"Time" Magazine publishes bias media

After reading an online commentary on Time magazine's web page, it is apparent the news magazine is allowing its authors--at least one of them--to publish one-sided, obviously biased reports about Senators Clinton and Obama.

The article, called "Could Race Destroy the Democrats?" by Michael Duffy, is so skewed toward Obama that it is sickening. From his prose about the "devastating rejoinder" of Clinton at the "soaring applause" at Obama events in New Hampshire (he must not have received the memo that she won that state's primary), to his analysis of Clinton and the Civil Rights Act, which included, "[t]he real problem is that Clinton seemed to put [Lyndon B. Johnson] on a pedestal higher than [Martin Luther] King's," and he attempts to critique her appearance on Meet the Press, in which she stated that she hoped race and gender would not be a part of either campaign, with "[b]y the time she said those words, it was already too late."

There is no mention of Obama using race during his campaign. It is always one-sided with Obama--and African-Americans--as the victim. I was always afraid that race would arise as the main factor of this presidential race. Imagine if Obama wins the Democratic nomination how it will be for him to take on the Republican nominee. Race will be the primary factor throughout the general election season. I always believed it would be about gender, but instead Obama is quite comfortable attempting to swiftboat Senator Clinton by using the race card.

The bottom line is the media seems content to paint Hillary Clinton as a belligerent, racist dowager, who is scheming to protect her dynasty, but they are unwilling to attribute any of the flack to Senator Obama. If they think her campaign is being unkind now just wait until the Republican attack machine paints Obama's picture for the rest of America.

By the way, if Barack Obama thinks his current rhetoric will win him points with conservative, white Republicans in November, then he is sorely mistaken! It just seems to me that both campaigns should focus on the issues of Iraq, the economy, and how to move this nation forward as a whole, as opposed to building bridges back to the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

That's my opinion.
