Flailing Bernie Slams Hillary and National Media Go After HER (The bad Media On Our Hillary )

http://bluenationreview.com/bernie-slams-hillary-as-unqualified-and-national-media-go-after-her/


It’s 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 didn’t win by enough. If she loses, she lost by too much. If she laughs, she’s being sarcastic. If she’s serious, she’s unlikable. If she’s nuanced, she’s calculating. There is very little Hillary says or does that isn’t 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.

It’s a miserable and shameful double standard.

If these journalists really did their jobs, they’d report that Bernie’s attack on Hillary was simultaneously an attack on President Obama, who Bernie is now clearly campaigning against.

This just gives Hillary and her supporters an opportunity to talk about her very real qualifications. And, shine the light on BS' non-qualifications.

Here's a guy who graduated from college and didn't get a steady job until he was 41 years of age. Ignatious J. O'Reilly of politics

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.
