MSM Loves Hillary

Brent Bozell and Tim Graham write a scathing piece at NRO about how the MSM has totally shirked its duty in regard to Hillary Clinton.

Starting with when she first came onto the national political scene, the MSM has been in the tank for her, both by supporting everything she says and by ignoring the numerous personal, political, and financial scandals.

Bozell and Graham take an in-depth look at what investigative journalism should be (and used to be), and then they pick apart how the MSM has departed from true journalism in regard to Clinton.

They also illustrate how any attempt to portray the truth of Hillary's deficiencies provoke substantial anger from the Clinton machine, usually in the form of public smearing and labels like 'Clinton hater' or 'vast right wing conspiracy'. However, the real root of that anger is that the Clintons no longer have the monopoly on the media that they once had. With the rise of the new media, the truth can still come out despite their efforts to control their image.

The authors' point is that the truth is what needs to come out more than anything, especially as people decide if Clinton is truly the best person to lead our country. Unfortunately, most Americans don't know most of Clinton's history because the MSM has surrounded her in a blatantly-slanted blanket of protection.

There's my two cents.

The mainstream media is our enemy. Fortunately the people are smart enough to realize that Hillary is our only chance to take back America next year and get it under control.

vote-for-hillary-online - at the risk of sounding a bit crass, I have to ask what world you are living in...!

The MSM is totally in the tank for Hillary, almost totally ignoring her scandals and deficiencies while simultaneously sheltering her from having to actually take a stand on anything. The first time she was actually pinned down was in the debate about the illegal alien driver's licenses, and look where that got her. Without the MSM, Hillary would have disappeared from the national political scene years ago.

And, I'm really not sure what you mean by 'take back America' - you've already got Congress, and you've failed to do anything with it (except hinder our troops and propose tax increases). What, exactly, are you trying to get 'under control'? It's the anti-American socialist Democrat leadership that needs to be reigned in.
