Wolfson Says Tuzla Story Shows Media Bias

While Hillary Clinton's critics think her inaccurate account of a trip to Bosnia demonstrates a pattern of dishonesty, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson thinks that the running coverage of her Tuzla visit demonstrates a pattern of media hostility towards his employer.

"It's a very sort of illustrious moment in the campaign," said Wolfson, referring sarcastically to what he said was the press' distorted coverage of the Clinton campaign. He said, as an example, that there had been relatively little attention paid to a Washington Post article detailing Obama's embellishments of his role in drafting immigration reform and housing policy.

Phil Singer jumped in to list a few other apparent exaggerations by Obama, including a New York Times report that he had claimed too much credit for passing nuclear leak legislation which never got out of committee. Singer said that there was a "bizarre reluctance" on the part of the media to report further on those stories.

QUESTIONING HILLARY'S JUDGMENT. (not verified) says:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
QUESTIONING HILLARY'S JUDGMENT. ------

Would a responsible parent bring her then fifteen year-old teenage daughter into a "War Zone" as Hillary did on her now infamous 'Snipergate' trip to Bosnia in 1996. ??? If we believe any of Hillary's statements about this trip --- it was a "dangerous" a situation. --- WOULD YOU BRING YOUR CHILD INTO A DANGEROUS 'WAR ZONE' JUST TO GAIN SOME POLITICAL POINTS? --- Why is no one discussing this issue about Hillary's judgment? ---

Wolfson has got to be joking! There has been nonstop coverage of Rev. Wrigh's comments for the past two damn weeks on every cable news station. Is Wolfson suggesting that Clinton's LYING should go unnoted? "Misspoke" are you kidding me! My mommy would call that a bold face LIE! But I guess that should go in the book along with this Bill Clinton answer to a question: It depends on what your definition of is is.....

So tired of Wolfson's lies. He blames everyone but Hillary's
camp for everything that goes wrong. Mostly the media and Obama. The last is that Obama doesn't want states e.i. Mich. and Florida to vote. A blatant lie........ HE OBAMA never said that....... Maybe some of his surrogates did, but stop blaming OBAMA..People in Wash. love him because as they say HE IS A CLEAN CANDIDATE...... Everyone knows the Clintons
background.

I just wanted to say that I think the media covered the Jeremiah Wright story because it was to big to cover up, but for some reason, the media won't talk about things that Obama lies about.

Hillary states she remembers it clearly and then goes on to express so dramatically her sniper fire mayhem, and then you see the actual footage of her getting off the plane calmly and all smiles which depicts quite a Contrast and frankly shows her up for the (I'll be kind) Fabricator she is! That is why there is so much Media coverage on this and Because she has gotten away with so many of these stories before and because as a 27 year old lawyer she was fired for embellishing the truth, she has a pattern of (well I'll be kind)!

Hillary admits to some writers embellishment to the Bosnia thing. What about Obama? Is he going to admit to writers embellishment on the legislation he claims to have written? No, he won't because it will show that he has done very little with the opportunities he has been given. His claims are phoney and so is his retoric of Change and Hope.

Obama is very definitely politics as usual. Even the slavish following of young people who want an end to the war reminds me of McGovern. He got his start by contributions from shady characters and the CEOs of large corporations. The same kind of donations he is hinting contaminate her for office.

I hope there aren't many real adults buying into this nonsense. When you subtract all the crap on both sides you still end up with Hillary (who also wants to end the war) being the candidate with the strong work ethic and the track record.
