Tim Kaine, Hillary's 'safe' choice, gets kid-glove treatment from the media
Fox News ^ | July 25, 2016 | Howard Kurtz

The media are giving their official blessing to Hillary Clinton’s choice of Tim Kaine, praising him as a calm, experienced and slightly dull guy who can help her govern.

What they are not doing is picking the Virginia senator apart, and highlighting his disagreements with the nominee, which marked the coverage of Donald Trump’s selection of Mike Pence.

I happen to think that both Kaine and Pence are solid and serious choices who share some similarities, as both are religious and make little attempt to be flashy. But different media standards seem to apply.

The media coverage of Clinton and the Kaine VP pick is completely complimentary. The media praise them both.

It seems like the stories are written by Clinton operatives and handed to the media.

I wonder why that is.

Great. He’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. No wonder Hillary chose him.

I am sure we will see the dnc emails to the media demanding this treatment, soon enough.

MSM lost a lot of credibility (it never should have had it in the fist place) with the leaks.

Social media abounds. They will fade away.

There are probably very few under 35 that watch news on the alphabets anymore.

The good thing with the dnc/media email collaboration scandal is now many libs and dems have been burned by the corrupt media, like so many conservatives have in the past.

Will they wake up to the corruption, who knows, but it might be a good step in the right direction of the enemedia’s downfall.

Do not overlook the potential of the last go-to action of the Establishment Democrats - massive vote fraud on a scale never before attempted in the history of the US. It will not be one or two states, it shall be in a dozen or more.

Yeah, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that and there are plenty of poll watchers out there to at least keep an eye on the situation.
