Hillary’s Poll Numbers Are Being Sunk by Media Torpedoes from All Sides (HILLARY GROUP)
...to hear the media tell it, things are not looking up for Hillary, because there is not a journalist alive today, right, left, or center, who stands to gain anything from good news about Hillary Clinton. The recent revelations that cut in her favor have been reported in a relative whisper, while the bulk of the Hillary Clinton coverage has shifted over to the backup narrative, the threat to her candidacy posed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), buoyed by the trust issue they created by pimping a now-debunked poll.
Hillary’s problem is that she has become the common enemy of every corner of the media. Fox News and Joe Scarborough flog the email story because they’re Fox News and Joe Scarborough, while “objective” media like CNN, the New York Times, and the likes of Andrea Mitchell hype it because if it’s not a story, then they don’t have a story. But even the liberal hosts at MSNBC, and perhaps especially them, have been chipping away at Clinton for months, for their own reasons.
Their coverage of the email story has essentially consisted of weak debunking efforts, combined with concern-trolling about the “perception” that these stories “feed into.” When the New York Times falsely reported that Hillary’s email use was the subject of a criminal probe, for example, the response was not to demand the reporter’s firing, but to praise him as “excellent” and to call Hillary supporters “paranoid.”...
The point is that no one in the media is going to save Hillary Clinton. The left is too invested in Bernie Sanders, and everyone else is too invested in a close Democratic primary. What Hillary Clinton needs to turn this narrative around is the same thing that President Obama used to flip the lame-duck narrative that dogged him after Democrats fled from him during the midterms: a string of big victories....
