Media Ignores Scott Walker’s Campaign Collapse While Obsessing Over Hillary Clinton

.........Scott Walker has lost more support in Iowa than Hillary Clinton (-7 points) and Jeb Bush (-6 points) combined, but the media doesn’t point out how wrong they were. Instead, the press is obsessively focused on Hillary Clinton. Scott Walker can lose nearly three-fourths of his support, and the press doesn’t blink, but Hillary Clinton drops seven points in a contest that she is still leading, and the media freaks out.

The press parrotted the Republican Party line about their deep bench when it turns out their roster of candidates have fallen flat on their faces. Three of the top four candidates in the Republican field are political newcomers.

The Republican Party is setting itself up for an unprecedented failure, but all the media is concerned with is the fact that Clinton has slipped by a handful of points to the most popular candidate in either party.

Democrats, liberals, and progressives need to be speaking out more about the media’s double standard. Scott Walker is getting a free pass on his total failure while Clinton is having her political obituary written while she is winning.

The corporate controlled media treats Republicans better than Democrats, and the bias has never been clearer when one compares Scott Walker and Hillary Clinton.
