I have great respect for Bob Scheiffer because in my opinion
he tends to be fair over the course of many years; so this is not a knock on him; but on the
producers, editors of the show.
Dodd and Bayh were excellent; and each represented
their candidate fairly.
Richardson was extremely evenhanded; and should be commended.
So how can an evenly produced show still favor Clinton?
Here's how:
The show led with Clinton's SNL skit which favors Clinton,
and ended with Richardson, though fair to both sides,
is still more closely associated with Clinton.
So a program which appears on the surface to be fair
favors Clinton in the set up of the show.
Notice that Obama is not complaining about this,
but on the otherhand, despite overwhelming evidence to
the contrary, Senator Clinton makes the false claim
that media favors Obama.
