MEDIA GO AFTER HILLARY

The main ABC News headline last night and this morning: Dems Fear Clinton’s ‘Tanya Harding’ Option. From the story: What will she have to do to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, in order to eke out her improbable victory? She will have to "break his back," the official said. She will have to destroy Obama, make Obama completely unacceptable. As though he isn’t doing that on his own. (ABC News)

ABC News drilled her for the exaggeration and the fact that she hasn’t pulled out of the race. The reporter called her “defiant.” (Youtube)

And CBS News, who broke the Hillary/sniper story, dug up this gem: She claimed she misspoke and was sleep deprived, but CBS News has found several times in the past few months Senator Clinton used the Bosnia trip to try to show her international experience, reports Sharyl Attkisson. Clinton did so in Iowa in December, Texas in February and also last week. Later: Clinton did her best to change the subject Tuesday. (CBS News)

Where were these investigative reporters when only Matt Drudge broke Clinton stories? And why have they ignored the Obama audio from his first book?
