly ought to be woman enough to take it!!!!

Lisa   February 25th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Blame the media?

So John Mccain get attacked on lobbyying charges he blames the media.

George Bush gets attacked for being a terrible president, he blames the media.

Hillary Clinton spends 100,000 dollars on luxuries in a losing campaign and she blames the media.

Barack Obama gets attacked for inexperience, being a "muslim", every word that sounds "racist" by Michelle Obama, not Being "patriotic" and so on, and he soldiers on.

Honestly folks Hillary SHOULD have sealed this up on February 5th, Obama is just a BETTER candidate.

georgia dem   February 25th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

CNN should get a big check from Obama
for all the press he gets
Obama is very negitive and says alful things but " the worst political
team" eats it up
with the excepton of Lou Dobbs
he does not let them get away with it on his show
Obama is a very hateful man

Scott   February 25th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

ill just say here that I agree, CNN is airing twice as much Obama coverage as Clinton coverage. Didn't anyone else fall asleep the other night during that 44 minute pat myself on the back speech Obama gave after the primary wins. CNN analysts even said it got to the point of boring them and they almost forgot the speech entirely by the time it was over. Thanks for the nap CNN, I think it was wrong for you to just cut away from Clinton's speech that night and then play the 44 minutes of Obama's preaching in its entirety before then coming back to just play some clips from Clintons speech.

rw in ct   February 25th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

It is about time!!! Where have they been all these months as the public has been crying out against the media bias? Why haven't they leveled the playing field before?

California Voter   February 25th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Tony, ca   February 25th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

good grief, Howard

if this is what 35 years of superior experience gets us, then we are better off without it

I'm looking forward to having a president that we can once again ADMIRE –both for his eloquent speaking abilities AND his ability to put his good words to good actions as demonstrated in the here and now, not in yesterday or tomorrow

let's be real.
vote Obama

jdusek   February 25th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Uh, yeah…CNN is so biased towards Obama that they didn't even bother to include a rebuttal to Clinton's allegations or fact check the accuracy of Wolfson's statements. They just printed Wolfson's one-sided comments with no analysis or response from Obama. How UNFAIR to Clinton!

Avis C, Richton Park,IL   February 25th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I'm really getting tired of Hillary Clinton's talking heads!

Enough already, let it go! Hillary you looked and sound ridiculous!

This is sad, really sad!

Desperate tactics.
Desperate candidate.
Desperate campaign.

maya   February 25th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I actually agree with him. I've thought this also for a long time. Obama is veeeery subtle about it- but he has always built up his entire campaign on bringing Hillary down. It's the whole premise of his campaign- she's too divisive- old politics-etc. He may be more sneaky doing it, but he sure is doing it!!!

Baloo   February 25th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

If she'll use fear to win, how will we ever trust her? She's planning to be our leader, yet using fear tactics to control us. Wow… lost my vote.

Denise   February 25th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Mr. Wolfson is right. The Media has ignored the negative campaigning from Mr. Obama towards Hillary Clinton. I don't think it surprises anyone that SNL got it right – all the difficult questions were addressed to Hillary Clinton on the last debate and all the other debates as well.

CARL   February 25th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

if obama is elected we will see another dumb fazzled george bush.

jen-in-ca   February 25th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I agree. The media has done everything to put Hillary down. I wonder if it is because she is a strong woman. Men have a problem with a strong woman. Look at what they did to Martha Stewart. I believe that men are afraid to let the go of the reigns and let women lead. Funny that a woman has the most important job in the world, raising children, yet are kept back from getting a head in business. Women can balance their home,children, career,spouse,family and friends, yet they are still considered to be less intelligent then men. Behind every sucessful man there is a strong, intelligent woman who has been there to support them and be their sound board.
Why is it a married man listens to his Wife? Because she is the one who controls the house.

The media has been a huge disappointment in this election. I thought news is supposed to be neutural and give the people the facts to make up their own mind. I guess the media feels like the government in thinking that we the people need to be told how to think.
I can only tollerate to watch the news for minutes at a time due to the extream bias it has fallen into.

I want my news back. Fair and equal information. I want journalist back to reporting what is important again not the tabloid, rating grabing crap we've been fed. Please put back the integity in news business before it's too late.

Obamacan   February 25th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Mr Wolfson…..it is okay to cry…crying is good. Crying lets out the pressure. Go ahead and let it all out.

