| Hillary Clinton visiting a seniors only facility in New York City. |
The biggest news outlets have published more negative stories about Hillary Clinton than any other presidential candidate — including Donald Trump — since January 2015, according to a new analysis of hundreds of thousands of online stories published since last year.
Clinton has not only been hammered by the most negative coverage but the media also wrote the smallest proportion of positive stories about her, reports Crimson Hexagon, a social media software analytics company based out of Boston.

So when my daughter and other millenials say they do not "trust" Hillary Clinton, that should not come as any surprise, because they have been instructed not to for virtually their entire lives.
And so much for that the press has a "liberal bias" BS.
Hillary's theme song should be "I'm still standing". She's got my vote.
ReplyDeleteCNN and MSNBC have been the worst. I stopped watching both! And, to think that Donald Trump really hasn't started on her! I'm sure he'll be horrible too!
ReplyDeleteAnd, so much of it is lies! They are even demonizing her husband to boot!
She has my vote! She's smart, has more experience than any of the other politicians, has a record of accomplishments and would be a better POTUS than Bernie or Trump ever thought of being!
She also has class. She ignores the media's criticism, unlike the Banshee Bitch from Wasilla, who yells even if they talk about her toes!
DeleteCorrection: cloven hooves.
DeleteLMAO! I stand corrected.
DeleteYes, despite that, she has more votes than anyone in the race, including republicans.
ReplyDeleteMore proof of the negativity was on the Lawrence O'Donnell show, The Last Word. Last week Lawrence was begging ANY of the presidential candidates to take on the issue of the horrible living conditions in public housing in New York City. I think he was sure that Bernie would jump right on that issue and become the hero. Bernie went to Vatican City and Hillary answered the call to take on the issue and shine some light on it.
ReplyDeleteI thought, great, now Lawrence will be happy and he can give Hillary some credit, which he NEVER does. Did he give her credit? No.
If someone else watched the show and saw it differently I would be interested to hear about it.
I quit watching LOD for that very reason.
DeleteIf one cannot be fair, you are not worth my time.
I watched it and personally I think it was a "set up" question for Bernie to call and answer but his campaign forgot. Hillary called in and it was almost like he was mad about her calling to answer and take on a difficult question that she didn't need to.
DeleteLawrence reported on Clinton's visit to public housing in Harlem. It includes some faint praise.
Deletehttp://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/clinton-visits-public-housing-after-our-report-667231299600
Lawrence O'Donnell is almost as bad as Scarborough. Sickos, the both of em
DeleteAnyone with eyes who's visited the Clinton Foundation, can see what a difference for the better that choice did for all of Harlem. Part of the problem is people are re litigating Hillary's Husband's presidency, and holding it against her. Now they're picking for transcripts of her speeches, how about how much they give to charity? Their philanthropic works? I'm glad she's sticking to her guns on this one. We need someone who's proven and ready to hit the ground running, work for democratic down race folks, overturn "corporations are people", and the balance of the scotus is at stake.
DeleteNot to mention that the interviewers are harder on her than anybody else watch the interviews just from this morning "i'm for Hillary"
ReplyDeleteI can't watch Sunday morning shows anymore, Pam. It puts me in an even worse mood than the thought of having to go back to work tomorrow. :)
DeleteWe get it, you like Hillary...but enough already.
ReplyDeleteIt's GRYPH'S blog.
DeleteWTF is wrong with you? Start your own.
Shut up Bristol
DeleteWe get it you can't stand Hillary but no one is forcing you to come to this blog.
Deletelol 9:03, too much coffee this morning?
Delete9:46 AM
DeleteNope. You don't get to dictate what Gryph decides to post!
8:49 "enough already"
DeleteBecause you don't like it? Wow! What a self important twit. This isn't your blog sweetie.
You really don't get how blogs work, do you?
DeleteYou mis understand I LOVE Hillary she is the best candidate.
ReplyDeleteNot one other candidate is as tough or will try to do more to make the country better!
ReplyDeleteJust a thought...how many voters do you think may be associating the character Larry David plays and has played in movies and tv to Bernie Sanders...therefore increasing Bernie's popularity? And giving him their vote! Larry David is definitely a pop culture figure.
Delete9:42 AM - In reverse association, Tina Fey was brilliant in outing what an ignorant fool Sarah Palin is!
DeleteHow is a comedian impersonating Sanders saying, "Jane helps me pull up my pants" helping Bernie's image?

