How Brazile’s book exposes liberal media’s Hillary health coverup
NY Post ^ | Nov 07, 2017 | Michael Goodwin

Silly, silly Donna Brazile. She’s publishing a book detailing turmoil in the Democratic Party during the 2016 campaign, highlighted by her concern that Hillary Clinton was seriously ill and might need to be replaced by Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders.

What’s the big deal? There’s no news here because all this was well-known and covered at the time by the big national newspapers and networks, right?

Wrong. If Brazile were rehashing things we knew, there would be no book and no bombshell headlines now.

Instead, she has thrown open a new and very big window on 2016 — and exposed yet again the consequences of the political biases of the Democratic media.

The missed stories are not merely the result of mistakes or sloppy reporting. Brazile’s book is a revelation in that it shows that many left-leaning journalists didn’t so much cover Clinton as cover up for her.

Put it this way: How is it possible that the leader of the Democratic Party was talking to colleagues about trying to replace its nominee during the general election because of health concerns, and none of the thousands of journalists covering the campaign got wind of it?

It’s not possible — if the media had been playing it down the middle and holding both candidates to the same standard of scrutiny. But big media missed a big story because so much campaign “news” coverage was tilted toward defeating Trump and electing Clinton.

Anything that could possibly suggest Trump was unfit for the Oval Office — bingo, front page, top of the broadcast.

On the other hand, anything that could hurt Clinton was downplayed or ignored. Nothing to see here, move along.

The coverage of Clinton’s health was a prime example of the tilt. Her coughing fits, especially a long one on Labor Day, and a history of falling were pointed out by the popular Drudge Report, some Republicans and smaller, conservative-leaning sites to suggest she was not being honest about her health.

Hmm, what conservative leaning site might he be referring to?

The would be a bombshell *if* the book came out and named the malady.

It did not. So, even the book is **still covering up** the Hill’s disease.

No cigar.

These unfounded rumors about Hillary's health must stop. Hillary is fine.


Hillary confused, frail

I’m halfway through the book now, and am absolutely amazed how right all of us have been about the most corrupt, evil criminal politician (and her so-called husband) in American political history.

The brain-dead water buffalo Brazile is no shrinking violet, she exposes everything we suspected (knew), and I’m convinced she’d still happily die (voluntarily) for those two pigs, Bill and Hill—and she just might, by exposing what she’s exposing. Yes, she’s already walking it back in the media, but you can’t unring this bell.

She is confirming that every single person who ever attaches themselves willfully to the Clintons will be destroyed when the Hildabeast comes to call—and the beast always does...

It exposes more than that. If Donna Brazile really was considering replacing Hillary, because the “I’m with her” campaign was failing, then the mainstream media were lying to the degree that conservatives have always said they lie. We had a constant drumbeat on Hillary’s insurmountable lead and inevitability. If the democrat leadership knew she was losing, where were CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, NPR, NYT, and WaPo with the same information?

Lots of choice roles to fill!

Whoopi as Donna Brazile?

Or Moochie Obama?

Wonder who will get the choice role of Hillary Clinton.

Rosie O'Donuts?

Michael Moore?

Through Amazon, for Kindle reader. Instantaneous for $15.

What this old Clinton hack knew then and likely knows now must be bottomless just based on what she does talk about. Like I said, everything we all knew about this campaign was true, but not a single real journalist last year was willing to tell the truth to the world about it when it counted.

Hillary and the rest of the Clinton cabal really are as bad as I always knew, and I’m still sure that the brain dead water buffalo only hints at the depth of corruption. At least she’s speaking with whatever trace of soul she might have left after selling most of it to the Clintons over the last 25 years.