This is looking pathetic….lol

Chris L Johnson   February 25th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Sure Hillary… have your campaign management lash out against and piss off the press. See what good that does you. LOL

Not bright…

HOLY COW   February 25th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

YIKES, WHAT A CORRUPT SLIME THIS WOLSON GUY IS.
This is WAY beyond spin. This guy is stupefyingly obscene. The feeling of violation from such conscious bold-faced lying is pretty painful. If this were just a TV show, I'd burst out laughing. Since its real, it makes me sick. Ew!

jdusek   February 25th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I like this new Clinton strategy. Attack Obama's credibility and character, then turn around and deny that you are doing it. Meanwhile, insist that it is actually Obama who is going negative, and that you are the victim of unfair tactics. When pressed for examples, blame the media and accuse them of favoritism.

Tim, Boston MA   February 25th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Hillary is nOT part of establishment?

where has she been for the 32 years of her EXPERIENCE?

Bill didn't get millions for his library from a multinational corporate (canadian guy) for his advocacy on behalf of that corporate interest and a despot in kazakstan?

what's chelsea doing at the wall street?

can't have it both ways.

Paul   February 25th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Come on Mr. Wolfson. They're just words, after all.

Brent   February 25th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

The Clinton campaign is in a state of disarray and growing more desperate by the hour…on Thursday in Austin Clinton is talking about how "proud" and "honored" she is to be on stage with Obama..two days later she admonishes Obama for running a dirty campaign….what is unfolding is the colossal collapse of a campaign that was Clinton's for the taking just a few months ago… Howard Wolfson should stop whining and start working on his resume.

Thank you Howard Wolfson for pointing out the Obvious. Im glad that SNL called CNN out. CNN is the most biased network in this nomination election. CNN LOVES OBAMA!!! GUESS WHAT CNN, OBAMA IS LOOSING STEAM, YOU BETTER HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE COUNTING ON YOU CNN!!!! Even your titles are biased. Here is a headline for Obama, "OBAMA SLAMS THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN" vs a headline for Clinton, 'CLINTON ACCUSES THE OBAMA CAMP". We have already noticed CNN, this is why many of Obama supporters are starting the gravitate to Clinton because they have realized that Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Marilyn Jeffcoat   February 25th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Action speaks louder that word. In other words, Hillary's words and actions speaks louder than words and action Is she still crying? She started all this mess. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. She has made a fool of herself and the people all over this world knows this.

mmm   February 25th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Finally! The coverage is so bias and the Obama supporters or so rude and mean that it really feels creepy. I know I'm not the only one who see's this….. I've already sent her more money.
Go Hillary!!!!!

Rignt On!   February 25th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

I think the Clinton campaign has been too darned nice! They should have hit back hard a long time ago, But better late than never — please keep it up! We're all sick of St. Obama!

Ann Kuminns   February 25th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

The desperation of Hillary has made her ru n a campaign of fear. Look at the pictures she has put out of Obama when he accepted the cloak and headgear from an african elder. It's a sign of respect to accept these costumes and that's just what it is – a costume. Now you can really see the true character of the Clintons to destroy whatever goodwill has been built between the races of this nation. She should be ostracized and cast aside for these destructive tactics. Such a low-down character should Never be president of any country. NEVER!

Young Liberal   February 25th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Here is the effect this story will have, the Hillary supporters will be in an uproar of excitement and talk about how horrible Obama is (read the comments), Obama supporters will laugh at it, and the undecided voters, the votes that will get the candidates elected, will look at it and think "wow, Hillary is a little cry baby!" and then vote for Obama.

becca   February 25th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

it is so true – clinton said that obama's fliers were false and it gets tons of coverage, but he says that she's unlikable, uncredible, everything stated above, no one cares.

he smarmily remarks at the debate, "you're likeable enough, hillary" or when he downplayed clinton's meeting with then prime minister benazir bhutto as "having tea."

