Clinton, Sanders highlight big differences Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders drew sharp contrasts with each other at a CNN Democratic town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday -- exactly one week before voters there attend the first in the nation caucuses. Clinton said she was "really touched" by President Barack Obama's praise for her in a recent interview as she tried to portray herself as the most effective potential guardian of his legacy. She pushed back against questions that asked why some younger voters are less enthusiastic about her candidacy than that of Sanders. And pressed on whether she was late in addressing income inequality, she said she has spent decades combating inequality of all kinds. Clinton asked why young people think she's 'dishonest' "Don't get discouraged," Clinton said. "It's hard. If it were easy, hey, there wouldn't be any contest. But it's not easy. There are very different visions, different values, different forces at work, and you have to have somebody who is a proven fighter -- somebody who has taken them on and won, and kept going, and will do that as president." Passionate final argument Sanders, meanwhile, hit Clinton hard over Iraq, trade, the Keystone Pipeline and Wall Street regulation as he drove home a passionate final argument to Iowa voters. He sought to portray himself as the true personification of change in the Democratic race for the White House. He argued that though Clinton has wide experience, she was wrong on key issues. "We need a political revolution," he said. "We are touching a nerve with the American people who understand that establishment politics is just not good enough." Bernie Sanders' political career 13 photos: Bernie Sanders' political career Sanders dismissed Clinton's political record, seeking to prove he was closer to the Democratic Party base and just as prepared to be president as Clinton. "I voted against the war in Iraq ... Hillary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq," Sanders said. "I led the effort against Wall Street deregulation. See where Hillary Clinton was on this issue." "On day one, I said the Keystone Pipeline was a dumb idea. Why did it take Hillary Clinton a long time before she came into opposition to the Keystone Pipeline? I didn't have to think hard about opposing the Trans Pacific Partnership. It took Hillary Clinton a long time to come on board that." He also warned unapologetically that taxes would rise if he is elected President, especially to pay for his Medicare-for-all health care plan. Bernie Sanders will raise taxes to pay for health care Sanders argued, however, that the taxes are worth it, given what American families will save in premiums. And, living up to his image as a self-declared Democratic socialist, he warned corporations and the richest Americans that they would pay more. "Yes, you are going to start paying for your fair share of taxes," Sanders said. "I demand that Wall Street start paying its fair share of taxes." Sense of humor For a candidate who has been caricatured as overly serious, Sanders' sense of humor came through at the town hall. He laughed with ease during exchanges with moderator Chris Cuomo and boasted of his athletic prowess as an elementary school basketball player. Clinton, meanwhile, hugged Obama close, and said she was deeply affected by an interview that Obama conducted with Politico in which he appeared, without making a formal endorsement, to argue Clinton was uniquely qualified for the presidency. "I was really touched and gratified when I saw that," Clinton said, relating how her relationship with her former 2008 Democratic primary rival developed into a close friendship when she served as his first-term secretary of state. The Democratic presidential candidates appeared one after the other for a half hour each at the town hall meeting at Drake University. The forum will showcase the contrast emerging between Clinton, the national front-runner and Obama's first secretary of state, and Sanders, who is mounting a stronger than expected challenge. Long shot candidate Martin O'Malley also appeared on stage and argued that he represented a generational change in politics that neither Sanders nor Clinton could match. Latest polling Latest polling shows Clinton and Sanders locked in a tight contest in Iowa. In the most recent CNN Poll of Polls, Sanders edges Clinton 46-percent to 44-percent in Iowa, with O'Malley at 4-percent. Hillary Clinton's career in the spotlight 50 photos: Hillary Clinton's career in the spotlight And in a new CNN/ORC national poll published on Monday, Clinton led Sanders 52-percent to 38-percent with former Maryland Gov. O'Malley way back on 2-percent. Though the survey showed a significant cushion for Clinton, her advantage was smaller than at any time since September. The poll showed women, non-whites, self-identified Democrats, and those over age 50 breaking sharply for Clinton. Men, white voters, independents who lean Democratic and younger voters are more likely to support Sanders. The Iowa contest is particularly important to Clinton, who lost the state in 2008, setting in motion Obama's path to the White House. A victory for Sanders could reshape the entire Democratic race while a Clinton win could quell jitters in her camp and help put her on the path to the nomination. Clinton, however, insisted she wasn't worried. "I'm proud of the campaign we've run and what we've put out there before the American people," she said. "It's a tough campaign and it should be because it's the toughest job in the world."

