Media Gives Clinton Total Pass on $12,000 Armani Jacket, But Pounded Palin in ’08
Mediate ^ | June 8th, 2016 | Joe Concha

Posted on 06/11/2016 5:43:42 AM PDT by KC_Lion

The time was eight years ago. The scene: An Alaska consignment shop. Reporters far and wide ran to the Land of the Midnight Sun to do what reporters do: Go straight to the source, get the facts. This was a huge story, one of national importance, after all…

CBS News Headline: Just one week before the 2008 election:

Palin’s Consignment Shop’s Owner Speaks

The CBS News reporter sent was Julie Chen. Her pointed questions included:

“So how long has Governor Palin shopped at your store?”

“What does she usually buy at your store?”

“And does she also shop for her entire family there?”

“What is the price range of your women’s wear?”

“And how much does Governor Palin typically spend at your store?”

“And would you say your clothes look much different than what we’ve been seeing her wear on the campaign trail?”

I have debated on whether to post this from Mediaite or not.

If I screwed something up by excerpting please tell me I will have it fixed.

Hillary Clinton gets a pass on everything. Why? Because she’s a leftist hag, and the media is owned by leftists.

Someday, when revolution comes, these members of The Ministry of Truth need be gibbeted for the lies they have told and what they have manipulated.

I guess the point is that the media is biased. But I’m inured to it now. As the saying goes (and it’s a saying I despise) “it is what it is.”

It was a virtual feeding frenzy on Palin from her hair and glasses down to her shoes. Now, if anyone dare say anything about Clinton, it’s automatically “sexist” and anything regarding what she wears is off limits. Liberals are always given a pass on their wealth, their clothes, and the pass extends to their past and even present radical affiliations. Not a single eyebrow was raised when Sanders was endorsed by the Communist Party USA.

It’s called selective rage....the media WILL TELL YOU when to be angry. Remember CBS’s new slogan
HONESTY....ACCOUNTABILITY..INTEGRITY..... followed by their latest..”.What really matters”

The media you expect it from.

It was the people on the right who fought her (pissant comes to mind here), the ones Breitbart called animals with no souls that you just had to scratch your head over.

It's interesting that Trump has gotten the same treatment from so many on the so called right. Her early endorsement was a sign of the times. Another sign of the times is our very real hope that he wins anyway.

Vote Trump!!! Watching her get appointed to the cabinet will be awesome in so many ways......

Off topic but I’ve been wondering; did the male Clinton supporters also receive their “woman” cards along with fundraiser begging letters?

Yes, the media is biased, and we know it, but we should never accept it. The first thing we can do is to stop buying their products.

I prefer to despise the Media, and I sabotage them, now.

I’m not sure if this could be considered an apt analogue. As I recall the lefties were complaining about who was paying for Palin’s wardrobe.

So who paid for hillary-dillary’s Armani?

I know how to stop #NeverTrump’s attempting to draft a replacement candidate for The Donald. Suggest her. They hate her.

We know exactly what kind of girl she is. At this point, we’re just haggling over price.

Did Kim Jong also wear it? If the WWW becomes potus, will the Kim Jong look be in? I imagine it will be a Kim Jong look with sheets so all our new muzzle friends can wear it too.

Everything that I learned about the left being basically amoral, I learned from a personal experience over twenty years ago (can not talk about it here or in other forums publicly) that influenced me a great deal to convert to being a conservative. Whenever I read about stories like this, I am reminded of that experience all of those years ago.