Eric   February 25th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Its about time!! The Obama campaign has been playing dirty for a long time now. The media is so obviously in favor of Obama. Every time the Clinton campaign says anything the media immediately criticizes them. But Obama and his campaign workers can sit around all day and slander Cinton's name but yet the media applauds him every single time. My question is there some sort of Oprah connection and the media and maybe thats why Obama never gets bad press.
Wake up America, if you can't see this you are obviously blindsided by a sly player who doesn't play fair. His name is Barack Obama. I pity the democratic party and the media for putting this man on a pedestal. Guess what America yet again a Republican is going to win the white house and this time the democrats have no one else to blame but themselves. Instead of admiring and praising a woman who truly deserves it , the democrats stand around and praise a nobody who is so obviously full of empty promises and trash Clinton around the clock for no apparent reason.

Shame on you, CNN. Meet me in Ohio to debate your tactics in this campaign.

United We Stand   February 25th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Is someone keeping track of the numbers of allegations the Clinton camps is levelling per minute?
Wow! Charity does begin at home. If she cannot keep a good campaign and also control Bill (from himself), will she be able to handle the multi ethnic composition of America?
Say goodbye now and save your face, Hillary.

Jordan Fitzpatrick   February 25th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Wolfson, as usual, misses the point. The reason Obama isn't criticized is that Obama isn't lying! Also, Obama calls her out on the issues– it's Hillary who has been making things personal. If this is how she runs a campaign, I don't trust her with our country. Hillary is behaving in a very unpresidential manner.

Mitul   February 25th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Hillary must be very rude politicain…She can cross any limit…She is just showing that how fast she can turn into her real character…You better leave Hillary

Simon   February 25th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

i tell ya the more hillary attacks obama with his personal attributes the more she goes down

Beverly Griggs   February 25th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

i don't usally comment on the political party, I am a 53 year old black woman and wanted to see the first woman in office but after w I've seen the comment and the photo on Cnn broadcast I will be voting for Obama on March 4th. i've seen the dirt that goes on in the political running and by all that was ditastefuland unnecessay.

connie   February 25th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

I have been witness to the media praising obama and really hitting hillary. It is not fair and not professional. I will NOT watch chris matthews or that tucker character becz they come off as male chavanistic men! I think that most men,especially "media men" find hillary very threatening becz , gee she can actaully think and speak on her feet. Obama cannot do any of this.

klondike   February 25th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Although it may be true that the press seems "nicer" to Barack… …if Barack were in the situation that Hillary is in wouldn't they have pushed him to get out… Instead of saying …"if he wins this…no wait …if he wins this… no still if she/he wins this… and move the bar …and move the bar…wouldn't they have ignored Barack if he was in the same situation as Clinton?

…and maybe I am wrong but Barack's attacks seem to focus on issue and policy issues… not race…not gender… and not negative toward the people who are voting for Hillary. I think… trying to look at it from a step back.

Christopher   February 25th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Wolfson's is the rant of a campaign gone pitifully bad. For several weeks Clinton had covertly and overtly attempted to go negative in this campsign. I am fed up with her brand of have her cake and eait it too politics. These tactics appear to be fine for her when she is wiining. However, the tru e test of someone's character is how they conduct themselves when they are dowe.

Obama in '08 and beyond.

"Darling" Obama   February 25th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Boy, do I ever agree that the media has been absolutely shoddy in its coverage of Hillary Clinton. I hope they get theirs! Certainly, my respect for CNN, especially, is virtually non existent at this point. Shame on you!

Thing is, it's true. I'm voting against Hillary and I know that.

pbj   February 25th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

When all else fails, blame the press coverage.

Say goodnight, Hillary — and good riddance. Take your serial adulterer husband and go back to NY, where he can cheat on you there and you can figure out some other reason to put up with his disrespect and emotional abuse other than as your ticket to fame and glory. If you want to set a good example for women in this country, have some dignity and self-respect and leave him. Then I'd consider voting for you.

Deb   February 25th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I hope the media does not get intimidated by Hillary and her lethal operatives in Washington. This has been the first time in a long time that the press has removed much of the editorial reporting that people dislike and kept the facts in tact and in context! Keep up the good work. Let's get America back on track. We need you.

Joe Ossai, Bedford, NH   February 25th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Hillary campain finally won a contest in a state, STATE OF DENIAL

Tom   February 25th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Hillary was honored to be with Obama the other night – now she is angrily scolding him (her latest new persona). The Clinton camp is blaming the media, the caucuses, and his outspending them for their troubles. Can they be more transparent? Do people really fall for this act? I am a New Yorker and have seen and heard it all from her (and Bill). Please don't be fooled.

armando perez   February 25th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I agree with your statement. I have had a friend who never watched elections until this year and Jason my friend has made the same statement. It is a double standard with the media. I have to say that the only one that is being fair and balanced is Dan Abrams on CNN.What can we do to make sure this can't go on?

akaDoug   February 25th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Boo hoo…those poor, poor Clinton folk!

