Just yesterday we pointed out the “Premature Obit” published by the Huffington Post explaining, in advance, “Why Hillary Lost.” The point of the HuffPo article was to preemptively identify scapegoats that could be blamed for a Hillary loss in November with the writer admitting that the mainstream media would not be able to bear the thought that it was in any way her fault.
Now today, seemingly right on cue, Harvard professor Thomas Patterson, penned an on op-ed in the Los Angeles Times noting that if Hillary loses in November it will be the result of the media’s biased coverage of her email scandal. Ironically, Patterson’s excuses lined up perfectly with scapegoats #1 and #2 on the HuffPo list.
If Hillary Clinton loses the presidential election in November, we will know the reason. The email controversy did her candidacy in. But it needed a helping hand — and the news media readily supplied that.
Spot on, Patterson, almost makes us wonder whether you were copying off of your neighbor’s test?
Being the overachieving Harvard Professor type, Patterson also goes on to reference HuffPo’s #6 scapegoat by alleging that “sexism” is the only possible reason that could explain why the media chose to spend time covering Hillary’s email scandal rather than her “many accomplishments” that make her one of the most “fully prepared” candidates to ever seek the Presidency.
Few presidential candidates have been more fully prepared to assume the duties of the presidency than is Clinton. Yet, her many accomplishments as first lady, U.S. senator, and secretary of State barely surfaced in the news coverage of her candidacy at any point in the campaign. She may as well as have spent those years baking cookies.
But, Patterson offers up additional “analysis” intended to prove his alleged media bias saying that 11% of the media’s coverage of Hillary leading up to the DNC was focused on her email scandal with 91% of the email-related coverage having a “negative tone.”
My analysis of media coverage in the four weeks surrounding both parties’ national conventions found that her use of a private email server while secretary of State and other alleged scandal references accounted for 11% of Clinton’s news coverage in the top five television networks and six major newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times. Excluding neutral reports, 91% of the email-related news reports were negative in tone. Then, there were the references to her character and personal life, which accounted for 4% of the coverage; that was 92% negative.
But, we too are guilty of pointing out the bias in the media when it comes to covering Hillary. Just a couple of weeks ago we pointed out how after 275 days of Hillary dodging the press, she finally offered to take questions from a vicious press pool which violently attacked her with questions like “How was your labor day weekend?” and “Do you have a Labor Day message?”….Vicious animals, every single one…have you no soul?