LMFAO
ReplyDeleteHillary motorcade gets showered with dollar bills on way to another Clooney/big money people fundraiser LOL!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT0ZSjbJ5l4
It amazes me how Hillary people think she gives two shits about the little people.
Amazing. You are flaunting your ignorance ... again. How old are you, 12?
DeleteThey are raising money for down ballot dems, dumbass.
DeleteThe fact is it takes big money to run for President. Citizens United made sure of that. Can't blame the candidates for chasing the money. Good luck to Sanders trying to do it without the PACs. I just don't think it is a realistic goal at this point.
DeleteAnd I have no doubt that HC will accomplish more positive outcomes for the "little people" than any other candidate.
Please keep lyfao, though I have no idea why you would advertise that you have a fat ass.
Great article! "On Becoming Anti-Bernie" by Robin Alperstein https://medium.com/@robinalperstein/on-becoming-anti-bernie-ee87943ae699#.fwx1hngi8
DeleteSo when is the last time Hillary actually shared the same air as someone worth less than 50 million dollars lol?
DeleteAt least for longer than a 5 second photo op where she cares about the regular folk lol.
She's automatically doing more for the "little people" by fundraising and stumping for democratic reps.
Delete2:02>
DeleteSanders’ 5% number was even more magical than Jeb!’s. And so the entire basis of Sanders’ promises for (promises I wanted to believe) was a historically unprecedented assumption. You can’t base a radical re-imagination of the U.S. economy and the imposition of the largest tax increases in U.S. history on made-up numbers. Sanders was able to find a single economist to weigh in positively on his plan, but that analysis was ripped to shreds by most others, who showed that Sanders’ plan doesn’t add up on its own terms (estimates are something like a $1–2 trillion shortfall even at the 5% growth assumption). So I concluded that the backbone of Sanders’ plan is founded on, functionally, a lie.
"Sanders accomplishes two deeply disingenuous goals: (i) he sets himself apart from his colleagues in Congress as the only one who is allegedly “true” to his “values,” thereby creating the myth that he is morally superior and incorruptible; and (ii) he turns the necessity of compromise — without which literally nothing can get done in Congress — into a negative, very similar to the Tea Party and hardliners on the far right in Congress, thereby allowing him to transform his failure to compromise and thus his failure to have achieved any workable progressive legislation in 25 years into a “virtue” — a testament to his supposed integrity."
"So Sanders has gone too far, and character assassination and innuendo have subsumed his campaign. Instead of discussing progressive solutions, he now spends more time arguing that Hillary is “unqualified” because she is corrupt, untrustworthy and immoral based on her fundraising or speech giving."
"Sanders is out there attacking Obama and Hillary for the Affordable Health Care Act as if the Democrats sold out the progressive agenda in 2009–10 when they fought tooth and nail against lockstep GOP opposition for what they could get and managed the greatest legislative achievement (even though it is far from perfect) in generations, so that 20 million Americans who did not now have health insurance, and Sanders attacks them and suggests they are corporate shills in thrall to the insurance companies? This is outrageous. It is disingenuous. It is wrong. And it is lazy, binary thinking that omits history and political reality. But this is of a piece with Sanders’ entire approach — he’s a professional protester, and little more."
There seems to always be some reason why someone other than him is responsible for anything that happens. He does not “own” things, and doesn’t allow himself to be held accountable.
Oh, I gettit! the folks supporting bernie are unable to think on their own.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Gryph. Preserve the status quo.
Why even try?
go hillary....meh...
I'm sure they are able, but I hear the exact same phrases from all of them over and over. Sounds like group think.
Delete10:05 -- lol
DeleteMust say, Hillary looks stricken by what she is seeing. As in, "Christ, my shoe closet is bigger than this."
She is stricken by the sad state of Section 8 housing, 11:21. You can take easy pot shots, but she's there looking and listening. Voters in NY understand and Clinton will have a resounding victory on Tuesday.
DeleteGryph says it is all about pragmatism. 30+ years of pragmatism is what has led this country to where we are now.
DeleteWe're in our third decade of attacks on Hillary Clinton, many of them rooted in misogyny.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to become blind to Hillary Clinton's accomplishments, and her skills and intelligence, and her life-time commitment to public service.
There is no human better suited for the Presidency at this time in our history.
(And yes, it should go without saying, but it's apparently important to say it: Of course I will vote for the Democratic nominee, whomever that is. I am not stupid, I care about the public good, and I am not a Republican.)
The problem for me is that there is only one Democrat running, if Hillary doesn't get the nod I will not vote for president on my ballot.
DeleteThat's as short-sighted as a Sanders supporter not voting if Clinton gets the nomination, 11:22. I'm a strong Clinton supporter, and I'm liking Sanders less and less, but on the off chance he gets the nom, I'll gladly vote for him.
DeleteThat is irrational 11:22. Did you learn nothing from 2004?
Delete@ Liz
DeleteIt's not irrational at all. I will not vote for Bernie since he has no interest in equal pay for women, and women's healthcare and reproductive rights according to him are "unimportant" to quote him. I think he is senile and frankly an idiot. Oh, and he is not and has never been a Democrat.
Beyond the negative news reporting, PACS are spending more money on anti-Clinton efforts-- last I checked, $3.5 million against Clinton compared to $50 thousand against Sanders. Imagine what Sanders' poll numbers would be if $3.5 million was spent against him and negated the current, lovable Larry David image.
ReplyDeleteHow much of that 3.5 mill is paid for by Bernie and his Bros?
DeleteI don't know how much he's spent but Bernie has an anti-Clinton ad out now.
DeleteYeah and Hillz doesn't hold a grudge forever, at least I don't see her trying to go after them negative. Take that poor old hag stinky durty sarah.
ReplyDeleteMen, you can't outrun us forever. Women are going to be instrumental in this world. Besides birth and all that other stuff you've regulated us to. Can't outrun yo mama forever.
ReplyDeleteGirly-men fear Hillary
ReplyDeleteReddit has been overrun by BernieBots praising BS to the heavens but posting innumerable scathing attacks on HC, repeating the Repubtile lies and even creating mountains out of media molehills. Try to counter with a comment, you're excoriated and accused of everything from elitism to criminal complicity. They're truly unhinged, I swear.
ReplyDeleteIt's very similar to C4P. Anyone who had anything negative to say about Sarah Palin, even if they otherwise supported her, was run off.
DeleteYou either love Sanders unconditionally without question or you are a "shill" for Clinton.

