A Warm Welcome In Boston For Hillary Clinton

[sheshe2]

In a state that voted almost 2 to 1 for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, and in a city that voted almost 6 to 1 for her, everyone seemed to embrace Clinton Tuesday night at the Boston Opera House.

Almost everyone. Five men stood outside the venue holding a Trump sign and chanting "lock her up!"

But inside, more than 2,500 people clapped, cheered and jumped to their feet numerous times for Clinton. A little more than a year ago, she expected a return to Boston as president. But instead, this was just the latest stop on her book tour, which she's been on for the last two months.

And then there was the sexism. Clinton argued that female candidates like her are held to a different standard than their male counterparts.

"The only way we will get sexism out of politics is to get more women into politics," she said, to cheers.

4. Looking over the WBUR story

There's one photo, that of Secretary Clinton's book. Given prominence by being placed in the second paragraph is a reference to the five malcontents outside the venue. And, while the story goes on to recount what Clinton said on this stop of her book tour, Anthony Brooks can't resist this: Clinton "was interviewed by a very friendly Tim McCarthy from Harvard, who avoided difficult questions like that or whether Clinton herself made mistakes that contributed to her defeat."

Because, as we all know, whenever an author is on a book tour, they're supposed to be subject to withering cross-examination and give an account of their own mistakes and shortcomings to the reporter's liking.
