Poll: More Respondents Find Hillary Clinton Coverage Fair
Pew Research Center Sees 58% of March Respondents Say Coverage of N.Y. Senator and Presidential Candidate is Fair, vs. 48% in February; Obama Numbers Steady
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 3/6/2008 11:10:00 AM
The surge appears to be working.
That would be the surge of complaints by the Clinton campaign that media coverage of the campaign had been unfair, giving Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) a much easier time than Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).
According to a Pew Research Center poll of 1,000 adults 18-plus, while 48% of respondents in a February poll said the coverage of Clinton was fair, that number rose to 58% by March.
But while Obama did start getting some more media scrutiny -- of an aide's comments about NAFTA and Obama's own Chicago land dealings -- the public did not appear to notice.
Asked if the coverage of Obama was too tough, 8% said yes in February and the percentage didn't change in March. In fact, the percentage of people who thought the coverage was fair was the same 58% for both candidates, although that was a 3% drop for Obama February to March as opposed to Clinton's 10% boost.
Coverage of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) got even higher fairness marks at 64% in March (63% in February).
The vast majority of survey respondents said they wanted more coverage of domestic-policy (78%) and foreign-policy (74%) positions, with only 35% saying they needed more coverage of the horse race -- i.e. who is leading in the polls.
The campaign and economy have also pushed the war in Iraq down the nation's news-agenda list, with 47% of the survey group saying the campaign was the story they followed most closely, 17% the economy and only 12% saying it was Iraq.

What a confusing poll to try and do.
If Hillary Clinton is being mistreated by the media, Barack Obama
supporters are not going to agree.
Barack Obama cheated in the caucus state votes and has yet to be
asked that question on camera. I'm waiting for someone out there to
make a name for themselves to get Barack Obama to point his finger at
the camera and say, "I did not cheat in the caucus state elections"....
The Triangulation Strangulation of Hillary Clinton has been done by
most of the CNN coverage (except for Lou Dobbs), virtually all of the
MSNBC coverage, and Huffington Post. These three entities have been
feeding off of each other, quoting each other, for several months, with
the goal of slamming Hillary Clinton and exalting Barack Obama.
I've started to cite examples on my blogs.

That is totally ridiculous. Example, Thursday passport-gate was the crime
of the century (Countdown one hour special without commercials). Friday
when we found out that Clinton's and Mccain's files were breached, it was
no big deal. Saturday when we found out that an adviser from the Obama
camp was the CEO of the company that was involved, it was never mind.
Today when Clinton was giving a major speech on the economy, CNN's
Ticker, Obama at the beach. Don't tell me this has been fair.

THIS IS YOUR HILLARY!
Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on her "record," which she says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or "co-president" - and her seven years in the Senate. Here is a reminder of what that record includes:
- As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key votes were needed to pass her legislation, that she would "demonize "anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.)
- Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their names from consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as "my worst mistake."
- Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.
