Hillary Clinton’s Media Demons Return To Haunt Her—Loudly
The Daily Beast ^ | 10 March 2015 | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 03/11/2015 2:45:52 AM PDT by W.

Whether or not Hillary Clinton managed to persuade ordinary voters with her “Email-gate” press conference at the United Nations on Tuesday—assuming ordinary voters even cared—she did nothing to de-escalate a decades-long war with the news media that has been waged, with varying degrees of intensity, since she was first lady of Arkansas and her husband Bill was governor.

“They have great strengths and great weaknesses. Among the weaknesses are a sense that the ends justify the means, a sense of entitlement, and a sense of grievance and paranoia, so those attributes get them to do things that get them into trouble and distract from their broader mission of public service.”

During Tuesday’s hostile engagement outside the UN Security Council, where a mob of more than 100 reporters yelled questions at her, the helmet-haired Clinton looked girded for battle—her sparkly-gray power suit the fashion equivalent of chain mail.

“It’s not enough to give a couple of brief comments and talk her way out of this,” Fournier said. “She can’t spin her way out of this. She can’t explain her way out of this.”

Thus the Clinton-press clash shows no signs of abating...

I smell tea and sympathy. What a load of preemptive strike, the author's red diaper must be full. Article comments are good, though.

Even her supporters must realize that all government employees are accountable and required to follow the same laws, rules, regulations, etc. Their loyalty to her probably trump their loyalty to the truth, though.

“........all government employees are accountable and required to follow the same laws, rules, regulations,......”

Exactly when did that those “laws, rules and regulations” ever get followed? Those bastards, all of them, write their own rules and laws which, if NOT followed by gubmint employees, have no punishment. You or I try that and we might even be sent to ISIS for beheading. It is well past time that an example be made for not following the rules, starting with Hitlary.

I think it is both a perception and a reality that Hillary can not turn over the server without going to prison. I’ll wager that the memory on the server in question has already been burned.

I’ll grant your first point, but I say if that HDD in her server was swapped/wiped/tampered with, that fact, whichever one may be—can’t be hidden.

Hillary is the demon. I believe she is even MORE evil than O’Beelzebub.

She’s a mean ol’ turd from the bottom of the crapper barrel, that’s for sure. Hopefully her liver goes pop soon, it’s gotta be thinner than grammaw’s underpants!

She raided Dr. Evil's closet again, I see.

Yep, she’s got that Mao uniform thing going on again. Her clothing style was discussed on the forum a few days back, she, for unknown reasons, mimics the dress of Mousey-Tongue... :)

Good question, perhaps if she fails at finishing off the United States, she’s dropping off a resume to get Kofi Annan’s old gig...

I just got this from an article in another thread:

... at the UN of all places. It was picked for two reasons. First, the UN gives Hillary the appearance of being above the fray, focused on world politics rather than the pettiness of emails. Second, in order to get a press pass the media has to request one at least 24 hours in advance.

Third, the UN grounds are not US property. She cannot be prosecuted for anything she says or does while on UN grounds.

I thought it looked more like snake skin.

The only way to prevent forensic discovery would be physical destruction. But then she'd be patently guilty of destruction of government records (even if the destruction is "accidental"). She fell into that trap as soon as she used that account/server for official business.

I actually see the MSM smelling blood given how Hillary has a penchant to "whiff" even at softball questions.

She sure has that dress-like-Mao thing going on. Snakeskin becomes her, a perfect fit!
