Who’s REALLY Panicking Over Hillary’s Campaign? ( hint: the media) HRC GROUP POST

By Tom Watson

There is a mounting sense of desperation among an influential group of national political players regarding Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president. The trajectory of the race alarms them. Their big goal is proving elusive. They're losing control of the narrative. They’re distracted by one big story and they're beginning to express rising concern about the diminishing prospects of their enterprise.

I refer, of course, to the Beltway media.

In particular, the journalists, pundits, commentators, political operatives, and consultants who have spent entire careers trying in vain to Stop Hillary.

The body language says it all.

Despite an endless barrage of negative coverage, sexist attacks and hundreds of millions of GOP dollars aimed at tearing her down, Hillary is better situated than any woman in U.S. history to become president. She is calm, confident, and focused.

The reaction among her media detractors is shrill, journalistically unethical, infused with deep animosity, and riven with a kind of transparent desperation that almost stirs a humane sympathy for their deep psychic misery.

Almost.

This is the cynical playbook and (and frankly, intellectually lazy) nature of what they offer as “news” and "analysis" in the Age of Hillary.

1. Incessantly peddle false Rove and Koch-funded right wing narratives to tarnish Hillary’s public image.

2. Latch on to the slightest hint of trouble (an unfavorable data point in a poll, a negative comment from a voter, an anonymous quote from an 'insider', and so on).

3. Insist darkly that more nefarious deeds will eventually be uncovered (Hillary’s emails are just the tip of the iceberg because she “is a Clinton”).

4. Magically step outside of the very negativity they are creating to become “objective” observers lamenting all the bad press around Hillary.

5. After unceasingly attacking her, ask why she’s always under attack.

6. Rinse and repeat.

2. I'm a Bernie guy

Hillary just seems to be squirming over the email debacle. Bernie is on message and it resonates

[OKNancy]

It is tragic that she and others were targeted for questioning Sanders. Disgraceful and coordinated imho.

[Hekate]

14. And she held a PRESS CONFERENCE, the only Democrat to do so in a long time, and....

....it wasn't because she got caught in a hallway for a few minutes.

[riversedge]

30. yes, and

the Bernie-bots jumped all over it. (of course The Hill said she was 'testy' in their headline). BTW--I thought she responded quite well those silly reporters demanding response about those emails and the server AGAIN.

[edbermac]

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Can we please stop with the broad-brush smear insults of the supporters of a candidate like "Bernie-bots"? It makes DU suck, aims only to hurt and incite, and helps nothing and nobody. These kind of broad deliberately provoking incitements were deleted by mods on DU2 and I wish they still were on DU3.

36. oh my my...

I just saw this---your post --that I was alerted on because I used the word be...bots. Whow. It never occurred to me that it was disruptive or whatever. I kinda used it as a term of endearment. yeah.


Anyway. thanks to informing me.

added PS--We are in the Hillary group. I did not know we could alert on someone in this protected group. umm...

[Rose Siding]

16. She has the patience of a saint

I hope she's running into loads of good stuff on the trail to make it worthwhile.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Look at how the media suddenly seems to have a thirst for tough questioning when it is a Democrat.

"Mr. Trump, your immigration plan would involve hiring tens of thousands of police and security personnel and a massive system of detention sites and voluntary transport vehicle, just for starters..... is that what you want, a police state?"

How hard is that to ask, and it is totally legit???

[yallerdawg]

24. We've seen this before.

Hillary has seen it before:

[okasha]

23. Not only is she not "testy,"

she's .making fun of the fool.

[Cha]

13. "She is calm, confident, and focused." That says it all and it's not just the US "media" that's

panicked. I've seen right here with all the rwinger sources posted to try and smear Hillary.

15. K&R

Thanks for this link OKNancy!

[Fred Sanders]

18. Do not forget the untouchable "news aggregstors", now more opinion than news.

[Danascot]

20. This is the same group

who kept saying Obama would be a failure.

[navarth]

21. The media definitely have it in for Sec. Clinton

..notice how they continuously try to get Bernie to say something bad about her. Bernie's got too much class for that. And he turns it back on them. Good for him.

[Hekate]

29. I really appreciate that about Bernie. His supporters here don't get it that HRC & BS aren't enemies

Because they just aren't.

[Fred Sanders]

31. Not to mention today called out the very same media for paying no attention to the corrupt

electoral system run by billionaires because of CU.

Sanders and Clinton are allies against the real enemies out to destroy America, why their early early early primary election supporters can not be is a puzzle.

[okasha]

38. Strangely enough, neither Hillary nor Bernie

is running against the other. He's articulating problems, she's ripping the Republicans to shreds.

Gives one to think, it does.

[Fred Sanders]

39. Clinton and Sanders could be a potent one-two punch to the real and only enemy if their

supporters would pause long enough in their internicine social media warfare long enough to realize that.

[Overseas]

22. K&R. Well said.

[DeepModem Mom]

26. LOVE those #hillarymen!!! K&R!

[ismnotwasm]

32. Yeah--I'm not panicking

Far from it-I'm getting excited.

I can get a little disgruntled if I spent too much time on-line.

[William769]

33. Great job Nancy!

[OKNancy]

34. You too

In three days I'm really going to be super happy!
