Media’s Hillary bias

For those of you who pretend there is no politically liberal bias among the national media, consider these two recent events involving Hillary Clinton.

First, national press reporters actually allowed Hillary’s staff members to keep them at bay within two ropes the staffers held at a 4th of July Parade in New Hampshire. Why? Hillary wanted them far enough away from her campaigning so they could not hear what she was saying to potential voters. The reporters dutifully obeyed.

Hillary’s campaign told CNN, “While the GOP might want to spin a good yarn on this, let’s not get tied up in knots. We wanted to accommodate the press, allow [Clinton to] greet voters. And allow the press to be right there in the parade with her, as opposed to preset locations.”

Again and again, Hillary pretends Republicans make up stories about her behavior and expects the press to acquiesce. Which they are now doing by “forgetting” the abuse.

Would the story be “over” if Sarah Palin rope-a-doped the press with real ropes? 

Dodging the press for months, CNN obviously allowed Hillary to choose her first interview to be with Brianna Keilar, a former “Morning Zoo” DJ and journalism lightweight best known as the reporter whose most poignant question to President Obama in his year-end press conference was, “What’s your New Year’s resolution?”

Questioning Hillary about using a personal email server while Secretary of State and deleting thousands of emails, Brianna demonstrated her lack of knowledge and submissiveness.

Hillary claimed she did not break any laws or regulations by using a personal server instead of federal government server for her official communications, further claiming that “previous Secretaries of State have said they did the same thing.” Brianna’s “follow-up” question came off as Kabuki theater, saying, “But you said they … that they did the same thing, that they used a personal server and while facing a subpoena, deleted emails from them?”
