EMILY ARROWOOD
Hillary Clinton returned to South Carolina this week to rally support for her 2016 White House bid, and despite speaking at length about the substance of her campaign platform, media chose to fixate on her southern accent.
While speaking to the South Carolina Democratic Women's Council, Clinton laid out her vision for America and highlighted her support for President Obama following their 2008 primary fight. In her remarks, Clinton placed a heavy emphasis on her support for gender pay equality and helping middle class families, while pushing for civility and coalition-building:

They can't find negative talking points so let us listen to her southern accent.

and having a direct channel to connect with people. If the mainstream media were the only game in town, the only thing we would ever hear about are accents and other things that don't matter.

(41,832 posts)9. The focus is on Hillary because she is the frontrunner
They have no one else to set their sites on. They love to try to bring down the strong. It's what they do.

that faint shadow behind her ankle might be a run in her stocking.
No wonder she snubs the pseudo-journalist loons. No wonder Bernie Sanders' attempts to court the press are failing. Real journalism died with Walter Cronkite's generation.
