Bill, I think D is referring to the lovefest NBC, MSNBC, and CBS had with Obama in favor over Clinton.

Lovefest? Like the 24/7 reporting over his preacher? That "lovefest"?

Fox News isn't a "democrat" station like the others I listed. The liberal media are the ones that blasted Clinton, especially your boy Olbermann. Fox was the most fair to Hillary actually. CNN seemed the most fair to Obama and Clinton respectively.

Smoking Guns, if you can't see that Fox News and the Right-wingers were bending over backwards to try and have Hillary be the Democratic nominee, you have to be smoking something.
Here's the deal with the "liberal" media (in quotes because I disagree with your label). The networks highlighted the positives on whichever candidate was trailing in the polls while "asking more questions of" and expressing concern over the moves of the front-runner. This was true for the entire Democratic campaign. It was more about ratings than it was objective journalism...(which btw, if you want objective news coverage, go to C-Span and PBS)...compare all that with Fox News that is virtually a mouthpiece for the Republican Party, the term "rusty trombone" comes to mind there.

South basically ignored everything the North did and they decided to start the war.
Oh really, and just when did the southern armies invade the North. Your statement is a tad bit disingenuous. It was the North that invaded the South.

April 12, 1861 at Ft. Sumpter, South Carolina........they didn't "invade" the North, they invaded a military base and seized it for the South, thus starting the Civil War.
And just to clarify for you new-age Confederate yokels......sure the fort was in South Carolina.....however it was a federal property owned by the US Government.

Bullshit! South Carolina was a sovereignty unto itself.
We feel that our cause is just and holy; we protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we desire peace at any sacrifice save that of honour and independence; we ask no conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were lately confederated; all we ask is to be let alone; that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms.
'President Jefferson Davis - 29 April 1861'

So now it has come to name calling. Trust me, you don't want to go there. In the South, there are a litany of derogatives used to describe northerners.
Rather than recite the propaganda that you learned in school, educate yourself.
The idiom
to the victors go the spoils
could not be more appropriate. The victors also write the history books.

Educate myself to what? Your skewed version of American History? I'd rather stick to what really happened. And as far as victory...what the hell are you talking about? I'm not running around jumping for joy that the North won......hell it was 140+ years ago. I think the initial news of the victory might have worn a tad bit off now. But yeah those spoils are something else eh? Freedom for slaves and a united country. Damn them anyhow!!! Maybe you can convince the people of Alabama to arm their trailers and grab their peashooters and ride proclaiming, "The South Will Rise Again".......eh but they're probably too busy banging their cousins and listening to Kid Rock or watching Larry The Cable Guy.

HAHAHAHAH YES! Now that my friend is a good one.
By the way, did you hear about the new law they passed in Alabama?
Apparently now when you get a divorce, you're still brother and sister!!!
