It's a hard fact: Hillary Clinton gets the most negative stories and the fewest positive stories. @MariaNYC @kthalps

(32,623 posts)So much of the negative coverage is in the construct of the stories they write and not in the substance.
The WaPo last night wrote that Trump Gets Boost! while she got Hillary's Wins But Suffers From...
Trump the racist sexist TV clown gets a Boost! while Hilz is totally winning but just not doing it right.
Doing it backward and in high heels is what they mean.

(25,537 posts)and used odd language. Said Clinton wanted to "avert an embarrassing loss in her adopted home state" and when speaking to supporters she was "letting slip what a win would mean." This "slip" was her saying that she was hoping to do well in New York and hoping to wrap up the Democratic nomination. What the hell. This was a secret? We are left with "embarrassing" and "slip" -- out of thin air. DAMMIT. Sanders and Trump weren't saddled with any such innuendos.

(20,450 posts)It has to be overshadowed with something negative about her, her campaign, even her voters (e.g., black voters are uninformed, etc.).

(16,104 posts)When the polls closed last night, Trump was immediately proclaimed victor by all the major M$M outlets.
Hillary? A breathless "Too close to call!"
As we watched her numbers remain at Trump-like levels through 2% reporting, 10%, 20%, 40%! Finally, they faced the inevitable and called it.
Hillary supporters spent the rest of the night anxiously anticipating the 'exit poll, too-close-to-call' numbers to materialize. Else, why would they delay calling it? Turns out - more 'higher standard' for Hillary?
The M$M just cannot put out a "positive story" on Hillary until there is no denying the facts.

(1,788 posts)One of the things I have always loved about Hillary, when they treat her like shit, she gets stronger.
This is just me, but more they keep going after her, I start getting into more protective mode. She's has had the crap thrown at her for so long, and nothing comes of it, I just can't help but be on her side more. I remember the first time I really paid attention to how she was being treated by the press. She said she didn't stay home making cookies and having tea, she had a career. I was newly married and working, and thought good for her. The media went after her like she committed a crime. It made me angry. How dare a woman stand up for herself and the choices she made. Funny thing, I've been a stay at home mom and the only time I make cookies are for the holidays, or if they come out of a tube.

(1,788 posts)I love the fact her and Bernie agree 90% of the time, but not good enough for Hillary. And another thing (I'm on a roll now ) Bernie didn't move her left. She had her plans long before him. She's already left...further than her husband and Obama. Nope, can't give her credit...SMH
