(1). Saturday Night Live Obama-Clinton skit; I didn't see it
but everyone including Senator Clinton said that it was
a skit in her favor.
(2). This morning, 3/1/2008-C-SPAN ran a Clinton campaign
event; and will re-air it at 9PM EST. That's twice in prime time.
C-SPAN will run Obama's rally at 8PM EST; and has made no announcement
about re-air; so Clinton's rallies in this instance will run in prime
twice as many times as Obama's.
(3). In the mean time on Tim Russert's MSNBC show
at 4PM, MST, he had guests, Clinton supporter Dee Dee Myers,
AP's Ron Fournier, and Mary Matlin, married to a Clinton Supporter.
So on a program that airs three or four times all day during Saturday,
in prime time, 3/1/2008, Russert's, you have in effect, 2 or more Clinton supporters,
and no Obama supporters.
This amounts to free blanket coverage on MSNBC all day long
for Hillary Clinton.
****
I want to be fair here; C-SPAN in the past has run black events
many times when no other netwrok would; and I truly commend them.
And. MSNBC has at least two hosts who have been extremely fair; Olberman
is always right on the money and Chuck Todd nails the numbers before any one else does.

All I'm saying is that in this instance, going down to the wire; Clinton is getting
more favorable treatment than Obama.
