The Media Owe Hillary Clinton an Apology for Their Bogus Email Scandal (HILLARY GROUP)

[DeepModem Mom]

We don’t operate inside the Beltway, so at times like this I’m just baffled. I’m talking about the Hillary emails. The Hillary apology. The Hillary scandal blown up by a media that is obsessed with making 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton into a bad person. The former Secretary of State did apologize, for what we don’t know, just days ago in a TV interview with Andrea Mitchell, who has been referred to as the Clinton hunter for decades.

The Hillary Clinton supporters that I talked to were outraged and angry. Why is she apologizing, they asked? I can’t tell you how many people have approached me to ask me this question. Too many to count....

So here we are, back at dissecting why Hillary Clinton’s apology was so late for a scandal that didn’t exist except due to the press’s obsession with it....

Where is the media’s apology to Hillary Clinton? Maybe the people don’t want another decade of media bias against the Clintons. Maybe it’s time to focus on the issue that actually matter to voters.

1. Where is the Media at All!

No one is reporting this ... and when the Donald says lies about it on Fallon last night it was unchallenged, too.

3. I followed this with sputtering anger all afternoon yesterday with some fellow Tweeters.

Washington Times, then later Buzzfeed had the story. AP had it available apparently. Slowly, others followed. NYTimes finally put up a story, with a stupid headline, and devoted half the story to the tech guy who's pleading the Fifth. It's contemptible media bias accepted/expected for only one candidate: HRC.

2. Yes.

This was just another manufactured bullshit "scandal" to deflect from the real issues. Did anyone, aside from right-wing nutjobs, give a damn about this? No. They should issue apologies but they won't.

4. like the Mccarthy era. false accusations were being made against individuals, and then

Silence when the accusations were false. I would expect nothing less from the MSN which helped lie us into the Iraq

5. The media war on the Clintons

has been well-documented by many such as Bob Somerby, Joe Conason going back to at least 1992. Only Al Gore can claim possibly worse treatment in the last quarter century. I suspect their shameful behavior in this cycle may surpass all previous levels.

8. Thanks for your post!

I posted a little funny from a Vermont native I know in your Group yesterday: "Bernin' the House Down."

9. Just tryin' to keep it real, sister!

If we don't remember what happened to the Clintons from the '90s, Gore, Kerry, etc., we risk repeating the past this cycle.

11. Indeed!

7. I deeply object to the term "scandal", in this instance (HRC) and

in the many times Fox and other RW media have labeled their latest causes as such.

Unfortunately, we Dems let the RW get away with their labeling far too often.

I'm convinced that we should refer in all cases to the Dem national health program as "the ACA", and not adopt "Obamacare" as the term.

10. Good point. Once some bogus shite is labeled "scandal," it sticks in the minds of many....

if not most. Our side somehow doesn't seem able to counter such. The relative power of Fox "News" and Media Matters comes to mind.

12. All we can do is resolve to not use their terminology ourselves,

in speech and in printed word.

Make them - and the world- think in our terms, at least when we are speaking.

13. "But questions still remain..."

Will be their mantra. They will never, ever admit or apologize.
