How Hillary Clinton Controls the Media - (began effort to block Ed Klein months before it was out!)

The Hillary War Machine has run a coordinated attack campaign against Ed Klein and his book "The Truth About Hillary," beginning before the book was even published or available for advance readings. Team Hillary's major ally in this anti-Klein effort?

The so-called Mainstream Media (MSM) - comprising mostly East Coast elitist media institutions, i.e., CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek and Time magazine - are staffed with pro-Hillary zealots and acolytes who practice what is now known as "advocacy journalism." In other words, they use their media outposts to preach a leftist political agenda - in this case, defending their latest heroine, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

1. Beginning in April - two full months before the book's June 21 publication date - the Hillary War Machine, using cutouts, began faxing anti-Klein diatribes to New York state radio shows. I know this because one such radio host, Kevin Doran, up in Hornell, New York, interviewed me and told me, "I started receiving these faxes from some PR firm about a book I had never even heard of!"

2. Then, when the first excerpt of the book appeared on June 8 in Vanity Fair, a pro-Hillary front group, Media Matters, began rebutting and distorting things in the book.

3. As the book hit the bookstores on June 21, Ed Klein suddenly found himself canceled from a number of TV shows that had already booked him or indicated they were "strongly leaning" toward booking him, including "Good Morning America," Paula Zahn and Aaron Brown.

CNN and Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz reported that Team Hillary was telling these MSM TV shows and networks not to book Klein - or else face the consequences of unfriendly relations with Hillary from then on.

MSNBC's head, Rick Kaplan, a Clinton pal who overnighted in the Lincoln Bedroom, has banned Klein from appearing on any MSNBC shows.

(Team Hillary is also rounding up people to submit negative book reviews to Amazon - even if they have not read the book.)

4. Now comes the latest salvo from the Hillary War Machine: a new spin that the book - which has now been in the top ten on the New York Times best-seller list for three straight weeks - is actually "not doing well."

Friday afternoon, I was contacted by a Newsweek writer who told me: "I am surprised how badly the book is doing. It has fallen off quickly."

When I replied that Klein's book was doing very well given that Klein had been blackballed from network TV (except for Hannity & Colmes, Lou Dobbs and John Gibson), she replied: "Oh, he's had plenty of publicity. And the book isn't doing as well as 'Unfit for Command' (the Swift Boat vets' book of last year). It is sinking quickly."

Again I countered, "Yeah, but that book had $100 million worth of TV ads supporting it!"

Not coincidentally - and almost at the same time - Ed Klein was contacted by the New York Times for a piece in Sunday's Week in Review section. Within minutes of beginning this conversation, Klein knew the theme of the story: The book is not doing well.

The reporter, Edward Wyatt, repeated virtually everything the Newsweek reporter had said to me: The book's sales were poor and "falling quickly" and not as good as 'Unfit for Command.'

When Ed Klein countered that the book was now on the New York Times list for the third straight week, Wyatt blew that off and kept the focus on his Team Hillary-directed spin: The book is not doing that well. He used the exact same words as the Newsweek reporter: "drop-off," "sinking" and "fallen."

Clearly Team Hillary distributed a new set of Talking Points to their media lap dogs in the MSM.

The fact is "The Truth About Hillary" is a smash success. It has sold very well; Newsmax reports it to be the single best-selling book ever offered through the NewsMax online store.

The biggest story of the saga surrounding "The Truth About Hillary" is that it has exposed the fault lines in the media: the so-called MSM have shed any semblance of impartiality. The New York Times has shown itself to be the house organ of the Hillary for President campaign. And others follow suit just to curry favor with their latest leftist icon: Queen Hillary.

Unfortunately the Wicked witch of the East had success in that area, but not in the book being number 4 or 3 in the NY best sellers list!! Still it's pretty scary to think she wields such power over the presstitues! Campaign 08 is going to be sheer misery!! Our party MUST start campaigning against her now instead of playing nicy and footsy with the Bit**!!:(

so...... what's in this book? I haven't bought a copy yet

I haven't finished the book and hope that it gets better. So far it's rumors, gossip and innuendos with a few documented facts that have been known for a long time.

I dislike Hillary as much as anybody on this forum and think she is a threat to this country but the truth is the truth.

If you are looking for serious and new factual charges against the witch look somewhere else.

I am glad I bought it however for the simple fact that it probably does pi$$ off Hillary because of its high sales.
