Scarborough: We Cut Clip of Dem Focus Group—Too Negative About Hillary
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/07/2015 5:53:25 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Is it the MSM's role to protect Hillary Clinton's image by preventing the public from seeing what members of her own party think of her?

Today's Morning Joe played a clip from a Dem focus group in New Hampshire in which there was near unanamity that Hillary's personality could be a serious turn-off to voters, particularly male ones. Joe Scarborough then said: "we actually cut a good bit in there, out, that was even more negative of Hillary because we thought it was actually too negative and didn't like some of the connotations there."

Scarborough admits he edited clip from Dem focus group because too negative about Hillary.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Is Scarborough some kind of idiot? Hasn’t he ever heard of shoot, shovel and shut-up? Cutting incriminating material and then announcing on the air that you have done it draws far more attention than if you had just run the clip unedited.

And yet, even with all these endless media games to protect & promote Hillary, her campaign is still dying.

Shows just how much of a lousy politician she really is. The next 6 months will be painful for the Democrats.

LOL

I wonder what the “connotations” were?

The worst person in that video is the fembo guy who says about her condescension, "If she could lose that, I would vote for her."

What a vapid twit. How about you look at some issues, instead of voting like a 13 year old girl.

Sounds like great opposition research for Biden.

Idea. Anyone want to be undercover Biden researchers for a few weeks. Create a “independent” organization and provide Biden opposition research on Hillary.

Could be fun.

Mission accomplished.

Maybe the word wasn’t “connotations” but some other, shorter “c” word.

Oh I imagine the MSNBC phones are burning up with calls from Hillary 2016 headquarters. I’ve heard she has a mean streak.

Well, even at pathetic Fox News, they'll report and you decide. I guess PMSNBC is deciding for its watcher, albeit few. (Freudian type)

You KNOW the dems have NOTHING because they keep hillary in the limelight ...

This article/clip is an excellent example of how toasted she is

Analyze your OWN self ...

ONCE you've tasted something sour, or developed an opinion, or seen something you don't like ... etc., ad infinitum ...

HAVE YOU EVER, IF "CORRECTED" GONE BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL POSITION ?


NO !

It is impossible to be TOO negative about Hillary.

Liberalism is infantilism. These people have no clue the aim is to place them in perpetual childhood under the watchful eye of government.

I bet she screams and throws temper tantrums like the little witch she is. I bet she throws things at people too. She sure looks the part. People with discernment know evil when they see it; even if's smiling and trying to look harmless....

I saw my first Hillary bumper sticker yesterday. It had Hillarys “ H” and the arrow pointing to “ BURN THE BITCH. I had a good chuckle over that!
