This guy's distaste for Clinton was barely concealed as he essentially tells millions of American viewers that "Hillary" doesn't have a chance and "<i>Senator</i> Obama" will sweep his way to victory. I think a lot of people aren't even realizing the effects that their language has on the framing of the campaign for audiences. I think a lot do, though, and are actively attempting to sway public opinion to align with their own. It hurts to watch. i was going to blog a few days ago on media and election bandwagoning. i was driven into a tizzy by some democratic something-or-other on some news station we were picking up in Hobart.
