It was only a matter of time before the media began their drool parade over Hillary Clinton. Since the announcement of her presidential run on Sunday, they have been chasing after her like paparazzi, patiently waiting for any word she might utter, and alas, begin the tedious task of trying to paint her into a likeable person.
No more of the “old” Hillary - an opportunistic, scandal ridden, “technically challenged,” pantsuit-wearing former first lady, Senator, Secretary of State….and one of those “evil one-percenters” she claims to detest. The media’s mission, which they have chosen to accept, is to humanize her as a loving wife, mother, and grandmother.
Sounds like the plot to a Mission Impossible movie. A mission that wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the media’s involvement.
On Thursday Ben Shapiro wrote for Breitbart about the media and their adoration of Hillary, her family, and how they are trying to make her look like “common folk.” Shapiro nailed it. His opening paragraph set the stage for what is to come with the Hillary “transformation” campaign:
Hillary Clinton’s campaign to transform from a wooden political manipulator with a long list of lies into a real human candidate continued apace on Thursday. The media Blue Fairy has descended from the heavens, declaring that Hillary’s new, fun, spontaneous campaign has shown us all the true woman who exists beneath our sexist preconceptions.
The liberal media are unapologetic when describing the Clinton clan. Their quotes and clips are so sugarcoated and dripping with sweetness, you can almost feel a cavity starting to form. Shapiro cites numerous examples:
Chuck Todd from NBC News cheered the “Scooby van”: “…we found out about the road trip and I thought, oh, there’s some spontaneity; it actually felt as if she was having fun. The road trip gives it some humanity.”
According to a Hillary Clinton biography, the Scooby van came about in 2000 because Senator Hillary and company “…objected to the customary limo the First Lady would normally use. They complained the ‘optics’ weren’t right for an aspiring senator who wanted to look like she was a woman of the people….” (So, if the “optics” weren’t right, they knew she wasn’t like the rest of us plebes?)
Recently, the entire country was inundated with stories about Hillary’s little Chipotle adventure. This excursion was complete with footage of her standing at the counter in her big dark sunglasses, never engaging with anyone. Then again, those around her were seemingly unaware of her existence. But then, Mark Halperin, editor at Bloomberg Politics, thought she looked like she was having a great time! He quipped, “…she looks like she’s having fun and she’s doing, for her, new stuff. We’ve never seen her get a burrito before.”
Stop the presses! Hillary gets a burrito and thinks it’s a “fun” new thing to do??!!
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Clinton media slobberfest that will flood the airwaves, papers and internet over the next 18 months.
Drool Parade. That’s the perfect description for the ass kissing already going on from reporters to the Clintons.
They learned how to stay in line by working for the Obama-Mobile.
The media still love the smell of Obama’s pants. Now the fresh aroma of pantsuit is in the air.
Anyone supporting this harridan needs a drool cup.
It’s like 1992 again with the “Clinton Cultists.”
Well, it is probably true that Hillary’s “optics” this week will be more than adequate to help her support among the 48+ percent of the population already inclined to vote for her and among the media. So, “mission accomplished” for Hillary.
The GOPe, on the other hand, continues along its bumbling ways wasting time with an inheritance tax bill Obama is sure to veto, continuing to let Harry Reid run the Senate, and paving the way for Jeb’s coronation.
They don’t call the GOP the stupid party for nothing!
It’s worse than 1992. Now, there is no pretense about character. They know they’re criminals, but they’re going to tell whatever lies they have to in order get her elected.
Remember when the media got all over George H.W Bush for not accurately knowing what the price of a gallon of milk was during the 1992 campaign? The only other time Hillary ever saw a burrito, before she ordered one at Chipotle last week, was when one of the maids at Chappaqua was eating one and she asked what kind of “sandwich” was that. Hillary doesn’t give two cents about common Americans but she knows she has to do this dog and pony show to appease her brain dead, idiot base.
Daniel Henninger of The Journal Editorial Report on FNC today pointed out that she'll have to placate the left wing of the Democratic Party in the primaries, in effect to run on the platform Elizabeth Warren would have run on. That means more of what Obama has given the country for the last 6 years or even further to the left. How will that play against an articulate Republican?
I have waited 64 years to see a rich woman buy a burrito?
how is that possible?
No articulate Republican will ever get his/her message out to the people; until conservatives own the media as the Dems do they’re fighting an uphill battle. Clinton has to get through the primaries; if she is the Dem candidate the media will work overtime to make her president. If it worked with a foreign Muslim less that a decade after 9/11, it can work with a shady hag like her.
She is so unbelievably flawed. A real plus for a dim.
Sorry MSM. Can’t put enough lipstick on that pig!
