Hillary Clinton and her campaign has displayed the most overt fondness for right-wing media of all the presidential contenders, including Republicans. She has agreed to participate in Fox News-sponsored debates when her Democratic colleagues have declined. She accepted donations from Rupert Murdoch. Just last week she sat for an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and its owner Richard Mellon Scaife, who has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to smear her and her family.<\/p>\n

This morning Scaife published an editorial<\/a> that praised Clinton as having “courage and confidence”<\/em> and proclaimed that his impression of her is now “a very favorable”<\/em> one. Can Scaife expect this endorsement to be taken seriously when he has previously accused her of everything from financial corruption to murder? A couple of other inconsistencies to ponder: Scaife is in the midst of an ugly divorce with an ex who supports Obama. And Scaife has contributed the maximum allowed donation to John McCain.<\/p>\n

Also this morning, Clinton surrogate and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell appeared on Fox & Friends<\/a> to say that “Fox has done the fairest job, has remained most objective of all the cable networks.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Perhaps Rendell was referring to the steady stream of Obama bashing as evidence of their fairness.<\/p>\n