News Media: The mother of all social problems America in 2015 faces enormous social problems.  Throughout our history, America has always faced enormous social problems.  Today's problems are not any more challenging than those we faced in days gone by.  There has never been a time where America experienced a period of unimpeded bliss.  Every decade in each generation presented its own challenges to our constitutional guarantees. THE CHALLENGE OF THIS GENERATION We live in a period of pervasive institutional corruption.  Corruption seems present in every direction we look.  This too, is not new.  Corruption is what leads to reformation movements.  America has had plenty of those.  In fact, the great strength of the United States of America, is our ability to renew ourselves and our commitment to the principles of our founding.  Nevertheless, what is unique about the corruption we see today is how that corruption has now affected the news media.  Media corruption is not new or unique to this generation, but the pervasiveness of that corruption is new. HOW HAS THE MEDIA BEEN CORRUPTED In a word, the media has been politicized.  Journalists are human and as such are subject to the flaws and frailties everyone experiences.  Journalists, reporters, and editorial boards of newspapers have always had their biases.  In the past, it was taboo for that bias to bleed into what was supposed to be straight and unbiased news reporting.  It still happened, though.  Walter Duranty of the New York Times is probably the best example of how journalists can compromise their own credibility when influenced by political leaders they favor.  Duranty was the Moscow Bureau Chief for the New York Times during the years Joseph Stalin was deliberately starving 7 million Kulaks to death in 1931-32.  All during that time, Duranty was aware of the plight of the Kulaks, but continued to report on the Soviet Union under Stalin in glowing terms.  Duranty's reports were accepted enthusiastically by the left wing progressives in the US, looking for FDR to recognize the USSR.  His work has long been discredited.  But Duranty was just one man and not indicative of a systemic problem. Everything began to change after it became acceptable for political operatives to become journalists.  In years past, it was acceptable for a newsman to switch careers into politics, but not for anyone involved in a political career to become a newsman.  On the surface, this may appear unfair.  But it's precisely about appearances that the news media was concerned.  Even the appearance of being less than neutral was enough to be excluded from the ranks of journalists.  Clearly, someone who worked in partisan political organizations lost the appearance of impartiality.  Once the veil of impartiality has been pierced, it is pierced permanently. But that standard is no longer held.  Today, there are a great many former party apparatchiks posing as unbiased newsmen in critical positions in the news media, both on air and behind the cameras.  Although it is possible for these people to come from any political party, they are almost universally Democrats.  It should be made clear here that this refers to newsmen, reporters, journalists and anchormen whose job it is to report the news without bias and impartially.  News commentary and opinion pundits are not subject to the same standard.  In those cases, they only need to fully disclose their former or present political connections. The media corruption today runs deeper than most Americans may think.  There are also numerous cases of elite media news people with close relatives or spouses also in high positions within the government, which they are supposedly holding accountable.  Here again, we seen another ethical violation where the appearance of compromised professional integrity is ignored as if it doesn't matter at all.see The Incestuous Relationship Between Media and Democrats THE DEMOCRATIC DEBATE:  THE SHILL AND THE PITCHMAN The behavior of the media in Republican debates is nothing short of appalling.  Particularly when contrasted with the same media's behavior in Democratic debates.  Debate moderators should ask tough questions.  The character of the questions reflects a striking level of bias.  Questions posed to Democrats are not hostile.  Media questions to Democrats don't pit them against each other.  If one examines the CNN Democratic debate, there wasn't a single question designed to bring any of the candidates in conflict with each other.  The result was, it wasn't really a debate.  A debate is supposed to compare and contrast the differing views of candidates, where each can have their ideas challenged by other candidates.  That isn't what happened at the CNN Democratic debate.  It amounts to something resembling a 2 hour infomercial, where the shill and the pitchman pretend to be conducting legitimate interview.  Unfortunately, the media behavior in the Democratic debates have made it transparently obvious they're all playing on the same team. CONSEQUENCES FOR AMERICA Conservatives have legitimate and workable solutions to every problem facing the country but they will never be given a fair hearing as long as the news media remains corrupted.  Americans should demand reimposition of ethical standards long abandoned by professional journalists.  No one with a previous political career should ever anchor a news program like Meet the Press (eg., Chuck Todd, former staffer for Democrat Senator, Tom Harkin).  No one should have editorial control over news programming when they have close family members in a Presidential administration (eg., David Rhodes, CBS News and Ben Rhodes, Obama National Security Adviser).  No former Presidential spokesmen should pretend to be unbiased news anchors (eg., George Stephanopoulos, ABC This Week and former Clinton Press Secretary).  All of these and many more should be considered violations of journalistic ethics and strictly prohibited. The media must be held to the highest standards or we will lose this republic.
