Hillary’s Ongoing Campaign Scandals

Noel Sheppard

WaPo Reports Another Clinton Campaign Finance Fiasco Media Will Ignore

On Monday, the Washington Post broke the news of another major Hillary Clinton campaign finance fiasco that seems destined to be ignored or downplayed by media in much the same way previous instances of such behavior by the former First Lady avoided press scrutiny.

After all, the media for seven years largely buried Hillary’s involvement with convicted felon Peter F. Paul during her 2000 senatorial campaign, and have clearly downplayed last week’s revelations concerning fugitive Norman Hsu’s ties to the junior senator from New York.

Now, as reported by the Post, there’s a third scandal involving the front-runner for the Democrat presidential nomination which, given past precedent, might also not receive the kind of attention the press would give the matter if Hillary had an “R” next to her name (emphasis added throughout):

[...]

As media have been pounding the table about a GOP culture of corruption for several years, can you imagine such revelations concerning a Republican candidate for president not generating a massive media firestorm 24 hours a day, seven days a week until said candidate was likely forced to leave the race?

Do you think Katie, Charlie, and Brian will be reporting this new revelation about the Clinton campaign this evening?

It seems a metaphysical certitude that the answer to both questions is a loud, resounding “No.”

What a disgrace.

More shame for the heavily biased media.  Meanwhile, the big story(according to the MSM) is another witchhunt for gay Republicans, based on a conviction for disorderly conduct, while Hillary goes free and excused for a much greater crime.

Perhaps we could rename the MSM (which sounds an awful lot like a big movie studio) and call them the DCL: Democrat Cheer Leaders!
It’d be truth in advertising!

Proof: Actually, I think “Democrat Ministry of Propaganda” is more accurate.

“Democrat Ministry of Propaganda”

DMP? Sounds a lot more like the kind of bureaucracy the Democrats love! (DMV)

I love it!. You bemoan the lack of coverage by the MSM and use a full page spread from the Washington Post.  I think this is the second time you have whined about the MSM not reporting something and lo and behold you use the MSM.

Too too funny!

Compare the coverage of Hillary’s ongoing campaign finance scandals with the coverage of the disorderly conduct conviction of Larry Craig.  I don’t know about you, partisan, but I think Hillary’s crimes, her being a candidate for President and all, merit far more coverage than Craig’s minor misdemeanor.

BTW, P, MSM is plural; WaPo is singular.  Thanks for reinforcing my point.
“Media” is the plural of “medium”, as in “medium of communication to the public”.  Duh.

Of course you would R108, but there has been no allegation of criminal activity by Hillary.  There is a guilty plea by Craig.  Even you can see the difference. 

R108, it is laughable that you criticize the MSM using the MSM.  Now if you really wanted to make the point, don’t use the MSM.  Really, you should know better.  This is the second time now.

This is the second time now.

This is the second time you have confused “singular” with “plural”. 

MSM=MainStream Media.  “Media” is the plural of “medium”, and requires more than one source to report something.  It’s really simple when you have a working knowledge of English.

...there has been no allegation of criminal activity by Hillary.

Wrong again; there have been allegations(do you know the definition of that word?), but the Dem Ministry of Propaganda(the MSM) won’t pursue it with the same enthusiasm they use in implying a sex crime out of a disorderly conduct conviction, for the purpose of gay smear.
