...democratic debate in Cleveland was a clash of styles and a battle of ideas, but above all, it was an example of the benefits of corporate vertical integration in TV. Hillary Clinton used one NBC Universal property (Saturday Night Live) to attack another NBC Universal property (MSNBC, the debate host) for its treatment of her. Clinton--whose aides have fiercely criticized her coverage--complained to Brian Williams that she is repeatedly asked the first question at the debates, then referenced a Feb. 23 skit that showed debate moderators grilling Amy Poehler's Clinton while tossing softballs to Obama. "If anybody...
...Clinton campaign theme: that Big Media has grilled her ceaselessly while going wobbly over hot, charismatic young Obama. (An often true argument, if undercut by the fact that the point was made for her by giant Big Media institution SNL.)

"They ought to put their own house in order before they start attacking others." Crown Prince Alois, Liechtenstein's acting head of state, has himself denounced Germany's "unprovoked attack" on his country...
There were moments when the debate was about the debate itself: Clinton complained early on that she seemed to get all the questions first-suggesting that this trend gave her opponent more time to formulate an answer, and echoing her campaign's recent line of attack that the media has given Obama a free ride. That was a somewhat curious complaint from someone running for President, but may have been an effort to pick up some last-minute support from female voters...
