As you all know, wilthrill hates the drive-by media (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and most major newspapers)and rarely misses a chance to criticize them.

However, one of them, has actually showed some fairness and asked non-softball questions of Hillary.

That one is Tim Russert who I believe works for NBC or MSNBC.

A month or two ago Russert asked Hillary whether she would agree with one of his former guest who had said there were some circumstances in which he would ok torture. Hillary said she disagreed. Russert pointed out that his former guest was her husband Bill Clinton and Hillary made a crack about talking to Bill about that when he gets home.

Fast forward to three days ago.
Russert asked, Ms Clinton do you agree with New York Governor Spitzer's plan to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens?" Hillary BLEW it on the answer so badly that her fellow democrats attacked her.

Hillary's campaign has come out and said that Russert was belligerent and it was a case of six guys ganging upon the poor little woman (this the same woman who portrays herself as STRONG and wants to stand toe to toe with Osama Bin Laden etc)!!!!

Folks, since when is it off limits for a reporter to ask a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE a question on the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT DOMESTIC ISSUE of the campaign?

Well wilthrill is nothing if not fair, so wilthrill has to admit that Russert, at least, is capable of showing fairness and objectivity. Therefore wilthrill is 'promoting" Tim Russert out of the drive-bys and any future references to the drive-by media by wilthrill do NOT include Mr. Russert unless they specifically say so.

Oh, and PS, if Hillary can't tell the truth about her support for illegal aliens why should you believe anything she says???
