Media Follies.

Even as Clinton continues to hang in there and be essentially tied with Obama, the media, desperate for an Obama-McCain showdown, keep writing her off. This "report" is about the gender card.

This article is an unbelievable piece of crap:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is now in what most agree are the waning days of her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. To use her own phrase, she has been running “to break the highest and hardest glass ceiling” in American life, and now the presidency, or even a nomination that once seemed to be hers to claim, seems out of reach.

Who says these are the "waning days" of her campaign? WHO is "most"?

Along with the usual post-mortems about strategy, message and money, Mrs. Clinton’s all-but-certain defeat brings with it a reckoning about what her run represents for women: a historic if incomplete triumph or a depressing reminder of why few pursue high political office in the first place.

"All-but-certain defeat"? Let's see, she won Indiana, she won West Virginia, she won Pennsylvania, she won ALL of the states that matter in the fall except for Obama's home state of Illinois which she would win anyway, and the ONLY reason Obama has more delegates at all is because of the outrageous apportionment of delegates, the gaming of the caucus system (note yesterday's Nevada State convention should have given her MORE delegates, NOT fewer than the caucus loser), and crossover voting by Republicans and independents in open primary contests. Yet she is considered "defeated."

Unbelievable bullshit from the mainstream media who KNOW the Audacity of Hype can't win at all against the media sweetheart McCain.

The answers have immediate political implications. If many of Mrs. Clinton’s legions of female supporters believe she was undone even in part by gender discrimination, how eagerly will they embrace Senator Barack Obama, the man who beat her?

They won't. They will abandon him in droves, and he will lose all 50 states.

But sexism isn't even the main reason the media wants her out. It's that they believe that by driving her out, they will have defeated Bill Clinton once and for all. THAT'S what drove the media to hate Al Gore when he ran in 2000, and that is what is driving the attempted hounding of Hillary Clinton out of the race.

The media bias really should be a main focus, and should have been all along, in this campaign.
