Why Is D.C. Media "Primed To Take Down Hillary Clinton"? Right Wing Hate Train!



The weird part was that campaign journalists didn't seem to object to the description. There was very little pushback regarding Byer's rather shocking claim; it barely caused a ripple. Journalists don't seem ashamed of that fact that Clinton faces a tougher press than her fellow candidates, or think it reflects poorly on the state of political journalism. More and more journalists are simply admitting the truth:
The press is out to get Clinton. Period.

New York Times: "Clinton's Toughest Foe Appears to Be the News Media"
The Week: "The mainstream media hates Hillary Clinton."
NBC's Chuck Todd: "No matter what she says, she's not going to please Republicans and many members of the political press corps."

So the argument today that journalists are being tough on Clinton because she avoids the press doesn't hold water. Journalists were being extremely tough on Clinton last summer when she was engaging with the press on a daily basis.

It seems no matter what approach Clinton takes, the press has agreed upon a plan: take her down.

The Media has gone total Right Wing, when was the last time you heard anything about the Benghazi Which Hunt that wasted $millions of dollars and hundreds of hour of trumped up lies. Last week they asked Hillary why she thought people had negative likability, then they turned to Trump asking him why the people loved him so much, WTF?

right deeply hates, is why and remember, most of the media is in the pocket of GOP Wall Street types.

It is why Rachel and Lawrence and a few others need to be cherished.
