A large part why Hillary lost in 2016 was how they misrepresented the Hillary emails, and

[JohnSJ]

one week before the election, they falsely claimed that the email investigation was reopened, then paraded every right wing politician across our TV screens propagating that lie, and when Comey came out late Friday and said there were no new emails, and the investigation would not be reopened, they hardly covered it

They did a similar exercise with Kerry and the swift pukes. The swift boaters got free advertising from the illustrious media by playing over and over the swift liars ad as a “news story”

We all know how they ridiculed Howard Dean, and made fun of Al Gore with their snide jokes about the internet, and how he had no sense of humor

Their sexist comments about Hillary how she never smiles and was too shrill still anger me

But the worst example of sexism was when Matt Lauer was interviewing Hillary and trump separately during the 2016 campaign, and the unprofessional way he treated Hillary, not even letting her answer a question before interrupting her, while not only throwing softball questions at trump, but giving him all the time in the world to answer the softball questions, and how Addrew Lack, NBC news chairman commented how proud he was how Lauer handled those interviews

Murrow, Cronkite, Chancler, Brinkley, Reynolds, etc must be rolling in their graves what has happened to their profession

[StevieM]

1. No matter what the media wants to claim, 2016 was all about the fake email controversy.

It was more important than every other factor combined.

And, yes, Matt Lauer's conduct was reprehensible.

[Skittles]

7. Hillary was held to impossible standards, while Trump was held to no standards at all

they were never going to let a woman be president

[FakeNoose]

18. Exactly right!

It makes me sick thinking about how rudely and unprofessionally Hillary was treated. Not only the Repukes but the media journalists and commenters who were anything but "fair and balanced."

I don't ever want to see another woman treated that way. Hillary Clinton was by far the best qualified candidate for President in 2016, and damn near any other year in my lifetime. I'm 70 years old and I've been voting since 1972, so I can remember a lot of presidential elections.

[Skittles]

23. now these same repukes who treated Hillary like garbage

are soooooo concerned about women in Afghanistan........riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[Mr.Bill]

2. My favorite irony from the 2016 campaign:

Trump (regarding Hillary) "You can't have a President that is under investigation."

[Hoyt]

3. Ultimately, I blame those not supporting Clinton because their candidate lost primaries.

[JohnSJ]

8. There was some of that, but it was that final week pushing that the email investigation lie, that

it was reopened that did it, and Comey’s quietly that late Friday evening saying there was nothing new to warrant reopening the investigation, when no one was listening, that was the final straw

[Hoyt]

9. All of that had an impact. But in the end, I believe there were considerably more

that protested by not voting for Clinton in the close states. They gave the election to trump.

[BlueLucy]

13. I agree with you.

Also, her primary opponent continued to hit her hard even after he mathematically lost. Either to purposely tank her chances or to continue the grift.

[robbob]

19. Yeah, but WHY did they feel apathetic about voting for Hillary?

Could the non stop and last minute negative stories about her have something to do with it? I still have to argue with family and friends who think there is something corrupt about the Clintons that is mostly based on a smear campaign against them that started in the 90’s.

[Hoyt]

21. I'm talking Democrats, including some right here. They were mad because their candidates lost in

primaries.

Called themselves "progressives," then helped trump get elected.

[Skittles]

25. and they have never apologized for it

assholes

[Skittles]

24. he did that while KNOWING the FBI was investigating Trump's ties with Russia

un-fucking-believable

[JohnSJ]

26. Yup, and the delay until late Friday was unforgivable

[betsuni]

4. I remember interviews where half was about emails. When Hillary answered it was never enough.

If she tried to change the subject to policy, she was being evasive and refusing to be transparent.

I forget which idiot, after a debate, said Hillary was "too prepared." Idiots!

[triron]

5. The media was fucked up bigtime. Look what they helped get us.

[BlueLucy]

14. Clinton scandals bring good money and ratings. nt

[Baked Potato]

6. They hit the ratings jackpot with Dump. Nt

[Meadowoak]

15. This

[ecstatic]

10. Tune the mofos out. Don't give them clicks or ratings

until they settle tf down. I'm not going to be force fed bullshit. Not after what we witnessed from 2017 through Jan 2021. Not doing it.

[Orrex]

11. At least Lauer didn't commit any sexual assaults during the interview, allegedly

As far as we know.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. I will never forgive the NYT for the constant bogus stories on the emails

I will never subscribe to this publication

[Botany]

16. I will die mad ... The Clinton email scandal was made up bullshit pushed Russia, Fox, and the GOP

But Trump's many crimes, links to the mob, and working w/Trump were well known but not covered.

[Boomerproud]

17. Amen. We have and will live with the consequences.

Journalists my ass.

[Botany]

20. And one of the consequeces is a global pandemic that never would have happened with a President HRC

The NY Times knew about Trump's links to the mob, sleezy ass cons like his fake University,
his failed businesses, his going to cocaine and sex parties, and his love for Hitler but all we
heard about was HRC's and her emails which was part of a Russian disinformation program.

BTW when the NY Times had to print a correction about their coverage of Hillary and her emails
they ran that on the inside of the paper in one or two little paragraphs.

[NurseJackie]

22. She was kneecapped by many... from the right and from the left.

Too many to name them all, but their treachery is unforgivable.