Another example of the Clinton team not taking responsibility for the mistakes they've made and trying to put the blame on someone else! Agree with NAFTA blame Bush 41, don't read the Iraq war resolution and give authority to go to war blame Bush 43, smear Obama blame the media, run a terrible campaign blame the media, say health insurance is a mandate but she won't make people pay but she really will, blame the media. She blames everyone but herself and she can't admit a mistake!

One of these days she'll look back and realize there were a lot of us that would have supported her in the beginning, but she blew us off…we weren't worthy of her! Now my support and money go to the better candidate!

Go Obama!

J   February 25th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

wait, is he being serious?

karen   February 25th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

yes they both have attacked each other but obama is praised and hillary is considered a witch. i have looked at both candidates and hillary by far has more to offer as our president with the problems that we have today. we need to get to know obama a little more before putting him in commander in chief. she has a resume of accomplishments. he has hopes and dreams. which are good but not good enough. most anyone can get up there and inspire others with words. the way that obama is getting praised is also turning many against him. may not be fair but true. i hope hillary can pull this off. all we can do is pray for the best candidate.

Crystal in CA   February 25th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

OMGawd! This throwing the rock and hiding your hand has got to stop with the Hillary campaign. It has gotten completely out of hand. I am convinced that the people who support Hillary are EXACTLY like her and that's why they can't see how mean-spirited, vindictive and calculating she is. She can't just hit Obama and expect Obama not to hit her back because she is a girl. This is politics, not the playground Hillary.

I wish you would just go away already. You have already done enough damage to the democratic party with your divisive and win at any cost tactics. Just go away. PLEASE…for the good of the party.

Beth   February 25th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Is it backwards day, Mr. Wolfson?

This is what we call "projection" in psychology.

John in CA   February 25th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Thank you, Wolfson, for finally calling Obama out, and thank you, CNN, for posting this. Wolfson is completely correct in his statement: Obama has been quite negative ever since the beginning.

I'm sick and tired of Obama playing negative and pointing the finger at Hillary as if he's better than the rest of politics.

Saad   February 25th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

The media hasn't been giving Hillary a bad image. Hillary has been giving Hillary a bad image. Just look at her behaviour the past few days. Enough is enough Hillary, America wants Obama. Face it!

Yeswecan   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

She is messing up the chances democrats have for Nov by being so divisive and I see an example in myself. She is polarazing the democrats. I can never imagine my president using words like "shame on you" for a colleague. Honestly, I find Bush better than her.

jen   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Wolfson speaks the truth. Obama's mantra on Clinton is a negative attack. "She'll do anything, say anything?" that's the most vile divisive slogan ever and Obama supporters and the press have swallowed it hook line and sinker and refused to see for what it is.

Jim Wagner   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Well, it is true – and CNN, you've been one of the worst – but I see now the tide is turning and the press is on to attacking Obama now. Build someone up to tear them down – only make the same rules apply – nothing is prohibited, not his appearance or middle name, his ties to Rezko or Rezko's ties to the Middle East. For those who don't get news from other sources, Patrick Fitzgerald (the guy who prosecuted Scooter Libby) is prosecuting Obama's "good friend" Rezko for bribery and other related issues, the trial begins March 3rd.

Jay Nair   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

The wily campaign of the Clintonites is now rising to a crescendo. The "shame on you ,Barack Obama" shriek by Hollary and today's publishing of photo of Obama in Kenyan tribal costume are the worst Goebbelism tactics ever by a primary candidate. It is high time the senioras stepped in and boycottedsuch persons even if she/he be a past First lady/President.

Linda Feldman   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

The truth is always negative when you cannot accept it.

Jim, American in Paris   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

This seems to be the consensus also among people commenting on the CNN ploliticalticker.

Joe   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

I honestly am in tears right now over how low Hillary is sinking. I'm honestly even losing respect for her supporters for not seeing how hypocritical and cruel she is just because she's a woman.

