Hillary Clinton - Did Media Write Clinton Out Of Race
A report by the Project for Excellence in Journalism has documented that during the
last two months of the Democratic primary campaign in April and May, the television
networks devoted more time to speculation about when Hillary Clinton would call it
quits than about the candidates' positions on Iraq, the mounting price of gasoline, home
foreclosures or the economy. Referring to the study, former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw
told the Associated Press that it was "inappropriate" for journalists "to try to
cut the process short. ... There was an awful lot of commentary disguised as reporting
that gave the impression that people were trying to shove her out of the race." Apparently
referring to the campaign coverage by the cable news networks, Brokaw blamed the
decision to focus on Clinton's possible exit on the availability of "too much time and
too little imagination."
