Hillary, the press still loves you!


CBS Continues Its Blackout of Hillary’s Mumbai Mess; Brief Coverage on ABC & NBC Sunday Shows  . . . "Given the blowback, you’d imagine that the broadcast networks would have found at least a few moments for this controversy. You’d be wrong. As of Monday morning, March 19, ABC, CBS and NBC have so far failed to mention Clinton’s comments on either their morning or evening news programs (although CBS did find a few seconds to talk about Clinton fracturing her wrist on the same trip).
"NBC and ABC did squeeze in brief mentions on their Sunday shows, eight days after the original comments, while CBS’s Face the Nation continued to hide the entire mess from viewers." . . .
Hillary Clinton Explains Comments That Women Vote How Their Husbands Tell Them To Vote  . . . "Clinton says she did not realize how hard it would hit many who heard it.
"Clinton repeated that she lost the support of white women overall “to a candidate who relies on scare tactics and false attacks, masking the fact that he is otherwise no friend to most Americans.' ”

But Why Was Hillary in India, CBS? Net Notices Fall, But Not Her Bashing of Americans  . . . "Why was Clinton in India? Did she say anything interesting? In fact, she said this
I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward.... And his whole campaign — 'Make America Great Again' — was looking backward. You know, you didn't like black people getting rights; you don't like women, you know, getting jobs; you don't want to, you know, see that Indian American succeeding more than you are — you know, whatever your problem is, I'm gonna solve it.
"Yet, as Graham noted, here was the non-coverage of Clinton insulting large swathes of the country: 
ABC: Zero. (Unless....you count The View!)CBS: Zero.NBC: Zero. PBS NewsHour: Zero.NPR: Zero. MSNBC prime time: Zero. The New York Times: Zero.The Los Angeles Times:  Zero.USA Today: Zero.
