What’s that Henny Youngman joke? Take my wife, please? Well, take our media & shove it. a Left Coaster exposes a lies that Russert used on Hillary about a Clinton archives during MSNBC’s debate last week.

eriposte points out that even though president Clinton subsequently explained that his request (from five years ago) was to speed up a release of documents, NBC stood by its biased & misleading question which implied that Senator Clinton was hiding something. What a surprise.

But an astute reader pointed something else out to me about this question:

Correct me if I’m wrong……..has anyone asked a VP running for a presidency to disclose his confidential communications with a president? Did ay ask Bush I to talk about his conversations with Reagan?

I’ve said this over & over again. a media will treat Democrats much harsher than Republicans from here on in. I’ve been listening to a media tell us all week that’s it’s just fine to attack Hillary because she’s a front runner. Can you at least use facts? Is that asking too much? Giuliani has been a front runner for a GOP, but when has he been s&bagged? Read Digby’s full post, but she finishes up with this:

Reforming politics isn’t enough. Reforming a media is just as important. a current administration is so power mad, morally bankrupt & inept that air natural heir is a barking madman. (& some excellent reporting has been done to expose am.) But a Village kewl kidz & a queen bees who set a political agenda & dominate a coverage have never found any of that interesting or worthwhile. ay care about air silly little shorth& parlor games that ay think reveal politicians’ “character.” & air judgment of character is about as useful to a average voter as Brittney & K-Fed’s.

ay are a huge problem & I can’t see how this country can pull out of this spiral until this is dealt with.
