What puzzles me? No one on Fox News (O'Reily Hannity etc. mentioned Hillary's gaffe.

Guess you haven't been watching Foxnews these many months carrying her water. The fact that Hillary's campaign praised them for their fair coverage, says it all.

AIT what is the general consensus in Japan -- wishful thinking or she was making an historical reference that was misunderstood?

nutmeg, unfortunately people have short memories but I'm hoping this will kill any chance of relection to the Senate when she next runs.

Rupert Murdock, the guy who owns FoxNews (News Corp) actually held a fund-raiser for Clinton in 2006.

It is already mid-weekend here in Japan—this stuff broke very early Saturday a.m. here—so I have not had the normal number of people to bounce such kinds of questions off of and take a better pulse. I think the reading so far in Japan at least in the media that is covering it, is that SHE MADE ONE HUGE mistake, and in the lesser, cynical, tell-it-like-it-is circulateion press, actually does wish ill to come to Senator Obama so that she can get the nomination. I have seen some kind of references in that context, yes.

Yes, you are correct; I overlooked THE interview.
O'Reilly did that obsequious interview as if he was
talking to Queen Elizabeth.

In general though, there was little mention of Hillary,
but J. Wright occupied most of Hannity's time and he
still manages to bring it up.

An earlier reply directed me to a web sight where
Murdoch disavowed any support for Hillary. "Me think
he doth protest too much."; since Fox still had orders
especially when Fox ignored the RFK comment.

Surprisingly, Peggy Noonan, WSJ, weighed in against
Hillary in a damming opinion today. Murdoch, although
he controls the WSJ, is reluctant to move too quickly
since he won a long drawn out battle.
