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."

I'd think most males in this country (real males.. not the simpering beta types who populate liberalworld) would liken Hillary's nastiness to a vindictive ex-wife.

Is Hillary, a washed-up politician, morphing into a lunatic DC version of Norma Desmond, a washed-up Hollywood actress? (Desmond is a character in the movie "Sunset Boulevard")

Joe, you mean that there is a conspiracy to try to make Hillary not look as bad as she looks anyway?

Do you think it’s possible that he wanted the footage aired and was overruled? You’re right — announcing the deletions probably brings more attention to them. Perhaps that was his intention.

It must have been really bad because Scarborough is NOT a fan of Hillary...

I believe it was from a focus group... it won’t be ‘found’ unless the focus group company releases it.

“we thought it was actually too negative and didn’t like some of the connotations there”

Translation: guys kept calling her names we can’t broadcast on the air, that are usually reserved for their ex-wives!

Doubtful Joe makes the editing decisions.

He was letting folks know it was edited and why.

Don’t forget “Stolen Valor” where she and Chelsea supposedly had to dodge sniper bullets in Bosnia, while the rest of her posse claims no such thing ever happened.

Scarborough mentions “connotations.”

Some people in the focus group must have started talking about Hillary!’s lesbian girlfriends.
