Martha Raddatz Cheers Hillary

From NewsBusters, via Ben's headline dump, the unbiased professional Martha Raddatz fawns over Hillary.

On the October 20 edition of the program, ABC’s Martha Raddatz declared that Hillary Clinton was “on fire” while campaigning for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe on Saturday.

Co-anchor Dan Harris kicked off the Hillary watch by pretending that Mrs. Clinton was making a comeback: “[A] lot of people talking this morning about the return of Hillary Clinton, attending her first political rally in four years on Saturday.”

. . .

Harris then brought Raddatz into the discussion, and the senior foreign affairs correspondent cheered Mrs. Clinton’s campaign appearance: “This was the first explicitly political event for Hillary Clinton in four years, and she was on fire campaigning for the Virginia gubernatorial candidate, her old friend Terry McAuliffe. She was a big draw, lots of applause and lots of fire bombs aimed at the Republicans.”

What, these "firebombs" don't make her into a divisive partisan extremist ideologue whose negative tone is causing the public to hate politics and politicians even more?

Pure boosterism from someone who would never say the same about a conservative.