Tom   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Hillary was honored to be with Obama the other night – now she is angrily scolding him (her latest new persona). The Clinton camp is balming the media, the caucuses, and his outspending them for their troubles. Can they be more transparent? Do people really fall for this act. I am a New Yorker and have seen and heard it all from her (and Bill). Please don't be fooled.

Nick, Rochester, NY   February 25th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Barack is perceived as the Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity candidate and is therefore judged differently (like it has become typical in this country for highschool graduations, college admissions and career promotions).

Emy   February 25th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Boohoo.. Hillary's campaign and her supporters says the whole world and the media are biased against her !!!

Well thats the way its works in a democracy, people make up the minds and get biased and select one candidate among others…

Thats why its called and election..not coronation..

Hillary, (as Truman said), if you dont like the the heat..get out of the kitchen …

Debra   February 25th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

i agree with howard wolfson. obama has said all those things and more about hillary clinton. hillary has tried to stay on the right track by not going negative…she is smart enough to know that it will get her nowhere, at this point in the race. and, for the media to ask why she is going negative when she is only trying to set the record straight about obama's campaign tactics regarding these flyers…well, i feel that is grossly unfair to her. obama can "do no wrong", according to the media. i would like to see the media conduct fair coverage and analysis on these two candidates.

Mk   February 25th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Alls fair in love, war , and politics.

Daniel from Kansas   February 25th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

CNN won't smear Obama, so Billary is mad.

Blame anyone but herself!

HILLARY CLINTON, SHAME ON YOU FOR YOUR UGLY, GUTTER POLITICS OF HATE, FEAR, AND DIVISIVENESS.

YOU ARE THE VERY WORST, MOST DISGUSTING POLITICIAN TO EVER WALK THE FACE OF PLANET EARTH!

Todd from AZ   February 25th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

When Bill Clinton had his tirade after the South Carolina primaries Clinton adviser James Carville told Obama supporters to "stop whining" Maybe Clinton supporters should do just that!!!

Richard Gasquet   February 25th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

This is complete non-sense. The Clinton campaign is basically creating a smoke-screen for all the negative campaigning that they've been doing/intend to do. What is an example of Obama making "personal" attacks against Hillary? And to be quite honest, the media has clearly adopted quite a pro-Hillary posture after the Clinton campaign's consistent complains that the press coverage is in favor of Obama. Had Hillary won 11 straight contests, we'd see how favorable the coverage would be for her.

When you win, that garners coverage. When 20,000 people pack arenas for your rallies, that leads to press coverage…common sense

joe m.   February 25th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

will mr. wolfson soon blame the voters if the results of march 4th does not turn out in their favor? the clinton camp, through mr. wolfson, has been playing the blame game for the last few days. can this camp just talk about the facts, as boring as it may be at times?

Simon   February 25th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

funny! seems like obama had the most positive campaign ever in the history of american politics

ade   February 25th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Dear Howard Wolfson,

Truth is very bitter, especially to losers!

Vanessa C.   February 25th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

YES!!! Finally, someone has the guts to come out and say it. I completely agree with what Howard Wolfson is quoted as saying here. The Obama Campaign HAS called her divisive, called her "the establishment candidate," has accused her of falsehoods (i.e. called her a liar), and accused her of being racist, or at least "race-baiting." If the press would like to characterize Senator Clinton's campaign as negative, then the same should be said of Senator Obama. Period.

TR   February 25th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

You should read Michelle Obama racially charged comments! This is not what we need in the White house!
Here it is:

She said she found that black students came together while on the mostly white campus.

"It is possible that Black individuals either chose to or felt pressured to come together . . . because of the belief that Blacks must join in solidarity to combat a White oppressor," she wrote.

After releasing that photo, you have no right to complain.

Vikki, Tennessee   February 25th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

SO TRUE! I'm sick of the bias media! If you're going to report that Hillary is being negative be fair and equally report the same, Obama has been negative for months!

HILLARY 08 & 12!

Thomas   February 25th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Here is a fact I would like to see reported to see if its true or not: I read two blogs that say Obama is being charged LESS to advertise on TV then Hillary. Both blogs are saying 1/3 less… Can we confirm or deny this please CNN?

Aaron Harris   February 25th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

I think the media has given Hillary a bad image. Even before Super Tuesday, all the major news outlets have, for some reason, favored Obama with praise, positive coverage, and have all but annointed him as the nominee. Perhaps the media wants to back the winner and they feel that it is going to be him…even so…give Hillary credit when credit is due!

kw   February 25th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

It's accurate. And you do know what negative is. Your candidate has shown that.

