Desperately slamming Krugman: Columnist unfairly targeted for anti-Trump, pro-Hillary commentary

For writing the truth about Trump, Paul Krugman is absurdly being painted as a Clinton shill

In a sane world, Paul Krugman’s reputation shouldn’t be at risk today. But it is.

Not only is the establishment press irritated with Krugman’s latest article, “Hillary Clinton Gets Gored,” in which he highlights the journalistic malpractice evidenced in the news media’s amplification of Hillary Clinton’s non-scandal scandals over Donald Trump’s lengthy menu of real scandals and obscene negatives, but also, strangely, a vocal faction of the left believes Krugman is water-carrying for his “beloved candidate” Hillary.

The latter is perhaps as equally confounding as the former, especially knowing what Krugman and others objectively observe as an historically apocalyptic GOP candidate slowly closing the polling gap with the far more qualified Democratic rival.

After a full month in which Trump’s campaign bungled and botched its way through the first third of the general election, and completely absent any newsworthy reason to shift to a “Trump redemption” narrative, the press is rapidly fabricating one. Even though Trump’s charitable foundation was investigated and fined by the Internal Revenue Service for a pay-to-play deal in Florida, cable news is instead emphasizing the Clinton Foundation’s alleged scandal in which nothing illegal has been uncovered. Worse, we’ve already witnessed the mainstreaming of white nationalism, as political analyst " target="_blank">Soledad O’Brien observed on CNN over the long weekend. We’re also beginning to see news segments about Hillary’s alleged health issues — her coughing jag on Tuesday became national news, thanks to Trump and the screeching commandant of his paranoid flying monkeys, Alex Jones.

Even the so-called liberal network, NBC, reported on Hillary’s health:
