Media Bias Against Clinton

Here is something I've noticed since the primaries began, the bias the media has against Hillary Clinton. Hillary just doesn't cry, she is manipulating the public to get votes! To put so much coverage on tears, laughing patterns and dress style, really shows how low the media has gone. Here is an article describing the bias against Hillary.
Several independent watchdog organizations, including Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting and the Center for Media and Public Affairs, have documented persistent and widespread bias against Clinton and in favor of Obama.

The Center for Media and Public Affairs reported that since mid December, when the Iowa caucuses came into play, Obama has received the lion's share of the positive coverage: "From Dec. 16 through Jan. 27, five out of six on-air evaluations of Obama (84 percent) have been favorable, compared to a bare majority (51 percent) of evaluations of Mrs. Clinton. The gap in good press widened since the New Hampshire primary, with Clinton dropping to 47 percent positive comments and Obama holding steady at 83 percent positive.
The media or the voter, which one is more powerful?
