Sharyl Attkisson: Why Did Hillary Survive a Brian Williams-like Tale? Read Latest Br

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsmax-Tv/Sh.../09/id/623668/

Quote:
Emmy Award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson, who covered the story of Hillary Clinton's lie about being shot at in Bosnia, says she can't understand how the former secretary of state weathered the scandal while NBC News anchor Brian Williams may not.
Does appear as a double standard.

Glenn Greenwald calls it "Progressive Hypocrisy"

They don't care when "their guy" does it.

They will tolerate anything as long as it's "their guy"

Including molesting children and stealing people's money.

Because Hillary is protected by media, they circle the wagons when it comes to protecting their political partners.
Brian Williams works for a corporation which has to be a little more responsible, and also other media outlets smell blood in the water and don't want to miss a chance to take down a competitor. They're opportunists. CNN is going all out with this. They're hypocrites of course. Williams is expendable, they can stick someone else in that slot who is also on board with the program. There is no shortage of willing applicants to step in. No need wasting any capital defending him.

Atkisson wasn't protected either, she was deemed a problem and government went after her, spied on her and others at Fox and the media was fine with all that. If you're not on board with the Washington-Big government-media complex then you're deemed a whack job, racist, or worse.

It's too bad the scope of the discussion has not been widened to include the editors.

Hillary survived so well she lost the Democratic nomination to Obama in 2008.

That's why there was never a movie called "Bosnian Sniper".

Have you ever noticed that those who do not have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of always seem to know how to handle the money of those who do.
