Obama snubs Hillary?

Actually, only the media thinks this.

They happened to catch on tape Ted Kennedy reaching out to shake Hillary's hand, and Obama turning away at that moment.

He turned in response to a question someone behind him asked, but our media has to put a motive to this that "sells more papers."

Absolutely.

The media actually will determine who gets the nomination.

The polls they take reflect the public opinion they've created.

They even tell us how much weight this endorsement or that endorsement carries or doesn't carry.

I was pleased to see Obama have to talk himself out of a media misrepresentation, and the governor who asked him the question complain about the media's coverage of this.

I am not pleased that the media has done this sort of thing once more.

Obama was being a decent human being by allowing Ted Kennedy and her to have a few words without him hanging over their shoulders.

They've decided that John Edwards isn't going to make it, and they're ignoring. What ever happened to laws regarding equal time?

You're making that up as much as the media is making up the other soap opera drama. Obama said he didn't notice her cause he was distracted. How about we take him at his word?

The friggin media sure is making a soap opera out of this thing..They do more reporting on snubs, and name calling, that you cant tell if they are talking about the primary, or Brittneys custody battle..I noticed that they are starting to dial in on Romney and McCain's brat attacks now..What time does the Married with Children re-runs come on?

Al Bundy for President!!

It's despicable. They're the king makers, and they damn well know it. I'm about to start watching PBS and listening to NPR exclusively. If people would tune out on their infotainment, maybe they'd get back to journalism instead of gossip mongering.

Damn it! Did I miss some 'Clinton controlled media' anti-Obama spin today? Please be so kind as to post the 'Clinton-CNN' link so that I might catch up with my talking points...

Anyway... If this was at the FISA vote ordeal in the Senate on Monday, I watched Clinton v Obama the whole time, pretty closely, and they stayed a good 10 feet apart the whole time. i never saw either of them acknowledge the others presence, and after they were done sucking up camera time, trying to make themselves look like they were 'leaders', they beat feet.

No offense to any of you but you're all so quick to blame the media...how about you folks who are talking (gossiping) about something so unimportant and insignificant?
