From the moment Hillary Clinton walked onto the national stage, the media hailed her as a woman on the verge of history, a feminist trailblazer, a pioneer of women’s liberation.... If her husband was elected president, she would be the first First Lady to have an "independent" career of her own. The many liberals and feminists now in the press corps could visualize one of their own as a White House spouse, chafing at the demand to glue on a plastic smile and pretend she lived for the annual Easter Egg Roll, choosing instead to use her honorary office to strike blows for "social justice." Empathy for Hillary’s pioneer plight oozed between every sentence of many Woodstock generation media accounts.
It’s a pattern we have seen repeated again and again in the 15-plus years since.
When it comes to Hillary Clinton, the national media have flagrantly abandoned their duty as a supposedly independent, dispassionate press. They have shamelessly served as cheerleaders for Mrs. Clinton from the moment she emerged on the national scene in 1992, with Time’s Margaret Carlson describing her as "an amalgam of Betty Crocker, Mother Teresa, and Oliver Wendell Holmes." Liberal reporters — and, truth be told, female liberal reporters especially — have hailed her as a feminist role model, a brilliant intellect, a politician of striking compassion, an inspiring leader, and more.
What makes the media's coverage of Hillary Clinton even more deplorable are the recurring examples of noncoverage. Over and over they have refused to cover Mrs. Clinton’s staggering number of personal, political, and financial scandals, ignored her leftist political agenda, and dramatically downplayed her significant political failures. Plain and simple, they have whitewashed her record to turn her into the formidable presidential candidate we’re all assured she is....

‘Team Hillary are always quick to dismiss any mention of the candidate’s ugly record as “old news.” The “objective” news media, still obsessed with George W. Bush’s 1971 National Guard record, will agree, simply yawn — oh, we’ve heard it all before. But in fact we haven’t heard it before, because the liberal media have made sure the real story was never reported. ‘
The contrast demonstrated here with this point needs to be brought up again, and again, and again.
Imagine how the Clinton campaign would melt under the same intense light Bush has been under.
Brent was on Fox this AM.......that ditz liberal gretchen carlson started to set up her question “so Brent, you believe.....”..........he jammed it right up her ditz by stopping her midway, saying “NO, I don’t just “believe” it....I know it.....HERE ARE THE FACTS!”......if she said anything further, I don’t recall, LOL
Has anyone ever compiled a complete list of Clinton shenanigans and felonies - not whole books with all the details, but just a line item list?
Those females talking heads on Fox & Friends make me grit my teeth. They never shut up and interrupt the guests as well as Steve and Brian. Yech!
A good film to view is ‘The Clinton Chronicles’. Do a search for it on FR, I know it’s linked because I linked it and I have seen others do the same.
*save* for later reading. Thanks!
Alamo Girl has a formidable list, and I believe others have too.
This is one of the best places available for the Clinton record - both suspects.
Hillary pretty well put all of us on notice that she wouldn’t ever allow this to happen when she ordered the records of the Health Care Task Force shredded in direct violation of a court order.
Will do. Thanks to all your suggestions.
Caption: “Why does Bill keep making a fist and telling me that I need what all women need —— a box full of Cubans?”
The fact that Hillary’s dem candidate competition doesn’t bring up her many misdeads is an indication that the race for the nomination is a farce.
Why won’t Hussein Obama bring it up? Why won’t the SIlk Pony bring it up? Because they both expect or want to be her running mate, that’s why.
You are welcome. I found that video very informative.
