Former President turned author Bill Clinton said Sunday that former President Barack Obama received friendlier treatment in the press than other Democrats and Republicans, in part because the media liked having an African-American in the office.

Clinton is out promoting his new novel, The President Is Missing, a potboiler about a chief executive who goes rogue to fight terrorists. It was cowritten with best-selling author James Patterson.

Speaking on CBS This Morning, Clinton talked about why the political press gave friendly coverage to Obama.

At first he said, Why? I dont know,' then added, They liked him. And they liked having the first African-American president...

Obama had CNN and MSNBC on his side. Trump only has Fox News.

Both got shit treatment (along with George W. Bush), but Trump slightly worse. Clinton was the last president where there wasn't an 8 year 24/7 witch hunt.

Since when was the media favorable to Obama? The thinly veiled racism from even the so called liberal media was crystal clear. Trump isn't close to being as intelligent as Obama or even Bush('s puppet masters) and brings his scrutiny on himself because of his stupidity/racism etc.

Clinton also said that Trump would have been impeached if he was a democrat, which is also 100% true.

Gotta bunch of people that got animosity towards black guys cause their dicks are bigger than them. These are guys that are jealous, cause they don't carry, they don't possess, BBC. They don't possess that GOD GENE that's involved in these black men out here.

Keep getting jealous while your wife asks for KEK-HOLDS. While your girlfriends ask for KEK-HOLDS and WISH that they could get FUCKED by these African warriors with these huge BBCs that could pipe them down to the point where they could FEEL each and every last spectacle of their pussies getting VIBRATED and THRUSTED until the orgasm just SPEWS out. Keep saying ******, keep saying BLACK.

Come on you KEK-HOLDS! You love it! You love this shit! Ill be that monkey. Ill be that monkey. Yup, with a BBC. Enjoy it. Have your woman take this dick. Shes imagining a HUGE Black Cock. Why do you think your bitches get huge dildos!?

You guys dont possess the BBC gene. Thats why youre upset. No BBC equals anger. Youre upset, youre mad at these African Cocks. These Rhino Dicks. Thats why you guys like saying ****** so much. I get it.

Look at all the libs in here pretending Obama got favorable press coverage because he was "a nice guy". Dubya was a nice guy and he was constantly getting shredded. Not to the extent Trump gets shredded but far more than he deserved. Obama could literally do no wrong in the media's eyes, with the exception of Fox, and it was disgusting.

Dubya was the goofy "nice guy" but after 9/11, and I think after going into Iraq specifically, people got tired of him.

It's almost like starting two long wars in the middle east, mishandling a disaster, and a tanking economy doesn't lend itself to favorable coverage by the press

I don't believe any of those poll options. It's moreso conservative news media was biased against Obama, and liberal news media has bias against Trump.


but which sides has a larger stake in the media market?

It's a weird thing to suggest. I don't believe Al Sharpton, Herman Cain or Ben Carson would have gotten treated as favorably. Obama always came across as a decent person despite questionable actions and policies during his presidency. Many considered Trump to be an asshole well before running for the position.

Considering how dominate Sinclair is with the local news market and that Fox News is the largest cable news outlet, it's not nearly as big of a disparity as you're implying
