After reading an article in today's Daily News about "Hiliary hitting the Bush team yet again," I'm convinced that it's the media's goal to portray Hiliary and Bill Clinton as two 'heated' individuals constantly in opposition of the Bush administration. Notwithstanding this argument, the article says things like, "The White House and Clinton have traded 'barbs' since her ex-President husband 'erupted' in a figer-jabbing tirade." This statment is one that drips with media bias. The whole premise of the article was essentially focused around the Clinton's oppositions, or faults in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Despite the Daily News quotting yesterday's Gallup Poll as stating, "53% of Americans blamed President Bush for the failure to capture Bin Laden and 36% blaming Clinton," the wrtiers jumped immdediately away from that point to some other political officials opinions. Nevertheless, the bulk of the article is focused on the Clinton's either defending themselves or being blamed for past actions. I just felt the writers of the article were not objective in their views, and were true representations of how it's impossible for a journalist to maintain neutrality.
