Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumHillary Clinton isn’t just fighting Bernie and the Republicans. She’s fighting the media too.
http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/hillary-clinton-isnt-just-fighting-bernie-and-the-republicans-shes-fighting-the-media-too/24500/As I have noted earlier, Hillary Clinton holds a number of political distinctions. In all of U.S. history, she is the politician who has been attacked for longer than anyone else, even Nixon: forty years of anti-Hillary smears. Likewise Hillary is also the most investigated public figure in the history of our nation, which is why we can say with confidence that she is also the most honest in Washington: the endless investigations proved it.
There is another distinction. Hillary is the first politician in our history who has been attacked relentlessly by every faction of the media: the right-wing media, the left-wing media, the mainstream media in the center, and social media. Every single faction of the press is gunning for her: there is literally no place to go, to find reporting which is reliably fair in its coverage of Hillary. The media are increasingly willing to report unverified nonsense that makes Hillary look bad and makes the fight for the nomination a close race, and they have been caught many times deliberately trying to start fights between the candidates.
The right-wing media has of course made attacking Hillary and Bill and entire industry: Fox News, Rush, Drudge, Breitbart, World News Daily, Newsmax, the Washington Examiner, the Free Beacon. When Hillary said there is a vast right-wing conspiracy, everyone laughed, but she was proved right.
Meanwhile everyone on the left has drunk the Bernie Koolaid and is dutifully attacking the woman standing in Bernies way. Daily Kos is Bernie Central. The Huffington Post has been known to run twenty stories in a single day, slamming Hillary and praising Bernie: one of their reporters a fantasy novelist named whose name we wont mention here but you likely already know it is a full-time Hillary-basher and is so over the top that even other liberals hesitate to quote him.
Read the rest.....Stand up and fight for Hillary

And yet she has so many accomplishments despite all the misogyny and smears.
