NY Times tackles the Hillary accusation: Press against her

The NY Times today brought forward the subject titled: "On the Press Bus, Some Questions Over Favoritism" In my humble opinion the mere publication of an article such as this points squarely upon the fact that the Clinton effort of trying to "bash-the-press" as a political strategy has created traction. But is it counter-productive or merely another example of the '90's scorched earth politics in play. NBC's top political reporter Andrea Mitchell states:

"Part of it is her campaign’s fault,” Andrea Mitchell, the longtime NBC political correspondent, said backstage at the MSNBC debate in Cleveland in Tuesday. “They started with this notion of inevitability. And they were very arrogant.”

In a NY Times/CBS News poll conducted between February 20th and February 24th and now released Tuesday;

"nearly half of those respondents who described themselves as voters in Democratic primaries or caucuses said the news media had been “harder” on Mrs.Clinton than other candidates. (Only about 1 in 10 suggested the news media had been harder on Mr. Obama.)" Meanwhile, relations between thecandidates and their chroniclers have shown signs of wear, as the Democratic contest has moved into its second year."

"Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign, which only a few weeks ago released a letter signed by Mrs. Clinton calling on MSNBC to fire a reporter who had made an off-color reference to her daughter, Chelsea, provided a letter to The Huffington Post this week taking issue with The Times. The letter, signed by 503 staff members and volunteers, disputed the central point in an article on Sunday’s front page: that the campaign was rapidly losing hope."
