http://bluenationreview.com/bernie-slams-hillary-as-unqualified-and-national-media-go-after-her/Its no secret that the national media have clear anti-Hillary proclivities. Their default stance is to criticize her no matter what she says or does. If she wins, she didnt win by enough. If she loses, she lost by too much. If she laughs, shes being sarcastic. If shes serious, shes unlikable. If shes nuanced, shes calculating. There is very little Hillary says or does that isnt filtered through a demeaning and destructive prism.
The bottom line is a stark one. Hillary Clinton faces three opponents: Bernie Sanders, the GOP, and the national media.
Good morning. Yesterday I was told a First Lady, Sec of State, Yale lawyer, world's most admired woman is "unqualified." #HillarySoQualified
Once again, a woman attempting to equalize the playing field has to work three times as hard, jump through more hoops and face bigger obstacles to reach her goal.
Its a miserable and shameful double standard.
If these journalists really did their jobs, theyd report that Bernies attack on Hillary was simultaneously an attack on President Obama, who Bernie is now clearly campaigning against.

white (birth chance)
male (birth chance)
no disabilities (luck of the draw)
College education ( benefit of white male privelage )"
No criminal record ( " " " )
Good family background ( same )
with no resume other than this, he gets to be mayor of Burlington VT and later Senator.
Born on third base claims he hit a triple
And Hillary fights off pitch after pitch just to get a hit....and she is somehow flawed, unqualified
Qualified applicant is such WMP code speak.