ELO   February 25th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

I think Hillary will get respect from the Democrats if she resigns right now instead of looking for who to blame. It is a done deal. The public is not feeling you. The Citizens and the whole world needs a new face and there is nothing you can do about it. Obama 08!

Adam - TX   February 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

He's talking to you CNN – show some objectivity! Even SNL called you out.

Shame on you, Barack Obama, and shame on your CNN. Stop trying to swift boat. Let this play out like it should. You even titled this ticker as "SLAMS" which has a negative attacking connotation.

Royalty   February 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Funny how all this negative talk starts to happen after she engages new campaign staff. I was a Hillary supporter until I started seeing what I DO NOT want to see in the White House. Hillary has been far more personally negative towards Obama than Obama has been towards her. We will all now see how low she will go now. Up until the last few days I was going to vote for her if she won the nomination. I will not vote for her now.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   February 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Hillary's campaign gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar and then like kids point and say Obama did it, not so. I can see now Wolfson will be seeing his way out of Hillary's campaign. Vote Obama.

Yeah Right   February 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

"I think he has run against her as the status quo, he has essentially called her divisive, he has called her untruthful, he has questioned her credibility, he has said she will do and say anything to get elected,"

If it looks like a duck…

Cris in Texas   February 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

We have been yealling that off the top of our lungs CNN.

Saturday Night Live got right about you guys that is why I have not seen you cover this story of SNL mocking you guys. MSNBC has covered this story about you guys on SNL. SHAME ON YOU CNN!!!

Darth Vadik, CA   February 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Hillary,

the first rule when you're in a hole is….

..STOP DIGGING

T   February 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

This is Clinton's attempt to try and get the media to do what she can't do, at the risk of losing votes. SMEAR and ATTACK OBAMA.

SAD and TRANSPARENT

sonya   February 25th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

i would love to see cnn report on the praise obama recieved from farrahkan–practically an endorsement. everyone else seems to be reporting it….funny

Scott   February 25th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Sen. Clinton has now lost my vote, her behavior shows signs of a deeply troubled and vindictive person, not capable of running for the Nation's Greatest and Highest office. I thought Bush was a nut case she now takes the cake.

Lars Kristensen, Vamdrup, Denmark   February 25th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Shame on Hillary…

Leslie Somerville, Seattle, Washington   February 25th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

I totally agree, and Obama should be ashamed of himself!!!! He is an aloof, arrogant, liar who twists and turns as issues come up. I would actually like him to answer some of Ralph Nadar's questions that he has put out there for Obama. If Obama wins the Presidency this is going to be one pitiful, depressing nation we will be living in—he is splitting the democratic party apart by the seams.

lugina   February 25th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Media love OBAMA…CNN love OBAMA…SN LIVE….

Scott   February 25th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

We know Howard Wolfson gets paid a lot, but I wonder what the $/lie figure is. His kids must be proud of him. He spends his entire life lying for a candidate who America has rejected.

Clark   February 25th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

What is this? No body cares about Obama's dirty treacherous game
against Ms. Clinto*** He is using the same tactic as the Republicans
against democrats. This is very serious, UNACCEPTABLE neither the
Media nor the voters care about? This is a case to bring to court.
Lest not let Obama get away with his dirty actions. He is
missing leading against Ms. Clinton. OHIO, TEXAS and everyone of the
US states, CAN YOU SEE THAT THIS GUY IS A FAKE COPIER. He is copying
everything from somebody else. He is Xerox; he is a treacherous to
the democrat party. What is going on that no body sees this

beckstone   February 25th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Sen. Obama's entire campaign has been negative? Funny, I haven't noticed. I guess it's cause the press is just so unfair.

Georgia, Los Angeles   February 25th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

It's about TIME someone from the Clinton campaign fight back. That's wonderful! If Obama wins this nomination, CNN could take personal satisfaction from it. I've never seen more biased reporting from them!

Stephen   February 25th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

This is incredibly true, and should be brought to the forefront of issues. The media bias is apparent, and should be corrected.

Mike M   February 25th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Will   February 25th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

It's the Caucuses fault….it's the African Americans fault…it's everybody's fault except your own faulty Campaign that can't make or keep money or stay with a single slogan.
