This is a new level of absurdity in attacks on Mrs. Clinton. No wonder she doesn't like to hold press conferences. If the press didn't...

NYT Chastises Hillary for Putting Her Hand on Her Heart Whats Next, Breathing?

If there was any doubt that the national media have it in for Hillary, just take a glance at recent coverage.
...........
.............
Now we get this inane and insulting piece from the New York Times rehashing the stale Hillary is inauthentic narrative: Hillarys New Go-To Gesture: Hand to the Heart.
When Hillary Clinton told her audience at a rally in Las Vegas on Thursday Heres what I believe, she punctuated those words with not just a vocal flourish but a physical one. Up went her hand, placed over her heart. Its a subliminal message of sincerity that some language experts consider contrived.
Got it? Shes contrived. According to our national media, nothing Hillary says or does is real. Shes just a cold, robotic, scheming, lying ambition machine.
Back in March of 2015, I identified the dominant anti-Hillary frames see if you recognize them:
CALCULATING (Scheming, crafty, manipulative)
SECRETIVE (Suspicious, paranoid, uncommunicative)
POLARIZING (Divisive, alienating)
UNTRUSTWORTHY (Corrupt, deceitful, dishonest, unethical)
OVER-AMBITIOUS (Will do or say anything to win)
INAUTHENTIC (Disingenuous, fake, unlikable, insincere)
INHUMAN (Machine-like, robotic, abnormal, cold)
OVER-CONFIDENT (Inevitable, defiant, imperious, regal)
OLD (Out of touch, represents the past)
Now think about the profoundly misplaced priorities of the NY Times (and other major media outlets) whose singular mission is to mangle Hillarys public image even as we face the possibility of a Trump presidency.

(58,785 posts)This article would be okay on its own, but it's not on its own. It's part of a huge pattern.
It's not the Times' job to tilt toward any candidate because it believes the other would be bad, but I believe if its coverage was as typically (and so obviously!) slanted on other subjects, not just HRC, its reputation would have been destroyed along ago.

(1,779 posts)that Al Gore was boring and that his campaign was focused on his wearing "earth tones."
That kind of issue-free reporting helped GW Bush enter the White House.

(7,723 posts)the difference is that W Bush ran a competent campaign. But the press, goddammit, are going to make it a close race.

(7,004 posts)It's always good to point out when the press is showing their bias and idiocy.
Hillary is one of the warmest and most human people who have ever been on the political scene. She's a mensch. They know this so they have made it a priority to tell people to believe the opposite of what they see and feel.

Murdoch has had his eye on the New York Times for decades. If this keeps up, even if he is ultimately successful, no one will notice that change.
Like Obama, if she has a successful presidency, the media will never forgive her for the affront.
