HRC Up With PA Spot
"Level" is Hillary Clinton's first TV ad in PA.
On Call Aside: Not a single person of color in this spot. The ad clearly targets those of late super-popular white, working class voters. HRC stresses, as she has on the stump in PA, that she will support a middle class tax cut, create new jobs and end corporate give-aways.
"It's time to level the playing field against the special interests," Clinton says in the spot.
Reader UPDATE: There is one person of color in the ad. 13 seconds in. Don't blink, you'll miss her ...

Your anti-Clinton bias is showing; go to 13 seconds into the video, please.

You have got to be kidding me.
The only purpose of stating that there is "not a single person of color in this spot" is to insinuate that Hillary Clinton, her campaign, or her ad-makers is racist in some way. Shameless and disgusting.
Ms. Skalka's anti-Clinton bias has been apparent for some time, but this really takes the cake.

For what it's worth, at the 13-second mark of this video clearly shows a black woman.

It's a fact that Clinton is courting white, rural voters in PA. She's had big margins in most primary victories from white men in particular. Nothing loaded about noting that the people featured in this ad are white.

All you can say about her campaign ad is there is only 1 black person in it? That's the most outrageous thing i've ever heard and you need to apologize.

You know, I've been reading this site despite the obvious bias for months now, but that does it. I'm done. Have you even heard of the concept of journalistic integrity?

And just think... Barack Obama has promised he can move us beyond race!
Jennifer just posted a criticism of Clinton that was based on RACE... AND it was complete baloney.
Does it get any worse than that for a "reporter"??
Jennifer, it's time to pick a new profession.
You gave us biased information AND it was completely in error. You have failed your readers miserably.

Blink or you'll miss it? Jennifer, this is over the top. When you make a mistake, don't make it worse - admit, apologize, and move on. What has happened to journalistic integrity?
