Why is the mainstream media suppressing the story of Randi Rhodes' vicious rant against Senator Clinton?

The only major news organzation that is covering this story is Fox News. Everyone else is sitting on their hands. The only place you may find the story is on the deep back pages, buried in the blogs. My God, where is the moral outrage? Where is the sense of fairness and propriety? If anyone with a status similar to Rhodes had said something that vile and offensive about Obama, all the mainstream media would have the story on page one. But it looks like it's okay to remain silent if the attacks are directed against Senator Clinton or other strong, independent women such as Geraldine Farraro. This is shameful if it is not picked up by the mainstream press. A media coverup to end all media coverups.Why is the mainstream media suppressing the story of Randi Rhodes' vicious rant against Senator Clinton?
More than likely because the Air American shock jock is so minor a player they don't care. Then again the media is still in love with Obama and to giving any sympathy towards Clinton would be sacrilegious while worshipping at the Obama alter.Why is the mainstream media suppressing the story of Randi Rhodes' vicious rant against Senator Clinton?
The msm has failed time and time again. Im not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the liberals
funny, you write such extensive post, but do not say what exactly did Rhodes say that ticked you off.
The media is biased. Period. Clinton has lived by the bias of the media, so she must die by the bias of the media. It is in the Bible.
OMG! You mean FOX is NOT the right wing news agency they keep telling us about. You are trying to tell me that FOX is actually ';Fair and balanced';!!! I guess the Liberal media must be for Obama.
I don't even know who Randi Rhodes is so I don't care what she/he says. Hillary is a tough women she can take it.
She's an Obamamite and they're all crazy as Bed Bugs.
The media is torn between free speech and saving their jobs...had Rhodes said it on the air...this would be an issue...the reason most media are avoiding it (besides Rhodes being irrelevant) is that she was not on the air and there is a question as to whether she was speaking on her own accord or she was there representing Air America...





I think she crossed the line in the word choices...but she was the freedom to say what she wants off the air...
Rhodes' problem is no more newsworthy than Imus'. The only reason either of them got in trouble is that their bosses thought they might lose some advertizing revenue because of their failure to practice PC. Anybody should have a right to say whatever they want. If I don't like it, I can turn the dial. That's what the stations feared, someone turning the dial.
Did you actually call Fox a ';new organization';. I just about spit my coffee all over my computer screen.





How amusing? Do you do children's parties?





Actually the story is all over the place. The ';conspiracy'; must have forgotten to block my keyboard?





Here's Rhodes stand-up routine.

I thought it was pretty funny.





She was suspended by her network for this, which only goes to show how lame American media is.





Ann Coulter never gets suspended for saying the Jews in America need to be ';perfected'; or any of her vile racist comments or for laughing at wounded veterans.





This whole thing is BS.





You'll never find conservatives mocking their own, NEVER.
It's not a story. And for the record, neither was what Ferraro or Samantha Power said. It's pointless distractions.
suppressing the story?





Probably because it isn't much of a story to begin with.





Pundits rant against Hillary Clinton every day. I don't understand where your outrage is coming from, other than you're a misguided Hillary supporter.





Why would the media ';report'; on what someone in the media said about Clinton? That's sensationalist journalism (which explains why Fox News is covering it), not real news.
Probably because nobody gives a crap what Randi Rhodes says.
