Going into Sunday night’s debate, ABC, CBS and NBC offered relentless coverage of the just-disclosed audio of Donald Trump in 2005 talking about his attempted sexual conquests, suggesting this could be the revelation that finally ends Trump’s campaign.
Even though the story broke on Friday afternoon, the three broadcast evening newscasts were ready with just under 10 minutes of coverage that night; the next morning, the Saturday morning shows churned out another 36 minutes of coverage of Trump’s scandal.
But shortly after the Trump story broke, hacked e-mails gave political reporters a glimpse into the speech excerpts that Hillary Clinton’s campaign refused to disclose during her primary campaign against Bernie Sanders. The excerpts showed Clinton boasting in her speeches to big Wall Street banks that she had to present one set of policy views to the public, while keeping her private views to herself.
The networks treated this as an afterthought. Friday’s CBS Evening News carved out a mere five-second mention at the conclusion of a story about Russian hacking of the election. The next morning, the Saturday broadcast morning shows offered less than five minutes of coverage to Clinton’s latest headache.
On ABC’s Good Morning America, co-host Dan Harris pointed out the incongruity to analyst Matthew Dowd: “On any other morning we’d be leading with a story that broke overnight about Hillary Clinton, these leaked excerpts of highly paid speeches she gave to elite Wall Street firms…”
Dowd agreed the disclosures made Clinton “very vulnerable,” but then acted as if the media had no choice but to bury them under the avalanche of Trump news: “This is getting totally lost….When you compare it to what Donald Trump is going through, there’s no comparison.”
Indeed, looking at Saturday night’s news and the Sunday morning and evening shows, the networks produced another 58 minutes of Trump coverage, not including political talk shows like Meet the Press or This Week. But the Clinton scandal received just under three minutes of additional coverage.
If Hillary is such a worthy candidate, why does the media have to protect her so?
What am I saying…..
I expect the media to be stumbling all over themselves to protect Clinton. After all, remember the Vanity Fair magazine article where a female journalist wrote that she would fellate Bill Clinton for keeping abortion legal. (Which somehow isn’t considered vulgar by the hyperventilating pantywaists of the MSM.)
The enraging hypocrisy of the pseudo-leadership of the GOP , who demanded a loyalty oath from Trump when the GOPe were so sure that Jeb! was going to get the nomination, are acting ever more desperate to protect their status quo as the quislings pretending to resist the leftist violations of the Constitution as they grovel like whipped puppies before the media.
It is utter insanity when the support of the Constitution is portrayed as “extreme”, while the idea that someone with XY chromosomes, the associated physique, and who has fathered 5 children, can be a “woman” is accepted as “normal”.
It is completely shameless lack of self-awareness for leftists to portray those who argue against confiscatory taxation as “greedy”, as they spew envy-inducing but economically vacuous nonsense about “the rich need to pay their fair share”.
It is definitional Orwellian double-think to howl in trumped up false outrage over vulgar locker room talk while ignoring the cackling laughter of a slimy defense attorney who got a 40-plus year old rapist off from charges of raping a female minor.
There is no excuse for voting for Hillary, nor any other democrat, other than mental illness and/or evil intent.

Maybe you can find some shocking revelation in there that was worth more than 8 minutes of attention.
Globalists, like Hillary, Democrats and even the GOPe, find no fault with her admission that she’d prefer a hemispheric government with no borders.
That is the crux of this election.
Not how many she can promise ”free this and free that,” to.
But whether we remain a country or not.
Simpletons will vote based on her promises without noting that she’s been making these same promises for 26 + years and NEVER keeps them!
Make us surrender to a Global Goverment all under the United Nations the ICC signed by Bill Clinton on his last day in office and the Small Arms Control Treaty signed by american traitor John Kerry plus Obama acts of treason

Whew! That was close.
Onward, to Debate #3!