DeleteI have always had enormous admiration for Hillary Clinton. She has never deserved the scorn heaped upon her by the GOP and the media. What the GOP hates about her is her intelligence, her ability to articulate what she thinks, and her tenacity in the face of genuine meanness. I think they've known, ever since she came on the national political scene, that she might one day truly come into her own and run for president. She was an excellent first lady (often under horrific circumstances), she served the country and the state of New York very well in the Senate, and she was a wonderful Secretary of State. Until the media attacker her over Benghazi - a non-issue like all of their earlier attacks on her character.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
She's a victim of sexism. The old boy network at work.
ReplyDeleteI suspected this even before I read this post.
ReplyDeleteWe need to donate more. Bernie's bringing in more bucks. We need to help Hillary counteract the unfair reportage.
SNL Explains Bernie Sanders' Plan To Break Up Big Banks: 'Yadda Yadda Yadda—They’ll Be Broken Up!'
ReplyDelete“Once I’m elected president, I’ll have a nice schvitz in the White House gym. Then I go to the big banks, I’ll sit them down and yadda yadda yadda — they’ll be broken up!”

Well at least Promise You Everything But Can't Deliver Bernie came up with something instead of his retarded glare whenever he's asked about his plan.
I agree with Bernie Sanders that people who make more money than the poor who are living on food stamps should share their money.
ReplyDeleteRight Bernie?
Bernie am I right?
Where did Bernie run too? Boy that old man has some speed.
CBS News:

People who make money in the 6 figures should share it with the poor except when it comes to Bernie Sanders's money
I like your style! Keep it coming!
DeleteThere is no Bernie in "TEAM"
ReplyDeleteHow come Bernie Sanders only donated 4% of his revenue to charity? Doesn't Bernie believe in helping the poor?
NO!
DeleteThat's your job
How much time and work has Jane Sanders contributed to charities?
ReplyDeleteJane was paid $200,000 to resign from her job as chancellor of a college. What has she done since that time?
If America sees their neighbor's children cold and hungry, why are you looking at them. That's the government's job.
ReplyDeleteInternet-
“‘I don’t believe in charities,” said Mayor Sanders, bringing a shocked silence to a packed hotel banquet room. The mayor, who is a socialist, went on to question the ”fundamental concepts on which charities are based” and contended that government, rather than charity organizations, should take over responsibility for social programs,'” the article stated.....
“It’s no surprise that Bernie Sanders then, and I think even now, really has no real respect or regard for civil society,” Loconte told WND and Radio America. “This is the problem with socialism. It sees such an overwhelming, intrusive role for the state at all levels, there’s no room left for the voluntary society.” ....
Loconte said Americans have always understood instinctively that neighbor helping neighbor builds better communities than relying on the government to solve problems. He said Europe is learning this hard lesson right now.
“The overweening state cannot meet human needs, cannot address our deepest moral and social problems,” he said. “It just can’t do it and Bernie Sanders, apparently, has just not learned a thing from American history, from European history and not even the present crisis.”
From the very start of America, private charity and a vibrant civil society set us apart from the world, according to Loconte. He said Alexis de Tocqueville rightly observed this in his famous “Democracy in America.”
“He sees something in America that he doesn’t see in Europe,” Leconte said. “What he sees is individuals coming together in associations to tackle problems together, common problems. So he sees a moral energy, civic energy, religious energy used to try to produce a more just and humane society.”
He said socialism threatens every bit of that American fabric.
“That’s the genius of a vibrant, independent civil society. It’s something that socialists like Bernie Sanders cannot and will not understand,” Laconte said. “Not only will they not promote it if they get into real positions of power and responsibility in government, they will hinder it. They will undermine it. Ultimately, they’ll destroy it.”....
Why not elect Bernie Sanders president?
ReplyDeleteBernie will be 75 years old if elected and will most likely die in office anyway from all that stress.
So let's give Bernie his "Make A Wish" wish and elect him Democratic Socialist President
Give an old man some joy, what's left of his life.
