The American media has a high school crush on Hillary Clinton. She’s just dreamy; perfection incarnate, just as all high school crushes are.
And like the cheerleader who knows the chess club nerd is crushing on her, she treats that hapless geek like dirt.
And still, the crush cruises on.
I don’t think that they’ve got a crush on Mrs. Clinton. I think they know that they’ve got to close ranks around the only viable candidate, but it’ll change once they realize what the package deal is.
This is what a Democrat candidate has to do to get the full-throated endorsement of American journalists:
-Aggressively defend the right to abortion up to the moment the birth certificate is signed.
-Aggressively defend putting ‘diversity’ into law (e.g. public policy).
That’s it. They can say anything about trade deals, taxes, or American intervention abroad, as long as the democrat candidate touches those two bases, he or she will be carried to home plate on the shoulders of American J-school graduates.
And Vox on “The media’s 5 unspoken rules for covering Hillary.”

All the rules boil down to one: anytime the Clintons’ get bad press, it’s the Republicans fault. See how that works. The article is typical of our elites — badly written and full of question-begging. “The media might have been in the bag for Barack Obama, but he didn’t win because he got positive coverage. He won because he had better strategy, a better message, and better skills at delivering that message — in the 2008 primary and in the two general elections he won.”
No one cares if Obama won because he “had better strategy, a better message, and better skills at delivering that message.” If the guy who wrote that believes that media was in the bag for Obama in 2008 and 2012 that is where the story is at. The MSM still claims that they played it straight down the middle in 2008 and 2012.
I’m telling you they are going to turn on her like last time except this time it almost seems like a machevellian strategic ploy. Don’t be fooled I have solid sources down here saying Sanders can pull off the upset. Say what you want about him but the guy actually believes what he says. He’s going to crush Clinton in a debate (odds are after he mops the floor with her in the 1st once she won’t go to any others)
